[emotional leper]

Now the king told the boogie men,
"You have to let that raga drop"
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

CHORUS
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the casbah
Rock the casbah
The sharif don't like it
Rock the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric kettle drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the sharif
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

CHORUS

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

CHORUS

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as Sharif was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as Sharif was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

CHORUS

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it.
You know he really hates it.

Grateful Dead, Stella Blue

All the years combine, they melt into a dream,
A broken angel sings from a guitar.
In the end theres just a song comes cryin up the night
Thru all the broken dreams and vanished years.
Stella blue. stella blue.

When all the cards are down, theres nothing left to see,
Theres just the pavement left and broken dreams.

In the end theres still that song comes cryin like the wind.
Down every lonely street thats ever been
Stella blue. stella blue.

Ive stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel, cant win for trying.
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time,
Gonna make them shine, shine

It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free,
Theres nothing you can hold, for very long.
And when you hear that song come crying like the wind,
It seems like all this life was just a dream.
Stella blue. stella blue.

Dust in the Wind, Kansas

I close my eyes only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity
Dust in the wind...
all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song; just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind... all we are is dust in the wind

Now don't hang on: nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away and all your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind...
all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind...
everything is dust in the wind.

Silent Lucidity
Queensryche

Hush now dont cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over...or has it just begun?

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run to in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the tears
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension

Chorus
I-will be watching over you
I-am gonna help you see it through
I-will protect you in the night
I-am smiling next to you...in silent lucidity

If you open your mind for me
You wont rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumblng down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dreams alive, you can be the guide but...

Chorus

[Seareach]

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel

Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, dont you
Know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

"I Want to Tell You", by The Beatles

I want to tell you
My head is filled with things to say
When you're here
All those words, they seem to slip away

When I get near you,
The games begin to drag me down
It's all right
I'll make you maybe next time around

But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me, it's not my mind
That is confusing things.

I want to tell you
I feel hung up but I don't know why,
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time

Sometimes I wish I knew you well,
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand

I want to tell you
I feel hung up but I don't know why,
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time, I've got time, I've got time

(What a wonderful world...What a wonderful world...)

A loose door-jamb, light left on, the oldest national lottery
Enter Johnny-go-darkly, come to spoil my party
Smell of feces lingers, echo of light fingers
Cold comfort blankets, steeped in creeping anger
Flatfoot comes poking, compounding my misery
Grinding pestle and mortar, adding insult to injury
If only this, if only that, if only in my guts
See my life before my eyes, “Trampled Underfoot”

Creepy crawling, creepy crawling, creepy crawling, creepy crawling
All the creeps go creepy crawling, same thing every night
How can stealing candy from a baby seem alright?
(What a wonderful world...What a wonderful world...)

Corvino, carrion crow, skulking with his mobile
Slippery peat-bog eyes, stick-on smiley smile
Small print like quicksand, not a wooden leg to stand on
Sinking through my stomach, the ground beneath me gone
Free-fall, call Ophelia, clutching at straw
Mixed with bloody feathers from scruff of neck of crow
Johnny go! Johnny gone! Too much drink in your tum-tum-tum
See this finger, see this thumb, see this fist and watch it come

Creepy crawling, creepy crawling, creepy crawling, creepy crawling
All the creeps go creepy crawling, same thing every night
How can stealing candy from a baby seem alright?
All the creeps go creepy crawling, same thing every night
How can stealing candy from a baby seem alright?

Creepy crawling, creepy crawling, creepy crawling

Edit

[Menolly]

Please don't take offense, Lore, but I have never liked that song. In fact...I hate it.

...it strikes too close to home...

[Loredoctor]

Lore offends another. *waits to be told off by Creator*

[Menolly]

No...not offended. I just PM'd regarding this before seeing your response. Just...bad memories in regard to it. You had no idea of knowing.

***EDIT***

Or, on second thought, this song may just resonate with you for the exact reasons I can't listen or think about it...

***further edit***

Crimney, Lore. I didn't mean for you to remove the lyrics just because it has bad memories for me. Please repost them back.

This song, like the show, got funnier as I got older.

Superteen extraordinaire
Freakazoid, Freakazoid
Runs around in underwear
Freakazoid, Freakazoid
Thinks he's watching QVC
Freakazoid, Freakazoid
That is something that is on TV
Freakazoid, Freakazoid
His brain is overloaded
His head's been chocolate coated
Textbook case for Sigmund Frued
Freakazoid, Freakazoid
Check out Dexter Douglas
Nerd Computer Ace
While Surfing on the Internet he was zapped through cyberspace
He turned into the Freakazoid
He's strong and superquick
He drives the villians crazy
'cause he's a lunatic!
Homebase is the Freakalair
Freakazoid, Chimpanzee
Floyd the Barber cuts his hair
Freakazoid, Fricassee
Rides around in the Freakmobile
Freakazoid, Freakazoo
Hopes to make a movie deal
Freakame, Freakayou
He's here to save the nation
So stay tune to this station
If not we'll be unemployed
Freakazoid, Freakazoid
Freakazoid~!

"A Dream Goes on Forever", by Todd Rundgren

A million old soldiers will fade away
But a dream goes on forever
Im left standing here, Ive got nothing to say
All is silent within my dream

A thousand true loves will live and die
But a dream lives on forever
The days and the years will go streaking by
But the time has stopped in my dream

We all have our everyday hopes and fears
And youll find no exception in me
But that doesnt get me through a sea of tears
Over lifes biggest tragedy

Youre so long ago and so far away
But my dream lives on forever
I guess I believe that Ill see you one day
For without it there is no dream

Youre so far away and so long ago
But my dream goes on forever
And how much I loved you youll never know
til you join me within my dream

winter time and the frozen river
sunday afternoon
they're playing hockey on the river
rosy...
he'll have that scar on his chin forever someday his girlfriend will say hey
where...
he might look out the window...or not
you skate as fast as you can 'til you hit the snowbank(that's how you stop)
and you get your sweater from the catalogue
you use your rubber boots for goal posts
ah...walkin' home
don't let those sunday afternoons
get away get away get away get away
break away break away break away break away
this stick was signed by jean belliveau so don't fucking tell me where
to fucking go...
on sunday afternoon
someone's dog just took the puck-he buried it it's in the snowbank...your turn
they rioted in the streets of montreal when they benched rocket richard it's
true...
don't let those sunday afternoons
get away get away get away get away
break away break away break away break away
the sun is fading on the frozen river
the wind is dying down
someone else just got called for dinner
rosy
hmm...sunday afternoon

artist: The Kinks
title: Demolition
album: Preservation Act I

[Sung by Flash and his Cronies in their Den]

I spy with my little eye
Anything here that I can buy.
I see a little thatched cottage
Looking so neat
With compulsory purchase we can buy it up cheap.
Then we'll pull up the floor boards,
Knock down the walls,
Rock the foundations,
Until the house falls.
Like a pack of cards,
Crashing to the ground.
Then we'll build a row
Of identical boxes
And sell them all off at treble the profits.
Demolition.

The deeds are in my pocket,
I've got a contract in my hand.
An opportunity for luxury living.
I'll arrange the mortgage
To be repaid a hundred percent.
I can't wait around so make your decision.
We'll buy up all the cottages
And every house and every street,
Until we've got everything we need.
Every town in the vicinity,
Every farm and village green.
We're gonna buy up everything,
Then it's Demolition.
Demolition. Demolition.

Two up, two down,
It hasn't got a garden,
But it's got a lovely patio.
Stainless steel kitchen sink,
Gas fired central heating,
Whaaa - specifically designed for modern-day living,
Nothing's permanent and nothing lasts,
We've sold all the houses so put 'em up fast.
We're gonna buy up this town
And pull it all down.
How I love to hear the demolition sound
Of concrete crashing to the ground.
Demolition.

It's time to make some money,
It's time to get rich quick.
It's the wonderful world of capitalism.
I've got to make a profit,
I've got to satisfy my greed,
It's my faith and my religion,
Demolition. Demolition. Demolition.
And we'll buy up the towns,
And we'll knock 'em all down
Build a brand new world of our own.
[Repeat]

...ah...Eiran...

"Strangers", by The Kinks


Where are you going I don't mind
I've killed my world and I've killed my time
So where do I go what do I see
I see many people coming after me

So where are you going to I don't mind
If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
So I will follow you wherever you go
If your offered hand is still open to me
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one

So you've been where I've just come
From the land that brings losers on
So we will share this road we walk
And mind our mouths and beware our talk

'Till peace we find tell you what I'll do
All the things I own I will share with you
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
We'll take what we want and give the rest away
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one

Holy man and holy priest
This love of life makes me weak at my knees
And when we get there make your play
'Cos soon I feel you're gonna carry us away

In a promised lie you made us believe
For many men there is so much grief
And my mind is proud but it aches with rage
And if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one

The Four Horsemen
Aphrodite's Child

And when the lamb
opened the first seal,
I saw the first Horse.
The Horseman held a bow.

Now when the lamb
opened the second seal,
I saw the second Horse.
The Horseman held a sword.

Chorus:
The leading Horse is white,
the second Horse is red,
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green.

And when the lamb
opened the third seal,
I saw the third Horse.
The Horseman had a balance.

Now when the lamb
opened the fourth seal,
I saw the fourth Horse.
The Horseman was the Pest.

Blue Oyster Cult -- Black Blade

I have this feeling that my luck is none too good
This sword here at my side don't act the way it should
Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave
Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave
And it howls! It howls like hell!

Im told it's my duty to fight against the law
That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore
I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul
I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool!

Black blade, black blade
Forged a billion years ago
Black blade, black blade
Killing so its power can grow

It's death from the beginning to the end of time
And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign
And the whole world's dying and the burden's mine
And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time

Black blade, black blade
Bringing chaos to the world we know
Black blade, black blade
And its using me to kill my friends
Black blade, black blade
Getting stronger so the world will end
Black blade, black blade
Forcing my mind to bend and bend

I am the black blade
Forged a million billion years ago
My cosmic soul it goes on for eternity
Carving out destiny
Bringing in the lords of chaos
Bringing up the beasts of hades
Sucking out the souls of heroes
Laying waste to knights and ladies
My master is my slave
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You poor f***ing humans!
