Song: Did He Jump


Who was that on the window ledge?
Did he jump or was he pushed?
He left a note which no one read
In desperate hand the note just said:
"Never turn my back on society
Society turn is back on me.
Never tried once to drop out,
I just couldn't get in from the start."

The children all played clever games
The grown-ups gave them clever names
Turned them all from very young
On to the drug competition
Feed them T.V. everyday
Teach them just how they should play
For the ones that start to stray
Cut them off till they obey

Our little friend was not the type
To want to have to stand and fight
Bully boys all could pick
Upon the lonely little kid
The grown ups all looked hard and long
Said "He's got two feet he can stand on"
We never like the sickly ones
The boisterous ones are much more fun

He found it hard to socialize
Cause when he laughed or want he cried
In the wrong place he'd be chastised
An idiot to be despised
Never learnt to play the game the way
That your supposed to play
Never learnt the things to say
Or lock emotion safe away

Who was that on the window ledge?
Did he jump or was he pushed?
He left a note which no one read
In desperate hand the note just said:
"Never turn my back on society
Society turn is back on me.
All the world can not be wrong
It must be me I don't belong."
"All the world can not be wrong
It must be me I don't belong"
"All the world can not be wrong
It must be me I don't belong"
"All the world can not be wrong
It must be me I don't belong"
"All the world can not be wrong
It must be me I don't belong"

--

The unfree child is full of woe
Into the unfree adult he will grow
Have unfree children of is own
On and on and so it goes

Take your hands from off your genitals
Eat those greens and grow up strong
Don't piss yourself it's very naughty
Stephen, Stephen don't you shine
Don't speak now we are talking
Not a word less you disgrace
There's people listening
Don't embarrass us
And never let us catch you masturbate

--

When I was a baby my mummy told me
If I was a bad boy daddy would scold me
When I was a baby my mummy lectured
If I was a good boy I would be rewarded

Mummy, daddy, what more would you expected
In your eyes I'm not to be respected
Take you on but I'm just one reflection
Of the values that you hold and the way you see them

My mummy's gone
To a place where I can't go
A place that's cloaked in thy mystery
Of corporate identity
Supermarkets and three pike suits
My mummy's gone
My mummy's gone

When I was a little girl my mummy told me
Had to make an effort to make myself pretty
Got to get a husband, got to have a baby
Got to be a credit to the rest of the family

Mummy, daddy, what more would you expected
In your eyes I'm not to be respected
Take you on but I'm just one reflection
Of the values that you hold and the way you see them

My mummy's gone
To a place where I can't go
A place that's cloaked in thy mystery
Of corporate identity
Supermarkets and three pike suits
My mummy's gone
My mummy's gone

Now that I'm older, I know that you scared me
But I don't hold it against you, though it damage me sorley
I know you're a victim just just like me
You can feel the pressure just just like me

Mummy, daddy, what more would you expected
In your eyes I'm not to be respected
Take you on but I'm just one reflection
Of the values that you hold and the way you see them

My mummy's gone
To a place where I can't go
A place that's cloaked in thy mystery
Of corporate identity
Supermarkets and three pike suits
My mummy's gone
My mummy's gone

lets see if i can do this by memory...ah... nope....to google!

Don McLean-American Pie.

a long long time ago
i can still remember
how that music used to make me smile
and i knew if i had my chance
that i could make those people dance
and,maybe they'd be happy for a while.

but february made me shiver
with every paper i'd deliver
bad news on the door step
i couldn't take one more step

i can't remember if i cried
when i read about his widowed bride
but something touched me deep inside
the day the music died.

so bye bye miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry
and them good old boys drinkin' whiskey and rye
singin' this'll be the day that i die
this'll be the day that i die

did you write the book of love
and do you have faith in god above
if the bible tells you so
do you believe in rock n' roll
can music save your mortal soul
and can you teach me how to dance real slow?

well i know that you're in love with him
'cause i saw you dancin' in the gym
you both kicked off your shoes
man i dig those rhythm and blues

i was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
but i knew i was out of luck
the day the music died

i started singin'
bye bye miss american pie(ect.)

now for ten years we've been on our own
and moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
but thats not how it used to be
when the jester sang for the king and queen
in a coat he borrowed from james dean
and a voice that came from you and me

oh and while the king was looking down
the jester stole his thorny crown
the courtroom was adjourned
no verdict was returned
and while lennon read a book of marx
the quartet practiced in the park
and we sang dirges in the dark
the day the music died

we were singing
bye bye miss american pie(ect.)

helter skelter in a summer swelter
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter
eight miles high and falling fast
it landed foul on the grass
the player tried for a forward pass
with the jester on the side lines in a cast

now the half time air was sweet perfume
while the sergeants played a marching tune
we all got up to dance
oh, but we never got the chance!
'cause the player tried to take the field
the marching band refused to yield
do you recall what was revealed
the day the music died

we stared singing
bye bye miss american pie(ect.)

oh and there we were all in one place
a generation lost in space
with no time left to start again
so come on:jack be nimble,jack be quick
jack flash sat on a candlestick
'cause fire is the devil's only friend

oh, and as i watched him on the stage
my hands were clenched in fists of rage
no angel born in hell
could break that satan's spell
and as the flames climbed high into the night
to light the sacrificial rite
i saw satan laughing with delight
the day the music died

he was singing
bye bye miss american pie(ect.)

i met a girl who sang the blues
and i asked her for some happy news
but she just smiled and turned away
i went down to the sacred store
where i had heard the music years before
but the man there said the music wouldn't play

and in the streets:the children screamed
the lovers cried,and the poets dreamed
but not a word was spoken
the church bells were all broken
and the three men i admire most
the father,son,and the holy ghost
they caught the last train for the coast
the day the music died

and they were singing
bye bye miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry
and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
singing this'll be the day that i die
this'll be the day that i die

they were singing
bye bye miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry
and then good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
singing this'll be the day that i die

I can't pick just one. How 'bout three?

Boston-More Than A Feeling

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away

David Bowie-Life On Mars?

It's a God awful small affair
To the girl with the mousey hair,
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go,
But her friend is no where to be seen.
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seats with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen,
But the film is sadd'ning bore
For she's lived it ten times or more.
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors
Fighting in the dance hall.
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go.
It's the freakiest show.
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy.
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show.
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow.
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again.
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads.
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns,
But the film is a sadd'ning bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more.
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors
Fighting in the dance hall.
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go.
It's the freakiest show.
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy.
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show.
Is there life on Mars?

Pink Floyd-Echoes

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
inciting and inviting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

don't know about favourite,
but I'm playing this a lot recently

*****************
Aesop Rock - Coffee
*****************
chorus:
We don't need no walkie-talkies, nope, no walkie talkies.
We don't need your coughing when offering the morning coffee, no.
We don't need no walkie-talkies, nope, no walkie-talkies.
We just want our hermitry to stay and our coffee to go.

And the last shall be...
First to immerse in the pass out heat.
Face in the mud where the moxie melt,
'til he woke up drowning in Tsatke hell.
More in a cave with a torch on the wall,
than a window arrangement of porcelain dolls.
On a brand new day, saw what he saw,
property owners who crawl to the mall.
With a bad toupee and a face like he author the law,
pace like he mourning a loss.
Right hand on a can of worms,
left full of gold he will trade for turf.
I mean thats ok,
you got to answer to you at the end of the volatile day.
But a model of mercy and might? no way,
marionette who will clap and obey.
Dude, look, all that noise?
call that flight of the water boys.
Meet and greet and they all slap five,
cheek to cheek when they colonize.
And a grown ass man shall abide as he wish,
walk that path with a dime and a stick.
Walk that path with a diamond and wine,
walk that path to the firing line.
Just walk, pay no mind
to the new recruit with the play-dough spine.
Let's be friends from opposite ends,
wave to the kid don't hop on the fence.
Play to the radius far and away,
orbit wide don't park in his space.
One little martyr who talk in his face,
make one little weatherman sharpen the blades.

chorus

And the last shall be...
First to the curb with the mad cow meat.
Face in the bars of a regular cell,
when he woke up high in collectible hell.
Boom town kid who was taught by the binge,
that a man who expire with the most shit win.
That's warpy american nonsense penned by the rich,
not a routine friend in a pinch.
Still not used to the stench,
how it throws off otherwise lucid events.
In the case the afraid observe i got
a pro-keds box full of layman's terms.
It goes hey, peace, pray for the plagued,
major relief and capacious rains.
But just cuz i don't want to war with you,
it don't mean go warm up the barbecue.
I'm like pardon you, sawed off limit,
my high noon is a quick little minute.
I don't wanna spend it sitting with a critic,
who simply isn't going to ever really get it.
This HQ is alive and alone,
no driveway, no sign of a home.
No dial tone, no line for the phone,
no world's tiniest violin song.
And i might just lie to them all,
lie in the morgue with a deep breath, hiding and bored.
Fighting a smile, highly annoyed,
when the timing is right i will rise and record.
Call for the monster beats and blockhead,
got animal drums like he's doctor teeth.
It goes red light, green light, 1, 2, 3.
One large coffee, fuck you, peace.

john darnielle:
i crawled down to the basement when the weather got cold, like a lost lamb returning to the fold, and when the outside world recedes from view, it's just a year's supply of make-up and memories of you, 1967 colt 45, holding back the vampires, keeping me alive, there's an envelope with some cash in it out by the front door, this is what they make you take the medication for.

OH... this has been done,
so many times before,
and this fucking topic,
is becoming a bore.
So I'm going to show,
how your brain did malfunction,
since you were too retarded,
to use the search function.

Lyrics: English version is in blue. Original song is in black.
kawaita kokoro de kakenukeru
gomen ne nani mo dekinakute
itami wo wakachiau koto sae
anata wa yurushite kurenai

I run past others with a parched heart.
Sorry, I can't do anything.
You won't even let me
Share our pain together.

muku ni ikiru tame ni furimukazu
senaka mukete satteshimau
on the lonely rail

To live on without tarnish,
I face your back and head out without looking back
on the lonely rail

watashi tsuiteiku yo
donna tsurai sekai no yami no naka de sae
kitto anata wa kagayaite
koeru mirai no hate
yowasa yue ni tamashii kowasarenu you ni
my way kasanaru yo
ima futari ni God bless...

I will follow you.
No matter how agonizing the world is,
You will shine even in its darkest corners.
Cross over the end of the future,
My weakness will not shatter my spirit.
my way is overlapping with yours.
For the two of us, God bless...

todokete atsuku naru omoi wa
genjitsu tokashite samayou
aitai kimochi ni riyuu wa nai
anata e afuredasu Lovin' you

This warming affection that reaches me,
It melts my reality and roams my heart.
I don't need a reason for wanting to meet you,
Just my overflowing feelings, Lovin' you

semete utsukushii yume dake wo
egakinagara oikakeyou
for your lonely heart

For now, let's paint a beautiful dream
And chase after
for your lonely heart

yamete uso wa anata rashikunai yo
me wo mite kore kara no koto wo hanasou
watashi kakugo shiteru
kurai mirai datte
tsuyoku natte unmei kaerareru kamo ne
my wish kanaetai noni
subete wa God knows...

Stop it, it's not like you to lie.
Look at my eyes and let's talk about our future.
I am prepared,
Even if the future is bleak,
I might be able to change destiny if I become stronger.
But for my wish to come true,
Everything is God knows...

anata ga ite watashi ga ite
hoka no hito wa kieteshimatta
awai yume no utsukushisa wo egakinagara
kizuato nazoru

You are here, I am here.
Everyone else has disappeared.
While we paint the beauty of this fleeting dream,
We trace out the lines of our scars.

dakara watashi tsuiteiku yo
donna tsurai sekai no yami no naka de sae
kitto anata wa kagayaite
koeru mirai no hate
yowasa yue ni tamashii kowasarenu you ni

That's why I will follow you.
No matter how agonizing the world is,
You will shine even in its darkest corners.
Cross over the end of the future,
My weakness will not shatter my spirit.
my way is overlapping with yours.

Song: Guilty Pleasures

And i came here to make you dance tonight
i don't care about my guilty pleasure for you

and i don't even know
what kinda fool you're taking me for
so you've got some brand new clothes,
you never could afford before

oh brother spare us all
we don't care anymore
we just wanna get down on the floor
you sell yourself to make it
you can dish it, but can you really take it

you're never gonna get it with nothing
cause nothing's what you got in your head
so stop pretending

[2x]
i came here to make you dance tonight
i don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
shut up cause we won't stop
and we're getting down till the sun's coming up

and i don't even read
what the papers gotta say about me
oh, no i can't believe
they take it so serious, seriously

i'm so bored, oh please don't talk anymore
shut your mouth and get down on the floor

so cynical
poor baby i can dish it cause i know how to take it

you're never gonna win em all
so fuck em if they can't take a joke
i'm just playing

[2x]
i came here to make you dance tonight
i don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
shut up cause we won't stop
and we're getting down till the sun's coming up

and maybe someday i'll believe
(maybe someday i'll believe)
that we are all apart of some bigger plan
tonight i just don't give a damn
(so shut your mouth it's time to dance)
if the world is ending, i'm throwing the party

[repeat till fade out]
and i came here to make you dance tonight
i don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
shut up cause we won't stop
and we're getting down till the sun's coming up


PS: There is also the worlds most hilarious dance. You don't even need to get out of your seat.

You guys are all idiots. Shut up and stop it already.

Obviously the Thread maker didn't want to revive an old thread. The search function does not apply to off topic. If he was asking a question that someone else already did or he is asking a question that has a simple answer....sure...search away. But this is an offtopic thread for fun. You are derailing this thread. Even though this thread is off topic it still has a specific topic in which the thread creator intended...that being "music lyrics". If your not going to post music lyrics or talk about lyrics than its notworth starting. Now shut up. I don't care how long you have been dream views. It really means nothing and using that as a "I am better than you cause I've been here longer" is BS and you know it. We all have been using forums for a long while and even through it wasn't dream views all respectable forums function the same way.


Stop flaming we aren't here to flame. We are here because we are bored. Thust was the meaning of offtopic. So yes please get out of our dream views so we can carry on a half decent thread without it turning into a flame thread.

Grow up.

Artist: The Beatles
Song: Happiness is a Warm Gun

She's not a girl who misses much,
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
Oh yeah.

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
like a lizard on a window pane.
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
on his hobnail boots.
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
working overtime.
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
and donated to the National Trust.

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown...
I need a fix cause I'm going down.

Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun

Happiness is a warm gun
(Bang Bang Shoot Shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, momma
(Bang Bang Shoot Shoot)
When I hold you in my arms
And when I feel my finger on your trigger
I know nobody can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun, momma
(Bang Bang Shoot Shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun
(Bang Bang Shoot Shoot)
Yes it is, it's a warm gun!
(Bang Bang Shoot Shoot)
Happiness is a warm, yes it is...
GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
(Bang Bang Shoot Shoot)
Well don't ya know that happiness is a warm gun, momma?
(Bang Bang Shoot Shoot)
Yeeeaahhh!

Few more:

Title: Famous Blue Raincoat

Its four in the morning, the end of december
Im writing you now just to see if youre better
New york is cold, but I like where Im living
Theres music on clinton street all through the evening.

I hear that youre building your little house deep in the desert
Youre living for nothing now, I hope youre keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
Youd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without lili marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobodys wife.

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see janes awake --

She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
Im glad you stood in my way.

If you ever come by here, for jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

And jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

-- sincerely, l. cohen
