Standing in the Doorway
Soul Asylum

Standing in the doorway
Wondering if it's safe to go outside
Wondering if I'll come back
Wondering if I might just drift out with the rising tide
Sitting and waiting and hoping to find
Something you're good at to use up your time
To crawl from the ocean and lie on the shore
A moonbeam the rests on the dust on your floor

I'm not going out there
Don't try to tell me I'm paranoid
Wouldn't say I'm not scared
Though it may be safe to say that I am annoyed
In the intersection traffic lights are red in all directions
Everyone breaks the law sometimes
We all break down have foolish pride and
Beg for some affection
I can't say I know how you feel everyone seems to know
Are you sure I would if I could help you remember
What it's like to feel good
Chitter and chatter and everything matters
I ask how you're feeling
And you just act shattered
Asleep on the couch with your eyes open wide

Standing in the doorway
Waiting as you come and as you leave
You say get out of my way
Won't you stop and talk about the hectic life you lead
They're all going somewhere
They all have some place they have to be
Maybe I should join them
I wish I could I think I have to stay here with me
It brings a tear to your eye to get out into the open
I can't believe I see myself
Coming into focus

 

[Cryozombie]

I am the glutton dressed as glam
The mutton and the ham
My tables broke not turning
My skin is crawling, burning
And though I stand for nothing
I will fall for anything
Tequilla...A little lime
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
(No one gets out of her alive)

Absolved in absinthe I
My crippled crew in carnage cry
For one more drink or surely die
Now steer my through the needles eye
And so the **** and shat on
Broken for the broken
And and satan begs to save us
As jesus cannot please us
Salvation turns to degradation
Fill the rig feel the dig
Inebriate me one more time
For the friend of the devil is a friend of mine
(No one gets out of her alive)

My snake filled slut like little mouth
Spouts sticky stained pornography
To force my bruised and aching head
To suck both barrels and the lead
My sweet assassin sugerdog
Who's little tail will wag this hog
And roll me over one more time
For the friend of the devil is a friend of mine.

PIG - No one Gets out of Her Alive

Stigmata
Ministry

stronger than reason
stronger than lies
the only truth i know
is the look in your eyes
the look in your eyes

just like a car crash
just like a knife
my favourite weapon
is the look in your eyes
you've run out of lies

there's a ton locked in your empty eyes
get out of my life

i'm chewing on glass
and eating my fingers
i'm not the one
who's run out of lies
lies

you've run out of time

cutting my face
and walking on splinters
i lost my soul
to the look in your eyes
your eyes

you ran out of lies
you ran out of time

stigmata!

o, you have empty eyes
they tell me nothing, nothing but lies

How Fortunate The Man With None
lyrics: from a poem by Bertoldt Brecht
music: Dead Can Dance

You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him,
To him complexities seemed plain.
He cursed the hour that gave birth to him
And saw that everything was vain.
How great and wise was Solomon.

The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's wisdom that had brought him to this state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he became.
They deified him in his life
Then had him murdered just the same.
And as they raised the fatal knife
How loud he cried: you too my son!

The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's courage that had brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied:
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink.
How honest was the people's noble son.

The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's honesty that brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Here you can see respectable folk
Keeping to God's own laws.
So far he hasn't taken heed.
You who sit safe and warm indoors
Help to relieve out bitter need.
How virtuously we had begun.

The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's fear of god that brought us to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Gorilla, you're a desperado
Warren Zevon

Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place

I wish the ape a lot of success
I'm sorry my apartment's a mess
Most of all I'm sorry if I made you blue
I'm betting the gorilla will, too

They say Jesus will find you wherever you go
But when He'll come looking for you, they don't know
In the mean time, keep your profile low
Gorilla, you're a desperado

He built a house on an acre of land
He called it Villa Gorilla Now
I hear he's getting divorced
Laying low at L'Ermitage, of course

Then the ape grew very depressed
Went through Transactional Analysis
He plays racquetball and runs in the rain
Still he's shackled to a platinum chain

Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place

For Techno..
Hey TP my embattled friend.. I do not think you are wanting a psychoanalysis with that lyric.. and so I can only say again you are in my thoughts for all what little that would be worth to you right now.. and yes.. this is some lyric and course Jim Morrison said the same.. and I have something for you which I hope you have got or I would really wish you to hear because the melancholy permeating this whole album is like nothing ever before or will ever be done again I do not imagine.. this is the most amazingly haunting and ethereal Japan (yes David Sylvian from the 80s.. fact from what I am hearing I reckon he was just about responsible for 80s synth and all the new romantic stuff) anyway.. and I do not even know if you or anybody reads what I post but that is ok it is here to come back to .. and this here.. well I think there is meaning below and it is Japan.. Nightporter

Could I ever explain
This feeling of love it just lingers on
The fear in my heart that keeps telling me which way to turn

We will wander again
Our clothes they are wet
We shy from the rain
Longing to touch all the places we know we can hide
The width of a room that can hold so much pleasure inside

Here am I alone again
A quiet town where life begins
Here am I just wondering
Nightporters go
Nightporters slip away

I will watch for a sign
And if I should ever again cross your mind
I will sit in my room and wait until nightlife begins
I'm catching my breath
We will both brave the weather again

Here am I alone again
A quiet town where life gives in
Here am I just wondering
Nightporters go
Nightporters slip away

For Egg..
Hey Egg wow! well now what would I make of this? I think from what little I know of Brecht that you would do well to stay away he was clever and but he was a bad lot for certain things.. but what do I know bout that.. but still I am with you on the DCD.. I find your tastes impeccable my friend!.. here is one for you I do not know if you want one back and but I will do it cos this is a promise I made at the start and which I do not break.. but since you are so clever and learned my friend I can think of nothing better out of my head than this and I know you will appreciate this from the quirky and colourful and wonderful Flaming Lips.. this is just one of the best albums ever.. and this is the Yeah Yeah Yeah song.. I love this.. I wish I was this clever to answer these things.. and I wish everybody thought bout these things but that is just silly..

(yeah yeah yeah yeah..)
If you could blow up the world with the flick of a switch.. would you do it?
(yeah yeah yeah yeah..)
If you could make everybody poor just so you could be rich.. would you do it?
(yeah yeah yeah yeah..)

If you could watch everybody work while you just lay on your back .. would you do it?
(yeah yeah yeah yeah..)
If you could take all the love without giving any back.. would you do it?
(yeah yeah yeah yeah..)

and so we cannot know ourselves or what wed really do..
with all your power.. with all your power .. with all your power.. what would you do?
with all your power.. with all your power .. with all your power.. what would you do?

(no no no no..)

If you could make your own money and then give it to everybody.. would you do it?
(no no no no..)
If you knew all the answers and could give to the masses.. would you do it?
(no no no no..)

Are you crazy?
Its a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want because you cannot know yourself or what youd really do..
with all your power.. with all your power .. with all your power.. what would you do?
(do do do do..)
(yeah yeah yeah yeah..)

with all your power.. with all your power .. with all your power.. what would you do?
with all your power.. with all your power .. with all your power.. what would you do?
with all your power.. with all your power .. with all your power.. what would you do?

For Xue Sheng..
Hey mister Xue Sheng.. thank you for posting up here for me.. and I never got to ask you bout your Id and I know xue means to learn so I am thinking you are a little learner still? Yes I know you are a big fancy expert with a great deal of knowledge but you are saying you are still learning new things and that is an admirable quality for anyone to possess.. sorry I am off on one.. I would love to know if this lyric means anything to you personally.. yep it is bout the gorilla and the narrators swapping places and the ape takes the guys Beemer and his apartment.. ha! I have never heard this and I am having trouble acquiring it.. but that is a right laugh! and but what is that to you I wonder??? *strokes beard pensively* But here is one for you if you care for it.. I am only guessing at your musical palate but well we cannot go wrong with a little of the Byrds (well that is the version I am listening to I know there are others) and I wonder why they do not write thoughtful lyrics like these.. too lazy I guess.. nobody has such ideology in our times perhaps..

to everything.. turn turn turn
there is a season.. turn turn turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven

a time to be born.. a time to die
a time to plant.. a time to reap
a time to kill.. a time to heal
a time to laugh.. a time to weep

to everything.. turn turn turn
there is a season.. turn turn turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven

a time to build up.. a time to break down
a time to dance.. a time to mourn
a time to cast away stones.. a time to gather stones together

to everything.. turn turn turn
there is a season.. turn turn turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven

a time of love.. a time of hate
a time of war.. a time of peace
a time you may embrace.. a time to refrain from embracing

to everything.. turn turn turn
there is a season.. turn turn turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven

a time to gain.. a time to lose
a time to rent.. a time to sew
a time for love.. a time for hate
a time for peace.. I swear its not too late!

[Cryozombie]

Come close, step inside
Radiance from a dying world
Contagious and careless
You're spreading your disease among us
Warm sweat, no regret
All you see is the TV set
While people around you Are dying like flies

Non-stop violence, they feed us cascades
Of non-believers dying in the sand
Feeding us with violence, we face the fall of man
Believe me, and catch me if you can

Catch me if you can!

Come close, step inside
Radiance from a dying world
Contagious and careless
You're spreading your disease among us
White noise in your ears Your eyes look like monitors
But what you need is silence And a positive vibe

Not your TV!

Non-stop violence, they feed us cascades
Of non-believers dying in the sand
Feeding us with violence, we face the fall of man
Believe me, and catch me if you can

Catch me if you can...​

 

[Cryozombie]

You don't have to say you're sorry
To look on further down the line
Into the sun
Too close at heaven
Love is fine
But you can't hold it like a gun

Two worlds apart two together
Into that good night kiss away
One takes the hard, one the other
Kiss away

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
When the road gets too tough
Is your love strong enough?

Do you feel your head is full of thunder?
Questions never end?
Empty nights alone?
No wonder
It all comes back again

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
I've been under the gun
I've lost and I've
1,2,3,4...


Forget the many steps to heaven
It never happened and it ain't so hard
Happiness is a loaded weapon and a
Short cut is better by far
Explosive bolts, ten thousand volts
At a million miles an hour
Abrasive wheels and molten metals
It's a semi-automatic, get in the car
Corrosive heart and frozen heat
We're worlds apart where we could meet
Where the street fold round and the motors start
And the idiot wields the power
Where the chosen hold the highest card
On the field of honour where the ground is hard
So the highest hand is joking wild
And the house soon fold and no one stand
I put my finger on and dialled
The tower, the moon, the gun and
Nine nine nine, singer down
Cloudburst and all around
The first are last, the blessed get wired
The best is yet to come
I put my finger on and fired
Heat-seeking, out of the sun
You can set the controls for the heart or the knees
And the meek'll inherit what they damn well please
Get ahead, go figure, go ahead and pull the trigger
Everything under the gun

UNDER THE GUN - Sisters of Mercy

Heard this one for the first time in a long while yesterday. I'm in a weird mood, so I thought I'd share it ... remember, I have kids. :shrug:

Copyright © 1985 Leonard Cohen and Sony/ATV Music Publishing Canada Company.

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this - The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Riding The Storm

[Music: Kasparek, Lyrics: Kasparek]

Breaking the waves, a ride on the wild raging sea
Playing with fortune, oh, what a lust to be free
Flashlights and thunder, the pattering rain on the hull
From a stormy horizon we get our course
The cry of freedom

Face in the wind, we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, we're riding the storm

Cracks in the planks, the rigging moves upwards and down
Staggering masts, the pounding splash of the prow
The wind in our sails, our flag flies high on the top
From a stormy horizon we get our course
The cry of freedom

Face in the wind, we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, we're riding the storm

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Heart Of Steel

[Joey DeMaio]

Build a fire a thousand miles away to light my long way home
I ride a comet
My trail is long to stay
Silence is a heavy stone...
I fight the world and take all they can give
There are times my heart hangs low
Born to walk against the wind
Born to hear my name
No matter where I stand I'm alone

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

Burn the bridge behind you
Leave no retreat
There's only one way home
Those who laugh and crowd the path
And cut each other's throats
Will fall like melting snow
They'll watch us rise with fire in our eyes
They'll bow their heads
Their hearts will hang low
Then we'll laugh and they will kneel
And know this heart of steel was
Too hard to break
Too hard to hold

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
born with a heart of steel

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Master Of The Wind

In the silence of the darkness when all are fast asleep
I live inside a dream calling to your spirit
As a sail calls the wind, hear the angels sing

Far beyond the sun across the western sky
Reach into the blackness find a silver line
In a voice I whisper a candle in the night
We'll carry all our dreams in a single beam of light

Close your eyes, look into the dream
Winds of change will winds of fortune bring

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind

Falling stars now light my way
My life was written on the wind
Clouds above, clouds below
High ascend the dreams within

When the wind fills the sky the clouds will move aside
And there will be the road to all our dreams
For any day that stings two better days it brings

Nothing is as bad as it seems
Close your eyes, look into the dream
Wins of change will winds of fortune bring

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind

This is on the Shrek motion picture soundtrack. Beautiful song.

 

[Flying Crane]

My wife just brought this song to my attention yesterday. It's by Death Cab for Cutie, called I'll follow you into the Dark. I think it's beautiful




Love of mine, some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

 

[Kreth]

It's by Death Cab for Cutie

Is it just me, or do bands today have some really stupid names?

 

[Cryozombie]

Is it just me, or do bands today have some really stupid names?

Yes. All the good names are taken already.

Im gonna Call my band Kreth and The Holograms

 

[Kreth]

Im gonna Call my band Kreth and The Holograms

Cool, as long as I get royalties.

Seriously though, Los Lonely Boys, Hoobastank, Wolfmother?
