Well I haven't heard that version, but I have heard a cover of it by a band called Fozzy. It is a good song. Speaking of Fozzy I'll add one of their songs

To Kill a Stranger by Fozzy

I'm drowning and the shadows are creeping my mind
And it's hard to escape when there's no place left for... me to hide

And I keep on running from the blood on my hands
The battle is won, but will it ever end

Who am I to kill a stranger, after all that we've been through
Who am I to kill a stranger, after all that we've been through

Darkness has engulfed all the life in my life.
And my thirst to kill has grown stronger... over time

And I keep on running from the blood on my hands
The battle is won, but will it ever end

Who am I to kill a stranger, after all that we've been through
Who am I to kill a stranger, after all that we've been through
Who am I to kill a stranger, the truth you always knew
Who am I to kill a stranger, after all that we've been through

<guitar break>

It's the fever that yearns for the thrill of the kill

And I keep on running from the blood on my hands
The battle is won, but will it ever end

Who am I to kill a stranger, after all that we've been through
Who am I to kill a stranger, after all that we've been through
Who am I to kill a stranger, the truth you always knew
Who am I to kill a stranger, now I'm killing you

We're Not Gonna Take It
The Who

Tommy: Welcome to the Camp,
I guess you all know why we're here.
My name is Tommy
and I became aware this year

If you want to follow me,
you've got to play pinball.
And put in your earplugs
put on your eyeshades
you know where to put the cork

Hey you getting drunk, so sorry!
I've got you sussed.
Hey you smoking Mother Nature!
This is a bust!
Hey hung up old Mr. Normal,
Don't try to gain my trust!
'Cause you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways
Although you think you must

Guests:
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take it
Gonna break it, gonna shake it,
let's forget it better still

Tommy: Now you can't hear me,
your ears are truly sealed.
You can't speak either,
your mouth is filled.
You can't see nothing,
and pinball completes the scene.
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to
Your very own machine.

Guests:
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don't want no religion
And as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take you
We forsake you
Gonna rape you
Let's forget you better still.

Tommy:
See me.
Feel me.
Touch me.
Heal me.

Listening to you,
I get the music.
Gazing at you,
I get the heat.
Following you,
I climb the mountains.
I get excitement at your feet.

Right behind you,
I see the millions.
On you,
I see the glory.
From you,
I get opinions.
From you,
I get the story.

Freebird
Lynyrd Skynyrd

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.

God bless Ronnie Van Zant!

"Girl from the North Country"
- Bob Dylan

If you're travellin' in the north country fair
where the winds hit heavy on the borderline.
Remember me, to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

See for me, that her hair hangs long.
That it curls and falls, all down her breast.
See for me, that her hair is hangin' down.
For that's the way, I remember her best.

If you go, in a snowflake storm.
When rivers freeze and summer ends.
See for me that she's wearing a coat so warm
To keep her from the howling wind.

If you're travellin' in the north country fair
where the winds hit heavy on the borderline.
Remember me, to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

I'm wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times, I've often prayed.
In the darkness of my light.
In the brightness of my day.

So, if you're travellin' in the north country fair
where the winds hit heavy on the borderline.
Remember me, to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

No Surprises
Radiohead
A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent silence.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Bad Religion

Looking In:

suddenly, it came to me,
a potent damage of reality,
i saw myself in the broad daylight
and it made me think about life,
I'm not the kinda guy who nods his head
with closed eyes,
I scoff at labels,
I defy censuses and despise group mentality
all along I thought that this was only human
but I know now that I'm in the minority
I'm lookin in

now I think in relation to,
my fellow man and what he strives to do,
we fail to see,
there's no compromise,
our evolution is our demise,
one day you may find,
that you are also one of me,
a microcosm of the human race,
observing those around us desiring to belong
behind the guise of salvation,
we suffer along the way,
we're lookin'in

=======================

Bad Religion

Don't Pray On Me

a grizzly scene on my electron beam
told a story about human rights,
so all of kings horses
and all of kings men had a riot
for two days and nights
well, the city exploded
but the gates wouldn't open
so the company asked him to quit
now everybody's equal
just don't measure it

well hanson did it to hester
and mark david did it to john
and maybe jack did it to marilyn
but he did it to south vietnam
for beauty and glory
for money, love and country
everybody's doing it,
don't do that to me

a bitter debate and a feminine fate
lie in tandem like two precious babes
while the former gets warmer
it's the latter that matters
except on the nation's airwaves
and custodians of public opinion
stayed back after vainly discussing her rights
lay hands off her body
it's not your ****ing life!

I don't know what stopped
Jesus Christ from turning
every hungry stone into bread
and I don't remember hearing how Moses
reacted when the innocent first born sons lay dead
well I guess God was a lot more demonstrative back when
he flamboyantly parted the sea,
now everybody's praying,
don't pray on me

"The Wall" (Kansas)

I'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now
Has led me to a wall
And with each passing day
I feel a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me
A dark and silent barrier between
All I am
And all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty
Towering
Marking off the boundaries my spirit
Would erase

To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through
To glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting
Like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece
The weight of indecision's in the air
Standing there
The symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty
Towering
Blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see

Gold and diamonds cast a spell
It's not for me I know it well
The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure
In the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am
And all that I was ever meant to be
In harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
There is no loss

I don't know what the moderator meant, but:

Lighning's Hand
by Kansas

Do you see me? Do you know my position?
How quick is your eye?
I have no home, no reason to rome,
Yet I travel the length of the sky.
I touch my fingers, turning icy white
'Til my energy's on the ground.
My touch is swift, forces fear,
For I convey it without a sound.
I live to free the skies from everyone.
Watch me run.

North wind rises, old man's eyes
Widen completely as he locks his door.
He knows the fear when I'm too near him,
He's seen me angry before.
Looking through the clouds' aproaches,
I release a destructive blow.
All the crashing, all the flashing light
Rains terror upon my foes.
I fight with force and power for my land.
I command the lightning's hand!

Run for cover.
Oh, your life is in vain if you try to escape me!
All goodbye.
You won't be well!
Who's gonna save you, 'cause I'm gonna break you!!
I hear them moan. I hear them weep.
'Cause they fear I belong to the Devil!!
They feel the pain and will again
'Til they stop reaching out for this level!!
No one can defeat me no one can!!
I command the lightning's hand.
I command the lightning's hand!
I command the lightning's hand!!
I COMMAND THE LIGHTNING'S HAND!!!

Not thought provoking, but play it in front of your troops and watch them turn into berserkers to the horror of your enemies.

(I still can't believe the somewhat sweet and kind of gentel boys of Kansas came up with this one.)

TIRED OF ME by David Gray

Don’t know where you’re goin but it seems like a mighty long way now
Don’t know where you’re goin but it seems like a mighty long time
Since I seen your face so I dream and I’ll dream of that day now
I see you comin honey with that sunny sky

Everywhere I go everything that I do and I say now
Nothing ringin true it don’t matter how hard that I try
Cuz all I want is you so I wish and I wish and I pray now
I see you comin honey with that sunny sky

Every night when I go out
Get drunk til I fall down
Bury my head I don’t want to see
Then I‘m getting nowhere and time is dragging so slowly
So tired now honey, so tired of me

I don’t need you to say that you’ll stay with me baby forever
I don’t need you to tell me you’ll harden your soul around mine
It’s okay with me you can smile say nothing whatever
I see you smilin honey and we’re doin fine

Every night when I go out
Get drunk til I fall down
Bury my head I don’t want to see
Then I’m getting nowhere and time is dragging so slowly
So tired now honey so tired of me

As Time Goes By - Herman Hupfeld

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by


Here's looking at you, kid...


Falling in Love Again - F. Hollander and S. Leber

Failing in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it as I may
I was born that way
Can't help it

Men flock around me
Like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame

Failing in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it as I may
I was born that way
Can't help it

Men flock around me
Like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame



We'll Meet Again

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
Keep smiling through, just like you always do,
'till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away!

So, will you please say hello to the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long!
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go,
I was singin' this song:

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!

So, will you please say hello to the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long!
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go . . .
I was singin' this song:

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!

We'll meet again, we'll meet again . . .

Freedom Of Speech Won't Feed My Children - Manic Street Preachers


Liberty sweet liberty
Charitable respectability
Then pacifism killed us all
For all the tourists on the Berlin Wall
So we protest about human rights
Worship obesity as our birthright
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
We love to to kiss the Dalai Lama's ass
Because he is such a holy man
Free to eat and buy anything
Free to **** from Paris to Beijing
Little boys with dangerous toys
All bow down to the Beastie Boys
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Royalty - hereditary - unelected and becalmed
Just like Stalin - just like Stalin
Human and useless
Bomb the Chinese Embassy
The west is free, oh the west is free
Laugh at the hammer and stickle
It is antique, oh it is antique
And see the love in Richard Gere's eyes
JS Pemberton saved our lives
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

I know a song that will get on yer nerves, get on yer nerves, get on yer nerves.

I know a song that will get on yer nerves, get on yer nerves, get on yer nerves.
I know a song that will get on yer nerves, get,get, get on yer nerves.

Angie, Rolling Stones

Oh, Angie, Oh, Angie, when will those dark clouds disappear
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried

Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said goodbye
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried

All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said goodbye

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But angie, I still love you baby, ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you, come on baby, dry your eyes

But Angie, Angie ain't it good to be alive
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried

Gimme Shelter, Rolling Stones

Oh a storm is threat'ning my very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

See the fire sweepin' out very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet, mad bull lost its way

War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

Rape! Murder! It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape! Murder! It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

The floods is threat'ning my very life today.
Gimme, gimme shelter or I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

Love, sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away

Hearbreaker (Doo Doo Doo), Rollign Stones

The police in New York City,
they chased a boy right through the park.
And in a case of mistaken identity
the put a bullet through his heart.

Heart breakers with your forty four,
I wanna tear your world apart,
you heart breaker with your forty four,
I wanna tear your world a part.

A ten year old girl on a street corner,
Sticking needles in her arm.
She died in the dirt of an alleyway,
her mother said she had no chance, no chance!
Heart breaker, heart breaker,
she stuck the pins right in her heart.
Heart breaker, pain maker,
stole the love right out of you heart.

Heart breaker, heart breaker,
you stole the love right out of my heart.
Heart breaker, heart breaker,
I wanna tear your world apart.

Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo...

Damn, the Stones wrote alot of songs. Just noticed this as I looked through the list.

Behind The Crooked Cross, Slayer

Time melts away in this living inferno,
Trapped by a cause that I once understood.
Feeling a sickness building inside of me,
Who will I really have to answer to.

March on through the rivers of red.
Souls drift, they fill the air.
Forced to fight, behind,
The crooked cross.

Do only what is expected of me,
With no emotions my feelings suppressed.
Blind obedience carries me through it all.
Conscience a word I learned to forget.

March on through the rivers of red.
Flesh burns, it fills the air.
Forced to fight, behind,
The crooked cross.

In honor of today being the start of the new NHL season, I bring to you...

The Good Ole Hockey Game
by Stompin Tom Connor

Hello out there, we're on the air
It's Hockey night tonight
The tension grows, the whistle blows
And the puck goes down the ice

The goalie jumps and the players bump
The fans all go insane
The home crowd roars, Bobby scores
At the good old Hockey game

Oh! The good old Hockey game
Is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name
Is the good old Hockey game!

Second period
Where players dash with skates a flash
The home team trails behind
But they grab the puck and go bursting up
And they're down across the line

They storm the crease like bumble bees
They travel like a burning plane
We see them slide the puck inside
It's a one-one hockey game

Oh! The good old Hockey game
Is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name
Is the good old Hockey game!

Third period, last game of the playoffs too!
Oh take me where the hockey players
Face-off down the rink
And the Stanley Cup is all filled up
For the champs who win the drink

Now the final flick of a hockey stick
And on one gigantic screen
Well the puck is in - the home team wins
That good old hockey game

Oh! The good old Hockey game
Is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name
Is the good old Hockey game!

Grave New World
By RITUAL CARNAGE

Welcome to life, it’s your first day on earth, and debt has already incurred

The taxman comes knocking, it’s old Uncle Sam, his way of life must be procured

Pay or imprisonment, you have no choice, tyranny’s supply and demand

Governmental monopolies, Big Brother’s robbing me,

Greed only kills in the end

Gun control measures, our right to bear arms, inalienable rights in decline

Hook, line and sinkered, your faith in our leaders, their false hope and lies stand confined

America’s drowning, with lawsuits conspiring, common sense meets its demise

Political overkill, favors left to fulfill, rebellions beginning to rise

Life on my knees, they do as they please, in this brave new world

Who can you trust, life is unjust, in this grave new world

Too much control, reality’s hold, in this brave new world

Monetary greed, surrounded by thieves, in this grave new world

For life and liberty, you must play their game, Revolution? No point things will stay the same

A no win battle, everyone will lose

No point in voting, no candidate to choose

Independence from their dependent ways

The I.R.S. and all its red tape

Big government is robbing you and me

Democracy it kills, why can’t you see?!

Open your mouth, it may just mean your death

Retaliation is all they know, they’ll get you next

Punished for your point of view, free speech a myth

Finger points at you, removal is swift

Guilty of innocence, your life is no more

Judicial intervention, due process is ignored

Stolen identity, your past is erased

All previous signs of life are but a trace

Brave New World, Grave New World

Screw your Brave New World!

Into the grave, New World!
