Lyrics...

Bro Hymn
Pennywise
To all my friends present, past and beyond
Especially those who weren't with us too long
Life is the most precious thing you can lose
While you were here the fun was never ending
Laugh a minute was only beginning
Canton, Colvin, Nichols, this one's for you
Ever get the feeling you can't go on
Just remember whose side it is that you're on
You've got friends with you 'til the end
If you're ever in a tough situation
We'll be there with no hesitation
Brotherhood's our rule we cannot bend
When you're feeling too close to the bottom
You know who it is you can count on
Someone will pick you up again
We can conquer anything together
All of us are bonded forever
If I die, you die that's the way it is
To all my friends, present past and beyond
To all those who weren't with us too long
Life is the most precious thing you can lose
While you were here the fun was never ending
Laugh a minute was only the beginning
Canton, Colvin, Nichols, this one's for you
 
The Chariot
The Cat Empire
This is a song that came upon me
One night
When the news it had been telling me
Bout one more war and one more fight and
I, I sighed
But then I thought about my friends
Then I wrote this declaration
Just in case the world end
Our guns
We shot them in the things we said
Ah we didn't need no bullets
Cause we rely on some words instead
Kill someone in argument
Outwit them with our brains
And we'd kill ourselves laughing
At the funny things we'd say
And bombs
We had them saved for special times
When the crew would call a shakedown
We'd break down a party landmine
Women that so sexy
They explode us with their looks
Ah we blowing up some speakers
Jumping 'round 'til the ground shook
And missiles
They were the road-trips that we launched
T-t-tripping 'cross this island
Starting missions at the break of dawn
Yawn and smile say
What direction shall we take?
Somewhere where it warm and wet
This be the route we'd always take and
Our weapons were our instruments
Made from our timber and steel
We never yielded to conformity
But stood like kings
In a chariot that's riding on a
Record wheel
Our weapons were our instruments
Made from our timber and steel
We never yielded to conformity
But stood like kings
In a chariot that's riding on a
Record wheel
Our weapons were our instruments
Made from our timber and steel
We never yielded to conformity
But stood like kings
In a chariot that's riding on a
Record wheel
And our air-force flying
When the frisbee in the sky
Have a session while we're smoking
Now we're feeling extra high
And we'd sneak into a car-park
With the skaties on our back
And we're flying down the levels howling
"On the attack now, on the attack"
And battles
They happened in these dancehalls
See we'd rather fight with music
Choosing when the rhythm won
Battle at these shakedowns
And we'd battle at these gigs
We do battle in our bedrooms
Made some sweet love to the beat
And our allies grew
Wherever we would roam
See whenever we're together
Any stranger feel at home
In a way we are an army
But this army not destruct
No instead we're doing simple things
Good loving, find it, run amuck
This be a declaration
Written about my friends
It's engraved into this song
So they know we're not forgetting them
See maybe if the world contained
More people like these
Then the news would not be telling me
Bout all that warfare endlessly and
Our weapons were our instruments
Made from our timber and steel
We never yielded to conformity
But stood like kings
In a chariot that's riding on a
Record wheel
Our weapons were our instruments
Made from our timber and steel
We never yielded to conformity
But stood like kings
In a chariot that's riding on a
Record wheel
 
Such a night, it's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
Such a night, such a night
To steal away, the time is right

Your eyes caught mine, and at a glance
You let me know that this was my chance
But you came here with my best friend Jim
And here I am, tryin' to steal you away from him

Oh, but if I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will

And it's such a night, it's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
It's such a night, such a night
To steal away, the time is right

Yeah, I couldn't believe my ear
And my heart just skipped a beat
When you told me to take you walkin' down the street
Oh yeah, you came here with my best friend Jim
Here I am, I'm stealin' you away from him
RIP Dr. John
 
Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect
The Decemberists

And here I dreamt I was a soldier
And I marched the streets of Birkenau
And I recall in spring
The perfume that the air would bring
To the indolent town
Where the barkers call the moon down
The carnival was ringing loudly now
And just to lay with you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Save lay my rifle down

And try one, and try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, it's okay
Guess it's better to turn this way
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

And I am nothing of a builder
But here I dream I was an architect
And I built this balustrade
To keep you home, to keep you safe
From the outside world
But the angles and the corners
Even though my work is unparalelled
They never seemed to meet
This structure fell about our feet
And we were free to go.

And try one, and try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, it's okay
Guess it's better to turn this way
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

And here in Spain I am a Spaniard
I will be buried with my marionettes
Countess and courtesan
Have fallen 'neath my tender hand
When their husbands were not around
But you, my soiled teenage girlfriend
Oh how you furrow like a lioness
And we are vagabonds
We travel without seat belts on
To live this close to death

And try one, and try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, it's okay
Guess it's better to turn this

But I won, so you lose
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, it's okay
Guess it's better to turn this way
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
 
I'd gladly drown with you out in the sea
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
I can get sober and try to stay clean
It's whatever you want
Whatever you want

What ever you want me to be then that's what I'll be
Where ever you want Me to be then that's where I'll be
Waiting for you
If you want me to

I'll be your lover or be your best friend
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
I can leave in the mornin' or stay till the end
It's whatever you want
Whatever you want

What ever you want me to be then that's what I'll be
Where ever you want Me to be then that's where I'll be
Waiting for you
If you want me to

I'd gladly drown with you out in the sea
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
You show the way and I'll follow your lead
It's whatever you want
Whatever you want

What ever you want me to be then that's what I'll be
Where ever you want Me to be then that's where I'll be
Waiting for you
Only if you want me to
Whatever you want

~ Arlo Mckinley - Whatever You Want

Pleasantly surprised to find another who appreciates The Decemberists. Wonderful band. Colin Meloy is a wordsmith.
 
Kill Kitty - Angelspit




I love the way you sweat when you lie
hearing you beg always makes me smile
It turns me on when your honey starts to drip
as I put on the thumbscrews and tighten their grip

Slip a little bamboo under your fingernails
one wrong answer and I send in the girl…

Kill Kitty Kill Kitty Kill – Claw up to the top hell born animal
Kill Kitty Kill Kitty Kill - if you wanna see your pretty face on a dollar bill

I say Alien, you say salvation
I say government, you say Free Mason
I get bigger kicks when I pay for torture :: all your
White House clients come back for more and more and more

I said I gave a shit but I lied
my apron says illuminati child

Kill Kitty Kill Kitty Kill – Claw up to the top hell born animal
Kill Kitty Kill Kitty Kill - if you wanna see your pretty face on a dollar bill

you love my punishment, I love the glamour
now you’re all tied up and I got a hammer
my cup is full with sweet iniquity
and you thought I was a lady

light a fire in the 33rd
splash around petrol like a dirty word

Kill Kitty Kill Kitty Kill – Claw up to the top hell born animal
Kill Kitty Kill Kitty Kill - if you wanna see your pretty face on a dollar bill

getting into your head, getting up to no-good…

I am the fire, you need me to light the gas
you are the paper, I use you to wipe my ---

Kill Kitty Kill Kitty Kill – Claw up to the top hell born animal
Kill Kitty Kill Kitty Kill - if you wanna see your pretty face on a dollar bill

revenge bend psychos, senile and dangerous (Kill Kitty…)
I’m on a mission, to be malicious (Kill Kitty…)
In God we trust, shit ain’t fair (Kill Kitty…)
It’s all a fraud, I don’t care, I DON’T CARE
 
I've got the roses, I've got the wine,
With a little luck she will be here on time,
This is the place we used to go,
With romantic music and the lights down low,
And as you stand there amazed at the door,
And you're wondering what all this is for,
It's just a simple thing from me to you,
The lady that I adore, 'cause there's something,
That you should know, it's that
I've been missing you, more than words can say,
And that I've been thinking about it every day,
And the time we had just dancing nice and slow,
And I said now I've found you,
I'm never letting go;
There is no reason to the things that we do,
You can break a heart with just a word or two,
And take a lifetime to apologize,
When the one you love's in front of your eyes,
And I will fall to my knees like a fool,
If it's the only way of getting through,
You see if I think you are beautiful,
Someone else is going to feel it too,
So there's only one thing to do, tell you that
I've been missing you, more than words can say,
And that I've been thinking about it every day,
Well tonight's our night for dancing nice and slow,
Because now I've found you, I'm never letting go,
No, now I've found you, I'm never letting go;
I've been missing you, I've been missing you
I've been missing you, I've been missing you, darling


~Chris De Burgh - Missing You
 
Young and Insane
The Magnetic Fields

In this town
There is nothing at all
But a brown school and a dead shopping mall
The record store is execrable
We sit around blowing bubbles
'Cause we're young and insane
And we're running away for the summer
We're deprived and depraved
And we won't get away with it, young and insane
When you're free in an antique car
For a week, you will know who you are
In uninhabitable
We go out to jump in puddles
'Cause we're young and insane
And we're running away for the summer
We're deprived and depraved
And we won't get away with it, young and insane

Songwriters: MERRITT STEPHIN RAYMOND

 
When you were young
You were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet

And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for

And this is the room
One afternoon I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go

And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try

I met my enemy today
Baby sends the little one out to play
Enemy shot two of my buddies down
Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round

By my post, I'm standing guard
Baby hopes for roses in the front yard
I don't know my enemy's name
Baby takes the little one to a baseball game

I am in this God forsaken place
While baby wipes the dirt from the little one's face
Ten years old in the killing fields
Baby's planning the weekly meals

Bodies in a body ditch
Baby's got supper to fix
My brothers got a hole in his head
Baby gets the little one ready for bed

Today I shot my enemy
Baby gives the little one a hug for me
Both my buddy's legs got blown off
Baby tends to the little one's cough

I stare down at the barrel of a gun
Baby's going out to have some fun
And I hear ringing in my ear
Baby's face is all wet with tears

I can't look my enemy in the eye
Baby tells the little one daddy's gone bye-bye
Today I took a bullet in the heart
Now Baby's gonna have to make a brand new start

I met my enemy today
Baby sends the little one out to play
Enemy shot and took my body down
Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round

~ Sean Rowe - Soldier's Song

 
These are my favorite lyrics from this song:

Holding hands- Ria Boss

Flower opens, you don’t wanna miss
Jack in the water don’t let me freeze
Rose colored glasses, do I have them on?
 
Cannot cry
Knowing my
Tears won't drown the pain inside me

Searching
Seizing
Breathing
Bleeding
Screaming
Cover up the scars

Let the starless night
Keep them out of sight
Let the light of day
Make them fade away
Tried to hide
Safe inside
Mutely begging you to find me

Leave
Deceive me
Hurt me
Judge me
So I
Cover up the scars

Let the starless night
Keep them out of sight
Let the light of day
Make them fade away

I've tried so hard to become what you wanted me to
But instead I've ended up being everything you wish I'm not
Everything you wish I'm not
Everything you wish I'm…

Let the starless night
Keep them out of sight
Let the light of day
Make them fade away
Make them fade away
I'll make them fade away
 
The Dream - The Birthday Massacre

Her fabulous invention, what strange imagination shown
Her glorious intentions, a sea of doubt beneath her own

"You're not the first to dream this, little girl
You know it's never happened once in this world
It never crossed my mind that one so young could hope to find a power greater than my own"

She never did what they told her to
They'll never see her dream come true

The edge of revelation, believing all the stories told
A final moment taken before this story's end unfolds

"You're not the first to dream this, little girl
You know it's never happened once in this whole wide world
It never crossed our mind that one so young could hope to find a power greater than our own"

She never did what they told her to
They'll never see her dream come true

Now she flies over clouds in twilight skies
Nothing to bind her, no one will find her this high
Far above the rainy weather
All plans have come together
And for the first time she feels just fine
 
Snow Patrol - You Could Be Happy

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do​
 
Early one morning
With time to kill
I borrowed Jebb's rifle
And sat on a hill
I saw a lone rider
Crossing the plain
I drew a bead on him
To practice my aim
My brother's rifle
Went off in my hand
A shot rang out
Across the land
The horse, he kept running
The rider was dead
I hung my head
I hung my head
I set off running
To wake from the dream
My brother's rifle
Went into the sheen
I kept on running
Into the south lands
That's where they found me
My head in my hands
The sheriff he asked me
Why had I run
And then it come to me
Just what I had done
And all for no reason
Just one piece of lead
I hung my head
I hung my head
Here in the court house
The whole town was there
I see the judge
High up in the chair
Explain to the court room
What went through your mind
And we'll ask the jury
What verdict they find
I felt the power
Of death over life
I orphaned his children
I widowed his wife
I begged their forgiveness
I wish I was dead
I hung my head
I hung my head
I hung my head
I hung my head
Early one morning
With time to kill
I see the gallows
Up on a hill
And out in the distance
A trick of the brain
I see a lone rider
Crossing the plain
And he'd come to fetch me
To see what they'd done
And we'll ride together
To kingdom come
I prayed for God's mercy
'Cause soon I'd be dead
I hung my head
I hung my head

Johnny cash hung my head
Certain lines hit me hard in this song but means alot in other ways too
 
Another great one which lyrics I connect with.

One day the shadows will surround me
Someday the days will come to end
Sometime I'll have to face the real me
Somehow I'll have to learn to bend
And now I see clearly
All these times I simply stepped aside
I watched but never really listened
As the whole world passed me by
All this time I watched from the outside
Never understood what was wrong or what was right
I apologize, whoah
I apologize, whoah
One day I'll face the Hell inside me
Someday I'll accept what I have done
Sometime I'll leave the past behind me
For now I accept who I've become
And now I see clearly
All these times I simply stepped aside
I watched but never really listened
As the whole world passed me by
All this time I watched from the outside
Never understood what was wrong or what was right
I apologize
I apologize
One day the shadows will surround me
All these times I simply stepped aside
I watched but never really listened
As the whole world passed me by
All this time I watched from the outside
Never understood what was wrong or what was right
I apologize
I apologize
Whoah, I apologize
Whoah, I apologize
Whoah, I apologize
Whoah, I apologize
I apologize
 
Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, "I wanna leave it again"
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave her again
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah
And they called and I said that I'll go
And I said that I'll call out again
And the reason I ought ta leave her calm, I know
I said, "I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag"
Oh yeah, can you see them, out on the porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them 'round the front way, yeah
And I know, and I know I don't wanna stay
Make me cry
I see oh, I don't know why there's something else
I want to, wanna drum it all away
I said, "I don't, I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag"
Oh yeah, can you see them, out the on porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them 'round the front way
And I know, and I know I don't want to stay at all
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't, I don't want to stay
