[Worm of Despite]

In my opinion Pink Floyd's best song:

Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell, blue skies 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 heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for 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

(Waters, Gilmour)

If you guys haven't found the Velvet Underground or Lou Reed yet, you're missing out!

Perfect Day
by Lou Reed

Just a perfect day
drink Sangria in the park
And then later
when it gets dark, we go home

Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
Then later
a movie, too, and then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spend it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
it's such fun

Just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
I thought I was
someone else, someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

Could never get into Lou Reed, but that song (as well as "Lust for Life") fit perfectly in Trainspotting.

"God Smack"
Alice in Chains

God Smack Lyrics

Care not for the men who wonder
Straw that broke your back, you're under
Cast all them aside who care
Empty eyes and dead end stare

Don't you know that none are blind
To the lie, and you think I don't find what you hide?

What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun

For the horse you've grown much fonder
Than for me, that I don't ponder
As the hair of one who bit you
Smiling bite your own self, too

And I think that you're not blind
To the ones you left behind
I'll be here

What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun

So be yearning all your life
Twisting, turning like a knife

Now you know the reasons why
Can't get high, or you will die
Or you'll die

What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun
So your sickness weighs a ton
And God's name is smack for some

King Crimson - "Epitaph"

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh,
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

[Dromond]

Great song. I've been a King Crimson fan a looong time.

[DarkReflection]

"Close the door, leave you fears behind. Let me give you what you're giving me. 'Cause when I am with you, there's no reason to pretend, that when I am with you, I feel flames again."

Flames by Vast


"And here in the night as I feel, the inferno, I stare in the dark, thinking what is eternal? The man, or the moment, the act, or the reason, these thoughts fill my head as I contemplate treason. Of dreams I have had, and dreams I have pondered when late in the night my mind it has wandered to things I have done, and then quickly regretted, while denying vices my life has selected, and I think what I've done, or have yet to begin, of the man I've become, and the man that I've been, now caught in a waltz with the eternal dancer, I'm courted by death but death isn't the answer I say.

Could I suddenly just decided not a thought would survive, could it be my lifes worth ended there with my birth? If I could see someone, who's been there before me, who traded his soul for a moment of glory, his penance of mercy, my spirits debated, while judged on a scale thats been heavily weighted, and what goods a life, that leaves nothing behind, not a thought, or a dream that might echo in time, the years and the hours, the seconds and minutes and everything that my life has placed in it betrayed...betrayed.

The things that I've done, the places I've been, the cost of my dreams, the weight of my sins, and everything that, I've gathered in life, could it be lost? Could it be lost in this night? "


whew....thats a great song




Thats just two, there are more, but I can't think right now.

Good Night guys

(SITTIN' ON) THE DOCK OF THE BAY
- written by Otis Redding and Steve Cropper
- lyrics as recorded by Otis Redding December 7, 1967, just three
days before his death in a plane crash outside Madison, Wisconsin
- #1 for 4 weeks in 1968

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

[Lord Mhoram]

Bargain, the Who
I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I have
To find you, I'd suffer anything and be glad

I'll pay any price just to get you
I'd work all my life and I will
To win you, I'd stand naked, stoned, and stabbed

I call that a bargain....the best I ever had
The best I ever had!

I'd gladly lose me to find you
Gladly give up all I got
To catch you, I'm gonna run and never stop

I'll pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you, I'm gonna drown an unsung man

I call that a bargain......the best I ever had
The best I ever had!

I sit lookin' round
I look at my face in the mirror
I know I'm worth nothing without you
And like one and one don't make two- one and one make one
And I'm lookin' for, that free ride to me-
I'm lookin' for you!

I'd gladly lose me to find you
Gladly give up all I got
To catch you, I'm gonna run and never stop

I'll pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you, I'm gonna drown an unsung man

I call that a bargain.....the best I ever had
The best I ever had!

[Worm of Despite]

Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia

Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia

Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering,
In the sun

Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia

When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia

Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Hum hum hum hum...calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia

FALLEN ANGEL
by King Crimson

Tears of joy at the birth of a brother
Never alone from that time
Sixteen years through knife fights and danger
Strangely why his life and not mine

West side skyline crying
Fallen angel dying
Risk a life to make a dime

Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city
Make us the people we are
Switchblade stings in one tenth of a moment
Better get back to the car

Snow white side streets of cold New York City
Stained with his blood it all went wrong
Sick and tired blue wicked and wild
God only knows for how long

Fallen angel
Fallen angel
West side skyline
Crying for an angel dying
Life expiring in the city

Fallen angel . . .

[Worm of Despite]

Angel
by Jimi Hendrix

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday,
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And then she spread her wings high over me
She said she's gonna come back tomorrow

And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel,
Fly on through the sky,
Fly on my sweet angel,
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side"

Sure enough this morning came unto me
Silver wings silhouetted against the child's sunrise
And my angel she said unto me,
"Today is the day for you to rise
Take my hand, you're gonna be my man,
You're gonna rise"
And then she took me high over yonder

And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel,
Fly on through the sky,
Fly on my sweet angel,
Forever I will be by your side"

I KNOW IT'S OVER
The Smiths

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...

All in Love Is Fair
by Stevie Wonder

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future none can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The losing side I'll play
But all is fair in love
I should have never left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

Look At Me
John Lennon

Look at me
Who am I supposed to be?
Look at me
What am I supposed to be?
Look at me
Oh my love oh my love

Here I am
What am I supposed to be?
Here I am
What can I do for you?
Here I am
Oh my love oh my love

Who am I?
Nobody knows but me
Who am I?
Nobody else can see
Just you and me
Who are we?
Oh my love oh my love

A Salty Dog
by Procol Harum

'All hands on deck, we've run afloat!' I heard the captain cry
'Explore the ship, replace the cook: let no one leave alive!'
Across the straits, around the Horn: how far can sailors fly?
A twisted path, our tortured course, and no one left alive

We sailed for parts unknown to man, where ships come home to die
No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call
A sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at all

We fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept: our tears were tears of joy
Now many moons and many Junes have passed since we made land
A salty dog, this seaman's log: your witness my own hand

Seen Enough by Stephen Stills

I lost my innocence
Over intolerance
All the indignities
Heaped on the black man
We went to church
They all prayed for the white man
The cops and the preachers
Were most of 'em in the Klan
What's a kid s'posed to think
When the adults
Are all such hypocrites
Impossible smug

I have seen enough
I have seen enough of this
Had enough
Quite enough, I swear

The next generation
The Woodstock nation
A little bit flaky
But no hesitation
Stop the war
It wasn't worth dyin' for
The paranoia
Of the cold warriors
Arrogant old men
With domino theories
Fractured fairy-tales
Tryin' to kill me

I've seen enough
I have seen enough of this
I have read enough
History to see right through this

You got outcase
Upset
People you never met
Locked in the basement
Hot-wired to the net
Isolated
Infuriated
The punchline to the joke
Is how they are gonna smoke
Every last stuck-up snob
Ever dissed them
Look in their eyes
How could you miss them

Ain't you seen enough
I have seen enough of this
I've had quite enough
Seen enough

We got dead-eyed
Dead drunk
Dead stupid
Cyberpunks
Fed-up killer geeks
Gigabyte meth freaks
Home alone
In a world of their own
Up all night
In the thick of the fight
Fantasy combat
Veteran psychos
Removed from reality
By silicone diodes

Seen enough
I have seen enough of this
Have you read enough
Son, you don't know nothin' about it

You got powerbook potentates
Pointedly obviate
Every opinion
They have about anything
Even if
They don't know shit
Stay in the limelight
Get your own website
Got all the answers
Ain't got a lick of sense
Practicing psychiatry
Without a license

Ain't you seen enough
Had enough of this
I have had enough
Ain't it bad enough for you yet

So you got overfed
Talking heads
On television
Ignoring the obvious
With pained expressions
Ask the ones
That sell the damn guns
By the truckload
Every day
Fast as they can make 'em
What's a kid s'posed to think
When the adults
Refuse all accountability
When they f**k up

Ain't you seen enough
Ain't you had enough of this
Goddamn tired enough
Have we done enough about this
I have seen enough

Dante's Prayer
by Loreena McKennitt

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me...

"Rose for Emily"
by The Zombies

The summer is here at last
The sky is overcast
And no one brings a rose for Emily

She watches her flowers grow
While lovers come and go
To give each other roses from her tree
But not a rose for Emily

Emily, can't you see
There's nothing you can do?
There's loving everywhere
But none for you

Her roses are fading now
She keeps her pride somehow
That's all she has protecting her from pain

And as the years go by
She will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade away
Not one left for her grave
Not a rose for Emily

Emily, can't you see
There's nothing you can do?
There's loving everywhere
But none for you

Her roses are fading now
She keeps her pride somehow
That's all she has protecting her from pain

And as the years go by
She will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade away
Not one left for her grave
Not a rose for Emily

Tool
Pushit:
I will choke until I swallow... Choke this infant here before me. What is this but my reflection? Who am I to judge and strike you down? But you're pushing and shoving me. You still love me and you pushit on me. Rest your trigger on my finger, bang my head upon the fault line. Take care not to make me enter. 'cause if I do we both may disappear. But you're pushing me, shoving me. Pushit on me. Slipping back into the gap again. I'm alive when you're touching me, alive when you're shoving me down. But i'd trade it all for just a little bit of piece of mind. Put me somewhere I don't wanna be. Seeing someplace I don't wanna see. Never wanna see that place again. Saw that gap again today as you were begging me to stay. Managed to push myself away, and you, as well. If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay, you minimize my movement anyway, I must persuade you another way. There's no love in fear. Staring down the hole again. Hands upon my back again. Survival is my only friend. Terrified of what may come. Just remember I will always love you, even as I tear your fucking throat away. But it will end no other way.
