this is a thread for song lyrics that are important to you...

heres mine

step out the front door like a ghost into a fog
where no-one notices the contrast of white on white
in between the moon and you
angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
i walk in the air,between the rain
through myself and back again
where...i dont know
maria says she's dieing
through the door i hear her crying
why...i dont know

round here
we always stand up straight
round here
something radiates

maria came from nashville with a suiycase in her hand
she said she'd like to meet a boy that looks like elvis
and she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
just like she's walkin on a wire in the circus
she parks her car outside my house and takes all her clothes off
says she's close to understanding jesus
but she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

round here
were carving out our names
eound here
we all look the same
round here we talk just like lions
but we sacrifice like lambs
round here
she's slippin through my hands

sleeping children better run like the wind
out of this lightning dream
mamma's little baby better get herself in
out og the lightning

she says it's only in my head
she says...she...i know its only in my head
but there's a girl on a car in the parking lot
who says.."man you should try to take a shot...cant you see my walls are crumbling"
and she looks up at the building
says "hey im thinkin of jumpin
says she tired of life
she must be tired of something

round here
she is always on my mind
round here hey man...we got lots of time
round here we are never sent to bed early
and nobody makes us wait
round here we stay up very very late

will you catch me if im falling
will you kiss me if i was leaving
will you hold me
cause im lonely...without you
and im under the gun
round here

what song is that?

Cant say this is that important to me....but it is a great song...
__________________________________________________________

A decade ago
I never thought I would be
At twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion
Woe-is-me

But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never ending calamity
I need you to hear
I need you to see that I have had all I can take and
Exploding seems like a definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me
Pardon me
Don't ever be the same

Not two days ago
I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said, "I can relate" cause' lately I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcomed vacation from
The burdens of the planet earth
Like gravity hypocrisy and the perils of being in 3-D
But thinking so much differently

Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me
Pardon me
Dont ever be the same
Never be the same

Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me
Pardon me
Pardon me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me
Pardon me
Don't never be the same
never be the same yeah
noo noo nooo

YAH INCUBUS....heres some for you....


$20 to whoever can name what movie this is from!

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
A real gangsta’ass nigga plays his cards right
A real gangsta’ass nigga never runs his fuckin mouth
Cuz real gangsta’ass niggas don’t start fights
And niggas always gotta high cap
Showin’ all his boys how he shot em
But real gangsta’ass niggas don’t flex nuts
Cuz real gangsta’ass niggas know they got em
And everythings cool in the mind of a gangsta
Cuz gangsta’ass niggas think deep
Up three’sixty’five a year 24/7
Cuz real gangsta ass niggas don’t sleep

And all I gotta say to you
Wannabe’ gonnabe’ cocksuckin’’ pussy’eatin’ prankstas
Cuz when the fry dies down what the fuck you gonna do
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Verse 2

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Feedin’ the poor and hepin out wit they bills
Although I was born in Jamaica
Now I’m in the US makin’ deals
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
I mean one that you don’t really know
Ridin’ around town in a drop’top Benz
Hittin’ switches in my black six’fo’
Now gangsta’ass niggas come in all shapes and colors
Some got killed in the past
But this gangtsa here is a smart one
Started living for the lord and I’ll last

Now all I gotta say to you
Wannabe’ gonnabe’ pussy’eatin’ cocksuckin’ prankstas
When the shit jumps off what the fuck you gonna do
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Verse 3

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
A real gangta’ass nigga knows the play
Real gangsta’ass niggas get the flyest of the bitches
Ask that gangsta’ass nigga "ittle Jake
Now bitches look at gangsta’ass niggas like a stop sign
And play the role of "ittle Miss Sweet
But catch the bitch all alone get the digit take her out
and then dump’hittin’ the ass with the meat
Cuz gangsta’ass niggas be the gang playas
And everythings quiet in the clique
A gangsta’ass nigga pulls the trigger
And his partners in the posse ain’t tellin’ off shit
Real gangsta’ass niggas don’t talk much
All ya hear is the black from the gun blast
And real gangsta’ass niggas don’t run for shit
Cuz real gangsta’ass niggas can’t run fast
Now when you in the free world talkin’ shit do the shit
Hit the pen and let the mothafuckas shank ya
But niggas like myself kick back and peep game
Cuz damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Verse 4

And now’ a word from the President!
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Gettin voted into the White House
Everything lookin good to the people of the world
But the Mafia family is my boss
So every now and then I owe a favor gettin’ down
like lettin’ a big drug shipment through
And send ’em to the poor community
So we can bust you know who
So voters of the world keep supportin’ me
And I promise to take you very far
Other leaders better not upset me
Or I’ll send a million troops to die at war
To all you Republicans’ that helped me win
I sincerely like to thank you
Cuz now I got the world swingin’ from my nuts
And damn it feels good to be a gangsta

OK, try this for size - No cash prize and No retrospecitive rules

One of my all time favourites;

Quote:

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away There's so much to say A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice And it cannot rejoice Wanting to be, to hear and to see Crying to the sky But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye good-bye, good-bye, good-bye Clicks, clacks Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while The ego sings of castles and kings and things That go with a life of style Wanting to feel, to know what is real Living is a lie But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

The band and the film please.

The Monkeys-Porpoise song

Vanilla Sky Soundtrack

Not bad,

But..

As quoted on the Vanilla Sky Soundtrack, it's the theme from "Head"

Which was actually what I had in mind.

oh ok....Head i on my list for netflix....yah heres something try ot guess....


If I go before I’m old
Oh brother of mine please don’t forget me if I go
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free,
after three days in the ground

Oh and if I die before my time
Oh sweet sister of mine please don’t regret me if I go
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
after three days in the ground
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
after three days in the ground

I’m on bended knee I pray Bartender please
Oh when I was young I didn’t think about it,
But now I can’t get it out of my mind
I’m on bended knee please father please

Oh if all this gold, should steal my soul away
Oh dear mother of mine, please redirect me if this gold
Bartender you see, this wine that’s drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from
the devil’s tree roots
Deep deep in the ground

Bartender you see, this wine that’s drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from
the devil’s tree roots
Deep deep in the ground
I’m on bended knee I pray Bartender please
I’m on bended knee please mama please
Oh when I was young I didn’t think about it,
But now I just want to run and hide
I’m on bended knee Bartender please


Band name and Song name and bonus what album?

dave matthews band

bartender

supposed to be on the scrapped "lillywhite sessions" album

here you go

well night time let her through
yeah im talkin to you
i wanna see her
precious little thing
with eyes that dance around without their clothes
so but a pretty dress
wear it out tonight
for all the boys you think'll out do me
or better still
be my winding wheel

cause i feel just like a map
without a single place to go of interest
and im further north than south
if i could shut my mouth
she'd probably like this
so buy a pretty dress
wear it out tonight
for anyone you think'll out do me
or better still
be my winding wheel

well children laugh and sing
the storm that ushers in
her driving rain
and i standing in the station
like some old record waitin on the train
so buy a pretty dress
wear it out tonight
for any boy you think'll out do me
or better still
be my winding wheel

yes but it was a trick question it appears on 2 albums....lillywhite sessions and busted stuff.

Ryan Adams, my winding wheel right?

here....

You know enough to know the way
Six billion people just one name (I found)
I found tomorrow in today
Apocalyptic and insane, my dreams will never change
You wanna be the one in control
You wanna be the one who's alive
You wanna be the one who's old
It's not a matter of luck, it's just a matter of time

Stand out on the edge of the earth

Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun
Look into the new future's face

I know you know enough to say
I know you know enough to play a game

You wanna be the one in control
You wanna be the one who's alive
You wanna be the one who's old
It's not a matter of luck, it's just a matter of time

Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center ?
Walk right inside of ?
Look into the still future space

Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun
Look into the new future's face

(Stand out on the edge of the earth)

Stand out on the edge of the earth
Stand out on the edge of the earth
(Look into the new future's face)
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun
Look into the new future's face


Good luck!

FREE WILL
There are those who think that life
Has nothing left to chance
With a host of holy horrors
To direct our aimless dance
A planet of playthings
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
“The stars aren’t aligned —
Or the gods are malign”
Blame is better to give than receive
You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you still choose not to decide
You cannot have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose free will
There are those who think that
They’ve been dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them —
They weren’t born in Lotus-Land
All pre-ordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can pray for a place
In Heaven’s unearthly estate
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt
That’s far too fleeting….


Thanks again to RUSH

Don’t mind me riding on this roller coaster,
Trying to make the most of what you gave to me.
I’m lying motionless and shipwrecked,
As the ocean sweeps me further out to sea.
And don’t you find that life’s a string of disappointments,
Till you feel that it’s just pointless… or is that just me?
I never live up to expectations, are you disappointed in me?

I can’t go back, I can’t go back…
Back to where we were.
I can’t go on, I can’t go on…
Go on like this for much longer.

And what comes with this vicious circle?
We don’t quite know what is lurking underneath.
The surface tension breaks, chances pass, you hesitate,
Your head plunges beneath.
And don’t you know that it’s just you?
They should take the time to step inside your shoes.

Ok could someone please tell me who did the last three songs cause I haven't got a clue.

This is a song that I really like. Can anyone guess who it is? I'm afraid that, to my knowledge, it isn't in a movie:

If language were liquid
It would be rushing in
Instead here we are
In a silence more eloquent
Than any word could ever be


These words are too solid
They don't move fast enough
To catch the blur in the brain
That flies by and is gone
Gone
Gone
Gone


I'd like to meet you
In a timeless, placeless place
Somewhere out of context
And beyond all consequences


Let's go back to the building
On Little West Twelfth
It is not far away
And the river is there
And the sun and the spaces
Are all laying low
And we'll sit in the silence
That comes rushing in and is
Gone


I won't use words again
They don't mean what I meant
They don't say what I said
They're just the crust of the meaning
With realms underneath
Never touched
Never stirred
Never even moved through


If language were liquid
It would be rushing in
Instead here we are
In a silence more eloquent
Than any word could ever be


And is gone
Gone
Gone
And is gone

it's Suzanne Vega

(random trivia: she's Vincent Vega's cousin according to the original Pulp Fiction script)
