@ Yom: I didn't run and DJ a funk night in London for 1.5 years for being a music dunce you know dude! (In fact I am still 'at large')

Now these lyrics have attitude. But who is the last verse about?

"Jumping Jack Flash" ~ (jagger/richards)

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas!
But it’s all right. I’m jumpin’ jack flash,
It’s a gas! gas! gas!


I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back, <<<< Rough and ruggid man .
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas!
But it’s all right, I’m jumpin’ jack flash,
It’s a gas! gas! gas!

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas!
But it’s all right, I’m jumpin’ jack flash,
It’s a gas! gas! gas!

Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash

Now these lyrics have attitude. But who is the last verse about?

For who knows something about that band it's too easy so somebody else can answer but here's another one from them and my favourite.

Rolling Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no satisfaction.
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm drivin' in my car
and that man comes on the radio
and he's tellin' me more and more
about some useless information
supposed to fire my imagination.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no satisfaction.
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm watchin' my TV
and that man comes on to tell me
how white my shirts can be.
Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
the same cigarrettes as me.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no girl with action.
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm ridin' round the world
and I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
and I'm tryin' to make some girl
who tells me baby better come back later next week
'cause you see I'm on losing streak.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no, I can't get no,
I can't get no satisfaction,
no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction.

 

[Yom]

@King Alexander: That was gonna be my next one!

@Sickman: That's also on my playlist (near the end, where I'm actually listening)!

Some more '60s/'70s

Buffalo Springfield - For what it's worth

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Nobody Home

(Waters) 3:25




"Alright, I'll take care of them part of the time, but there's somebody else that needs taking care of in Washington"
"Who's that?"
"Rose Pilchitt!"
"Rose Pilchitt? Who's that?"
[Kid screams in background. foreground: "Shut Up!"]
"36-24-36 [laughter] does that answer your question?"
[foreground: "Oi! I've got a little black book with me poems in!"]
"Who's she?"
"She was 'Miss Armoured Division' in 1961 ... "

I've got a little black book with my poems in.
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in.
When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in.

I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on.
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of **** on the T.V. to choose from.
I've got electric light.
And I've got second sight.
And amazing powers of observation.
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home.

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm.
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favorite satin shirt.
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers.
I've got a silver spoon on a chain.
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.

I've got wild staring eyes.
And I've got a strong urge to fly.
But I got nowhere to fly to.
Ooooh, Babe when I pick up the phone

"Surprise, surprise, surprise..." (from Gomer Pyle show)

There's still nobody home.

I've got a pair of Gohills boots
and I got fading roots.

"Where the hell are you?"
"Over 47 german planes were destroyed with the loss of only 15 of our own aircraft"
"Where the hell are you Simon?"
[Machine gun sound, followed by plane crashing]

Don't Stay--Linkin Park

Sometimes I
Need to Remember just to breathe
Sometimes I
Need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I'm
In disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
Need you to go

Don't stay
Forget our Memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
[Just gime me myself back and]
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
[Just give me myself back and]
Don't stay

Sometimes I
Feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I
Just feel Like screaming at myself
Sometimes I'm
In disbief I didn't know
Somehow I
Need to be alone

Don't stay
Forget our Memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
[Just gime me myself back and]
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
[Just give me myself back and]
Don't stay

I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day
Of you wasting me away

I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day
Of you wasting me away

With no apologies

Don't stay
Forget our Memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
[Just gime me myself back and]
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
[Just give me myself back and]
Don't stay

[Rambuchan]

For what it's worth - now that's a song. I must have about 8 -10 versions of that and they are all 'arresting' (and yes one of those versions is by Cher, a yong funky one that is). And Satisfaction is of course brillaint.

I am going to weigh in with a heavy weight reggae tune before I hit the sack. This one tune has blown more sound systems than all the others I have ever blown systems with (I tend not to do it anymore). Anyone heard it? You're gonna have to get some translators onto it to unlock those Kaballic secrets :

Faint--Linkin Park

I am
Little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
A handful of complaints
But i can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am
What I want you to want
What I want you to feel
But it's like
No matter what I do
I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all I got

I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I am
A little bit insecure
Alittle unconfident
'Cause you don't understand
I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am
What you never want to say
But I've never had a doubt
It's Like no matter what I do
I can't convice you
For once just to hear me out
So I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all I got

I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

No
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right now

I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

War - Why Can't We Be Friends

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I seen you 'round for a long long time
I really 'membered you when you drink my wine

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I bring my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?




The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I'd kinda like to be the President
so I can show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Sometimes I don't speak too bright
but yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I know you're working for the CIA
they wouldn't have you in the Mafia

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Working Class Hero - John Lennon


As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so ****ing crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still ****ing peasants as far as i can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

Flagpole Sitta - Harvey Danger

I had visions I was in them
I was looking into the mirror
To see a little bit clearer
The rottenness and evil in me
Fingertips have memories
Mine can't forget the curves of your body
And when I feel a bit naughty
I run it up the flagpole and see
Who salutes but no one ever does

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot
'Cause I'm in hell

Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a TV
Put me in the hospital for nerves
And then they had to commit me
You told them all I was crazy
They cut off my legs
Now I'm an amputee god damn you

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot
Cause I'm in hell

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And it's a sin
To live so well

I want to publish 'zines
And rage against machines
I wanna peirce my tongue
It doesn't hurt it feels fine
The trivial sublime
I'd like to turn off time
And kill my mind
And kill my mind

Paranoia paranoia
Everybody's coming to get me
Just say you never met me
I'm running under ground with the moles digging holes
Hear the voices in my head
I swear to god it sounds like they're snoring
But if you're bored then you're boring
The agony and the irony they're killing me

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot
'Cause I'm in hell

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And it's a sin
To live this well

Dream Theater--Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

1. OVERTURE
(instrumental)

2. ABOUT TO CRASH
She can't stop pacing, she never felt so alive
Her thoughts are racing, set on overdrive
It takes a village, this she knows is true
They're expecting her and she's got work to do

He helplessly stands by, it's meaningless to try
As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes
He says, "I've never seen her get this bad."
Even though she seems so high, he knows that she can't fly
& when she falls out of the sky he'll be standing by

She was raised in a small midwestern town
by a charming & eccentric loving father
She was praised as the perfect teenage girl
& everyone thought highly of her

& she tried everyday with endless drive to make the grade
Then one day she woke up to find the perfect girl had lost her mind
Once barely taking a break, now she sleeps the days away
She helplessly stands by, it's meaningless to try
All she wants to do is cry, no one ever knew she was so sad

'cause even though she gets so high & thinks that she can fly
She will fall out of the sky, but in the face of misery
She found hopefulness, feeling better--she had weathered this depression

Much to her advantage she resumed her frantic pace
Boundless power, midnight hour--she enjoyed the race

3. WAR INSIDE MY HEAD
Napalm showers showed the cowards we weren't there to mess around
Through heat exhaustion & mind distortion,
a military victory mounted on innocent ground

Hearing voices from miles away saying things never said
Seeing shadows in the light of day waging war inside my head

Years & years of bloodshed & warfare, our mission was only to get in & kill
A free vacation of palm trees & shrapnel,
trading innocence for pure psychotic hell

Hearing voices from miles away saying things never said
Seeing shadows in the light of day waging war inside my head
Feeling strangers staring my way, reading minds never read
Tasting danger with each word I say, waging war inside my head.

4. THE TEST THAT STUMPED THEM ALL
Standing in the darkness, waiting for the light
the smell of pure adrenaline burning in the night
Random blinding flashes aiming at the stage
Intro tape begins to roll igniting sonic rage

Still they keep me between these hollow walls
Hoping to find in me the answers to the test that stumped them all

"The boy is just simply crazy, suffering from delusions.
We honestly think that maybe he might need an institution.
He lives in a world of fiction & really could use some help.
We have just the place to fix him to save him from himself."

Curled up in the darkness, searching for the light
The smell of stale sweat & **** steaming thru the night
Random urine testing; pills red, pink, & blue
Counseling & therapy providing not a clue

Still they keep me between these hollow walls
Hoping to find in me the answers to the test that stumped them all

"We can't seem to find the answers, he seemed such a clear-cut case
we can't just let him leave here & put all this work to waste.
Why don't we try shock treatment, it really might do some help
We have just the tools to fix him, to save him from himself."

5. GOODNIGHT KISS
Goodnight kiss in your nightgown, lavender in your bed
So innocent as you lie down, sweet dreams that run thru your head
Are you lonely without Mommy's love?
I want you to know I'd die for that moment
You're just a poor girl afraid of this cruel world--taken away from it all.

It's been 5 years to the day & my tainted blood's still the same
I can't help acting this way & those bastard doctors are gonna pay
I'm so lonely without baby's love--I want you to know
that I'd die for one more moment
I'm just a poor girl afraid of this cruel world--taken away from it all

6. SOLITARY SHELL
He seemed no different from the rest, just a healthy normal boy
His mama always did her best & he was daddy's pride & joy
He learned to walk & talk on time but never cared much to be held
& steadily he would decline into his solitary shell
As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
kept to himself most of the time
He would daydream in & out of his own world
But in every other way he was fine.

He's a Monday morning lunatic, disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself in his solitary shell

A temporary catatonic, madman on occasion
When will he break out of his solitary shell?

He struggled to get thru his day, he was hopelessly behind
He poured himself onto the page, writing for hours at a time
As a man he was a danger to himself, fearful & sad most of the time
he was drifting in & out of sanity, but in every other way he was fine

He's a Monday morning lunatic, disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself in his solitary shell
A momentary maniac with casual delusions
When will he be let out of his solitary shell?

7. ABOUT TO CRASH (REPRISE)
I'm alive again, the darkness far behind me
I'm invincible, despair will never find me
I feel strong, I've got a new sense of elation
Boundless energy, euphoria fixation

Still it's hard to just get by,
it seems so meaningless to try
When all I want to do is cry
Who would ever know I feel so sad?
Even though I get so high, I know that I will never fly
& when I fall out of the sky, who will be standing by?

Will you be standing by?

8. LOSING TIME/GRAND FINALE
She dresses in black everyday
she keeps her hair simple & plain
she never wears makeup
but no one would care if she did anyway

She doesn't recall yesterday
faces seem twisted & strange
but she always wakes up
only to find she's been miles away

absence of awareness, losing time
a lapse of perception, losing time

wanting to escape, she had created a way to survive
she learned to detach from herself,
a behavior that kept her alive

Hope in the face of our human distress
helps us to understand the turbulence deep inside
that takes hold of our lives.
Shame & disgrace over mental unrest
keeps us from saving those we love.
The grace within our hearts & the sorrow in our souls
Deception of fame, vengeance of war,
lives torn apart, losing oneself, spiraling down
Feeling the walls closing in, a journey to find
the answers inside our illusive mind.

I'm sorry I'm breaking the two post rule, but this is too good to pass up!

Btw, this band Threebrain is sooooo funny. Read this song it is hilarious.

Duadenum - Threebrain

One two, one two
I'm running in the street
Thinking of you
Take off your shirt
And show me something
Something delicious
Something I can play with in my tongue
Like your bung
I was eatin' a burrito
It was so ****ing yummy
Now gotta push it out of my duadenum
It felt runny

Duadenum, duadenum, duadenum
Duadenum, duadenum, duadenum
Duadenum, duadenum, duadenum

Sometimes I need to help it along with my finger

Duadenum (a few more times)

I'm a duadenum fairy gonna give you a dollar
If you put your s**t under your pillow sweety
I wanna hug you in the duadenum hole

Ramses Bringer Of War - By NILE

Wretched Fallen ones of Khatti
Raise against the oppressing Sword
Encircled Abandoned Alone
I Smite the vile Hittite Foe

My Father Amon what carest Thee
For the Vile and Ignorant of God
My Father Amon what carest Thee
For these Effeminate ones

At millions of whom I groweth not Pale
Raging like Menthu like Baal in his Hour
Lo the mighty Sekhmet is with Me
I enter in among them even as a hawk striketh

I slay I hew to pieces and cast to the ground
The royal snake upon my brow
Spits forth Fire in the face of mine enemies
And Burneth their Limbs

My Chariot Wheels trample the Fallen
Cut to pieces before my Steeds
And laying
In their own Blood

I Crush the Skulls of the Dying
And Sever the Hands of the Slain
I Ramses
Builder of Temples

Usurper of Monuments

Slayer of Hittites

Bringer of War

 

[Bartleby]

In Heaven from David Lynch's film Eraserhead

In heaven, everything is fine (x3)
You've got your good thing, and I've got mine
In heaven, everything is fine (x3)
You've got a good, good thing, and you've got mine
In heaven, everything is fine
In heaven
In heaven, everything is fine
You've got a good, good thing, and you've got mine
In heaven, everything is fine

 

[King Alexander]

Alexander The Great by Iron Maiden

[(Harris) 8:35]

"My son ask for thyself another
Kingdom, for that which I leave
is too small for thee"
(King Philip of Macedonia - 339 B.C.)

Near to the east
In a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son
To Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was Alexander

At the age of nineteen
He became the Macedon King
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegian Sea
In 334 B.C.
He utterly beat the armies of Persia

[Chorus:]
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men

King Darius the third
Defeated fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria

By the Tigris river
He met King Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Susa, treasures he found
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia

[Chorus:]
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a God amongst mortal men

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot'
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia

Hellenism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity

Marching on, marching on
The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon

This is fun ... now the most famous of the below mentioned band ...

Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't) Fear the Reaper

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind the sun or the rain (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared (saying don't be afraid)
Come on baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
