Placebo's lyrics for '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.
No, I don't like you anymore
You lying, trying waste of space...'

The lyrics in 'Creep'

'When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so ****ing special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so ****ing special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here'

Placebo 'Every you, every me'

'Sucker love is heaven sent.
You pucker up, our passion's spent.
My hearts a tart, your body's rent.
My body's broken, yours is bent.

Carve your name into my arm.
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed.
Cuz there's nothing else to do,
Every me and every you...'

'In the shape of things to come.
Too much poison come undone.
Cuz there's nothing else to do,
Every me and every you.'

'Like the naked leads the blind.
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind.
Sucker love I always find,
Someone to bruise and leave behind.'


Jamelia's song 'thankyou'

For every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just wanna tell you this
You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank you

My head, near dead
Just the way you wanted it
My soul, stone cold
Cos I was under you're control
So young, so dumb
Knew just how to make me succumb
But I understand
To make yourself feel like a man'

You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold
You're such a joke to me, yeah'

Stacie Orrico's song 'More to life'

'I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let it go

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Trippin' out thinkin' there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... There's gotta be more

(Than wanting more)

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half-way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing'

and if i only could id make a deal with god.and get him to switch our places=kate bush running up that hill.

Tom Waits - Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis
This is the last verse of a song in which an ex gets in touch with Charley to reminisce about old times and tell him how well her life is going, except you know it's not

hey Charley
for chrissakes
do you want to know
the truth of it?
I don't have a husband
he don't play the trombone
and I need to borrow money
to pay this lawyer
and Charley, hey
I'll be eligible for parole
come valentines day.

Neko Case has some very poetic lyrics. This is from Middle Cyclone:

"It was so clear to me,
That it was almost invisible,
I lie across the path waiting,
Just for a chance to be
a spiderweb
trapped in your lashes,
For that, I would trade you my empire
for ashes."

This is from Furnace Room Lullaby:

"I twisted you over and under to take you,
The coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest,
I twisted you under and under to break you,
I just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest."

That last line is superb.

Dunno about favourite, but I like them.

"Changes" 2Pac

"It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said.
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead.
...

We gotta start makin' changes
Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of 2 distant strangers
And that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?

...

I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races

"Gold" Prince

There's an ocean of despair
There are people livin' there
They're unhappy each & everyday
But hell's not fashion so what are u try 2 say

...

There's a lady, 99 years old
If she led a good life, heaven takes her soul
Now that's a theory, but if u don't wanna know
Step a side and make way for those who want 2 go

"Early This Moring" Jay-Z

Never read the Koran or Islamic scriptures
Only Psalms I read was on the arms of my *****z

"The Makings of a Perfect B****" Nas

But homes is twisted, a home ain't a home without a misses

Inspectah Deck (Wu Tang Clan) Triumph

I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millenium
Killa B's sold fifty gold sixty platinum
Shacklin the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets queen B's ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performin live on your hottest block

Jedi Mind Tricks f/ R.A. the Rugged Man - Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story

[Verse 1-Vinnie Paz]
Yeah, I don't know why I'm over here, this job is evil
They sent me here to Vietnam to kill innocent people
My mother always said, "The president, he doesn't care"
He tryin' to leave the footprints of America here
They say we tryin' to stop Chinese expansion
But I ain't seen no Chinese since we landed
Sent my whole entire unit thinkin' we could win
Against the Viet Cong guerrillas there in Gia Dinh
I didn't sign up to kill women or any children
For every enemy soldier, we killin' six civilians
Yeah, and it ain't right to me
I ain't got enough of mother****in' fight in me
It frightens me, and I just wanna see my son and moms
But over here, they droppin' seven million tons of bombs
I spent my days dodgin' all these booby-traps and mines
And at night, prayin' to God that I get back alive
And I'm forced to sit back and wonder
Why I was a part of Operation Rolling Thunder
In a foxhole with nine months left here
Jungle like the ****in' harbinger of death here

[Interlude-Vinnie Paz (R.A. the Rugged Man)]
I don't wanna be here, I'm scared, I just wanna go home
(You ****in' kiddin' me? Don't be a pussy, don't you love your country?)
(I like being here, I'm ready)

[Verse 2-R.A. the Rugged Man]
True story
Call me Thorburn, John H., staff sergeant
Marksman, skill in killin', illin', I'm able and willin'
Kill a village elephant, rapin' and pillage a village
Illegitimate killers, US Military guerrillas
This ain't no real war, Vietnam shit
World War II, that's a war, this is just a military conflict
Soothin' drug abusin', Vietnamese women screwin'
Sex, gambling and boozin', all this shit is amusin'
Bitches and guns, this is every man's dream
I don't wanna go home where I'm just an ordinary human being
Special Op, Huey chopper gun ship run shit
Gook run when the minigun spit, won't miss
Kill shit, spit four-thousand bullets a minute
Vic the Charlie, hit trigger, hit it, I'm in it to win it
Get it, the lieutenant hinted, the villain, I been it
The killing, I did it, cripple, did it, pictures I painted is vivid, live it
A wizard with weapons, the secret mission, we 'bout to begin it
Government funded, behind enemy lines
Bullets is sprayin', it's heatin' up a hundred degrees
The enemies the North Vietnamese, bitch please
Ain't no sweat, I'm told, "Be at ease"
Until I see the pilot got hit, and we 'bout to hit some trees
Nail the road, it broke, crash land
American man in Cambodia, right in the enemy hand
Take a swig of the Whiskey to calm us
Them yellow men wearin' black pajamas, they wanna harm us
They all up on us, bang, bang, bullet hit my chest, feel no pain
To my left, the captain caught a bullet right in his brain
Body parts flyin', loss of limbs, explosions
Bad intentions, I see my best friend's intestines
Pray to the one above, it's raining, I'm covered in mud
I think I'm dyin', I feel dizzy, I'm losin' blood
I see my childhood, I'm back in the arms of my mother
I see my whole life, I see Christ, I see bright lights
I see Israelites, Muslims and Christians at peace, no fights
Black, Whites, Asians, people of all types
I must've died, then I woke up, surprised I'm alive
I'm in a hospital bed, they rescued me, I survived
I escaped the war, came back, but ain't escape Agent Orange
Two of my kids born handicapped
*******, quadriplegia, micro cephalic
Cerebral palsy, cortical blindness, name it, they had it
My son died, he ain't live, but I still try to think positive
'Cause in life, God take, God give

Ol' Dirty Bastard, Brooklyn Zoo (I was only gonna post one part of this but the whole thing is banging, RIP Ason Unique)

I'm the one-man army, Ason

Energy buildin, takin all types of medicines

While I be comin with teeth, bitin more shit
Enough to make ya break and shake ya ass
Cause I create, rhymes good as a Tasty Cake, mix
This style, I'm mastered in
Niggas catchin headaches, what? What? You need aspirin?
This type of pain, you couldn't even kill with Midol

In your face like a can of mace, baby
Is it burnin? Well **** it, now you're learnin
How, I don't even like your mother****in profile
Give me my ****in shit, CH-CH-BLAOW!
Not seen and heard, no one knows
You forget, niggaz be quiet as kept
Now you know nothin; before you knew a whole ****in lot
Your ass don't wanna get shot!
A lot of MC's came to my showdown
To watch me put your ****in ass lo-o-ow down
As you can go, below zero
Without a doubt I've never been tooken out
By a *****, who couldn't figure
Yo by a *****, who couldn't figure
Yo by a *****, who couldn't figure (Brooklyn Zoo)
How to pull a ****in gun trigger
I said, "Get the **** outta here!"
***** wanna get too close, to the utmost
But I got stacks that'll attack any wack host
Introducin, yo **** that *****'s name!
My hip-hop drops on your head like ra-a-ain
And when it rains it pours, cause my rhymes hardcore
That's why I give you more of the raw
Talent that I got will riz-ock the spot
MC's I'll be bur-r-rnin, bur-r-rnin hot
Whoa-hoa-hoa! Let me like slow up with the flow
If I move too quick, oh, you just won't know

So I take yo ass out quick

If you wanna step to my mother****in rep'

You got shot cause you knock knock knock
"Who's there?" Another mother****in hardrock
Slackin on your mackin 'cause raw's what you lack
You wanna react? Bring it on back...

Polyphonic Spree - When The Fool Becomes a King

Love the life you choose.
Keep yourself feeling brand new.
And love your strife with life.
Yeah, Everyone wants to know why.
And love your strife with youth.
Keep yourself feeling brand new.
And love you strife with god.
Yeah, everyone wants to know love…
Yeah, everyone wants to know love…
Love, love, love…

Songs, which you said, with this crucifix, yeah you're shaking it but you think to yourself everything will be fine.
And love, what they said, with this crucifix, yeah you're shaking it but you think to yourself everything will be fine.

(Hail to the sky.
Hail to the sky.
It's Time to watch a show.

Still a man.
It seems the time has gone away but all at once you knew your mission well.
You're civilized it seems soon to paralyze,
The thought became the mission of your life.
The best place is to find your home.
The coolest is to find your way.
The best place is to find your home in time til' when the fool becomes a king.

"Step right up and sound off again…the way to the new world has once begun.
We tried to find ourselves within the light which made demands that much longer.
We move much closer than they have before to strike our ways and go forth.
The time is now, we move once again.
We reach for dreams we've never known.”

(Stranger to the sun you’ve seen the light.
Your sixteen ways will blow your mind if you open up the sky.) x 4

You know the time is right when you reach the SUN.
SUN, and it makes me smile.
(SUN, Find your way and stick to light you'll move ahead put your life in your hands
And it makes me smile) x 2
(SUN, And it makes me smile ) x 3

SUN, And it makes me smile
on my way.

Werewolf - Cocorosie:

In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight

Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah i suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
Flowers in the water, but I'm just his daughter
Walking down an icy grave leading to my
Schizophrenic father. Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
Searching for my father's power

I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

He's a black magic wielder some say a witch
Wielded darkness when he was wilein' on his mom's
And born child and he was the bastard the that broke
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate
In the night fireworks electric bright
And now he's got his own two sons
Trys to hide his tears in a world of fun
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
Bring silent heartache July to June
Swoon over new young hot flame
Mourn the memories later
Laugh now alligator

In a dream my father came to me
And made me swear that I'd keep
What's sacred to me
And if i get the choice to live in his name
I'll pray my way through the rain
Singing oh happy day

I don't mean to close the door
But for the record my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul
You left me broke down begging for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged
He had your hands and my father's face
Another western vampire
Different time same place
I has dreams that brings me sadness
Rain much deeper than a river
Sorrow flow through me
Tiny waves of shivers
Corny movies make me reminisce
They break me down easy on this generic love shit
First kiss frog and princess

I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

Just love the imagery.

[Tim-T]

If only I could sing I'ld make an album of these songs. Such a variety. Magic keep them coming...........

Immortal Technique-The 4th Branch

The voice of racism preaching the Gospel is devilish
A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist
Forgetting God is not religion, but a spiritual bond
And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran
They bombed innocent people, trying to murder Saddam
When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
'Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish
The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ
You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white
Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy
Conservative political right wing, ideology
Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facing assassination
Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?
Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves
Corporate America, dancing offbeat to the rhythm
You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?
Human rights violations, we continue the saga
El Salvador and the Contras in Nicaragua
And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

Taken from 'Ugly' - The exies

We are dirt, we are alone
You know we're far from sober!
We are fake, we are afraid
You know it***8217;s far from over
We are dirt we are alone
You know we're far from sober!
Look closer, are you like me?
Are you ugly?

Turn a blind eye
Why do I deny?
Medicate me
So I die Happy
A strain of cancer
Chokes the answers
Are you like me?
A liar like me?

[Chorus]

I don***8217;t care, you don***8217;t care
I***8217;m bitter, you***8217;re angry.
You don***8217;t care, I don***8217;t care
You love you, just like me
I blame you, you blame me
I***8217;m bitter, you***8217;re angry.
You don***8217;t care, I don***8217;t care
You love you, like me

Are you Ugly? [X3]


Taken from 'Happy Ending'- by Mika

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

Elliott smith fond farewell

The litebrite's now black and white
Cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right
Pitch burning on a shining sheet
The only maker that you'd want to meet
The dying man in a living room
Whose shadow paces the floor
Who'll take you out in the open door
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
Fond farewell to a friend
He said really I just wanna dance
Good and evil matched perfect it's a great romance
I can deal with some physic pain
If it'll slow down my higher brain
Veins full of disappearing ink
Vomiting in the kitchen sink
Disconnecting from the missing link
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
Fond farewell to a friend
I see you're leaving me and taking up with the enemy
The cold comfort of the in between
A little less than a human being
A little less than a happy high
A little less than a suicide
The only things that you really tried
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
Fond farewell to a friend
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Changes

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

And still I see no changes. Can't a brother get a little peace?
There's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East.
Instead of war on poverty,
they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do.
But now I'm back with the facts givin' 'em back to you.
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp smack you up.
You gotta learn to hold ya own.
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone.
But tell the cops they can't touch this.
I don't trust this, when they try to rush I bust this.
That's the sound of my tool. You say it ain't cool, my mama didn't raise no fool.
And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped and I never get to lay back.
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the payback.
Some punk that I roughed up way back... comin' back after all these years.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. That's the way it is.

I like "10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2) from Tool. If I could write like this, well ... who knows. It's about the lead singer's mother who lived with the effects of a stroke for thirty years. Anyway:

We listen to the tales and romanticize how we follow the path of the hero; boast about the day when the rivers overrun, how we'll rise to the height of our halo. Listen to the tales as we all rationalize our way into the arms of the savior. Feigning all the trials and the tribulations - none of us have actually been there, not like you.

Ignorant siblings in the congregation gather around, spewing sympathy - spare me! None of them can even hold a candle up to you. Blinded by choice, these hypocrites won't see. But - enough about the collective Judas. Who could deny you were the one who illuminated your little piece of the divine? And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me, I'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way - your way home.

Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down without you to guide them all to Zion? What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun, other than tremble incessantly? High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground. You are the light and the way they'll only read about. I only pray heaven knows when to lift you out. Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough. You're going home.

You're the only one who can hold your head up high, shake your fist at the gates saying, "I've come home now! Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father, tell them their pillar of faith has ascended. It's time now! My time now! Give me my - give me my wings!"

You are the light, the way that they will only read about.

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance, burden of proof tossed upon the believers, you were my witness, my eyes, my evidence; Judith Marie, unconditional one.

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence. Difficult to see you in this light. Please forgive this bold suggestion, but: should you see your maker's face tonight, look him in the eye, look him in the eye and tell him: I never lived a lie, never took a life but surely saved one.

Hallelujah. It's time for you to bring me home.

[J Stabler]

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down.

Oasis- Half The World Away.

My lyrics are Blueprints to money making' as fat as the ass that honey shaking

[Between The Bars]

Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon, come Armageddon!
Come, Armageddon! Come!

Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard :
"How I Dearly Wish I Was Not Here"
In the seaside town
That they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come, nuclear bomb

Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
(And on your face)
(On your face)
(On your face)
(On your face)

Everyday is like Sunday
"Win yourself a cheap tray"
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey

Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
And covered with a perfect shell
Such a charming, beautiful exterior
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes
Perfect posture, but you're barely scraping by
But you're barely scraping by

This is one time, this is one time
That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone
Or anyone at all...or anyone at all
And the grave that you refuse to leave
The refuge that you've built to flee,
The places that you've come to fear the most,
Is the place that you have come to fear the most.

Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
And hidden in the public eye
Such a stellar monument to loneliness
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes
Perfect make-up, but you're barely scraping by
But you're barely scraping by...

Well this is one time, well this is one time
That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone
Or anyone at all...or anyone at all
And the grave that you refuse to leave
The refuge that you've built to flee,
The places that you've come to fear the most,
Is the place that you have come to fear the most.

And you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone
Or anyone at all..or anyone at all
And the grave that you refuse to leave
The refuge that you've built to flee,
The places that you've come to fear the most,
Is the place that you've come to fear the most,
Is the place that you have come to fear the most.

"These Are The Days Of Our Lives"

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy - we were young
The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know
The rest of my life's been - just a show.
Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true -
When I look and I find I still love you.
You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use sitting and thinkin' on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know
Better sit back and go - with the flow
Cos these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find - no change
Those were the days of our lives yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find, I still love you,
I still love you.

Basically any Shinedown song, they sing a lot about not being caught up in the mainstream and about 'outcasts' of society. My favourite band.

One example:

It***8217;s 8 A.M.
This hell I***8217;m in
Seems I***8217;ve crossed the line again
For being nothing more than who I am

So break my bones
And throw your stones
We all know that life ain***8217;t fair
But there is more of us
We***8217;re everywhere

We don***8217;t have to take this
Back against the wall
We don***8217;t have to take this
We can end it all

All you***8217;ll ever be
Is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke
While they hang another rope
So lonely
Push him to the dirt
***8216;Til the words don***8217;t hurt
Can you hear me?
No ones gonna cry
On the very day you die
You***8217;re a bully

Think it through
You can***8217;t undo
Whenever I see black and blue
I feel the past
I share the bruise

With everyone
Who***8217;s come and gone
My head is clear
My voice is strong
Now I***8217;m right here to right the wrong

We don***8217;t have to take this
Back against the wall
We don***8217;t have to take this
We can end it all

All you***8217;ll ever be
Is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke
While they hang another rope
So lonely
Push him to the dirt
***8216;Til the words don***8217;t hurt
Can you hear me?
No ones gonna cry
On the very day you die
You***8217;re a bully
