Title:Perfect

Artist:Alanis Morisette

Lyrics:

Sometimes is never quite enough

If you're flawless, then you'll win my love

Don't forget to win first place

Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy

Try a little harder

You've got to measure up

And make me prouder

How long before you screw it up

How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up

With everything I do for you

The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl

You've gotta try a little harder

That simply wasn't good enough

To make us proud

I'll live for you

I'll make you what I never was

If you're the best, then maybe so am I

Compared to him compared to her

I'm doing this for your own damn good

You'll make up for what I blew

What's the problem ...... why are you crying

Be a good boy

Push a little farther now

That wasn't fast enough

To make us happy

We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect

Title:What It's Like

Artist:Everlast

Lyrics:

We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change

The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange

He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes

"Get a job you *BLEEP*ing slob," is all he replies

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes

'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues

 

Then you really might know what it's like...

Then you really might know what it's like...

Then you really might know what it's like...

Then you really might know what it's like...

 

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love

He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll

I'm the man you've been dreaming of."

But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls

And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls."

And then she heads for the clinic and

She gets some static walking through the door

They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner

And they call her a *****

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes

'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

 

Then you really might know what it's like...

Then you really might know what it's like...

Then you really might know what it's like...

Then you really might know what it's like...

 

I've seen a rich man beg

I've seen a good man sin

I've seen a tough man cry

I've seen a loser win

And a sad man grin

I heard an honest man lie

I've seen the good side of bad

And the downside of up

And everything between

I licked the silver spoon

Drank from the golden cup

And smoked the finest green

I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times

before i broke their heart

You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start

 

I knew this kid named Max

who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs

He liked to hang out late

he liked to get *BLEEP*-faced and keep the pace with thugs

Until late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some *BLEEP*, and wound up dead

Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain

You know it comes that way

at least that's what they say when you play the game

God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news

'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose

 

Then you really might know what it's like...

Then you really might know what it's like...

Then you really might know what it's like...to have to lose

Title:Alter Mann (Old Man) English Lyrics

Artist:Rammstein

Lyrics:

He waits on the midday's wind

the wave comes and lies down wearily

with a fan every day

the old one makes the water smooth

 

I throw the stone for fun

the water moves in circles

the old one looks sadly at me

and swept it smooth again

 

In the white sand, the old man

trembling, smokes his pipe

only the water and I know

why he needs this fan

 

The idea sleeps like a volcano

hesitating, I asked him then

his head bent, it seemed he slept

he said before he died

 

The water shall be your mirror

if it is smooth you will see

how many fairy tales remain for you

and you will plead for your redemption

 

The fan pressed against his body

the hand stiffens with rigor mortis

they had to break his fingers

the fan remains back in the sand

 

I call the old one every day

he would like to redeem me

I remain back in the midday's wind

and I can read in the fan

 

The water shall be your mirror

if it is smooth you will see

how many fairy tales remain for you

and you will plead for your redemption

Do You Realize?

album: yoshimi battles the pink robots

submitted by: m. burgess

Title:

Artist: The Flaming Lips

Lyrics:

 

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face

Do You Realize - we're floating in space -

Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry

Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

 

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know

You realize that life goes fast

It's hard to make the good things last

You realize the sun doesn't go down

It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

 

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh

Do You Realize that everyone you know

Someday will die?

 

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know

You realize that life goes fast

It's hard to make the good things last

You realize the sun doesn't go down

It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

 

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face

Do You Realize

Title: The Reflecting God

Artist: Marilyn Manson

Lyrics:

 

Your world is an ashtray.

We burn and coil like cigarettes,

the more you cry your ashes turn to mud.

 

It's the nature of the leeches.

The virgin's feeling cheated.

You've only spent a second of your life.

 

My world is unaffected, there is an exit here...

I say it is and then it's true.

There is a dream inside a dream,

I'm wide awake the more I sleep.

You'll understand when I'm dead...

 

I went to God just to see,

and I was looking at me.

Saw heaven and hell were lies...

When I'm god everyone dies.

 

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?

Shoot here and the world gets smaller.

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?

One shot and the world gets smaller.

 

Let's jump upon the sharp swords,

cut away our smiles.

Without the threat of death,

there's no reason to live at all...

 

My world is unaffected, there is an exit here...

I say it is and then it's true.

There is a dream inside a dream,

I'm wide awake the more I sleep.

You'll understand when I'm dead...

 

I went to God just to see,

and I was looking at me.

Saw heaven and hell were lies...

When I'm god everyone dies.

 

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?

Shoot here and the world gets smaller.

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?

One shot and the world gets smaller.

 

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?

Shoot here and the world gets smaller.

Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!

Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!

 

Each thing I show you is a piece of my death.

 

No salvation. No forgiveness.

No salvation. No forgiveness!

No salvation. No forgiveness.

No salvation. No forgiveness!

No salvation. No forgiveness.

No salvation. No forgiveness.

This is beyond your experience.

No salvation. No forgiveness.

No salvation. No forgiveness.

Forgiveness! Forgiveness! Forgiveness! Forgiveness!

Forgiveness! Forgiveness! Forgiveness! Forgiveness!

No salvation. No forgiveness.

 

I went to God just to see,

and I was looking at me.

Saw heaven and hell were lies...

When I'm god everyone dies.

 

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?

Shoot here and the world gets smaller.

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?

Shoot here and the world gets smaller.

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?

Shoot here and the world gets smaller.

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?

Shoot here and the world gets smaller.

 

Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!

Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!

Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!

Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!

Title: Long hard road Out of Hell

Artist: Marilyn Manson

Lyrics:

I want to fly into your sun.

Need faith to make me numb.

Live like a teenage christ.

I'm a saint, got a date with suicide.

Oh Mary, Mary. To be this young is oh so scary.

Mary, Mary. To be this young I'm oh so scared.

 

I wanna live, I wanna love,

But its a long hard road out of Hell.

I wanna live, I wanna love,

But its a long hard road, out of Hell.

 

You never said forever, could ever hurt like this.

You never said forever, could ever hurt like this.

 

Spin my way out of Hell.

There's nothing left this soul to sell.

I live fast, I die you too.

How many times to do this for you?

How many times to do this for you?

 

Mary, Mary. To be this young I'm oh so scared.

 

I wanna live, I wanna love,

But its a long hard road out of Hell.

I wanna live, I wanna love,

But its a long hard road, out of Hell.

 

You never said forever, could ever hurt like this.

You never said forever, could ever hurt like this.

 

I wanna live, I wanna love,

But its a long hard road out of Hell.

I wanna live, I wanna love,

But its a long hard road, out of Hell!

Long hard road, out of Hell.

 

I wanna live, I wanna love,

But its a long hard road, out of Hell.

 

Sell my soul for anything, anything but you.

Sell my soul for anything, anything but you.

Ok Ok. You have posted enough for the moment, have a rest plz :D

 

Here goes mine:

Title: Needled 24/7

Artist: Children Of Bodom

Lirycs:

Since day one I've been crass and far beyond.

I couldn't laugh, I couldn't cry ...

Before you judge me, take a look at yourself.

Condescending, outlivin' in a lie..

 

Despite all the pain in my heart grinding through,

it ain't due that you hate what I hate what you do

 

Despite all the piety you've been consuming thus far,

a backstabbing mother*BLEEP*er to the bone is what you are

 

And everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,

My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.

A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,

Then again it's like being needled 24/7

 

You look down to me to see the scum of the earth to be.

*BLEEP* yeah, that's me, vile and obscene.

I ain't happy about it but at least I don't judge and decree

to be better than another human being.

 

Everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,

My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.

A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,

Then again it's like being needled 24/7

 

Despite all the piety you've been consuming thus far,

Can anyone, somebody tell me what the *BLEEP* is going on?

 

Everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,

My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.

A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,

Then again it's like being needled 24/7

Title:Stay together for the kids

Artist:blink 182

Lyrics:

It's hard to wake up,

When the shades have been pulled shut.

This house is haunted, its so pathetic, it makes no sense at all.

I'm ripe with things to say, the words rot and fall away.

If this stupid poem could fix this home, I'd read it every day.

 

So here's your holiday

Hope you enjoy it this time.

You gave it all away.

It was mine.

So when you're dead and gone,

Will you remember this night?

Twenty years now lost.

It's not right.

 

Their anger hurts my ears.

Been running strong for seven years.

Rather than fix the problems, they never solve them.

It makes no sense at all.

I see them every day.

We get along so why can't they?

If this is what he wants, and it's what she wants,

Then why is there so much pain?

 

So here's your holiday

Hope you enjoy it this time.

You gave it all away.

It was mine.

So when you're dead and gone,

Will you remember this night?

Twenty years now lost.

It's not right.

 

So here's your holiday

Hope you enjoy it this time.

You gave it all away.

It was mine.

So when your dead and gone,

Will you remember this night?

Twenty years now lost.

It's not right.

 

Its not right (x3)

Title:Martini Kiss

Artist:Senses Fail

Lyrics:

There's poison in my drinking glass

Don't stop, just sip it down

And in a swirling masquerade of sound

My body hits the ground

I'm beautiful when I'm asleep

Martini kisses land

On my blistered bloody scarlet lips

The bottles in my hand

 

Burn out, not fade away

Burn out, not fade away

Burn out, not fade away

 

I'll speak in riddles so you can understand

I'll draw in pencil so you can trace with pen

So in love with me, like sand to wet feet

I'll write both our names into the wet concrete

 

We're glistening like silver spoons

Beneath the summer night

Oh, can you smell the suttle hint of frost

As the flowers start to cry

The autumn winds are bringing graves

To all the emerald trees

They're so beautiful in their dismay

The colors slowly bleed

 

The pawns will fade away

 

Burn out, not fade away

Burn out, not fade away

 

The kings at his checkmate

 

Burn out, not fade away

Burn out, not fade away

 

And I sit here

With a sick grin

Choking, as I laugh until I die

Title:Slow Dance

Artist:Senses Fail

Lyrics:

If you pull too hard

Then the string will break

And if you leave the slack

Then the string won't hold

 

So how can we find ourselves

Trapped in our own private hells

Where we just scream but no one can hear

X marks the spot where the dig begins

The treasure is found within

The broken hearts that are soaked with fear

 

Fill the glass to the brim

And it will spill out

Keep on sharpening the knife

And it will be so blunt

 

To be at one with all your life

And do without doing a thing

Don't try too hard to make a stand

Or you'll miss the missing point at hand

Title: Afternoon Delight

Artist: Preferably Will Ferrel

Lyrics:

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight

Gonna grab some Afternoon Delight

My motto's always been "When it's right, it's right."

Why wait until the middle of a cold, dark night?

 

When everythings a little clearer in the light of day?

And we know the night is always gonna be here anyway?

 

Thinkin 'bout you's working up my appetite

Lookin' forward to a little Afternoon Delight

Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite

And the thought of lovin you is gettin' so exciting

 

Skyrockets in flight!

Afternoon Delight!

Afternoon Delight!

Afternoon Delight!

 

Started out this morning feeling so polite,

I always thought a fish could not be caught who didn't bite.

But you got some bait a-waiting and I think I might

Try nibblin' a little Afternoon Delight

 

Skyrockets in flight!

Afternoon Delight!

Afternoon Delight!

Afternoon Delight!

 

Be waiting for me, baby, when I come around.

We can make a lot of loving 'fore the sun goes down

 

Thinkin' of you's workin' up a' appetite

Lookin' forward to a little afternoon delight

Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite

And the thought of lovin you is gettin' so exciting

 

Skyrockets in flight!

Afternoon Delight!

Afternoon Delight!

 

Afternoon Delight!

 

(a madrigal fugue)

 

Afternoon Delight!
