Give Us A Song!!!

[PinkyGen]

Ah, catchy 80's, and of course the movie Clerks

Come on Eileen
By Dexy's Midnight Runners


Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never), no not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever
Remember
Eileen I'll sing [hum] this tune forever

Come on Eileen well [oh] I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on Eileen
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
Please...

Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye come on
Eileen too-loo rye-aye toora toora-too-loora

Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh Eileen
Come on Eileen, these things they are real and I know
how you feel
Now I must say more than ever
things round here have changed
Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye

Final post, but this thread is some desperate need of Monty Python musicals.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. from the Life of Brian



Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistling]

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle. That's the thing.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistling]

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...

Always look on the bright side of death,
[whistling]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistling]

Life's a piece of ****,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke. It's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistling]

Candlemass

Hail Malcom! The Friar Tuck of metal

At The Gallows End - from NightFall


Sunrise I greet you, the beauty of your light
so warm and tender was never the night
In tears I see you, the last time it will be
so give me your blessing, I'll meet my destiny

No rest for the Sinner
Hypnos refused me my sleep
This was the last night of my life
with wine I pondered on my deeds

I drank to the devil with servants
It's good with a friend where you go
No one would share my last chalice
So I drink to the ones that I know

Ring brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end

With sad emotions, I sing this epitaph
my swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heart
The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows stand
only the vultures will come to see me hang

Behold the sight of my Golgatha
the gallows enlightened by the moon
proud of his art are the carpenter
his creation a tool for my doom

I am the outcast no winner
I am the fallen the one
that lived all his life as a sinner
The Tempter has called me his son

Ring brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end

Soon it is time the dark has now fled
and I see the place for my death
the priest he will pray for my lost soul
I'm sure he's wasting his time

A sinner, a fool or a devil
or just a victim of life
It's no fun to burn in hell's fire
but I sure have enjoyed my life

Ring brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end

I WON'T FOLLOW YOUR RULES
BLAME AND LIES, CONTRADICTIONS ARISE
BLAME AND LIES, CONTRADICTIONS ARISE
NONCONFORMITY IN MY INNER SELF

BUT SOMEDAY YOU'LL FALL, AND I'LL BE WAITING
LAUGHS OF AN INSANE MAN, YOU'LL HEAR

I'VE SEEN YOU FIGHTING THROUGH THE TIME
I'VE FOLLOWED YOUR STEPS FULL OF PAIN
UNNAMED HERO THAT'S CHALLENGED THE HUMAN EGO
VICTIM OF COWARDICE
OF STRONG MANIPULATION
A SYSTEM THAT WAS MADE TO LIE AND TO DECEIVE
SCREAMS OF AGONY
SATISFY THE PROUD
BUT THESE SCREAMS STILL ECHO INSIDE THE CONSCIENCE
CONTRADICTION, AGGRESSION, DESOLATION, ILLUSION
NONCONFORMITY TAKES MY MIND
TOO MUCH INJUSTICE TO FORGET SO FAST
MY DISGUST IS GREATER THAN MY COMPASSION
FEEL THE PAIN UPON MY FINAL HOUR
SELF-BLAME CAN'T HURT ME
EYE FOR AN EYE
YOU RECEIVE YOUR JUST REWARD
NOW I'LL LIVE MY LIFE WITH INDIFFERENCE
I'VE TORTURED WITHOUT REMORSE
I'VE SLAUGHTERED WITHOUT FEAR
BRAIN KILLING BRAIN
BRAIN KILLING BRAIN
BRAIN KILLING BRAIN

Why don't you get a life and grow up
Why don't you realize that you're ****ed up
Why criticize what you don't understand
Why change my words, you're so afraid

You think you have the right to
put me down
Propaganda hides your scum
Face to face you don't have a word to say
You got in my way, now you'll have to pay

Don't, don't believe what you
see
Don't, don't believe what you read
No!!!

I know my ways, I'm here to stay
I didn't start all this yesterday
I'll prove you wrong all the way
Life teaches me you're always alone

Don't, don't believe what you
see
Don't, don't believe what read
No!!!

Bad Religion
The Gray Race (1996)
Punk Rock Song

have you been to the desert?
have you walked with the dead?
there's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread
and the figures don't lie they speak of human disease
but we do what we want and we think what we please

have you lived the experience?
have you witnessed the plague?
people making babies sometimes just to escape
in this land of competition the compassion is gone
yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on
we keep pushing on

this is just a punk rock song
written for the people who can see something's wrong
like ants in a colony we do our share
but there's so many other ****in' insects out there
and this is just a punk rock song
(like workers in a company we do our share
but there's so many other ****in' robots out there)

have you visited the quagmire?
have you swam in the ****?
the party conventions and the real politik
the faces always different, the rhetoric the same
but we swallow it, and we see nothing change
nothing has changed...

10 million dollars on a losing campaign
20 million starving and writhing in pain
big strong people unwilling to give
small in vision and perspective
one in five kids below the poverty line
one population runnin' out of time

Indeed so. Taken from my favorite TAB site

*Intro*
(Spoken... music creeps in towards the end...)
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
And things seem sad or tough
And people are useless, or obnoxious, or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enough... (G)

(played in a simple bass-note/chord form in 4)

*Verse I*
G....G7
Just re-
C
member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
C..................................G
revolving at nine-hundred miles an hour
G7
and orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
....................................C
a sun that is the source of all our power.
C
Now the sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
A7...........................F
Are moving a million miles a day
F7...............................C
In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour
G7..............................C
of the galaxy we call the Milky Way.

(chords same for all verses)

*Verse II*
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars,
it's a hundred thousand light-years side to side,
it bulges in the middle, sixty thousand light-years thick,
but out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.
We're thiry thousand light-years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
and our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions in this
Amazing and Expanding Universe!

Break -- odd animations...

*Verse III*
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
in all of the directions it can whiz,
as fast as it can go, the speed of light, y'know,
twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is,
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth.

You Stole The Sun From My Heart


Drinking - water to stay thin
Or is it to purify
I love you all the same

But there's no - no real truce with my fury
You don't have to believe me
I love you all the same

But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from

You have - broken through my armour
And I don't have an answer
I love you all the same

I paint - the things I want to see
But it don't come easy
I love you all the same

But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from

Think I'm - I'm lost among the undergrowth
So much so I woke up
I love you all the same

But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my
You stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from

I have - I've got to stop smiling
It gives the wrong impression
I love you all the same

Genesis again.

Burning Rope
The warming sun, the cooling rain,
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.
Ther words of love, the cries of hate,
And the man in the moon who seduced you
Then finally loosed you.

You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the mob below,
But you had put the flaming out so that others could not follow,
To be out of the bounds and the barks of those who do not wish you well.
You must blaze a trail of your own, unknown, alone,
But keep in mind
Don't live to-day for tomorrow like you were immortal.
The only survivors on this world of ours are
The warming sun etc.

You're old
and disillusioned now as you realise at last,
That all all you have accomplished here will have soon all turned to dust.
You dream of a future after life, well that's a maybe, I don't know.
But you cant take what you left behind, you're all alone.
So keep in mind
Don't live to-day for tomorrow like you were immortal.
The only survivors on this world of ours are

The warming sun etc.

And something quite different!

Vangelis with:

Counquest of Paradise (yes, there are a few lyrics )
In noreni per-i-pe,
in noremi co-ra,
tira mine per-i-to,

In romine tir-meno,

imaginas pro-me-no

"Grace is Gone" by Dave Matthews Band -

Neon shines through smokey eyes tonight
It's 2 A.M., I'm drunk again
It's heavy on my mind

I could never love again
So much as I love you
Where you end, where I begin
Is like a river running through

Take my heart, take my eyes
I need them no more
If never again they fall
Upon the one I so adore...

Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong?
'Cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I'll be gone

One drink to remember
Then another to forget
I think of every day to find
A love like you again

One drink to remember
And another to forget

Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong?
'Cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I'll be gone
One more drink and I'll move on

You think of things impossible
Then the sun refuse to shine
I woke with you beside me
Your cold hand lay in mine

Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong?
'Cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I'll go...

Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong?
'Cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I'll move on
One more drink and I'll move on
One more drink, my grace is gone.

The Logical Song by Supertramp
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Hot dawg! I saw someone perform that on the Gong Show long, long ago (must have been the mid-70's, the Gong Show hasn't even existed since then). I thought I was the only person in the world who remembered it.

In the same vein, the World's Shortest Love Song:

If I gave my heart to you,
I'll have none
And you'll have two.

Mule skinner blues

 

[magic-monkey]

ballad of a thin man, the only Bob Dylan song to include the word "midget", i believe. Also some of us will like the subject matter; Bob cusses liberal intellectuals:

You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard
But you don't understand
Just what you'll say
When you get home

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

You raise up your head
And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says
"It's his"
And you say, "What's mine?"
And somebody else says, "Where what is?"
And you say, "Oh my God
Am I here all alone?"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel
To be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible"
As he hands you a bone

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations

You've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read
It's well known

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, "Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin' around
You should be made
To wear earphones

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

MARCH OF THE PIGS (Nine Inch Nails)

step right up march push
crawl right up on your knees
please greed feed (no time to hesitate)
I want a little bit I want a piece of it
I think he's losing it
I want to watch it come down

don't like the look of it
don't like the taste of it
don't like the smell of it
I want to watch it come down

all the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
take the skin and peel it back
now doesn't that make you feel better?
shove it up inside surprise! lies
stains like the blood on your teeth
bite chew suck away the tender parts

I want to break it up
I want to smash it up
I want to **** it up
I want to watch it come down

maybe afraid of it let's discredit it let's pick away at it
I want to watch it come down
now doesn't that make you feel better?
the pigs have won tonight
now they can all sleep soundly
and everything is all right



GAVE UP (Nine Inch Nails)

perfect little dream the kind that hurts the most
forgot how it feels well almost
no one to blame always the same
open my eyes wake up in flames

it took you to make me realize?
it took you to make me see the light

smashed up my sanity
smashed up my integrity
smashed up what I believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true

gonna smash myself to pieces
I don't know what else to do
covered in hope and vaseline
still cannot fix this broken machine
watching the hole it used to be mine
just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
of the trust I will betray
give it to me I throw it away
after everything i've done I hate myself for what i've become
I tried
I gave up
throw it away



WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER (Nine Inch Nails)

I've become impossible
holding on to when
when everything seemed to matter more
the two of us
all used and beaten up
watching fate as it flow down the path we
have chose

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
they pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in
well they've got to kill what we've found
well they've got to hate what we fear
well they've got to make it go away
well they've got to make it disappear

the farther I fall I'm beside you
as lost as I get I will find you
the deeper the wound I'm inside you
for ever and ever I'm a part of

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

all that we were is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone we have to hold on
when all our hope is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone but we can hold on

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
even after everything
you're the queen and I'm the king
nothing else means anything



MR. SELF DESTRUCT (also Nine Inch Nails)

I am the voice inside your head and I control you
I am the lover in your bed and I control you
I am the sex that you provide and I control you
I am the hate you try to hide and I control you

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
mr self destruct

I speak religion's message clear and I control you
I am denial guilt and fear and I control you
I am the prayers of the naive and I control you
I am the lie that you believe and I control you

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
mr self destruct

I am the needle in your vein and I control you
I am the high you can't sustain and I control you
I am the pusher i'm a whore and I control you
I am the need you have for more and I control you

I am the bullet in the gun and I control you
I am the truth from which you run and I control you
I am the silencing machine and I control you
I am the end of all your dreams and I control you

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
mr self destruct

Little Arrows

There's a boy, a little boy shootin' arrows in the blue
and he's aiming them at someone
but the question is at who.
Is it me or is it you?
It's hard to tell until you're hit
but you'll know it when they hit you
cos' they hurt a little bit


Here they come falling out of the blue.
Little arrows for me and for you.
You're falling in love again, falling in love again.
Little arrows in your clothing
little arrows in your hair
when you 're in love you'll find
those little arrows everywhere.
Little arrows that will hit you once
and hit you once again
Little arrows that hit ev'rybody, ev'ry now and then.


Wow oh oh the pain.


Some folk a-run and others hide
but there is nothing they can do
and some folk put on amour
but the arrows go straight thru'.
So you see, there's no escape
so why not face it and admit
that you love those little arrows
when they hurt a little bit.

Here they come falling out of the blue .......

Matthew Good Band - Load Me Up

Picture yourself
sleeping on a plane
there's something ticking in the overhead
and inside your brains
there's bodies in the water
and bodies in the basement
if heaven's for clean people, it's vacant
and hey are you know?
and hey are you being careful?
and hey are you luke warm?
hey ya you are

i'm frantic
so load me up
whatever puts me all the way out

picture yourself swimming in an ocean
a million miles from nowhere and the nearest phone
there's bodies in the water
floating all around you
and all of them are talking, and they're comedians
and hey are you you know?
and hey are you special?
and hey are you deformed?
hey ya you are

i'm frantic
so load me up
it seems so practiced
me ****ing this up
whatever puts me all the way out

picture yourself at the MGM grand
one night only, murphy vs. hokem
you're in the stands
there's somebody in the water
in the middle of the ocean
a million miles from nowhere
and they're alone
i'm there alone
so, so deformed

i'm frantic
so load me up
this seems so practiced
so take me all the way out
whatever puts me all the way out
