    Just a few days ago I heard this Pearl Jam song, I am mine:
    I particularly like this bit:
    I don't listen to the radio much, so it's new to me, and quite groovy.

    Anyone else found any nice lyrics lately?

    It's the terror of knowing
    What this world is about
    Watching some good friends
    Screaming let me out

    Tool, of course.

    Tool's CD "Lateralus" was really the last one that caught my eye, especially the songs Parabol/a and Lateralus...enjoy

    . If you haven't already heard these, I HIGHLY recommend you download them. No band can compete with Tool, they are practically a genre and league of their own....

    Parabol

    So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
    This one, this form I hold now.
    Embracing you, this reality here,
    This one, this form I hold now, so
    Wide eyed and hopeful.
    Wide eyed and hopefully wild.

    We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
    Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
    This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
    This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

    Parabola

    We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
    We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
    This holy reality, this holy experience.
    Choosing to be here in

    This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
    This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
    All this pain is an illusion.

    Alive, I

    In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in

    This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
    This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
    All this pain is an illusion.

    Twirling round with this familiar parable.
    Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
    Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.

    This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
    Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
    All this pain is an illusion.

    And finally, what is in my opinion one of the greatest songs EVER recorded...

    Lateralus

    Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
    red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
    lets me see.
    As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
    drawn beyond the lines of reason.
    Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

    Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
    Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
    Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

    Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
    red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
    lets me see there is so much more
    and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
    As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
    drawn outside the lines of reason.
    Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

    Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
    Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

    Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
    Reaching out to embrace the random.
    Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

    I embrace my desire to
    feel the rhythm, to feel connected
    enough to step aside and weep like a widow
    to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
    to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
    to swing on the spiral
    of our divinity and still be a human.

    With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
    between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
    I feel it move across my skin.
    I'm reaching up and reaching out,
    I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
    And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
    We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

    Spiral out. Keep going, going...

    I Love Life

    Here comes your bedtime story: Mum & Dad have sentenced you to life.
    Don't think twice; it's the only reason I'm alive.
    I feel alright as long as I don't forget to breathe.
    Breathe in, breathe in, breathe out.
    Look at all these buildings & houses
    I love my life. I love my life.
    Hey now, slow down a minute.
    Take my arms & fill them full of life.
    Don't think twice.
    Does it ease the pain of being alive?
    Or is it why - why you keep nodding out on me?
    Breathe in, breathe in, breathe out.
    Another day, another major disaster
    I love my life. I love my life.
    You got a problem.
    I lost my keys when I stayed at your place.
    On the floor of your living room, you made the scene but it'll never get shown on TV.
    So tonight prepare to kiss goodbye to my lovelife.
    So get this right- I love my life; it's the only reason I'm alive.
    It's mine, all mine - as long as I don't forget to breathe.
    Breathe in, breathe in, breathe out.
    Corny I know, but you had better believe it
    I love my life. I love my life. I love my life. God, how I love my life.
    That's right: you've got to fight to the death for the right to live your life.
    Alright: I'm gonna fight to the death 'til they give me back my life.
    That's right: you're in the land of the living but there's so few signs of life.
    Alright.
    Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe out.

    'Cooler than hell'

    I've got something to sell
    that is cooler than hell

    I'm not just a dealer
    some call me a healer

    of wounds great and small
    I have cured them all.

    I am the arms dealer
    You can be one too

    Let me show you
    what to do

    With more armor, bunkers and weapons
    than ever before
    we're more vulnerable with less immunity
    than ever before.

    so...

    If you need to make people more vulnerable without immunity
    just sell them more armor, bunkers and weapons.

    The weaker they become the more they need weapons
    big and small.
    short and tall
    slick as a satin nightie

    Ain't she a beauty?

    Chorus:.....Ya gotta feel small if a gun makes you big...

    But a gun like disease keeps on giving
    Chorus:.....
    Its protection against the mob or pig
    Chorus:.....
    You'll need one to kill to keep on living
    Chorus:.....
    You can bust a strong man just like a twig.
    Chorus:.....
    Its self defense when you need forgiving.
    Chorus:.....


    OK OK you can change your mind whenever you need
    You might want one for your neighbor or even Saddam.
    There is one last warning I'd like you to heed...
    Beware the smallest weapon be it a virus or atom.

    In a battle between the virus and us...

    The meek shall inherit the Earth.

    Underground Network by Anti-Flag

    the national media cover clinton/lewinsky
    while the world's governments sell out millions on the issue of free trade
    but somewhere in the night -- a force is not asleep
    ad a massive organization plans to rise up to its feet...
    it does it like this...

    a pirate radio voice transmite into the night
    and from D.C. to Peking email warns of lost global rights
    and the hoax the world's leaders, wanted no one to see
    comes crashing on their heads from grass roots -- striking it down
    the blows coming for the world's...

    chorus:
    underground network - alternative communication
    corporate media can't keep us beat down, brainwashed, enslaved
    'cause of our... underground network - alternative communication

    they try to blind us but we...
    stand up and fight! stnad up and fight!
    they try to keep us ignorant but we...
    stand up and fight! stand up and fight!
    they want to make our rights away so...
    stand up and fight fight...!

    just take a look around the world and you're going to find that nearly all
    mass media are owned and controlled by a handful of conservative capitalists.
    we must devise and implement alternative methods of distributing our news, our
    information, our ideas -- people worldwide working together to make a stand, to
    tell the truth!

    sooner or later people are gonna get tired of me and Anti-Flag

    Standing on the beach
    With a gun in my hand
    Staring at the sea
    Staring at the sand
    Staring down the barrel
    At the arab on the ground
    I can see his open mouth
    But I hear no sound

    I'm alive
    I'm dead
    I'm the stranger
    Killing an arab

    I can turn
    And walk away
    Or I can fire the gun
    Staring at the sky
    Staring at the sun
    Whichever I chose
    It amounts to the same
    Absolutely nothing

    I'm alive
    I'm dead
    I'm the stranger
    Killing an arab

    I feel the steel butt jump
    Smooth in my hand
    Staring at the sea
    Staring at the sand
    Staring at myself
    Reflected in the eyes
    Of the dead man on the beach
    The dead man on the beach

    I'm alive
    I'm dead
    I'm the stranger
    Killing an arab

    Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
    Even though I know-I suppose I'll show
    All my cool and cold-like old job

    And I still believe that I cannot be saved

    Soot And Stars

    the words flow, decisions made
    idea's mine, but the inspiration's not ..
    dreams of hangers on, dreams of getting well
    spells of ezmerelda, emeralds foretold
    splinters in the eye sentiments remain
    bones that never rest where we going to
    it was never up to me and yet i pushed until it broke

    i love the open road and all that it suggests
    wheel wagon dust weeds and infidelities and
    always for a love never question why
    in a wooden house immoveable and silent and
    drinking strawberry wine forever lost in town
    and thru the sleeping streets night bound and heavy
    wheels in the spoke still spoken for himself

    now my gates are high, my friends even higher
    forgotten in my mind, yet the sky still linger and
    cloud the blue skies, i'm jealous of you birds
    was the only truth in a world full of words?
    hear the prairie sound in a friend called near
    the heart is pointed down but my spirit pointed up
    his voice for siren of greek mythology

    i pause with my pen i begin to defend
    every action taken, every moment sealed
    when i was quick it coursed through open veins
    the will to live the urgency to move
    behind a panel door sealing cherry stain
    i play my guitar and live those lonesome notes

    like a dog that's down
    in a corner just a sigh
    waiting to be called
    waiting to be yours
    ghosts of all my shame
    without purpose or will

    i often speak of you but the you is always me
    cause when i speak of me it's me i ask of you
    so let there be no truth just trickery in rhymes
    time the only thing waiting still as death

    i hope for resolution
    pray one defining moment
    pause without restrain barren without child
    a child is who i was a child is who i'll die
    soot in my hair
    and stars in my hands
    soot in my hair
    and stars in my hands
    soot in my hair
    and stars in my hands

    It was on the good ship Venus
    By Christ you should've seen us
    The figurehead was a whore in bed
    And a masturbating penis.

    The Captain of this sucker
    He was a dirty bugger
    He wasn't fit to shovel shit
    From one place to another.

    Chorus
    Friggin' in the riggin'
    Friggin' in the riggin'
    Friggin' in the riggin'
    'cause there was fuck all else to do.

    The Captain's name was Morgan
    By Christ he was a Mormon
    Ten tunes a day we'd play away
    On his fucking organ.

    Chorus

    The First Mate's name was Cooper
    By Christ he was a trooper
    He jerked and jerked until he worked
    Himself into a stupor.

    Chorus

    The Second Mate was Andy
    By Christ he had a dandy
    'Til they crushed his cock with jagged rocks
    For coming in the brandy.

    Chorus

    The cabin boy was Kipper
    He was a fucking nipper
    He stuffed his arse with broken glass
    And circumcised the skipper.*

    Chorus

    The Captain's wife was Mabel
    By Christ she wasn't able
    So the dirty shits they nailed her tits
    Across the bar room table.

    Chorus

    If ever I were to committ suicide, I'd do it to this song

    Stone Sour - "Bother"

    Wish I was
    Too dead to cry
    My self-affliction fades
    Stones to throw at my creator
    Masochists to which I cater
    You don't need to bother;
    I don't need to be
    I'll keep slipping farther
    But once I hold on,
    I won't let go 'til it bleeds

    Wish I was too dead to care
    If indeed I cared at all
    Never had a voice to protest
    So you fed me shit to digest
    I wish I had a reason;
    my flaws are open season
    For this, I gave up trying
    One good turn deserves my dying

    You don't need to bother;
    I don't need to be
    I'll keep slipping farther
    But once I hold on,
    I won't let go 'til it bleeds

    [Solo: Corey]

    Wish I'd died instead of lived
    A zombie hides my face
    Shell forgotten
    with its memories
    Diaries left
    with cryptic entries

    And you don't need to bother;
    I don't need to be
    I'll keep slipping farther
    But once I hold on,
    I won't let go 'til it bleeds

    You don't need to bother;
    I don't need to be
    I'll keep slipping farther
    But once I hold on:
    I'll never live down my deceit

    Apropos to current world situation

    Generals gathered in their masses
    just like witches at black masses
    evil minds that plot destruction
    sorcerers of death's construction
    in the fields the bodies burning
    as the war machine keeps turning
    death and hatred to mankind
    poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

    Politicians hide themselves away
    they only started the war
    Why should they go out to fight?
    They leave that role to the poor

    Time will tell on their power minds
    Making war just for fun
    Treating people just like pawns in chess
    Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!

    Now in darkness, world stops turning
    as the war machine keeps burning
    No more war pigs of the power
    Hand of God has struck the hour
    Day of judgement, God is calling
    on their knees, the war pigs crawling
    Begging mercy for their sins
    Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
    ALL RIGHT NOW!
