Peter Gabriel
DVD: "Growing Up Live" (a must have for all Gabriel fans)
Song: "Here comes the Flood"

When the night shows
The signals grow on radios
All the strange things
They come and go, as early warnings
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
Still waiting for the swollen easter tide
There’s no point in direction we cannot even choose a side.

I took the old track
The hollow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
They were getting older, sons and daughters
The jaded underworld was riding high
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
And as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was warm and soaked the crowd.

Lord, here comes the flood
We’ll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
In any still alive
It’ll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you’re running dry.

When the flood calls,
You have no home, you have no walls
In the thunder crash
You’re a thousand minds, within a flash
Don’t be afraid to cry at what you see
The actors gone, there’s only you and me
And if we break before the dawn, they’ll use up what we used to be.

Lord, here comes the flood
We’ll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again, the seas are silent
In any still alive
It’ll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you’re running dry.

... thanks for that buddy .. i aint heard that for many years.. brought a tear to my eye.. the Lamb lies Down.. - what an album..
Gamera said:
from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (my dad turned me on to these :D)
Broadway Melody Of 1974


Echoes of the Broadway Everglades,
With her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades:
Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand.
Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand.
Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing.
Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing.
Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food and the band plays 'In the Mood'
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, there's a smell of
peach blossom and bitter almonde.
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, he know in a scent,
you can bottle all you made.
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the majorettes
smoking Winston Cigarettes.
And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home
with needles; needles and pins.

Billy Bragg
Album: Don't try this at home
Song: Tank Park Salute

Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers
Leave the light on at the top of the stairs
Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky
A tree taps on the window pane
That feeling smothers me again
Daddy is it true that we all have to die

At the top of the stairs
Is darkness

I closed my eyes and when I looked
Your name was in the memorial book
and what had become of all the things we planned
I accepted the commiserations
Of all your friends and your relations
But there's some things I still don't understand

You were so tall
How could you fall?

Some photographs of a summer's day
A little boy's lifetime away
Is all I've left of everything we've done
Like a pale moon in a sunny sky
Death gazes down as I pass by
To remind me that I'm but my father's son

I offer up to you
This tribute
I offer up to you
This tank park salute

The Doobie Brothers
Album: Sibling Rivalry.
name of song: People gotta Love again.

Wake up everybody
Take a good look around
There's far too many reasons
For all the troubles goin' down
Jesus is watchin'
And the devil is alive
Buddha is cryin'
And Allah is mystified
Brothers killin' brothers
And our children in the streets
We gotta change the times
We gotta change the times

The world is watchin', look at the shape we're in
There ain't no doubt about it, people gotta love again

Down on every corner
We got children sellin' dope
Who's gonna send a message
And try to give 'em hope
Jesus is watchin'
And the devil is alive
Buddha is cryin'
And Allah is mystified
Brothers killin' brothers
And our children in the streets
We gotta change the times
We gotta change the times

The world is watchin', look at the shape we're in
There ain't no doubt about it, people gotta love again
Oh what a shame when they try to pretend
All my brothers and sisters, people gotta love again

Can't buy love with a paycheck
It means nothin' to a boy and girl
You need universal love of all mankind
To change what's wrong with the world

The world is watchin', look at the shape we're in
There ain't no doubt about it, people gotta love again
Oh what a shame when they try to pretend
All my brothers and sisters, people gotta love again

A Life Of Illusion

Sometimes, I can?t help but feeling that I?m
Living a life of illusion
And oh, why can?t we let it be
And see through the hole in this wall of confusion
I just can?t help but feeling I?m living a life of Illusion

Pow, right between the eyes
Oh how nature loves her little surprises
Wow, it all seems so logical now
It?s just one of her better disguises
And it comes with no warning, nature loves her little surprises
Continual crisis...

Hey, don?t you know it?s a waste of your day
Caught up in endless solutions
That have no meaning
Just another hunch, based upon jumping conclusions
Backed up against a wall of confusion...
Caught up in endless solutions...
Living a life of illusion

New Beginning
- Tracy Chapman


The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
It's time to start all over make a new beginning
There's too much pain too much suffering
Let's resolve to start all over make a new beginning
Now don't get me wrong I love life and living
But when you wake up and look around at everything that's going down
All wrong
You see we need to change it now this world with too few happy endings
We can resolve to start all over make a new beginning
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over

The world is broken into fragments and pieces
That once were joined together in a unified whole
But now too many stand alone - There's too much separation
We can resolve to come together in the new beginning



Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over

We can break the cycle - We can break the chain
We can start all over - In the new beginning
We can learn, we can teach
We can share the myths the dream the prayer
The notion that we can do better
Change our lives and paths
Create a new world and

Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over

The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
It's time to start all over, make a new beginning
There's too much fighting, too little understanding
It's time to stop and start all over
Make a new beginning

Start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over

We need to make new symbols
Make new signs
Make a new language
With these we'll define the world

And start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over ...

Tim Dog - Fuck Compton?? hahahahahhahaha

Oh shit mutherfuckas step to the rear and cheer
'Cause Tim Dog is here
Let's get down to the nitty gritty
And talk about a bullshit city
Talking about niggaz from Compton
They're no comp and they truly ain't stomping
Tim Dog a black man's task
I'm so bad I'll whip Superman's ass
All you suckers that rif on the West Coast
I'll dis and spray your ass like a roach
Ya think you're cool wit your curls and your shades
I'll roll thick and you'll be yelling raid
One hard brother that lives in New York
Where brothers are hard and we don't have to talk
Shut your mouth before we come out stomping
Hey, yo Eazy
Fuck Compton

(Why you dissing Eazy?)
'Cause the boy ain't shit
Chew him with tobacco, an' spit him in shit
I crush Ice Cube, I'm cool wit Ice T
But NWA ain't shit to me
Dre beating on Dee from Pump it Up
Step to the Dog and get fucked up
I'm simplistic, imperialistic, idealistic
And I'm kicking ballistics
Having that gang war
We want to know what you're fighting for
Fighting over colors?
All that gang shit is for dumb muthafuckas
But you go on thinking you're hard
Come to New York and we'll see who gets robbed
Take your jeri curls, take your black hats
Take your wack lyrics and your bullshit tracks
Now you're mad and you're thinking about stomping
Well I'm from the South Bronx
Fuck Compton

Tim Dog and I'm the best from the East
And all this Compton shit must cease
So keep your eyes on the prize and
Don't jeopardize my arrive 'cause that's not wise
You really think that you can rhyme
Well come and get some of this loaded tech-nine
Bo bo bo shots are cold gunning
And you'll really be a hundred miles and running
You wanna play go ride in a sleigh
I'm so large I fuck Michel le'
In the bathroom we was boning
You shoulda heard how the bitch was moaning
Do do do do dooo do do do do do do do
Shut the fuck up bitch, you can't sing
Ya sound like a kid playing on a swing (Fuck you)
I'm the man at hand to run the band
That's in command
You know who the fuck I am
Tim Dog, what's my muthafucking name
Tim Dog, that's my muthafucking game
So whether you think that I'm just a myth
That riff, the lift, the gift, the if, the fifth'
The shift, the spliff, that's in control, to hold
To fold, to bold and make an ache and take and fake
Wooh! and I'm still great

Fuck Compton

Cloud Nine
The Temptations

A-who, who, awho, who...

The childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty.
You see, I was born and raised in the slums of the city.
It was a one room shack we slept in, other children beside me.
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep.
It was a hard times, needed something to ease my troubled mind.

Ooo, listen.
My father didn't know the meaning of work.
He disrespected Mama and treated us like dirt.
I left home seekin' a job that I never did find.
Depressed and down-hearted, I took to Cloud 9.
I'm doing...(fine)
Up here. (On cloud nine)
Listen one more time.
I'm doing...(fine)
Up here. (On cloud nine)

Folks now they tell me.
They say, give yourself a chance and don't let life pass you by.
But the world around you is a rat race.
Where only the strong survive.
It's a dog-eat-dog world and that ain't no lie. (Ain't no lie)
Listen, it ain't even safe no more, to walk the streets at night.


I'm doing fine on Cloud 9.
Let me tell you about Cloud 9.

(Cloud 9) You can be what you wanna be.
(Cloud 9) You ain't got no responsibility.
(Cloud 9) Every man, every man is free.
(Cloud 9) You're a million miles from reality.

(Reality) I'm gonna sail (up, up) higher (up, up... up, up and away) Cloud 9.

I wanna say I love the life I live.
And I'm gonna live the life I love.
Up here on Cloud 9.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I'm riding high on Cloud 9.

You're as free as a bird in flight.
(Cloud 9) There's no diff'rence between day and night.
(Cloud 9) It's a world of love and harmony.
(Cloud 9) You're a million miles from reality.

(Reality) I'm gonna sail (up, up) higher (up, up... up, up and away) Cloud 9.

You can be what you wanna be.
(Cloud 9) You ain't got no responsibility.
(Cloud 9) Every man in his mind is free.
(Cloud 9) You're a million miles from reality.
(Cloud 9) You can be what you wanna be.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom...
I'm feeling fine on Cloud 9.

Band Name - Geto Boys
Album - We Can't Be Stopped
Song Name - Mind Playin Tricks On Me


Intro: Scarface

I sit alone in my four-cornered room
staring at candles
Oh that shit is on? Heh
Let me drop some shit like this here
Real smooth

Verse One: Scarface

At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn
Candle sticks in the dark, visions of bodies being burned
Four walls just staring at a nigga
I'm paranoid, sleeping with my finger on the trigger
My mother's always stressing I ain't living right
But I ain't going out without a fight
See, everytime my eyes close
I start sweating, and blood starts coming out my nose
It's somebody watchin' the Ak'
But I don't know who it is, so I'm watching my back
I can see him when I'm deep in the covers
When I awake I don't see the motherfucker
He owns a black hat like I own
A black suit and a cane like my own
Some might say "take a chill, B"
But fuck that shit, there's a nigga trying to kill me
I'm pumping in the clip when the wind blows
Every twenty seconds got me peeping out my window
Investigating the joint for traps
Checking my telephone for taps
I'm staring at the woman on the corner
It's fucked up when your mind is playing tricks on you

Verse Two: Willie D

I make big money, I drive big cars
Everybody know me, it's like I'm a movie star
But late at night, somethin ain't right
I feel I'm being tailed by the same sucker's head lights
Is it that fool that I ran off the block
Or is it that nigga last week that I shot
Or is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars
Thought he had 'caine but it was Gold Medal Flour
Reach under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers
Ain't no use to be lying, I was scareder than a motherfucker
But they're laughing at pow pies and buried that quick
If it's going down let's get this shit over with
Here they come, just like I figured
I got my hand on the motherfucking trigger
What I saw'll make your ass start giggling
Three black, crippled and crazy senior citizens
I live by the sword
I take my boys everywhere I go
Because I'm paranoid
I keep looking over my shoulder and peeping around corners
My mind is playing tricks on me

Verse Three: Scarface

Day by day it's more impossible to cope
I feel like I'm the one that's doing dope
Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous
Every Sunday morning I'm in service
Praying for forgiveness
And trying to find an exit out of the business
I know the Lord is looking at me
But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy
I often drift while I drive
Havin fatal thoughts of suicide
BANG and get it over with
And then I'm worry-free, but that's bullshit
I got a little boy to look after
And if I died then my child would be a bastard
I had a woman down with me
But to me it seemed like she was down to get me
She helped me out in this shit
But to me she was just another bitch
Now she's back with her mother
Now I'm realizing that I love her
Now I'm feeling lonely
My mind is playing tricks on me

Verse Four: Bushwick Bill

This year Halloween fell on a weekend
Me and Geto Boyz are trick-or-treating
Robbing little kids for bags
Till an old man got behind our ass
So we speeded up the pace
Took a look back and he was right before our face
We'd be in for a squab' no doubt
So I swung and hit the nigga in his mouth
He was going down, we figured
But this was no ordinary nigga
He stood about six or seven feet
Now, that's the nigga I'd been seeing in my sleep
So we triple-teamed on him
Dropping them motherfuckin B's on him
The more I swung the more blood flew
Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared, too
Then I felt just like a fiend
It wasn't even close to Halloween
It was dark as fuck on the streets
My hands were all bloody from punching on the concrete
God damn, homie
My mind is playing tricks on me

"The Boys From Oaklahoma "--------------Cross Canadian Ragweed --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Them boys from Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong
They're too damn skinny or way too long
I ain't no holy roller so I just use a bong
Them boys from Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong

Them boys down in Texas got some damn fine weed
They smuggle across the Rio, they use the Mexican breed
That's expointin' cheap labor, but hell that's Texican's creed
Them boys down in Texas got some damn fine weed

Them boys in Arkansas they got some damn fine pot
That's a direct result of all them good seeds they got
Haulin' water up a hill's a chore, but man I tell you what
Them boys from Arkansas they got some damn fine pot

(Chorus)

Them boys up in Kansas, hell all they got is a bunch of schwag
And they'll try to screw you for fifty bucks a quarter bag
I got some in my guitar case and I'm not the type to brag
But it's a damn sight better than that Kansanian schwag

Them boys in Louisiana got trouble growin' their weed
Them alligators is mean, and they eat up all the seeds
But on a bayou night by the light of a full moon
You can walk out and pick you a sack full of 'shrooms

(Chorus)

Band Name - Slayer
Album - Haunting The Chapel
Song Name - Chemical Warfare

:headbange


Frantic minds are terrified

Life lies in a grave

Silent death rides high above

On the wings of revelation

Multi death from chemicals

Arrogance has won

Annihilation must be swift

Destroy without destruction



Gods on the throne must be watching from hell

Awaiting the mass genocide

Soldiers defeated by death from a smell

Bodies lie dormant no life

Rising new souls on the lands where they fell

Demons not ready to die

Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie



Chemical warfare



Artificial fucking peace

Line up in a death row

Generals in their slow defeat

Diminished from this hell

Banished from the dying world

The lords of hell await

Dogs of war are helpless prey

To immortality



Gods on the throne must be watching from hell

Awaiting the mass genocide

Soldiers defeated by death from a smell

Bodies lie dormant no life

Rising new souls on the lands where they fell

Demons not ready to die

Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie



Chemical warfare!!!



Fuck it up!



Liquidate

The torture kills the troops that try to fight

Terminate

Human pesticide bring days of doom

Mist falls

The deadly gas that brings them to their knees

Sacrifice

Steal the soul and send his corpse to hell



Hahahahahaha



Mummified regions lying in dust

Fall victim to this game

Petrified corpses bathing in rust

Taken without being blamed

Falsified spirits farther they fall

Soon they will join us in hell

See the sky burning the gates are ablaze

Satan awaits eager to merge



Gods on the throne must be watching from hell

Awaiting the mass genocide

Soldiers defeated by death from a smell

Bodies lie dormant no life

Rising new souls on the lands where they fell

Demons not ready to die

Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie



Chemical warfare



Warfare!

Band Name - Saxon
Album - Strong Arm Of The Law
Song Name - Sixth Form Girls

Sixth form can't get out at night
They keep them in, it's an awful sin
Should set them free and let them roam

Locked inside their dormitory
When they go black you sneak away
The plans are set but don't go yet

They run down town to join the crowds
They're leaving school behind
They meet the boys from the factory
They're staying out all night, all night

Sixth form girls they're looking good
Skin tight jeans
They're out for fun
They drink wine late at night

Meet some man who'll make them laugh
Buy them drinks and make a pass
Take them back to a penthouse flat

They run down town to join the crowds
They're leaving school behind
They meet the boys from the factory
They're staying out all night, all night

Sixth form girls take their pick of men
They're learning fast the ways of love
Just sixteen, a teenage dream

Sixth form can't get out at night
They keep them in, it's an awful sin
Should set them free and let them roam

They run down town to join the crowds
They're leaving school behind
They meet the boys from the factory
They're staying out all night, all night
They're staying out for good.

Band Name: Korn
Album:Follow The Leader
Song:Freak on A Leash



Something takes a part of me.
Something lost and never seen.
Everytime I start to believe,
Something's raped and taken from me... from me.
Life's got to always be messing with me. (You wanna see the light)
Can't they chill and let me be free? (So do I)
Can't I take away all this pain. (You wanna see the light)
I try to every night, all in vain... in vain.
Sometimes I cannot take this place.
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste.
Sometimes I cannot feel my face.
You'll never see me fall from grace
Something takes a part of me.
You and I were meant to be.
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me.
Feeling like a freak on a leash. (You wanna see the light)
Feeling like I have no release. (So do I)
How many times have I felt diseased? (You wanna see the light)
Nothing in my life is free... is free
Chorus

Boom na da mmm dum na ema
Da boom na da mmm dum na ema

GO!
So...fight! something on the... dum na ema
Fight...some things they fight
So...something on the... dum na ema
Fight...some things they fight
Fight...something of the... dum na ema
No...some things they fight
Fight...something of the... dum na ema
Fight...some things they fight

[Chorus]

Part of me...
Oh...

Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother, should I build the wall?
Mother, should I run for President?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Is it just a waste of time?

Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry
Momma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Momma's gonna put all of her fears into you
Momma's gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing
Momma's will keep Baby cozy and warm
Oooo Babe
Oooo Babe
Ooo Babe, of course Momma's gonna help build the wall

Mother, do you think she's good enough
For me?
Mother, do you think she's dangerous
To me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother, will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry
Momma's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Momma won't let anyone dirty get through
Momma's gonna wait up until you get in
Momma will always find out where you've been
Momma's gonna keep Baby healthy and clean
Oooo Babe
Oooo Babe
Ooo Babe, you'll always be Baby to me

Mother, did it need to be so high?
