I thought we could post lyrics to songs we like here. Maybe people will discover new songs and artists.
Post the song title and artist. The ragamuffin gunner is returnin' home like a hungry runaway He walks through town all alone He must be from the fort he hears the high school girls say His countryside's burnin' with wolfman fairies dressed in drag for homicide The hit and run, plead sanctuary, 'neath a holy stone they hide They're breakin' beams and crosses with a spastic's reelin' perfection nuns run bald through Vatican halls pregnant, pleadin' immaculate conception And everybody's wrecked on Main Street from drinking unholy blood Sticker smiles sweet as gunner breathes deep, his ankles caked in mud And I said "Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand, that's quicksand that ain't mud Have you thrown your senses to the war or did you lose them in the flood?" That pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight He rides 'er low on the hip, on the side he's got Bound For Glory in red, white and blue flash paint He leans on the hood telling racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy The Saint Well the blaze and noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' point He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell That is, nothin' left that you could sell just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell And he said "Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's blood" I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm Or was he just lost in the flood? Eighth Avenue sailors in satin shirts whisper in the air Some storefront incarnation of Maria, she's puttin' on me the stare and Bronx's best apostle stands with his hand on his own hardware Everything stops, you hear five, quick shots, the cops come up for air And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown, they're shootin' up the street And that cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose but he gets blown right off his feet And some kid comes blastin' round the corner but a cop puts him right away He lays on the street holding his leg screaming something in Spanish Still breathing when I walked away And somebody said "Hey man did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud" I wonder what the dude was sayin' or was he just lost in the flood? Hey man, did you see that, those poor cats are sure fucked up I wonder what they were gettin' into, or were they just lost in the flood? Lost In The Flood -- Bruce Springsteen

It takes a mountain of faith
River flowing pain It takes a hammer on a nail A whole lotta love...yeah... It takes a liftime of working A touch of understanding It takes a wind in the sails Little children singing...yeah... It takes a sun burning knowledge An ocean full of feeling It takes a certain kind of hunger A whole lotta love...yeah... What It Takes -- Jerry Cantrell

In my way of need
On a sea of gray On my knees I pray to you Help me find the dawn Of the dying day (chorus) Won't you light the way won't you light the way A bullet is a man From time to time he strays I compare my life to this To this I relate And I'm willing To listen to you're answers And I'm willing To tell you I need you today (chorus) So when I'm lost Or I'm tired and depraved Or when my high bullet mind Goes astray won't you LIGHT MY WAY Light my Way- Audioslave

Good songs.
The big three killed my baby No money in my hand again The big three killed my baby Nobody's coming home again Their ideas made me want to spit A hundred dollars goes down the pit 30,000 wheels are rollin' And my stick shift hands are swollen Everything involved is shady The big three killed my baby The big three killed my baby No money in my hand again The big three killed my baby Nobody's coming home again Why dont you take the day off and try to repair A billion others dont seem to care Better ideas are stuck in the mud The motors runnin' on tuckers blood Don't let them tell you the future's electric Cause gasolines not measured in metric 30,000 wheels are spinnin' And oil company faces are grinnin' Now my hands are turnin' red And I found out my baby is dead The big three killed my baby No money in my hand again The big three killed my baby Nobody's coming home again Well i've said it now, nothings changed People are burnin for pocket change And creative minds are lazy And the big three killed my baby And my baby's my common sense So dont feed me planned obsolescence Yeah my baby's my common sense So dont feed my planned obsolescence I'm about to have another blowout I'm about to have another blowout The Big Three Killed My Baby -- The White Stripes

A little dust never stopped me none, he liked my shoes ,I kept them on
sometimes i can hold my tongue ,sometimes not, when you just skip-to-lou my darlin' and you know what you're doin', so don't even (chorus) you're just to use to my honey now you're just to use to my honey And I think I could leave your world If she was the better girl so when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker cause I'm not sure what you're doing or the reasons (chorus) don't bother coming down I made a friend of the western sky don't bother coming down You always liked your babies tight turn back one last time love to watch those cowboys ride But cowboys know that cowgirls ride on the indian side and you know what you're doin' so don't even (chorus) Honey- Tori Amos

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep time is running away Feel like my soul has turned into steel I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal There's not even room enough to be anywhere It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind She put down in writing what was in her mind I just don't see why I should even care It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree I've followed the river and I got to the sea I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear It's not dark yet, but it's getting there I was born here and I'll die here against my will I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer It's not dark yet, but it's getting there. Not Dark Yet -- Bob Dylan

The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes It's nothing new for him to see I didn't ask him why I will remember The love our souls had Sworn to make Now I watch the falling rain All my mind can see Now is your (face) Well I guess You took my youth I gave it all away Like the birth of a New-found joy This love would end in rage And when she died I couldn't cry The pride within my soul You left me incomplete... all alone As the memories now unfold. Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the Cemetery gates Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder aloud If you're watching over me Some place far abound I must reverse my life I can't live in the past Then set my soul free Belong to me at last Through all those Complex years I thought I was alone I didn't care to look around And make this world my own And when she died I should've cried and spared myself some pain... You left me incomplete All alone as the memories still remain The way we were The chance to save my soul And my concern is now in vain Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the cemetery gates Pantera- Cemetery Gates

I close my eyes
And everything feels so right Like a magic carpet ride We fly away up high And never come back down We’ll keep this peace we found And you’re always there To love me when I’m feeling down When no one else will come around Every night you’re always there I need to know how much you care You keep me hanging on and on You keep me hanging on The sun will rise And I’ll open up my eyes But it all looks the same As it did yesterday And you’re always there To love me when I’m feeling down When no one else will come around Every night you’re always there I need to know how much you care You keep me hanging on and on You keep me hanging on I can’t take anymore Is this worth trying for You keep me hanging on and on You keep me hanging on Hangin On- Big Dismal

Well,the smart money's on Harlow
And the moon is in the street The shadow boys are breaking all the laws And you're east of East St. Louis And the wind is making speeches And the rain sounds like a round of a applause Napoleon is weeping in the carnivale saloon His fiance is in the mirror The band is going home It's raining hammers,it's raining nails Yes,it's true,there's nothing left for him down here (chorus) And it's Time Time Time And it's Time Time Time And it's Time Time Time That you love And it's Time Time Time And they all pretend they're orphans And their memory's like a train,You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away And the things you can't remember Tell the things you can't forget that History puts saints in every dream Well,she said she'd stick around Until the bandages came off But these mamas boys just don't know how to quit And Matilda asks the sailors are those dreams Or are those prayers So just close your eyes,son And this won't hurt a bit (chorus) Well,things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl The boys just dive right off the cars And splash into the streets And when she's on a roll she pulls a razor From her boot and a thousand Pigeons fall around her feet So put a candle in the window And a kiss upon his lips Till the dish outside the window fills with rain Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart And pay the fiddler off till I come back again Time- Tom Waits

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone. Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on. I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, But is there because he's a victim of the times. I wear the black for those who never read, Or listened to the words that Jesus said, About the road to happiness through love and charity, Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me. Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose, In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes, But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back, Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black. I wear it for the sick and lonely old, For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold, I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been, Each week we lose a hundred fine young men. And, I wear it for the thousands who have died, Believen' that the Lord was on their side, I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died, Believen' that we all were on their side. Well, there's things that never will be right I know, And things need changin' everywhere you go, But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right, You'll never see me wear a suit of white. Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day, And tell the world that everything's OK, But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, 'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black. Man In Black -- Johnny Cash

I feel like there is no need for conversation
Some questions are better left without a reason And I would rather reveal myself than my situation Now and then I consider, my hesitation (chorus) The more the light shines through me I pretend to close my eyes The more the dark consumes me I pretend I'm burning, burning bright I wonder if the things I did were just to be different To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation Here and now I'll express, my situation CHORUS (2) There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right Such a cruel contradiction I know I cross the lines its not easy to define I'm born to indecision There's always something new some path I'm supposed to choose With no particular rhyme or reason CHORUS (2) Burning Bright-Shinedown

What else should I be
All apologies What else should I say Everyone is gay What else could I write I don't have the right What else should I be All apologies In the sun In the sun I feed as one In the sun In the sun I'm married buried I wish I was like you Easily amused Find my nest of salt Everything is my fault I'll take all the blame Aqua seafoam shame Sunburn with freezerburn Choking on the ashes of her enemy Nirvana All Apologies

They gave me a life that’s not so easy to live
And then they sent me on my way I left my loving, forgot my dreams I lost them along the way Those little things you say When words mean so much You never back down And they all shy away You always listen to me And what do I care to get me through these sleepless nights And what do I have to hold when no one’s there to hold me tight And what do I see the only thing that gets me through this is I feel and I feel you And this ain’t no bitterness Then I’d rose just the same Got this road short and can be long Another endless day, another seven hundred miles that’ll take me further from my home Those little things you say When words mean so much You never back down And they all shy away You always listen to me And what do I care to get me through these sleepless nights And what do I have to hold when no one’s there to hold me tight And what do I see the only thing that gets me through this is I feel and I feel you I know what you’re going through now Believe me I live this And what do I care to get me through these sleepless nights And what do I have to hold when no one’s there to hold me tight And what do I see the only thing that gets me through this is I feel and I feel you I Feel You-3DD
