What Do You Want From Life? - The Tubes What do you want from life To kidnap an heiress or threaten her with a knife What do you want from life To get cable TV and watch it every night There you sit a lump in your chair Where do you sleep and what do you wear when you're sleeping What do you want from life An Indian guru to show you the inner light What do you want from life a meaningless love affair with a girl that you met tonight How can you tell when you're doin' alright Does your bank account swell While you're dreaming at night How do know when you're really in love Do violins play when you're touching the one That you're lovin' What do you want from life Someone to love and somebody you can trust What do you want from life To try and be happy while you do the nasty things you must What do you want from life What do you want from life What do you want from life What do you want from life Well, you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen you are entitled to: a heated kidney shaped pool, a microwave oven--don't watch the food cook, a Dyna-Gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home, a king-size Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum, a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi, real simulated Indian jewelry, a Gucci shoetree, a year's supply of antibiotics, a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number, a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick, Rosemary's baby, a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams, a new Matador, a new mastodon, a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego, a Merc Montclair, a Mark IV, a meteor, a Mercedes, an MG, or a Malibu, a Mort Moriarty, a Maserati, a Mac truck, a Mazda, a new Monza, or a moped, a Winnebago--Hell, a herd of Winnebago's we're giving 'em away, or how about a McCulloch chainsaw, a Las Vegas wedding, a Mexican divorce, a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot, or a baby's arm holding an apple?
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.
The Unguarded Moment ~ The Church So hard finding inspiration I knew you'd find me crying Tell those girls with rifles for minds That their jokes don't make me laugh They only make me feel like dying In an unguarded moment So long, long between mirages I knew you'd find me drinking Tell those men with horses for hearts That their jibes don't make me bleed They only make me feel like shrinking In an unguarded moment So deep, deep without a meaning I knew you'd find me leaving Tell those friends with cameras for eyes That their hands don't make me hang They only make me feel like breathing In an unguarded moment
Mary Star of the Sea- Zwan rooms full of salt fault my pluck and a poets charm so far, ever far little stars that burn the holes in my soul and everything just feels like rain the road we're on, the things we crave and everything just feels like rain the nights i sleep, what's left to dream when everything feels like rain drift as i dive find the deep out of reach of all light stars, ever far listless tides along the changing shore and everything just feels like rain the road we're on, the things we crave and everything just feels like rain if i should sleep, what's left to dream when everything feels like rain
Fee - Phish In the cool shade of the banana tree On the rugged trail toward the balcony A child of the twentieth century A dried up Goliath and a weasel named Fee Far away in another place A fading beauty named Milly Grace And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace Fee was a Buddhist prodigy Long past the age of maturity Someday he knew it would set him free Like it did for Floyd the chimpanzee Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life That's completely free. You're racing with the wind You're flirting with death So have a cup of coffee And catch your breath Fee first met Milly in a bar in Peru His heart was jumping like a kangaroo Like a beast in a cage in an old Dutch zoo It was hopping and thumping in wooden shoes But Floyd was jealous and alone He wanted Milly for his own A desperate craving in his bones "Their love", he said, "I will not condone." Then one day on a ship to Quebec Floyd found Milly on a lover's trek He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck It sliced through the air, and Fee hit the deck Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life That's completely free You want to stay with Milly Until you're dead But you just got a bottle Upside your head Milly turned and began to scream at Floyd said "You think you're pretty mean" And though she was as thin as a small string bean She slammed him in the face with a nectarine Floyd fell back over the edge of the ship Till he hung from the rail by his fingertip said, "Floyd I'll make you lose your grip With this tiny piece of paper I can make you slip" So Milly took that paper and did the deed Floyd hit the water with astonishing speed And as the sharks circled and began to feed Milly knew her weasel was finally free Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life That's completely free Floyd is dead; he's nothing but a ripple Cause Milly took that paper And sliced him on the nipple
"Lateralus" - Tool (CD: Lateralus) <center>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...</center>

Behold! The Nightmare i've faced the fathoms in your deep withstood the suitors quiet siege pulled down the heavens just to please you appease you the wind blows, and I know I can't go on digging roses from your grave to linger on beyond the beyond where the willows weep and the whirlpools sleep you'll find me the coarse tide reflects the sky and the night mare rides on and the night mare rides on with a december black psalm and the night mare rides on what I fear is lost here the wind blows and I know all you have to do is run away and steal yourself from me become mystery to gaze into you're so cruel in all you do but still I believe, I believe you so may you come with your own knives you'll never take me alive with all the force of what is true is there nothing I can do? I can't go on digging roses from your grave to linger on beyond the beyond where the willows weep and the whirlpools sleep you'll find me and the night mare rides on and the night mare rides on with a december black psalm and the night mare rides on I've face the fathoms in your deep withstood the suitors quiet siege pulled down the heavens just to please you to hold the flower I can't keep
Fathom!! Awesome choice of song, awesome album. (Adore is one of my all-time favorites of theirs, even though Chamberlin wasn't drumming) . Fathom, i am happy to see other pumpkin fans on this site! here: Crestfallen "Crestfallen" Who am I to need you when I'm down Where are you when I need you around Your life is not your own And all I ask you Is for another chance Another way around you To live by circumstance, once again Who am I to need you now To ask you why to tell you no To deserve your love and sympathy You were never meant to belong to me And you may go, but I know you won't leave Too many years built into memories Your life is not your own Who am I to need you now To ask you why to tell you no To deserve your love and sympathy You were never meant to belong to me Who am I to you? Along the way I lost my faith And as you were, you'll be again To mold like clay, to break like dirt To tear me uo in your sympathy You were never meant to belong to me You were never meant to belong to me You were never meant to belong to me Who am I?

Climbing up the walls ~ Radiohead I am the key to the lock in your house That keeps your toys in the basement And if you get too far inside You'll only see my reflection It's always best when the light is off I am the pick in the ice Do not cry out or hit the alarm You know we're friends till we die And either way you turn I'll be there Open up your skull I'll be there Climbing up the walls It's always best when the light is off It's always better on the outside Fifteen blows to the back of your head Fifteen blows to your mind So lock the kids up safe tonight Put the eyes in the cupboard I've got the smell of a local man Who's got the loneliest feeling That either way he turns I'll be there Open up your skull I'll be there Climbing up the walls Climbing up the walls Climbing up the walls
You're the one who's always choking Trojan You're the one who's always bruised and broken Sleep may be the enemy But so's another line It's a remedy You should take more time You're the one who's always choking trojan You're the one who's showers always golden Spunk & bestiality well it's an Assisi lie It's ahead of me You should close your fly I understand the fascination The dream that comes alive at night But if you don't change your situation Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die Please don't die You're the one who's always choking trojan You're the one who's always bruised and broken Drunk on immorality Valium and cherry wine Coke and ecstasy You're gonna blow your mind I understand the fascination I've even been there once or twice or more But if you don't change your situation Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die Please don't die x 4 (placebo)
He's smiling at the evening news And here's the reason why This country needs a war to lose So he sends us off to die Her husband's giving her the blues He can't stop telling lies I'm trying not to be amused But I laugh so hard I cry We stand on thinner ice Over oceans deep as love Spirits fall within our sight As we look down from above And he said let's get high as he put down his gun Now won't you ride this waterslide that coincides with the rising of the sun...........
I don't need no arms around me. I don't need no drugs to calm me. I have seen the writing on the wall. Don't think I need anything at all. All in all, you were all just bricks in the wall. -Pink Floyd
this is voodoo chile by jimi hendrix. great guitaring on this song. lyrics too, are abstract and blend brilliantly with the song:- Well, I'm a voodoo chile Lord I'm a voodoo chile Well, the night I was born Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red The night I was born I swear the moon turned a fire red Well my poor mother cried out "lord, the gypsy was right!" And I seen her, fell down right dead (Have mercy) Well, mountain lions found me there waitin' And set me on a eagles back Well, mountain lions found me there, And set me on a eagles wing (Its' the eagles wing, baby, what did I say) He took me past to the outskirts of infinity, And when he brought me back, He gave me a venus witch's ring Hey! And he said "Fly on, fly on" Because I'm a voodoo chile, yeah, voodoo chile Hey! Well, I make love to you, And lord knows you'll feel no pain Say, I make love to you in your sleep, And lord knows you felt no pain (Have mercy) 'Cause I'm a million miles away And at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame (Yeah! What did I say now) 'Cause I'm a voodoo chile Lord knows, I'm a voodoo chile (yeah!) Well my arrows are made of desire From far away as Jupiter's sulphur mines Say my arrows are made of desire, desire From far away as Jupiter's sulphur mines (Way down by the Methane Sea, yeah) I have a humming bird and it hums so loud, You think you were losing your mind, hmmm... Well I float in liquid gardens And Arizona new red sand (Yeah) I float in liquid gardens Way down in Arizona red sand Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue, Way down in California And the in New York drowns as we hold hands 'Cause I'm a voodoo chile Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
this is 'set the controls for the heart of the sun', by pink floyd. this song never ceases to fascinate me. the soft drums, the eerie atmosphere, and roger waters haunting voice, coupled with the lyrics themselves, make this song one of my favourites:- Little by little the night turns around Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn Lotuses lean on each other in yearning Under the leaves the swallow is resting Set the controls for the heart of the sun Over the mountain watching the watcher Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine One inch of love is one inch of shadow Love is the shadow that ripen's the wine Set the controls for the heart of the sun The heart of the sun The heart of the sun Witness the man who raves at the wall Making the shape of his question to heaven Whether the sun will fall in the evening Will he remember the lesson of giving Set the controls for the heart of the sun The heart of the sun The heart of the sun
this is testify by ratm. i agree with their political ideology and using music as a medium of communication really works:- The movie ran through me The Glamour subdue me The tabloid untie me Im empty please fill me Mister anchor assure me That Baghdad is burning Your voice it is so soothing That cunning mantra of killing I need you my witness To dress this up so bloodless To numb me and purge me now Of thoughts of blaming you Yes the car is our wheelchair My witness your coughing Oily silence mocks the legless Now traveling in coffins But on the corner The jurys sleepless We found your weakness And its right outside your door Now testify Now testify Its right outside your door Now testify Yes testify Its right outside your door With precision you feed me My witness Im hungry Your temple it calms me So I can carry on My slaving, sweating, The skin right off my bones On a bed of fire Im choking On the smoke that fills my home The wrecking ball is rushing Witness your blushing The pipeline is gushing While here we lie in tombs While on the corner The jurys sleepless We found your weakness And its right outside your door Now testify Yeah testify Its right outside your door Now Testify Now Testify And its right outside your door Mass graves for the pump and the price is set, and the price is set Mass graves for the pump and the price is set, and the price is set Mass graves for the pump and the price is set, and the price is set Mass graves for the pump and the price is set, and the price is set Who controls the past now controls the future Who controls the present now controls the past Who controls the past now controls the future Who controls the present now? Now Testify Testify Its right outside your door Now Testify Testify Its right outside your door this one is guerilla radio also by ratm. this song influenced me a great deal:- Transmission third world war third round A decade of the weapon of sound above ground No shelter if youre looking for shade I lick shots at the brutal charade As the polls close like a casket On truth devoured A silent play on the shadow of power A spectacle monopolized The cameras eyes on choice disguised Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil? Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil? Yes a spectacle monopolized They hold the reins, stole your eyes All the fistagons the bullets and bombs Who stuff the banks Who staff the party ranks More for Gore or the son of a drug lord None of the above fuck it cut the cord Lights out guerilla Radio Turn that shit up Contact I highjacked the frequencies Blockin the beltway Move on DC Way past the days of bombin MCs Sound off Mumia guan be free Who gottem yo check the federal file All you pen devils know the trial was vile An army of pigs try to silence my style Off em all out that box its my radio dial Lights out guerilla Radio Turn that shit up It has to start somewhere It has to start sometime What better place than here What better time than now All hell cant stop us now
