    NICK CAVE

    "Where The Wild Roses Grow"
    (feat. Kylie Minogue)


    They call me The Wild Rose
    But my name was Elisa Day
    Why they call me it I do not know
    For my name was Elisa Day

    From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
    She stared in my eyes and smiled
    For her lips were the colour of the roses
    That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

    When he knocked on my door and entered the room
    My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
    He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
    He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

    [Chorus]

    On the second day I brought her a flower
    She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
    I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
    So sweet and scarlet and free?"

    On the second day he came with a single red rose
    Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow"
    I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
    He said, "If I show you the roses, will you follow?"

    [Chorus]

    On the third day he took me to the river
    He showed me the roses and we kissed
    And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
    As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist

    On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
    And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
    And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
    And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

    [Chorus]

    i have found my favorite song of all time and it a Anime as well
    called Blue Gender so here it is the lyric
    "Ai Ga Oshiete Kureta"

    Hohoemi kasaneta hibi ga maboroshi ni natte mo
    Watashi wa kitto mayowanai
    Kono mune tashika ni nokoru yasashisa to itami wo
    Dakishimete mata ikiru dake

    Mirai ni yuku tame ni Otona ni naru tame ni
    Mogaite kita omoide wo kokoro de ima wa kurikaesu
    Hitotsu no toki wo iki Futatsu no yume erabi
    Soshite ai ga oshiete kureta yo ne Hito wo omou imi

    Sabishisa wakeau you ni hajimatta koi demo
    Shiawase datte Itsu datte

    Nando mo tachidomari Nando mo furimuite
    Anata ga mou soba ni inai koto ni
    Sotto kizuku kedo
    Afureru setsunasa mo deaeta ureshisa mo
    Subete ai ga oshiete kureta kara aruki-dasu tame ni

    Jibun no koto no you ni daiji ni omoeru hito ga
    Ita koto wo tada hokori e to kaete

    Mirai ni yuku tame ni Otona ni naru tame ni
    Mogaite kita omoide wo kokoro de ima wa kurikaesu
    Hitotsu no toki wo iki Futatsu no yume erabi
    Soshite ai ga oshiete kureta yo ne Hito wo omou imi

    a murder

    but it's the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
    I have downloaded a music video of it also, with Nick Cave and Minogue (it's some 10 years old I think)

    That whole damn album is genius. Cave has a B-side called "The ballad of Robert Moore and Betty Coltrane" that's pretty amazing, also a murder ballad.

    IMO the best version of Paint it black is by Inkubus Sukkubus (who are one of the best bands in existance!)

    My 2 fave songs of all time are:

    Bridge over troubled Water - Simon and garfunkle

    and

    All by Myself - Eric Carmen (or Celine Dion, her version is very good).

    Inkubus Sukkubus is GREAT - I agree-
    Vampyre Erotica is my favourite song

    My soul burns for blood
    I'll take you, I'll break you
    I'll crush you, I'll break you
    If you want me, I'll need you
    I'll kill you, feed from you
    I'll take you down that road
    That leads to destruction
    Come and take a walk with me
    Where the angels fear to tread
    Kiss the flame, feel the pain
    In the furnace of our love
    I can't feed my hunger
    Your youth makes me younger
    I'll hurt you, desert you
    Turn your dreams to nightmares
    I'll cheat you, I'll eat you
    I'll maim you, I'll drain you
    Come to me, come to me
    To the dark side where love sleeps
    I'll hurt you, you'll love me
    I'll scratch you, I'll cut you
    You'll kiss me, then miss me
    I'll laugh at your torment
    I'll have you, and own you
    Be hard and cold to you
    I'll be your dark angel
    I'll be your worst nightmare

    Wow! It's really great to meet a fellow Inkubus Sukkubus fan! They are very rare, and usually happen to be the coolest people on the planet (I'm just too modest aren't I!)

    I really love the song "We belong with the dead". Thats one of my fave ones by Inkubus Sukkubus. But all of their songs are great anyway so it's hard to choose a fave!

    lol- I'm surprised also- I'm used that ppl don't know what I'm talking about when speaking of them.
    btw- I clasify their style as new-age-pagan power rock

    Jesus that's a hard question. Any song by TooL is great, but to narrow it down to one...hmm...I guess it has to be a 3-way tie...between 46 and 2, Opiate, and Lateralus

    Opiate:
    Choices always were a problem for you.
    What you need is someone strong to guide you.
    deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
    what you need is someone strong to guide you.
    Like me
    if you want to get your soul to heaven,
    trust in me now, don't you judge or question
    you are broken now but faith can heal you,
    just do everything i tell you to do.
    My god's will, becomes me.
    when he speaks, he speaks through me.
    he has needs, like i do.
    we both want, to rape you.
    Jesus Christ why don't you come save my life now?
    Open my eyes blind me with your light now.

    Lateralus:
    Black and 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.
    Seperate the body from the mind.
    Withering my intuition.
    missing oportunities and i must,
    feed my will to feel my moment,
    going way outside the lines.
    there is so much more and beckons me
    to look through to these
    infinate possiblities.
    Withering my intuition leaving oportunities behind.
    Feed my will to feel my 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 rythym, to feel connected.
    enough to step out side 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 to
    swing on the spiral 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
    reachin up and reaching out I'm
    reachin for the random or what-
    ever will bewilder me what-
    ever will bewilder me now,
    following our will and whim we
    may just go where noones' been we,
    ride the spiral till the end we
    may just go where nooone's been.
    SPIRAL OUT, KEEP GOING
    SPIRAL OUT, KEEP GOING
    SPIRAL OUT, KEEP GOING

    this all straight from memory and i skipped a few parts that repeated so it's a little off...oh and somebody allready put the lyrics for 46 and 2 so....

    New-age-pagan power rock! Now that is something to put on my CV!

    interests: Well, i do enjoy listening to new-age-pagan power rock, amongst other things!

    LMAO!

    Have u ever heard of a band called Trans-Siberian orchestra?? I think they are amazing, and you should definately get some of their music off Kazaa lite. I recommend "The Dark" "Mephistopheles Return" or "A Last Illusion". All of their songs rock though, so it doesn't matter! Download some today!

    INKUBUS SUKKUBUS RULE!

    Some things in life are bad,
    They can really make you mad,
    Other things just make you swear and curse...
    When you're chewing on life's gristle,
    Don't grumble, give a whistle,
    And this'll help things turn out for the best...

    And.... always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the bright side of life...

    If life seems jolly rotten,
    There's something you've forgotten,
    And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,
    When you're feeling in the dumps,
    Don't be silly chumps,
    Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing...

    And... always look on the bright side of life...
    Come on, always look on the bright side of life...

    For life is quite absurd,
    And death's the final word,
    You must always face the curtain with a bow,
    Forget about your sin,
    Give the audience a grin,
    Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow...

    So always look on the bright side of death...
    Just before you draw your terminal breath...

    Life's a piece of shit,
    When you look at it,
    Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
    You'll see it's all a show,
    Keep 'em laughing as you go,
    Just remember that the last laugh is on you...

    And... always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the right side of life...
    Come on guys, cheer up,
    Always look on the bright side of life...
    Always look on the bright side of life...

    Worse things happen happen at sea, you know,
    Always look on the bright side of life...
    I mean, what have you got to lose?
    You know, you come from nothing,
    You're going back to nothing,
    What have you lost? Nothing!

    Always look on the right side of life...

    /Eric Idle, from the "Life of Brian"/

    Broken-Hearted Lovers Stew

    And there's a heartache and a memory and just a tear or two,
    In a broken-hearted lover's stew.

    There are nine carrots to remind me of the ring I bought for you,
    Some mint for all the crazy things we mint to do,
    A lettuce 'cause your mom and dad would not let us alone,
    I won't put in the truffles, you've got truffles of your own.

    An artichoke for the 'earty jokes your father used to tell,
    And as he was a Welshman we'll have a leek as well.
    And your cousin, the religious one, so sanctimonious,
    For him some loaves and fishes 'cause that's all he ever does.

    And there's a heartache and a memory and just a tear or two,
    In a broken-hearted lover's stew.

    There is a radish 'cause you kept repeating that your love was true,
    A beet root for the way I said that I'd beet root to you,
    Some shallots for the times I said I love you such-shallot,
    Some capers to remind me of what up to which we got.

    A turnip for the way you always used to turnip late,
    A melon for the melancholy way I used to wait.
    A chili for how I felt while I waited for you,
    And a marrow to remind me of what I was frozen to.

    And there's a heartache and a memory and just a tear or two,
    In a broken-hearted lover's stew.

    There is a swede to remind me of the man you left for me,
    An egg because you used to egg me on incessantly,
    And your baby little brother, what a messy little kid,
    For him some wine and water 'cause that's all he ever did.

    Oh I was fond of olives and you liked herbs I know,
    I gave up seeing Olive but Herb didn't want to go.
    So for the man who won you there is one thing I must do,
    But in some sage and onions 'cause he wants stuffing too.

    And there's a heartache and a memory and just a tear or two,
    In a broken-hearted lover's stew.
    Oh poo!

    It rocks!
    I don't care if they are German!!!!!!

    Kann man Herzen brechen
    können Herzen sprechen
    kann man Herzen quälen
    kann man Herzen stehlen

    Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck
    doch seh ich dann nach unten weg
    da schlägt es links

    Können Herzen singen
    kann ein Herz zerspringen
    können Herzen rein sein
    kann ein Herz aus Stein sein

    Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck
    doch seh ich dann nach unten weg
    da schlägt es links zwo drei vier

    Kann man Herzen fragen
    ein Kind darunter tragen
    kann man es verschenken
    mit dem Herzen denken

    Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck
    doch seh ich dann nach unten weg
    da schlägt es in der linken Brust
    der Neider hat es schlecht gewußt

    Links zwo drei vier

    THORNS

    ONCE SOMEONE TOLD
    A STORY ABOUT THESE SMALL DESERT BIRDS
    THROWING THEMSELVES
    IN THORNS WHEN COPULATING IN LUST

    AND WHILE EMBRACED BY DEATH
    THEY SING SO FINE THAN NEVER
    AND WHILE EMBRACED BY DEATH
    THEY STAY IN LOVE FOREVER

    LIKE MARTYRS DO
    THEY DEDICATE THEIR LIFES IN DEEP VEIN
    OF ANCIENT VOWS
    AND DIE OF FLARING ARDOUR IN HAZE

    THORNS THEY LURK ON ROSES STEM
    THEY DO INTEND NO HARM THEM

    SQUEEZING ME HARD
    IN THORNS THAT BURN LIKE A FIRE INSIDE
    THRILLING MY HEAD
    UNTIL THEY RIP MY SHIVERING SKIN

    THORNS THEY LURK ON ROSEST STEM
    THEY DO INTEND NO HARM THEM
    THEY LURK ON BODIES STEM
    THEY MAKE MY HEART ARISE THEM
