Ok - as Im the only one posting here, thisll be my last unless someone wants to join in

Napoleon XIV - Theyre Coming To Take Me Away

Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because Id go berserk?.....Well...
You left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see Ive gone completely out of my mind.....and...

Theyre coming to take me away, ha ha!  Theyre coming to take me away ho ho, he he, ha ha
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time and Ill be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and theyre coming to take me away, ha ha!

You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed, when I had said that losing you would make me flip my lid.....right?
I know you laughed, I heard you laugh!  You laughed and laughed and laughed and then you left and now you know Im utterly mad...and...

Theyre coming to take me away, ha ha!  Theyre coming to take me away ho ho, he he, ha ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and theyre coming to take me away, ha ha!

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house and this is how you pay me back for all my kind, unselfish, loving deeds.....huh?...
Well, you just wait!  Theyll find you yet!  And when they do theyll put you in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!.....and...

Theyre coming to take me away, ha ha!  Theyre coming to take me away ho ho, he he, ha ha
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time and Ill be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and theyre coming to take me away, ha ha!
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and theyre coming to take me away, ha ha!

(Does my knowing these lyrics by heart prove something?)

[Celery Peach]

What do you see in the dark
When the demons come for you

If only you could have seen
How ****** ( Ed Bot! ) up my life used to be
Then everything starts to change
Supposedly healing my pain
I never thought I'd feel this way
I never thought that I'd see a day
I'd run away from anything or anywhere or anyone
Its all these demons haunting me
Its all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin
Its taken me all my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again

And now I look through my minds eye
And see where my past needs to rest
Its always disturbed by these voices
That echo inside of my head
Another way that I can hide
Another reason to crawl inside and get away
From everything and everywhere and everyone
No!
Its all these demons haunting me
Its all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin

Its taken me all my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons......again

Facin the days as I grow into my own
Loving and hatings the same
And three-fold I told you
It comes back with laughter
Over and over again
Its coming back

Its taken me all my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again

Cheerful soul aint I ?   Releasing the demons ~ Godsmack

[GuzziHeroV50]

Im gonna try and download that one

Boa - Duvet (Serial Experiments Lain theme)

And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading,
I have lost it all

And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame that I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candle-lit smile that we both share
And you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning,
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe

(Yes its a girls song but I just love it Even if youre not an anime fan, I urge you to download this - its gorgeous)

[Celery Peach]

  Guzz,

There all in my files at 'the other place'   Let me know & I'll connect up, pretty easy to get tho, its off the latest Godsmack album. If I catch you on there I might just have to leech that last one from you  

ok, put your mindset to having a few tooo many beers

Tom Waits The Piano has been Drinking (Not Me)  

The piano has been drinking, my necktie is asleep
And the combo went back to New York, the jukebox has to take a leak
And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break
And the telephone's out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...

And the menus are all freezing, and the light man's blind in one eye
And he can't see out of the other
And the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid, and he showed up with his mother
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
As the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler cream-puff casper milktoast
And the owner is a mental midget with the I.Q. of a fence post
'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...

And you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your friends and you just can't get served without her
And the box-office is drooling, and the bar stools are on fire
And the newspapers were fooling, and the ash-trays have retired
'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking, not me, not me, not me, not me, not me

[GuzziHeroV50]

Im getting it on WinMX, thanks

[Celery Peach]

  Hope you like it Guzz  

Ok, another love song...from NIN...were in this together

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

Releasing the demons sounds like good-era Pantera

[Andy50]

Andy shows his mushy side....
                                 
                       Send me the pillow.
                       The one that you dream on.
                       Send me the pillow.
                       The one that you dream on.
                       And i`ll send you mine.

                                The Smiths-Some girls are bigger than others

[GuzziHeroV50]

My kind of a love song is marian above or this:

Walk Away - The Sisters Of Mercy

And in the summer when the clouds show through, I might go the same way too if you and I could talk together...
Well what am I supposed to do with
You and I could walk together then, with 'always' close around and now you gaze towards the doorway
When the weather comes falling down

And when the rain comes down
Would your choose to walk or stay?
Would you choose to walk, would you choose to stay?
Would you walk, walk, walk, walk away?

And when the rain comes down
Would your choose to walk or stay?
Would you choose to walk, would you choose to stay?
Would you walk, walk, walk, walk away?

And when the day is nearly through
I might see the same way too if you would name the things that bring you down on me so I can say its
Not quite true if you dont really know or understand the circumstance
Behind then I might clear your mind
And you wont have to go so...

So when the rain comes down
Would your choose to walk or stay?
Would you choose to walk, would you choose to stay?
Would you walk, walk, walk, walk away?

[Andy50]

I like this one Guzzi,the Sisters certainly know how to write some good lyrics.

[GuzziHeroV50]

I have all their albums - you interested in some cop...err...backups of their albums?

* Looks about for the RIAA spooks *  

[Celery Peach]

Releasing the demons sounds like good-era Pantera

I love the whole album Guzz, cant stop playing it. I agree its sound is quite nostalgic of the eighties. Another you might like then, is Nevermore - dead heart in a dead world, some nice riffs   Very eighties in my opinion.

  Andy, I notice lately that you are listening to quite a few that I love !  I Got a real soft spot for the smiths   My fave track being 'last night I dreamt that somebody loved me'  

[Celery Peach]

ok then, heres a real modern classic :

Cant stand losing you ~ Police

I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girl-friends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you

I see you sent my letters back
And my L.P. records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't stand losing you
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care, so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't...

[GuzziHeroV50]

Ive heard that song a hundred times - never understood the lyrics Thanks for that!

Im big on Celldweller right now (Anyone in the US who can get me their album, gimme a shout!).

Am I In Sync? (Celldweller is the best version, lyrics by Steve Taylor)

Am I In Sync? (x4)


Synthesizer rock ruled Jessicas feet
As a slave to that ubiquitous beat
Visions of the big screen danced in her head
"In a matter of time", she said

Well, Jessie never got that hollywood role
And the pogo nights have taken their toll
She can do a monkey off-a the cuff
But her mind has a missing...link


<Am I in sync?> Paint a picture on a subway train
Carve my name in a video game
<Am I in sync?> Out looking for the camera crews
Sell my soul for a second on the evening news
<Am I in Sync?> Live till the bubble pops
Hold my breat when the big one drops
<Am I in sync?> Immortality is what Im buying
But Id rather be immortal by not dying


Labratory mice made Roger a fink
And the laws of science drove him to drink
Searching for the taste of pucblic acclaim
And a cure that bore his name

Nobel prizes would have been nice
But he lost his mind to renegade mice
Roger traded dreams of 'Man Of The Year'
For an understanding...shrink

<Am I in sync?> Paint a picture on a subway train
Carve my name in a video game
<Am I in sync?> Out looking for the camera crews
Sell my soul for a second on the evening news
<Am I in Sync?> Live till the bubble pops
Hold my breat when the big one drops
<Am I in sync?> Immortality is what Im buying
But Id rather be immortal by not dying

[peterb]

Still good after all these years.


Stairway to Heaven

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

Classic song done by many different bands, each with their own perspective.  A true song that spans the decades

[Andy50]

I`m going to veer off a wee bit and tell you guys of an album that i simply love,a friend from NZ told me of an Aussie band called"The Sleepy Jackson" and a few weeks back i bought their album"lovers",hard to describe the music,maybe country Aussie(!?!!),but soooo good, a few lyrics from their song "Rain falls for wind"(best song i`ve heard this year by far)....

       I`ve been drinking and i`ve been thinking of you.
       Now i know,i know the snow will let me know.
       And i`ve been trying but i`ve lying to you.
       Now i know,i know that the time will get me through.

GUZZI-Cheers for the offer,the Sisters are a band that i`ve not really heard much of,is it their singer whose touring with The Doors?

PETER-What can i say,a classic,like the live version on their album"How the west was won"

CELERY-I think my fav Smiths song would be "There is a light that never goes out"i remember seeing the great man when i was coming out of Tottenham Court underground station,he was on the opposite escalator,my mate said"your not going to talk to him!",think i`m the only person in Scotland who likes their music.

[Andy50]

If i can throw another one into the hat....it`s called "Amsterdam"by Colplay,makes me always think of the battles i`ve had with my skin,how through all the bad times i`ve found hope for the future...

        Come on,oh my star is fading.
        And i swerve out of control.
        If i,if i`d only waited.
        I`d not be stuck here in this hole.

        Come here,oh my star is fading.
        And i swerve out of control.
        And i swear i waited and waited.
        I`ve got to get out of this hole.

        But time is on your side.
        It`s on your side now.
        I`m pushing you down and all around.
        It`s no cause for concern.

        Come on,oh my star is fading.
        And i see no chance of release.
        I know i`m dead on the surface.
        But i`m screaming underneath.

        But time is on your side.
        It`s on your side now.
        I`m pushing you down and all around.
        It`s no cause for concern.

        Stuck on the edge,this ball and chain.
        I`m on my way back down.
        Stood on the edge,tied to the noose.
        Sick to the stomach.
        Say what you mean but it wont change a sin.
        I`m sick of the secret`s.
        Stood on the edge,tied to the noose.
        You came along and cut me loose.
                       

[GuzziHeroV50]

Sisters' lead singer is Andrew Eldritch - but there are 2 of his albums under other band names - Gift as The Sisterhood and one that I believe is only out on bootleg called Go Figure under the band name SSV-NSMABAAOTWMODAACOTIATW or "Screw Shareholder Value - Not So Much A Band As Another Opportunity To Waste Money On Drugs And Ammunition Courtesy Of The Idiots At Time-Warner".  If anyone sees a copy, I want it!

[peterb]

Best lyrics by far of any artist are Zappa's.  I know Celery likes him to.

Flakes
Flakes! Flakes!
Flakes! Flakes!
They dont do no good
They never be workin'
When they oughta should
They waste your time
They are wastin' mine
Californias got the most of them
Boy, they got a host of them

Swear to God they got the most
At every business on the coast
Swear to God they got the most
At every business on the coast
They got the flakes


Flakes! Flakes!


They cant fix yer brakes
You ask em, "Wheres my motor?"
"Well it was eaten by snakes ..."
You can stab n shoot n spit
But they won't be fixin it


They are lyin an lazy
They can be drivin' you crazy


Swear to God they got the most
At every business on the coast
Swear to God they got the most
At every business on the coast
[Take it away, Bob ...]


I asked as nice as I could
If my job would
Somehow be finished by Friday
Well, the whole damn weekend
Came n went, Frankie
[Wanna buy some mandies, Bob?]
N they didn't do nothin'
But they charged me double for Sunday


You know, no matter what you do
They gonna cheat n rob you
Then they will send you a bill
That will get your sense reelin
And if you do not pay
They got computer collectors
That will get you so crazy
Til your head'll go through the ceilin
Yes, it will


Im a moron n this is my wife
Shes frosting a cake
with a paper knife
All what we got heres
American made
It's a little bit cheesey,
But it's nicely displayed
Well we dont get excited when it
Crumbles n breaks
We just get on the phone
And call up some Flakes
They rush on over
N wreck it some more
N we are so dumb
Theyre linin up at our door
Well, the toilet went crazy
Yesterday afternoon
The plumber he says
"Never flush a tampoon!"
This great information
Cost me half a week's pay
And the toilet blew up
Later on the next day ay-eee-ay
Blew up the next day
WOO-OOO


Were millions n millions
Were coming to get you
Were protected by unions
So don't let it upset you
Cant escape the conclusion
It's probably God's Will
That civilization
Will grind to a standstill
And we are the people
Who will make it all happen
While yer children is sleepin
Yer puppy is crappin
You might call us Flakes
or something else you might coin us
But we know youre so greedy
That you will probably join us
Were comin to get you, were comin to get you
Were comin to get you, were comin to get you
Were comin to get you, were comin to get you
Were comin to get you, were comin to get you
