Random Song Lyrics

[Canton Rouge]

Well, glad I have the most varied music taste, so prepare to flame me for doing this one:

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

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

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
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, really makes me wonder

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

***

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
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, Ooh, it makes me wonder

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case 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 soul
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 is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying the stairway to heaven

[Noyzistan]

keep smiling
keep shining
knowing you can always count on me...
for sure...
That's what Friends are for
In good times
in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for....

He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots and a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back. He had a hopped up cycle that took off like a gun the fool was the terror of highway 101.

Oh he never washed his face and he never combed his hair he had axle grease embedded underneath his fingernails but on the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo a picture of a heart saying "mother I love you" he had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Marylou but he treated her just like he treated all the rest and everybody pitied her 'cause everybody knew he loved that doggone motorcycle best.

[Boltor]

I can taste more than feel
This burning inside is so real
I can almost lay my hands upon
The warm glow that lingers on

Moved, lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

sign of the times....times....baby make a speech, star wars fly, neighbours just starting home, but if the night falls, and the bomb falls will anybody see the dawn?

[MinnaCaroline]

My Grandfather's clock was too tall for the shelf so it stood ninety years on the floor. It was taller by half than the old man himself though it weighed not a penny weight no more. It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born and was always his treasure and pride.

But it stopped.. Short... Never to go again when the old man died.

[Isles of Nixon]

Got out of town on a boat
Goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin' sea.
She was makin' for the trades
On the outside,
And the downhill run
To Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon
I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away.

[MinnaCaroline]

I asked her to stay, she wouldn't listen, she left before I had the chance to say "words that would mend things that were broken" but now its far too late she's gone away.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

I get knocked down....but i get up again, you're never gunna keep me down...

[Isles of Nixon]

One morning I woke up and knew you was really gone,
a new day, a new way and I knew I would see the dawn.
Go your way, I'll go mine,
and carry on.

[Le Crochet]

There's No Chance For Us.... Theres no place for us.
What is this thing that fills our dreams yet slips away from us?

Who wants to live forever?
Who Want's to live Forever?
Ooooooooooh When Love must die.

[MinnaCaroline]

Take my love, take my land, take me where I can not stand. I don't care, I'm still free you can't take the sky from me.

Take me out to the black tell 'em I ain't comin' back I don't care I'm still free you can't take the sky from me.

Burn the land boil the sea you can't take the sky from me. There's no place I can be since I found Serentity, you can't take the sky from me.

[Isles of Nixon]

I’m goin’ to Alaska Where nobody knows my face
I’m goin’ to Alaska Where there ain’t no rats to race
I’m headed to Alaska Where a song is still a song
I’m flying to Alaska Where I done nobody wrong

I’m goin’ to Alaska To a good size little town
I’m headed to Alaska Where Michelle’s friend was anchored down
I’m goin’ to Alaska Where there might be somethin’ more
Flyin’ to Alaska, Delta Flight 2284

[Canton Rouge]

Tell you a thing
That you ought to know
Two minutes of your time
Then on you go

Tell tale of the men
All dressed in black
That most of them
Not coming back

Sent off to the war
To play little games
And on their return
Can't name no names

Some strange yellow gas
Has played with their minds
Has reddened their eyes
Removed all the lies

And strange as it sounds
Death knows no bounds
How many get well
Only time will tell
Only time will tell

You lie in your death bed now
But what did you bring to the table
Brought us only holy sin
Utter trust is a deadly thing

To the prayer of holy peace
We didn't know what was lying underneath
So how could we be such fools
And to think that we thought you the answer

I can't begin to understand in all the lies
But on your death bed I can see it in your eyes
Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow
It really makes sense I can see it clearly now

Tangled up in a web of lies
Could have been a way to prophesise
Unaware of the consequence
Not aware of the secrets that you kept

Nothing that we could believe
To reveal the façade of faceless men
Not a thing that we could foresee
Now a sign that would tell us the outcome

You had us all strung out with
promises of peace
But all along you cover plan was to deceive
Can it put to rights now only time will tell
Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well

Left to all our golden sons
All to pick up on the peace
You could have given all of them
A little chance... at least

Take the world to a better place
Given them all just a little hope
Just think what a legacy
You now... will leave

SOLO

We seem destined to live in fear
And some that would say Armageddon is near
But where there's a life while there's hope
That man won't self destruct

Why can't we treat our fellow men
With more respect and a shake of their hands
But anger and loathing is rife
The death on all sides is
becoming a way of life

We live in an uncertain world
Fear understanding and ignorance
is leading to death
Only the corpses are left
For vultures that prey on their bones

But some are just not wanting peace
Their whole life is death and misery
The only thing that they know
Fight fire with fire life is cheap

But if they do stop to think
That man is teetering right on the brink
But do you think that they care
They benefit from death and pain and despair

[MinnaCaroline]

I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world, hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take. But since I came here felt the joy and the fear finding myself making every possible mistake.

I'm a young soul in this very strange world hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake.
But why all this hate?

Try to communicate. Finding trust and love is not always easy to make.

[decipi]

I ain't jacked my lumber, baby
since my chain saw you

[MinnaCaroline]

We're caught in a trap. I can't walk out. Because I love you too much baby. Why can't you see? What you're doing to me? When you don't believe a word I say. We can't go on together with suspicious minds. And we can't build our dreams on suspicious minds.

[Isles of Nixon]

So just walk on by
I can see today is like any other day
But it seems brighter than it was before
I just can't believe that its
Not the same no it's not the same
It will never be the same for me again

Chloroform the one, the one that you love
And take her back.

[MinnaCaroline]

I saw you standing across a world well looked like you knew something like my kind of girl well, little did I know you thought the same of me. I was your kind of girl well. I took my chances I took you flying you couldn't stand to have me see you crying so you left that job to the man you thought could see.

I had enough for you but you had too much for me I couldn't be #2 I couldn't be #3 I was having fun just watching you all the time but you gotta have it all or nothing sometimes all you get is a song well thought I could live without you I was wrong.

I let you go I watched you walked away hey hey you had to say "I'd rather have it be this way" well you have a lot and maybe too much to think about. It was no problem I preferred the situation until I noticed the absence of recreation well I have and maybe too much to drink about.

There are times when I can't stand it I feel like going back to demented because people will come but you will only go. Remembering glances and optimistic chances we had our fun exchanging little sweet romances but now its time to let our friendship grow our friendship grow.

What the heck was I thinking. I was wrong to think that I could live without you.

[Bad Infinitum]

I did a horrible thing to that girl
I bred my misery and drowned it in her
And she got me high
And I hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes
And I miss you less and less everyday
This stream of whisky helps to wash you away
And it's clear to see
You're nothing special
You're a skeleton key

[MinnaCaroline]

You and I in a little toy shop buy a bag of balloons with the money we got, set them free at the break of dawn 'till one by one they were gone. Back at base bugs in the software flash the message something's out there floating in the summer sky, 99 Red Balloons go by!

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky, panic bells its a red alert there's something here from somewhere else! The war machine springs to life opens up one eager eye focusing it on the sky as 99 red balloons go by.

99 decision street 99 ministers meet to worry worry super scurry call the troups out in a hurry this what we've waited for this is it boys this is war. The president is on the line as 99 red balloons go by.

99 knights of the airways like super high tech jet fighters everyone's a super hero everyone's a Captain Kirk with orders to identify to clarify and classify, scramble in the summer sky as 99 red balloons go by.

99 dreams I have had. And everyone a red balloon. Its all over and I'm standing pretty in this dust that was a city. If I could find a souvenir just to prove the world was here and here is a red balloon I think of you and let it go.....

[Canton Rouge]

Excellent sogn, Minna. Ever heard the original version, the one by Nena, sung in German? Anyways....:

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can’t be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he’s gone

No one but me can save myself, but it’s too late
Now I can’t think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

[MinnaCaroline]

Actually yes I have! In fact I even had the German version memorized for a long time. I think she sounds much better in the German version.

Beneath the moonlit sky, shadows walk beside the water, sad goodbye whispered on the shore. Hear those wind chimes play they serenade the shadow lovers, ring and fade away like California promises.

"I will never love another, wait for me 'till I return" though she never will, he waits for her beside the water. Faithful still to California promises.

[Ubeki beki beki beki stan stan]

Vrei sa pleci dar numa, numa iei,
Numa, numa iei, numa, numa, numa iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

[MinnaCaroline]

There's talk on the street it sounds so familiar, great expectations everybody's watching you. People you meet, they all seem to know you. Even your old friends treat you like you're something new. Johnny come lately... the new kid in town. Everybody loves you so don't let them down.

You look in her eyes the music begins to play. Hopeless romantics here we go again, but after awhile you're lookin' the other way its those restless hearts that never mend.

Johnny come lately... the new kid in town. Will she still love you when you're not around? There's so many things you should have told her, but night after night you're willing to hold her just hold her, tears on your shoulder.

There's talk on the street its there to remind you, doesn't really matter which side you're on. You're walkin' away and they're talkin' behind you, they will never forget you 'till somebody new comes along.

Where've you been lately? There's a new kid in town, everybody loves him, he's holding her and you're still around oh my my. There's a new kid in town.

[Bad Infinitum]

Mmmmm...Eagles......



Bang bang bang bang
Vamanos vamanos

[MinnaCaroline]

If I had my time again I would do it all the same and not change a single thing even when I was blind full of heartache and pain got cause through out the years how I'd love to be your man through the laughter and tears...

Now I'm fully clothed. and I know where its at. Somehow I stayed thin while the other guys got fat. All the chances that are blown and the times that I've been down. I didn't get too high kept my feet on the ground....

A time to laugh... a time to cry... a time to laugh... a time to cry... a time to laugh... a time to cry.

And all my friends, you've been the best to make. Soon will be the day when I would pay you handsomely. Broken hearts are hard to mend, I know I've had my share but life just carries on even when I'm not there.

Situation no win rush for a change of atmosphere I can't go on so I give in gotta get myself right out of here.

[Bad Infinitum]

Big Audio Dynamite?! I love you Minna. I truly do...more Joe Strummer!



I took a tram into the fourth dimension
Cause I had the blues, the blues of throwing it all away
Just gimme a tequila, I'll slam it the 4D way
And when I got there you know it had certain similarities
Like no smoking anywhere
And hiding in the khazi to avoid paying the fare
4D tequila, anyone?
And dont think we didn't dance to records by the Fifth Dimension
In the discosphere like Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan

And it was pretty damn hazardous
Out on the Illminster bypass, out on the Illminster bypass
Aquaplaning to the theme park
We took a ride called the Banchoff-Klein
Mega bottle ride
Well, how we spewed inside, back and forth
In time, mathmatics and pride inside

[Isles of Nixon]

My dad said, son gotta get a real job
So you can pay your way through life
Your dreams are a wate of time
I won't have a singer for a son of mine

I looked in his eyes as I opened the door
He said, you'd better not cross that line boy
Or you're not my son anymore

The cash and the papers
The chips and the cheddar, the revenue
If I ever get some, if and when
I reckon you'll be happy then
I hope you'll be happy then

[Canton Rouge]

In honor of Joe Strummer, here's The Clash's take on I Fought the Law:

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I lost my girl and i lost my fun,
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so sad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the
