Lisa, the Simpson!

Post song lyrics you like here. I'll start with the song I'm accompanying scenes of LF with, Bob Dylan's "Shelter From The Storm".

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When darkness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Now the bonds are broken, but they can be retied,
With one more journey to the woods,
the holes where spirits hide.
It's a neverending battle, for a peace that's always torn,
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I've seen these lyrics already, and can only say once again that it's really nice.
And yeah, it fits "Lisa Fitzgerald" story imho...

My contribution to this thread is very questionable, because I prefer heavy music.
The story is "Child of Darkness", the soundtrack is "A Fallen Star" by Norther. I still think they suit each other.
Here is the lyrics... it's rather short, but like with the most of such songs, the music makes up for that.

Now there's no denying
Veiled in grey no more
The time has come to see
You've already fallen too deep

To rise again, would never be the same
Long gone, the days nightfall upon you

To rise, to fall, to waste away
The blessed can find it all the same
Not to see, not to wonder
As all is torn asunder

Questions never asked, faces forever masked
Your fate is to unfold, in places far below

A Fallen Star is what you are
Forever scarred in heaven
A Fallen Star is what you are
And you have come so far

IMO, another song that suits COD is Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here" at least, somewhat, anyways.

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here



I remember the very first script I did, Bartman meets the Blazer, and, to some possible regret, am going to post the song that I think goes well with it. Five for Fighting's "Superman".

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me


I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face
beside a train

It's not easy to be me


Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see


It may sound absurd
but don't be naive-
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
but won't you concede?
Even Heroes have the right to dream

It's not easy to be me


Up, up and away: away from me
It's all right
You can all sleep sound tonight


I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees


I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me.

With my dedication to music, i'd post hundreds of lyrics in here, but i'll go with one that marked my life someway. It's dedicated to Lisa, and myself, like the picture i drew from it.

Blind eyes search the sky,
but try not to reveal
Uncertainty behind
images dancing on a wall...

Each tear a vision,
the more you cry you'll learn
It's so easy to hide in the dark...

The song you know so well
encourages to flee...
The answer to your tears
lingers in colours you can't see

Each word a whisper,
the more they say you'll find
It's so easy to hide in the dark...

You won't find the treasure below the rainbows end
Black and white are strangers to the pictures of the rain

And you meet another day
with hasty little lies,
When someone laughs you turn away,
glad people make you feel unsafe...

There's a place where all is sound,
where you know you won't be found,
where the sun and the moon never shine
and it's easy to hide in the dark...

This is a good thread idea I think. And some good songs mentioned too :)

As for me, there is only one answer. Peep-hole!

When your stars are baked,
And your rivers fly,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the...
Sky?

When your castle breaks,
And your feet are dry,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the...
Sky?!

Do you believe... when you're high...
That your life is tried...

DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
Don't ever get stuck in the sky... when you're high...

When your moon is fake,
And your mermaids cry,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the...
Sky?

When your tunnel fades,
And your guide is shy,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the...
Sky?!

Do you believe... when you're high...
That your life, IS TRIED?!!

DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high,
DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-high!

DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
(repeat 6 times or so)
Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high.......
-'Peephole', System of a Down

It inspired a picture. I bet you cant guess which one...  :p

I am not sure why, but this song always pulls me out of the dumps. it is almost 27 minutes long, but danged if it is not worth the download time. this is something that even you might like Serge. :)

I never wanted to become someone like him so secure
Content to live each day just like the last
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I'd
Never be someone like him

So many years have passed
Since I proclaimed
My independence
My mission
My aim
And my vision
So secure
Content to live each day like it's my last
It's wonderful to know
That I could be
Something more than I dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I swear that I'm
Missing out this time

As far as I could tell
There's nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything
Then all I swore
That I would never be was now
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him

II. MEDICATE (Awakening)

Lyrics: James LaBrie

A Doctor sitting next to me
He asks me how I feel
Not sure I understand his questioning
He says I've been away a while
But thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep

For 30 years
Where have I been
Eyes open
But not getting through to me

Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away

Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening

A higher dosage he prescribes
But there's no guarantee
I feel it starting to take over me
I tell him not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot
A brief awakening

I feel the relapse
Can't break free
Eyes open
But not getting through to me

III. FULL CIRCLE

Lyrics: Mike Portnoy

sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready
jack the ripper owens wilson phillips and my supper's ready
lucy in the sky with diamond dave's not here I come to save the
day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home again

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound

Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle

flying off the handle with careful with
that axe eugene gene the dance machine
messiah light my fire gabba gabba
hey hey my my generation's home again

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound

Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle

IV. INTERVALS

Lyrics: Mike Portnoy

Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles from our path

Asking questions
Search for clues
The answer's been right in front of you

Try to break through
Long to connect
Fall on deaf ears and fails muted breath

Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
Carries love through each darkest fire

Tortured Insanity
A smothering hell
Try to escape but no avail

The calls of admirers
Who claim they adore
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more

Innocent victims of merciless crimes
Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs

Step after step
We try controlling our fate
When we finally start living it has become too late

Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium

V. RAZOR'S EDGE

Lyrics: John Petrucci

We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge

A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began

Yay for Dream Theater!   :)

thank God that someone else knows who they are. :) this makes me even more happy.  :D


Edit: this song's ending has also really inspired me to continue in my writing. i am working on the ending to it right now, heh unfortunatly the middle is nowhere near done :D

This is the song I was originaly going to put in my LF illustrations, but realized each verse was pretty long. IMO, it perfectly describes the fic, and maybe even Lisa herself.

"Concrete Angel"

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen and lace

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
Concrete angel...

Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Speedcity Megamix

I found the love but it didn't last
Wonderful days belong to the past
I don't know where I stand, what I'm to do
Tried to forget and to find someone new
So I prayed on my knees to the heaven above
Send me somebody please, someone to love
To continue my story give me your hand
Don't let me down with a heart to be damned

So if you see the stars tonight, than tell me what they say
And let me know how bright they are, and I will always pray
That one day you´ll come down to me, to tell me from above
My angel from the universe, the one I always love

Come show me your hardcore feelings with your raving meanings
Cause I don´t know the way to groove
And I´ve never learned to dance this fast
And I don´t know the way to move
When the beats kicking hard and the beats kicking low
Okay, I think that it´s unique
But I rather like to dance with you like we did cheek to cheek

In my hands I hold your smile
And in my heart it runs so wild
You are the one you are unique
I’m so in love you make me weak
And the reason that I feel is like a shadow from a light
So if you have the chance to be with me, be my shadow in the night

In my hands I hold your smile
And in my heart it runs so wild
I want you near me night and day
And I will love you all the way
And the reason that I feel is like a shadow from a light
So if you have the chance to be with me, be my shadow in the night

Is it just me, or has this turned into a "Who can post the saddest song thread"? Well, to bring it out of that, here's Green Day's "American Idiot" song. [IMO, an awesome song.]

Don't want to be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new mania.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind$%#@ America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the %$&#@! America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

The song I posted isn't a sad one tunewise, although you wouldn't say that if you've only read the lyrics :p

I was talking about the thread in general.

Hmmm, then maybe I can post some more "cheerfull" song lyrics, something related around Sunshine, lollypops and rainbo- *is shot*
... Okay, I'm not that bad :P Infact what I mostly listen to is quite depressing, However, to balance this thread out, I will post some The Lion King lyrics instead of The Offspring, etc :D Circle of life ( Elton Johns version):

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
 
Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
 
(Chorus)
In the Circle of Life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life
 
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
 
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps the great and small on the endless round
 
(Chorus repeats)
 
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life.

Reason I post this is 'cos it's a pretty song :)
and is quite different to alot of the stuff on my mp3player/computer

Well A.P. the lyrics that I posted were also not sad. Octavarium is 22 minutes long and it switches tempo every few minutes and the end is all instrumental that is really intense. Trust me and find a way to get a copy of this song. You will probably be hooked on the band instantly. :)

This is my last post in this thread. Even though I know hundreds of songs with (in my opinion) some great lyrics.

This is by far my favurate peicing of lyrics. Written by Corey Taylor for Stone Sour, its about George W. Bush.

Can you take away
Every single day
That we have given to another false prophet?

Can you give us all
A reason not to fall
Before you take away another broken promise?

Show your pretty face,
Hide the bitter taste,
You're still a rapist of an entire nation.

You wanna be the man?
You gotta be a man.
But you are nothing but a sad insinuation.

How can we ever live this down?
How can we ever live this down?

Keep your fingers crossed,
The truth is all but lost.
Big decision for an ordinary coward.

The only problem is
You're f*cking rhetoric.
We're more in danger than before you took power.

Now it's just a game,
God, you'll never change.
You'll sell us out if you can only find a buyer.

You don't give a shit,
As long as idiots
Are in your corner, you can set us all on fire.

How can we ever live this down?
How can we ever live this down?

You never wanted to be,
They only wanted parody.
You want the world to be free.
What the hell is free about it?

Now we've reached the end,
Just get it over with.
But this is building to an adament conclusion.

Come what(ever) may,
There's going to be a day,
When we have figured out a possible solution.

Everything you've done
Is killing everyone.
A little smile on a homicidal b*stard.

You wanna be the man?
You gotta have a plan.
Another failure is a guaranteed disaster.

How can we ever live this down?
How can we ever live this down?

You never wanted to be,
They only wanted a parody.
You want the world to be free.

You only wanted the world,
You never wanted to be.
They only wanted a parody.
You want the world to be free.
What the f*ck is free about it?
-'Come What(ever) May' Stone Sour

(Sorry for the bad language Lisa...  :red:*

The only depressing song I know is Learn to be Lonely from the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. :D

Well, not sure about others, but if you tend to listen to heavy music, be prepared for sad/depressive/angsty lyrics. It's not easy to combine cheerful words with such king of music. ;) To smoothen things a bit, here is a song called "Alive" by P.O.D. The whole "Satellite" album is more... popular than heavy, but I liked it. And the "Alive" song caught me because it explains my feelings towards :lisa: better than anything I've heard so far.
Like Homer said once, "I wish I knew what to say... although maybe this music will help?" :)

Everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for
Every breath I take
I won't take you for granted
So I learn from my mistakes

It's beyond my control
Sometimes it's best to let go
Whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love
You have given me peace of mind

I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly

Sunshine upon my face
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world
How I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything

Now that I know this
So beyond, I can't hold this
I can never turn my back away
Now that I've seen you
I can never look away

I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly

I was looking around for lyrics on the net, and came across this. I think this describes Lisa well. It's pretty short, however.


This is a call to the color-blind
This is an IOU
I'm stranded behind a horizon line
Tried to be something true

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fears to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be something much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Why is it not the time?
What is there more to learn?
I've shed this skin that I've been chipping at
And I've never quite returned

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fears to dry

I've held of on posting these particular ones, as they make me seem more obsessive than I like to think myself. But on occasions in the past when I've been up to god knows what time with some piece of fanart, agonising over the fact I can't get quite the right tone for the shadows on her dress, they've seemed bitterly appropriate. The song title is even the right colour  :p

Vermillion Pt. 2

she seems dressed in all of me, stretched across my shape
all the torment and the pain, leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself, just to have her for myself
now i don't know what to do, don't know what to do
when she makes me sad

she is everything to me, the unrequited dream
a song that no-one sings, the unattainable
she's a myth that I have to believe in, all i need to make it real is one more reason
i don't know what to do, don't know what to do
when she makes me sad

but i won't let this build up inside of me
catch in my throat, choke, torn into pieces I won't, no
I don't want to be this
but i won't let this build up inside of me

she isn't real
I can't make her real

Forgive the bump, I really don't know how long threads have to be dead for, but I have done the deed anyway. Here is my song. I heard it back when i was young, and it represents my life to a "T". I give you "HE" by "Jars of Clay".

Dont try to reach me, Im already dead
The pain when it grips me, for things that Ive done

Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
Just give me a chance to hide away
Exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?

Chorus:

Fearful tears are running down
The pain youve laid dont speak a sound
Dont take my heart away from me
And they think I fell down

Daddy, dont you love me?
Then why do you hit me?
And momma dont you love me
Then why do you hurt me?
Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
Just give me a chance to hide away
Exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?

[chorus]

A teardrop falls from up in the heavens
Drowning the sorrow of angels on high
For the least of the helpless, the hopeless, the loveless
My jesus, his children, he holds in his eyes

He wants you, He needs you He holds you, He protects you. (Repeated 8x in overlapping vocals)


EDIT:  A.P. that song is called "Bigger than My Body" by "John Mayer." I showed that one to Daggy a while back saying that it described her more adventurous side. She wants to fly away but she is bound by her own body. I am actually using that song in my current story.

Thanks. Yeah, that's why I posted it. Here's another 2 Green Day songs: Holiday, and Boulevard of Broken Dreams. The first one, Holiday, I think it's saying what the world would be like if things get worse. The second one is what describes me, at least IMO. Not knowing whether I'm happy or sad, angry or calm, just some nonexistent thing in-between.

"Holiday"

Say, Hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Pain and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

(Hey!)

(Three Four!)

"The representative from California has the floor"

Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday!


"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's f****d up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

Here's another BD song, I think I might do some simpsons pictures with some lines of this in them, but here's the song:

A Hard Rain

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

I have one more that i just heard that makes me think of my story. I try to live it each day and it helps, but anyway, here is a song that makes me think about something that Zeke would sing to adult Maggie.

River Constantine-by Jars of Clay

Carry me, Your love is wider than my need could ever be
Come to me, and I will walk along Your shore
Feel Your crashing waves sing in time with the music of my heart

Pour out, come down on me
Pour out, come down on me

River deep, could I know You as well as You know me
Constantine, will we travel faster, farther than these
Legs could ever trustworthy be

Pour out, come down on me
Come down, pour out on me

Come down, pour out on me
Come down, pour out on me

Just wanted to post lyrics myself of 2 songs that have been stuck in my head all week :D
Both of these songs where introduced to me by two of my friends. They are very different but I still have a hard time not singing along to these :p

First is "Welcome to the Black parade" by My Chemical Romance introduced to me by a friend at school and I admit that the albums grown on me. It somewhat reminded me of Queen at first and I wasn't suprised to hear that the album was inspired by them as well as The Beatles and Pink Floyd ;) :

 When I was a young boy,
my Father took me into the city,
to see a marching band.

He said "Son when, you grow up, will you be, the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned."

He said "will you defeat them, your demons and all the non-believers, the plans they have made."

Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."


Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.
Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
When you're gone we want you all to know

We'll Carry on,
We'll Carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I cant contain it
The anthem wont explain it.

and we will send you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Lets shout it loud and clear
do you fight it to the end
we hear the call to
to carry on
we'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
we'll carry on
and though you're broken and defeated
you're wiery widow marches on
and on we carry through the fears
ooh oh ohhhh

dissapointed faces of your peers
ooh oh ohhhh
take a look at me cuz i could not care at all
do or die
you'll never make me
cos the world, will never take my heart
though you try, you'll never break me
we want it all, we wanna play this part
wont explain or say i'm sorry
im not ashamed, i'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
listen here, because it's only..
i'm just a man, i'm not a hero
just a boy, whos meant to sing this song
just a man, i'm not a hero
i, don't, care

carry on
we'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
you'll carry on
and though you're broken and defeated
you're wiery widow marches on
we'll carry on
we'll carry on


Then another song that I also find incredibly catchy but is in a totaly different style is "Chop Suey" by System of a Down. Casper introduced me to SOAD's stuff a while back. It took me a while to catch on though, like with most bands, but some of their songs really grew on me and I decided to browse music on the internet. I rememebred hearing Chop Suey on Kerrang ages ago and decided to look for it. Now I've found it,..I've lost count of how many times I've acturaly played this song  :D. Anyway, the lyrics are kinda,...deep and complex. Anyway, lyrics:

Wake up,
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup),
Grab a brush and put a little,
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup)
Hide the scars to fade away the,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable

You wanted to,
Grab a brush and put a little makeup,
You wanted to,
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup,
You wanted to,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table,
You wanted to,

I don't think you trust,
In, my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die, Die,

Wake up,
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup),
Grab a brush and put a little,
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup)
Hide the scars to fade away the,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable

You wanted to,
Grab a brush and put a little makeup,
You wanted to,
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup,
You wanted to,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table,
You wanted to,

I don't think you trust,
In, my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die
In my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die

Father, Father, Father, Father
Father, Into your hands, I, commend my spirit,
Father, into your hands,

Why have you forsaken me,
In your eyes forsaken me,
In your thoughts forsaken me,
In your heart forsaken, me oh,

Trust in my self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die,
In my self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die.

Bump,..another song stuck in my brain ( Sorry It's a depressive one, but It's one of The Offspring songs I feel like I can relate to at times, even if  it's a little over the top in depressiveness,..is that a word? :p)
Amazed - The Offspring:

Sometimes I think I’m gonna drown
Cause everyone around’s so hollow
I’m alone

Sometimes I think I’m going down
But no one makes a sound
They follow
And I’m alone

Yeah if I make it I’d be amazed
Just to find tomorrow
One more day and I’d be amazed
Just to see it waiting
And if I make it I’m still alone
No more hope for better days
But if I could change
Then I’d really be amazed

And when you know you can’t relate
To one more shiny face
Your heart breaks
No one cares

And when you know you can’t go on
Cause everything is wrong
Your heart breaks
But no one’s there

Yeah if I make it I’d be amazed
Just to find tomorrow
One more day and I’d be amazed
Just to see it waiting
And if I make it I’m still alone
No more hope for better days
But if I could change
Then I’d really be amazed

Ah the offspring, My older brother went to school with the Drummer of the band. They both went to pacifica High School, in Garden Grove California. Dont believe me? Then do some research about the band. :)

Really? That's so awsome :D

This song describes me well... :p heh, just kidding, but both the music and lyrics are great.
Everclear - Out Of My Depth

Out of my depth
Lost in the air
Falling faster
Like a broken elevator

Out of my depth
Lost in the dark
Waiting for that other shoe
To come down hard

I cannot communicate
Like I wish I could
I do not deal with my problems
Like I know I should

I am out of my depth
I am out of my league
Watching everything
Just slip away from me

Something bad is going to happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise

I am in over my head
I am in too deep here
Over my head
I guess I should keep my opinions to myself
I guess I am out of my depth

Out of my depth
Right from the start
I feel like I was born
With an invisible heart
Out of my depth
Seems like everyday
I can't find the words
To make the good things come my way

Yes, I feel like I am faking it
I feel like I am wrong
I feel like I'm a guest
Like I just do not belong

I am out of my depth
Every single day
I just cannot find the words
To make my monsters go away

Something bad is going to happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise

I am in too deep here
Over my head
Yes, I am in too deep here
Over my head
I should seek some professional help
Because I'm out of my depth
Yes, I am out of my depth
And I am slowly going out of my mind

Oh, go away
Make them go away
Someday I know
I will make them go away
Make them go away
Make them go away
Someday I know I will
Make my monsters go away

I am in over my head
I should seek some professional help
I should keep my opinions to myself
I guess I'm out of my depth
I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
I am out of my...uh, uh, WAHHHHH!!!

I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth

I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
Yes, I am slowly going out of my mind

Whoa... spooky song. Might have to go download buy that one ;)

I remember that one. It is a bit up beat but good. I have yet another Jars of clay entry. this one is called "waiting for my world to fall"

afraid it's been too long to find the reasons why
i let my world fall in around a smaller patch of fading sky
but now i've grown beyond the walls to where i've never been
and it's still winter in my wonderland
i'm waiting for the world to fall
i'm waiting for the scene to change
i'm waiting when the colors come
i'm waiting to let my world come undone
i close my eyes and try to see the world unbroken underneath
the farther off and already it might just make the life i lead
a little more than make-believe when all my skies are painted blue
and all the clouds don't ever change the shape of who i am to you
i'm waiting for the world to fall
i'm waiting for the scene to change
i'm waiting when the colors come
i'm waiting to let my world come undone
when i catch the light of falling stars my view is changing me
my view is changing me
i'm waiting
i'm waiting for the world to fall
i'm waiting for the scene to change
i'm waiting when the colors come
i'm waiting to let my world come undone

Here's a good song from a band called the Bodeans.

Going Home

They said good-bye to all their friends
And left their humble homes behind
They'd heard about a chance up north
Amidst the noise and dirt and fire
And on the way they prayed to God
"Have mercy send us down a light"
And when the babies cried they told them close
"My son, everything is alright"


One walked his way around the town
The other took the name of Rose
They both never had much wealth
But each one knew how a flower grows
And they spoke a language in new ways
And raised their familes true to heart
Their blood runs through my veins so deep
I know they could never tear us apart

Yeah, they broke their backs just trying to stake a place
That they could call their own
And as we lay them down to sleep
I know in my heart that they're going home

It took me about a month to find the title and artist of this song, so I might as well share it with you :p

Bodyrox featuring Luciana - Yeah Yeah

You think you got it all worked out
But you dont know nothing, nothing, nothing
You think that you could rub me out
But I'm made of something, something, something

I could teach you a thing or two
Yeah oh, yeah oh
I could teach you a thing or two
Yeah oh, yeah oh
I could teach you a thing or two
Yeah oh, yeah oh
I could teach you a thing or two

Raw dirty hot track
Push it in and pull it back
Am I glamour pussing it
See if you can top that
Come into the new way
Bodyrox a new way
More then just a new craze
I'll show you who's rock 'n roll

I could teach you a thing or two
Yeah oh, yeah oh
I could teach you a thing or two
Yeah oh, yeah oh
I could teach you a thing or two
Yeah oh, yeah oh

Yeah oh, yeah oh

I can't believe I haven't posted in this thread yet, it's probably the risk that once I start I won't be able to stop!    :gigi:
Anyway, these are the lyrics from a beautiful song by Crowded House (written by Neil and Tim Finn), from their Woodface album.   Fairly dark but with maybe a hint of hope...

How Will You Go
Escape is on your mind again
Escape to a far away land
At times it seems there is no end
To long hard nights of drinking

How will you go
How will you go
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

I fell over on the couch again
But you know not all sleep is wasted
Your dreams are alcohol inspired
You can't find a better way to face it

How will you go
How will you go
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

And you know I'll be fine
Just don't ask me how it's going
Gimme time, gimme time
Cos I want you to see
Round the world round the world
Is a tangled up necklace of pearls

How will you go
How will you go
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

Suusje
LOL, beautiful song :p

/me imagines Opeth singing it, with their heavy music and growling
/me has great mood for the rest of the day

janglewolf
Nice lyrics... especially the "tangled up necklace of pearls" moment :) I guess I should find and download this one...

I remember your response when I showed you the song "Concrete Angel". :D

A special one for all of those Lisa Fanatics out there. "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder

Honey why are you calling me so late
It’s kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why are you crying is everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can’t be too loud
Well, my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It’s really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It’s funny that you’re calling me tonight
And yes I’ve dreamt of you too
And does he know you’re talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don’t think she has a clue
Well my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It’s really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those wordsa it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It’s really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
(And I never wanna say goodbye)
But girl you make it so hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why are you calling me so late

Yet another BD song, this one's a bit less fatalistic.


Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
I was layin' in bed
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red.
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
And I was standin' on the side of the road
Rain fallin' on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
Tangled up in blue.

She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
But I used a little too much force.
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out West
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best.
She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin' away
I heard her say over my shoulder,
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue,"
Tangled up in blue.

I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the ax just fell.
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I happened to be employed
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
Right outside of Delacroix.
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind,
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
Tangled up in blue.

She was workin' in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer,
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear.
And later on as the crowd thinned out
I's just about to do the same,
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
She studied the lines on my face.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
Tangled up in blue.

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
"You look like the silent type."
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.

I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs,
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air.
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died.
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside.
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn,
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
Tangled up in blue.

So now I'm goin' back again,
I got to get to her somehow.
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives.
Don't know how it all got started,
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.

Sorry for the DP, but here's a good greenday song you can stream from Kyle's site.

Name: Whatsername
Artist: Green Day

http://www.krustylustudios.com/tsw/sounds/Whatshername

Here's the lyrics:

Green Day - Whatsername Lyrics
Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face
But I cant recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been

Seems that she disappeared with out a trace
Did she ever marry old what's his face?
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face
But I cant recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been

Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
I must confess
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
From so long ago

(Go, Go, Go, Go..)

And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time

Forgetting you, but not the time 

Yup. You guys need any songs to stream? PM me, I'll upload them when I'm next on.  :)

If you're looking for a good song, I reccomend Jimmy Buffet's "He Went to Paris".


He went to paris lookin' for answers
To questions that bothered him so
He was impressive, young and aggressive
Savin the world on his own

But the warm summer breezes
The french wines and cheeses
Put his ambition at bay
The summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
And four or five years slipped away

Then he went to england, played the piano
And married an actress named kim
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
And bore him a young son named jim

And all of the answers and all of the questions
Locked in his attic one day
cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'
And twenty more years slipped away

Well the war took his lady, the bombs killed his baby
And left him with only one eye
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered
And all he could do was just cry

While the tears were a-fallin' he was recallin'
Answers he never found
So he hopped on a freighter, skipped across the ocean
And left england without a sound

Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's
And drinks his green label each day
Writing his memoirs, losin his hearin
But he dont care what most people say

Through eighty-six years of perpetual emotion
If he likes you he'll smile and he'll say
Jimmy, some of its magic, some of its tragic
But I had a good life all the way.

What genre?

Country Folk, I think. At least that's what the tune sounds like.

Anathema - Pulled Under 2000 Metres A Second

Freedom is only a hallucination
That waits at the edge of the distant horizon
And we are all strangers in a global illusion
Wanting and needing impossible heaven

Chasing the dream as they swim out to sea
The mirage ahead says that they can be free
Become lost in delusion drowning their reason
Swept on by the current of selfish ambition

Frightened ashamed and afraid of the blame
The questions are screaming the answers are hiding
The sickness is growing distracted condition
You can feel the disgust and smell the confusion

Lying insane getting soaked in the rain
Draining the sky of the guilt and the shame
The nightmare is coming the clouds are descending
Pulled under at two thousand metres a second

Clawing at walls that just slip through my fingers
Darkness consuming collapsing and breaking
Distilled paranoia seeped into the walls
And filled in the cracks with the whispering calls

Shadows are forming take heed of the warnings
Creeping around at four in the morning
Lie to myself start a brand new beginning
But I'm losing myself in this fear of living

Freedom is only a hallucination
That waits at the edge of the places you go when you dream
Deep in the reason betrayal of feeling
The mistakes that I made tore my conscience apart at the seems

Freedom is only a hallucination
That waits at the edge of the places you go when you dream...

Charming lyrics... I can only wonder how the whole song sounds.
And I don't have this album, argh! Well, maybe someone uploads it eventually... ;)

The name of the album is "A NAtural Disaster" and i think it's very great.
The song in particular is here (http://sr.simps.net.ru/pulledunder.mpthree), remember to rename it to the proper extension ;)

lol, why doesn't anybody comment about the lyrics I post? Anyway, here's "Wake me up when september ends" by Green Day.

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

SimpReal
Downloaded. Listened. Scared. Can't sleep. :eek:
Can you upload the rest of the album? Thanks in advance ;)

ametur_poet
Oh, most of the songs you're posting here are very interesting, too... :)

Well, AP, i guess the answer is that.... each lyric means something special to someone depending on the music. It's hard to make sense of some lyrics if they're disassociated from their music. Since i dont know most of the songs you posted, i don't know how they sound, i fail in creating a "mood" that carries the words, and so... i might like some sentences and the general idea of the text, but it doesn't hook me up in the way it hooks you up :)

But in this last case, with "Wake Me Up", i know and like the song pretty much (after all it has been a pop hit for weeks), and readign the lyrics give it a second reading key. A reason to listen more :)

For me, Lyrics are a vital part of sung music. If a song has uninspired, or clicheed, or teen-angst-emo lyrics, it loses half of its charm imo. That's why i love bands like Opeth, Katatonia, but more of all, Anathema, like the last one. They compose song, but they also compose poems. Such as:

Opeth - Isolation Years

There's a sense of longing in me
As I read Rosemary's letter
Her writing's honest
Can't forget the years she's lost

In isolation
She talks about her love
And as I read
"I'll die alone"
I know she was aching

There's a certain detail seen here
The pen must have slipped to the side
And left a stain
Next to his name
She knew he was gone

And isolation
Is all that would remain
"The wound in me is pouring out
To rest on a lover's shore"


/me sighs

I'm not sure if I posted this yet, but here's "Holy Water" by Big and Rich:


Somewhere there's a stolen halo
I use to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine wherever she would go
But looking at her now you'd never tell

Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get out of her head
I can only imagine what she's feeling
When she's praying
Kneeling at the edge of her bed

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She's looking through the faces
The unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she cries

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water

She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she's felt
She wants to feel the healing hands
Of someone who understands

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me
And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Like Holy water
Like Holy water
Like Holy water

I'm breaking my 'No Posting' mandate.

Fear Factory's 'A Thearapy for Pain' caught my lyric listening ear today. An amazing song experiance, so few lyrics for almost 10 minutes of guitar riff... Nice!

--
I welcome death with open arms
Her soft breath and simple charm
Wandering through memories
Takes my hand for me to see

Tried so hard... (x2)

Echoes of Innocence
Are my thoughts into dissent

Tried so hard... (x4)

When we finally reach the end
She lets go off my hand
Walking into realms of light
There will be no death tonight

Tried so hard... (x4)
--

I dont know who 'she' is but, kinda makes me think a particular blonde spikey hair halo wearing winged 8 year old.

I wonder who...  :lisa:

lol, that's why I posted the song "Holy Water" :) Here's the lyrics for what is one of Green Day's strangest songs; "Warning". I think it was written mainly for the purpose of irony.

This is a public service anouncement, this is only a test
Emergency evacuation process
May Impair your ability to operate machinery
Can't quite tell just what it means to me
Keep out of reach of children, don't you talk to strangers
Get your philoshophy from a bumper sticker

CHORUS:
Warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Without. Alright.

VERSE 2:
Mental homes and safety self communities.
Did you remember to the pay the utility?
Gosh Darn Police Line You Better Not Cross!
Is it the cop, or am I the one thats really dangerous?
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything.
Oh shut up and be a victim of authority

CHORUS:
Warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Without. Alright.

VERSE 3:
Mental homes and saftey shelf communities.
Did you remember to pay the pay the utility?
Gosh Darn Police Line You Better Not Cross!
Is it the cop, or am I the one that's really dangerous
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything.
Oh shut up and be a victim of authority

CHORUS:
Warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
This is a public service anouncement, this is only a test

I probably digging into it too much, but I agree... both songs fit Lisa well...
Nice lyrics there. (I mean replies #51 and #52) :)

Here is a song that has taken on a deep meaning for me.

LifeHouse----All in All

Standing on top of the edge it feels like it's going down
Everything stays in my mind feeling in a daze on the ground
Feels like it's gonna give life's to hard to live anymore
I think I've had enough things too tough
I'm out the door

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you

Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today

Things don't stop and the others announced they're moving on
Salt & tears in the minds in the mouths of a bad decision
Too late for another mistake it's bringing me down
With all your faults it isn't your fault
What's going on

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you

Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today

So you lost yourself
So you lost your way
Found life through someone else
But you threw it all away

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you

Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today

Times rolling on
Rolling on today
It's going on
Going on today

Every time I hear this song I think of Lisa. Don't ask me why, but after seeing such episodes as "She of Little Faith" and "Lisa the Skeptic" it just sort of clicked. Go figure.

In another life
I woke up dreaming with a sigh
As the morning light
Was painting whispers of a joy

And I was in the candlelit bedroom
Enchanting beauty shimmering magically
Like an iridescent cloud
Being blown by a westerly wind

She can move your soul without you knowing
She can take your breath away from heaven

And I was captured by her loneliness
A wounded tiger on a willowy path
Like an opalescent moon all alone
In the sky of a foreign land

She can take your breath away from heaven
She can move your soul without you knowing
She can take your breath away from heaven
She is like an everlasting blossom
She can take your breath away from heaven...

-George Harrison "Breath Away From Heaven" (Cloud Nine)
Lyrics by George Harrison

Wow, this last one is very good. I like especially
"
And I was captured by her loneliness
A wounded tiger on a willowy path
Like an opalescent moon all alone
In the sky of a foreign land
"

It does fit Lisa's character very well, especially in the episodes where she feels blue.  :(

That's exactly what I thought!

Wow, I feel like I really connect with people on this forum.

When I heard this song by chance I have been simply struck... Very touching and gentle song... filled with an easy grief. :) And what the accompaniment on the piano...and the voice of course.

Nina Simone

Little girl blue

  Sit there and count your fingers
  What can you do
  Old girl you're through
  Sit there, count your little fingers
  Unhappy little girl blue.

  Sit there and count the raindrops
  Falling on you
  It's time you knew
  All you can ever count on
  Are the raindrops
  That fall on little girl blue

  Won't you just sit there
  Count the little raindrops
  Falling on you
  'Cause it's time you knew
  All you can ever count on
  Are the raindrops
  That fall on little girl blue

  No use old girl
  You might as well surrender
  'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender
  Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
  To cheer up little girl blue

http://youtube.com/watch?v=N1DfPUQKeSs Here's another great song by George Harrison, "Cloud Nine".

Have my love
It fits you like a glove
Join my dream, tell me yes
Bail out should there be a mess
The pieces you don't need are mine

Take my time
I'll show you cloud nine
Take my smile and my heart
The pieces to omit are mine

Have my love
Use it while it does you good
Share my highs but the times
That it hurts pay no mind
The pieces you don't need are mine
I'll see you there on cloud nine

Take my hope
Maybe even share a joke
If there's good to be shown
You may make it all your own
And if you want to quit that's fine
While you're out looking for cloud nine

And another one, written by Harrison.

I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping, while my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping, still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you, how to unfold you love
I don't know how someone controlled you, they bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning, while my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning, still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted, you were perverted too, I don't know how you were
inverted, no one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping, while my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all... still my guitar gently weeps

Edit: Okay, YouTube deleted every video of the Petty/Lynne/Prince one that I could find, so here's one with George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Jeff Lynne and Phil Collins. http://youtube.com/watch?v=0ITrQXES8kU

This song is very touching, as it can be interpreted in many ways. Clapton wrote it for his son, Connor, who (in 1991) fell off of a very high apartment balcony and did not survive.

"Circus" -by Eric Clapton (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wISgh2fsdxs&mode=related&search=)
Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright
In his hands are the toys you gave
To fill his heart with delight

And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life

And its sad, so sad,
There ain't no easy way round
And its sad, so sad,
All you friends gather round
Cause the circus left town

Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
To the end of the line
Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night
And when I smile, I'll be thinking of you
And every little thing will be all right

And its sad, so sad,
There ain't no easy way round
And its sad, so sad,
All you friends gather round
Cause the circus left town

And its sad, so sad,
There ain't no easy way round
And its sad, so sad,
All you friends gather round
Cause the circus left town


The circus left town, left town
The circus left town, left town

"Macy's Day Parade" by Green Day. This matches Graham's COD fic to an eerie extent.

"Macy's Day Parade"

Today's the Macy's Day Parade
the night of the living dead is on its way
with a credit report for duty call
it's a lifetime guarantee
stuffed in a coffin 10% more free
Red light special at the mausoleum

Give me something that I need
satisfaction guaranteed to you
what's the consolation prize?
economy sized shattered dreams of hope

When I was a kid I thought
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
Oh, but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
A lesson learned to me and you

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope
the one I've never known
cause now I know
it's all that I wanted

What's the consolation prize?
economy sized shattered dreams of hope
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope
the one I've never known
and where it goes
and I'm thinking about the only road
the one I've never known
and where it goes
and I'm thinking about a brand new hope
the one I've never known
cause now I know
it's all that I wanted.

This is another great song that makes me think of Lisa, it reminds me of when I first became attached to her. I don't know how or why it happened, but it did. She helped me to live my life a little better, and the lines in this song "I need you now to be beside me, while all my world is so untidy/sad and crazy" pretty much describe my need for her at that time. And now it seems like I'm a better man than I was before. You could say, that it stopped me heading someplace else.

You got into my life
I don't know how you found me, but you did
It stopped me heading someplace else

Took me a while to say
Wish you belong to me
But now I'm saddened like I've never been
Regretting that we'll leave

And for a while you could comfort me
And hold me for some time
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy

Loneliness...
Empty faces...
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else...

Someplace else...

I hope you won't let go
Maybe you'll let me know
That you'll be saddened like you've never been
Regretting that we'll leave

And for a while I could comfort you
And hold you in my mind
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is sad and crazy

Loneliness...
Empty faces...
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else...

And for a while you could comfort me
And hold me for some time
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy

Loneliness...
Empty faces...
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else

Loneliness...
Empty faces...
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else...

Someplace else...

I think I'm gonna leave them all
In someplace else...

George Harrison - "Someplace Else"
Written by George Harrison

Here's what is definitely Green Day's most frightening, chilling, and disturbing song, "Misery".


Virginia was a hooker from F.L.A.
She had a compound fracture in the trunk
It started when she ran away
Thumbs out out on the interstate
She hitched a ride to misery

Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
He fell into the city by the bay
He liquidated his estate
Now he sleeps on the interstate
Panhandling his misery

He's gonna get high, high, high,
When he's low, low, low,
The fire burns from better days
And she screems why, why, why,
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymnes from yesterday
Of misery

Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in tinseltown
They found him in a cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat,
in the name of misery

Frankie hit the road to New York City
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
He stopped in Vegas to elope
With Virgina and the dope
And kissed the bride in misery

And they're gonna get high, high, high
When they're low, low, low
The fire burns from better days
And he screems why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymnes from yesterday
Of misery

Hell hounds on your trail now once again..boy
It's gnawin' on your leg until it sleeps
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
Cause' it's not what yu make, it's what you leave

And we're gonna get high, high, high
When I'm low, low, low
The fire burns from better days
And she screems why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymnes from yesterday
Of misery...
Of misery...

You sure like Green Day :D

And now for something completly different  :gigi:

One of my fav songs ever  :cool:
Linkin Park - In The End


It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

(Chorus:)
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I

Chorus

I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know

Chorus (x2)

Here's "Old Love" by Eric Clapton. http://youtube.com/watch?v=-axOgiuo8Ec

I can feel your body
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head

And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
When will I ever learn?

Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home

I can see your face
But I know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel

And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that I'll never learn

Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home...

Written by Eric Clapton and Robert Cray

"Dead Man, Dead Man" by Bob Dylan. It's a pretty sad song, but I like the lyrics.

Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind,
Clinging to strange promises, dying on the vine,
Never bein' able to separate the good from the bad,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
It's makin' me feel so sad.

Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.

Satan got you by the heel, there's a bird's nest in your hair.
Do you have any faith at all? Do you have any love to share?
The way that you hold your head, cursin' God with every move,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
What are you tryin' to prove?

Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.

The glamour and the bright lights and the politics of sin,
The ghetto that you build for me is the one you end up in,
The race of the engine that overrules your heart,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
Pretending that you're so smart.

Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.

What are you tryin' to overpower me with, the doctrine or the gun?
My back is already to the wall, where can I run?
The tuxedo that you're wearin', the flower in your lapel,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
You wanna take me down to hell.

Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.

This is one of my favorite songs by Eric Clapton. The lyrics really mean a lot to me. http://youtube.com/watch?v=JiVa2-ZVVV0

How do I choose, and where do I draw the line
Between truth and necessary pain
And how do I know and where do I get my belief
That things will be all right again

What words do I use, to try and explain
To those who've witnessed all my tears
And what does it mean to know all these things
When love's been wasted all these years,
When love's been wasted all these years...

Standing in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand,
Removed from all the people
Who could never understand

I was a pilgrim for your love
A pilgrim for your love
I was a pilgrim for your love
A pilgrim for your love

It's like living in a nightmare,
Like looking in the blackest hole,
Like standing on the edge of nothing,
Completely out of control

Now where have I been all these years
And how come I just couldn't see?
Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness,
I was a pilgrim for your love
I was a pilgrim for your love...

Standing in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand,
Removed from all the people
Who could never understand

Standing in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand,
Removed from all the people
Who could never understand...

I was a pilgrim for your love
A pilgrim for your love...
I was a pilgrim for your love
A pilgrim for your love...

Here's Love Like Winter by AFI ( A. F.ire I.nside )

Warn your warmth to turn away,
Here it's december,
Everyday. [echo:] I'm with you

Press your lips to the sculptures,
And surely you'll stay. [distance:] love like winter

For of sugar and ice,
I am made. I am made

It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.

She exhales vanilla lace,
I barely dreamt her, yesterday. [echo:] yesterday
Read the lines in the mirror through,
The lipstick trace.
Por siempre

She said "It seems you're somewhere, far away" to his face.

It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love,
I taste of blood.
She bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.

Love Like Winter.

Love Like Winter.

Winter.
Three, four

It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
From years before.

GeorgeHarrison
I really do like the "Old Love" lyrics, especially the extract:
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel

And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn

There's something in this lines causing very familiar feelings in me :) Nice song!
And the previous one, which Clapton dedicated to his son - really very touching. That's a terrible trial - to go through the death of own son. The father's hopeless anguish is heard in the words:
Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright....

This is an awesome song by Gerry Rafferty, "Baker Street".
(The sax solo in this song was played by Lisa at the end of the episode "Lisa's Sax")

http://youtube.com/watch?v=EgbGaYTkkPU

Windin' your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold.
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taking you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it had everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin'
You're tryin' now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
But you're cryin'
You're cryin' now

Way down the street there's a lad in his place
He opens the door he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything

He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down there's a quiet little town
And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin
Cus he's rollin'
He's the rollin' stone

And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin' it's a new morning
You're goin'
You're goin' home

That solo has always reminded me of Lisa, gives me goose-pimples everytime I hear it  :D

Agreed. The guitar solo along with the sax solo from 3:20 to 4:02 give me chills. :)

The sax solos in this song always make me think about Adult lisa playing the sax.


2. Another Day



Live another day
Climb a little higher
Find another reason to stay
Ashes in your hands
Mercy in your eyes
If you're searching for a silent
sky...

You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So die another day

The coldness of this words
The message in his silence,
Face the candle to the
wind...
This distance in my voice
Isn't leaving you a choice
So if you're looking for a time
to run away...

You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So try another day

They took pictures of our
dreams
Ran to hide behind the stairs
And said maybe when it's right
for you, they'll fall
But if they don't come down
Resist the need to pull them in
And throw them away
Better to save the mystery
Than surrender to the secret

You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So try another day

Here's "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd, performed live. The lighting in this show is absolutely mind-blowing. An amazing song and an amazing show.

Edit: New link, YouTube deleted previous video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=JWnapx502uQ

Hello, hello, hello...
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again

Relax, relax, relax...
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become... comfortably numb

Okay, okay, okay...
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more-- aaaaaaaaahhhh...
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?! (stand up, stand up)
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone
I have become... comfortably numb...

IF you want "Good" when it comes to Pink Floyd (in my mind) look to the album "Delicate sound of thunder." it is the live version of their songs, Like both "the wall" and "Pulse." On DSOT Go to "Us and Them" and "Wish you were here." both of these songs have a very good Sax in the background and they are just very good overall

I'll have to check that out. Most bands I prefer the studio version, but I have the studio version of "Comfortably Numb" and overall I think the live one is better.

This is a great song by John Lennon, called "Woman". Every time I hear it I think of Lisa (once again), and how much I love and need her. http://youtube.com/watch?v=A3deToKl_Dg&mode=related&search=

Woman, I can hardly express
My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness
After all I'm forever in your debt
And woman, I will try express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success
oooh... well well
oooh... well well

Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman, hold me close to your heart
However distant they'll keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars
oooh... well well
oooh... well well

Woman, please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again
I love you... yeah, yeah... now and forever
I love you... yeah, yeah... now and forever
I love you... yeah, yeah... now and forever
I love you... yeah, yeah....

this one is the latest one to hit my fancy for my story. I have had this CD for almost 8 years and this song just suddenly hit me.
I give you: Vertical Horizon

We are

We are [Repeat] Take a listen through the window
Take a lover on the radio
Ask her if she's got an answer
Do you know... Time enough to get a good one
Though they never seem to get done
I am standing for a reason
Do you know...

'Cause I don't know how
I don't know where
We are...
We are...
And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are...
We are... Seven days and not a return
Seven lives and not a thing learned
Take a lover on the highway
Do you know... 'Cause I am sleeping on a time bomb
And I am waiting for the light to come
You and I could get away now
Do you know... 'Cause I don't know how
I don't know where
We are...
We are...
And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are...
We are... I get up sometimes
Like somebody else
Am I just wasting time
For somebody else Take a listen through the window
Another lover on the radio
Ask her if she's got an answer
Do you know 'Cause I don't know how
I don't know where
We are...
We are...
And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are...
We are... And, I don't know how
I don't know where...
We are... I don't know why
I don't know if, if, if, if...
We are...
We are... We are

Another great song by Bob Dylan, "Things Have Changed". This man has written so much music it's not even funny!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=G0e4saINO_s
   
A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the Bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand

Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed...

If I wrote a song for Lisa, this would be it.

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but, boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue (they're blue ;))
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world...

The last song is so sweet. :) I agree, this looks like a perfect dedication to Lisa... *sigh*

Must admit,...it's a beautiful song :love:

The song is great, Elton John is a very profound musicion.

... but I think Ewan Mcgregor (http://youtube.com/watch?v=K-xs42kcOus) sung it brilliantly :p

Two great songs by George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

"It Don't Come Easy" http://youtube.com/watch?v=eUbntU2N7xY
(This song was featured in the Simpsons episode "Brush With Greatness" which Ringo guest-starred in)

It don't come easy
You know it don't come easy

It don't come easy
You know it don't come easy

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Forget about the past and all your sorrows
The future won't last
It will soon be over tomorrow

I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it just ain't easy

Open up your heart, let's come together
Use a little love
And we will make it work out better

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Please remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach
If you're big enough to take it

I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy
(Written by George Harrison)

"This is Love" http://youtube.com/watch?v=9t55vISn4Ak

Precious words drift away from their meaning
And the sun melts the chill from our lives
Helping us all to remember what we came here for
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love

Little things that will change you forever
May appear from way out of the blue
Making fools of everybody who don't understand
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love

This is love, this is love
This is love, this is la la la-la love

Since our problems have been our own creation
They also can be overcome
When we use the power provided free to everyone
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love

This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
Oh, this is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love...
(Written by George Harrison)

I just finished reading FLWS, and while I read the part where Lisa was being taken to the hospital, and her last moments of consciousness, this song seemed like appropriate filler music. The lyrics and the tune seem so apart from this world, and the sax from 5:22 to 6:17 seems to be saying "Goodbye..."

Pink Floyd - Us and Them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlY-JlE5ZCo

Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
Moved from side to side

Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round... and round

Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside...

Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without...
And who'll deny it's what the fightings all about

Out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died...

again another masterpiece of Floyd. I love the live version of this song. It always reminds me of Lisa. I always imagine her playing the Sax for this song.

This song by George Harrison is quite different. At the time he wrote it, 1967, he was deeply involved and fascinated with Indian spi
