I forgot my current fave:

Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?

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

[Anaël]

One's my favourite songs : "Hero" by Mariah Carey

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

Refrain
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

Refrain

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way

[Sekaino Jasmine]

Okay, I'll just post an English one:

Bohemian Rhapsody

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch can you do the fandango
Thunderbolts and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico

But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

Anyway the wind blows...

Okay, I actually just copied that from lyrics.com...I didn't feel like writing it all up. So, if there are any errors, don't blame me.

[Just Myself]

Damn I was gonna post that! Anyway, I've got a mountain of lyrics I want to post.

Tears for Fears
'Call Me Mellow'
Fill the sky with love
Fill the sky with love

I wouldn't mind but she just turned up on the doorstep
Wistful and ashen, slightly bedraggled
Last time I saw her she was howling at the moon
Roaming the forest, lupine and rabid

Oh-oh, is she wild?
Does she see my inner child?

But then she knows it's like a curse
To find the chosen roles reversed
To unify my universe
To call me mellow

If only I was only half my age and she was older
We'd live on ice-cream on Coney Island
I know it's gravity that drags down my balloon
She stays in orbit way after midnight

Oh-oh, slip and slide
Does she go on the Elide?

But then she knows it's like a curse
To find the chosen roles reversed
To unify my universe
To call me mellow

She'll dress down for us
She'll break new grounds for us
Watching me cracking up

She'll hang around fellows
With all the groundswellers
Driving me like a truck

But then she knows it's like a curse
To find the chosen roles reversed
To unify my universe
To call me mellow

But then she knows it's like a curse
To find the chosen roles reversed
To unify my universe
To call me mellow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
(last time I saw her she was howling-)

(starts to fade out)
Fill the sky with love
Fill the sky with love
Fill the sky with love
Fill the sky with love
Fill the sky with love
Fill the sky with love

Song 2
I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn’t easy
But nothing is, no

(woo-hoo!)When I feel heavy metal
(woo-hoo!)And I’m pins and I’m needles
(woo-hoo!)Well I lie and I’m easy
All of the time but I’m never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you

I got my head done
When I was young
It’s not my problem
It’s not my problem

(WOOO-hoo!)When I feel heavy metal
(woo-hoo!)And I’m pins and I’m needles
(woo-hoo!)Well I lie and I’m easy
All of the time but I’m never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Crazy beat crazy crazy crazy

Killer

You got to get it together
You're shooting at me
You're just a teenage industry
Why are the C.I.A. having fun
They think you're clever 'cos you've blown up your lungs

But I love to hear that crazy beat (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Gets the people dancing on their feet (yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And I love to hear the paradise
I love my brothers on a Saturday night yeah

Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yea [repeat]

Break it up

I'm on my mobile and I'm talking to the president
I got to get him for the money I've spent
Trying to get him to party with me
And even offered him ecstasy

But I love to hear that crazy beat (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Gets the people dancing on their feet (yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And I love to hear the paradise
I love my sister and I love her tonight

Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yea
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah
Crazy beat crazy crazy crazy
Break up...It's a beat

But I love to hear that crazy beat (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Gets the people dancing on their feet (yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And I love to hear the paradise
I love my brothers on a Saturday night

but I love to hear that crazy beat, (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Gets the people dancing on their feet (yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And I love to hear the paradise
I love that feeling and I love her tonight

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Peter Gabriel -Love to be Loved


I cry the way that babies cry
The way they can't deny
The way they feel
Words, they climb all over you
'Til they uncover you
>From where you hide


Sting - The Lazarus Heart

He looked beneath his shirt today
There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide
From the wound a lovely flower grew
From somewhere deep inside
He turned around to face his mother
To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand
But the sword that cut him open
Was the sword in his mother's hand

Every day another miracle
Only death will tear us apart
To sacrifice a life for yours
I'd be the blood of the Lazarus heart
The blood of the Lazarus heart

Though the sword was his protection
The wound itself would give him power
The power to remake himself at the time of his darkest hour
She said the wound would give him courage and pain
The kind of pain that you can't hide
From the wound a lovely flower grew
From somewhere deep inside

Every day another miracle
Only death will keep us apart
To sacrifice a life for yours
I'd be the blood of the Lazarus heart
The blood of the Lazarus heart

Birds on the roof of my mother's house
I've no stones that chase them away
Birds on the roof of my mother's house
Will sit on my roof some day
They fly at the window, they fly at the door
Where does she get the strength to fight them anymore
She counts all her children as a shield against the pain
Lifts her eyes to the sky like a flower in the rain

[Starion]

What what that?
Quick before the hyenas come!

Dig, Digga Tunnah.

I think the song only has two lines in the whole song.

Maroon 5
'She Will Be Loved'
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Yeah
[softly]
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Try so hard to say goodbye

Dashboard Confessionals
'Vindicated'
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated I am

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away [4x]

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

Weird Al Yankovic
'A Complicated Song(Parody of Avril Lavigne's "Complicated")'

Uh huh ... extra cheese
Uh huh, uh huh ... save a piece for me

Pizza party at your house
I went just to check it out
Nineteen extra larges
What a shame
No one came

Just us eatin' all alone
You said, "Take the pizza home"
"No sense lettin' all this go to waste"
So then I faced

Pizza all day
And every day
This cheese 'round the clock
Is gettin' me blocked
And I sure don't care
For irregularity

Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make me so constipated?
'Cause right now I'd do anything to just get my bowels evacuated
In the bathroom ... I sit and I wait and I strain
And I sweat and I clench and I feel the pain
Oh, should I take laxatives or have my colon irrigated?
No no no

I was feelin' pretty down
'Till my girlfriend came around
We're just so alike in every way
I gotta say

In fact, I just thought I might
Pop the question there that night
I was kissing her so tenderly
But woe is me

Who would have guessed
Her family crest
I'd suddely spy
Tattooed on her thigh
And son-of-a-gun
It's just like the one on me

Tell me
How was I supposed to know we were both related?
Believe me, if I knew she was my cousin we never would have dated
What to do now? Should I go ahead and propose
And get hitched and have kids with eleven toes
And move to Alabama where that kind of thing is tolerated?
No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no

I had so much on my mind
I thought maybe I'd unwind
Try out that new roller coaster ride
And the guide

Said not to stand
But that's a demand
That I couldn't meet
I got on my feet
And stood up instead
And knocked off my head, you see

Tell me
Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?
This really is a major inconvenience, oh man, I really hate it
Such a drag, now ... Can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't snore
I can't belch or yodel anymore
Can't spit or blow my nose or even read Sports Illustrated

Oh no
Why'd I have to go and get myself all mutilated? (yeah, yeah)
I gotta tell ya, life without a head kinda makes me irritated
What a bummer
Can't blink, I can't cough, I can't sneeeze
But my neck is enjoyin' a pleasant breeze now
Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated
No no no

[Disney Guru]

Here are some of my favorite Lyrics.

Who's That Girl
by Hilary Duff

There were places we would go at midnight
There were secrets that nobody else would know
There╝s a reason but I don╝t know why, I know don╝t why, I don╝t know why
I thought they all belonged to me

Who╝s that girl
Where╝s she from
No she can╝t be the one
That she would
That has stolen my world
It╝s not real it╝s not right
It╝s not day it╝s not night
By the way who╝s that girl
Living my life

Seems like everything╝s the same around me
Then I look again at everything has changed
I╝m not dreaming so I don╝t know why, I don╝t know, why I don╝t know why
She╝s everywhere I wanna be

Who╝s that girl
Where╝s she from
No she can╝t be the one
That she would
That has stolen my world
It╝s not real it╝s not right
It╝s not day it╝s not night
By the way who╝s that girl
Living my life

I╝m the one who made you laugh
Who made you feel
Who made you sad
I╝m not sorry
For what we did and who we were
I╝m not sorry I╝m not hurt

Who╝s that girl
Where╝s she from
No she can╝t be the one
That she would
That has stolen my world
It╝s not real it╝s not right
It╝s not day it╝s not night
By the way who╝s that girl
Living my life


It's Magic
by Doris Day

You sigh, a song begins,
You speak and I hear violins
It's magic
The stars desert the skies
And rush to nestle in your eyes
It's magic

Without a golden wand
Or mystic charms,
Fantastic things begin
When I am in your arms

When we walk hand in hand
The world becomes a wonderland
It's magic
How else can I explain
Those rainbows when there is no rain
It's magic...

Why do I tell myself
These things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know
The magic is my love for you

Sentimental Journey
by Doris Day

Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

Got my bag, got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that "All aboard!"

Seven - that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back

Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take that sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

Sentimental journey...

I'll Be Seeing You
by Frank Sinatra

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
And The chestnut trees
The wishing well

And I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
And everything that's bright and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's bright and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

That's Amore
by Dean Martin

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fagiole
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fagiole
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore
Lucky fella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fagiole
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore, (amore)
That's amore

[sCArs]

Here is the lyrics of Dead Or Alive's biggest hit (but definatly not the best song of theirs!)....

DEAD OR ALIVE - YOU SPIN ME ROUND (LIKE A RECORD)

If I, I get to know your name
Well if I, could trace your private number, baby

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some, want some

I set my sights on you
(And no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby

All I know is that to me
You look like you're having fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out here I come

Chorus:

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

I got to be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in just a little bit closer

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

(Chorus)

I want your love...
I want your love...

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

(Chorus)

I want your love...
I want your love...

(Chorus, repeat and fade)

I remember that Madonna was in a movie called "Who's That Girl." lol! Thanks for sharing.

Here are some of my favorite Lyrics.

Who's That Girl
by Hilary Duff

[Jungleprince_55]

Crash World
By:Hilary Duff

Crash, That was you and Me
Started out so innocently
Shattered on the ground, I hear the sound

Crash, Ringing in my ears
I still feel the sting of my tears
Someone wake me, I can't seem to break free

[chorus]
Go on, get out of my head
I'm on the wrong side of a parallel universe
Am I alive of just dead?
I've been stumbling in the dark
Living in a crash world

Hush, Don't say one more word
At this point the truth seems absurb
'Cause who we were is gone forever

Crushed, Underneath our fears
Everything's so twisted and weird
Someone, save me, I can't seem to break free

[chorus]
Go on, get out of my head
I'm on the wrong side of a parallel universe
Am I alive of just dead?
I've been stumbling in the dark
Living in a crash world

Slow motion, Devastation
Should of seen it coming but I couldn't do nothin'
Emotion, Desperation

Someone save me, I can't seem to break free

[chorus] 2x
Go on, get out of my head
I'm on the wrong side of a parallel universe
Am I alive of just dead?
I've been stumbling in the dark
Living in a crash world

Crash World, yeah...

Love - The Sundays

picture myself as a thin white child
back to the day I was born on
they slapped me into line as it crossed my mind
I've felt better
I've felt worse

this is my life & it's all very well but
never again
as they say
"we've been robbed"
& don't you know that
this time

love
just love yourself like no one else
love
it's enough
they can say what they like but they still can't
take that

distance myself from the things I'd like but
everyone has something I need
don't let me wake up & find
all those others leaving me behind

if you don't have a clue about life
then I'm happy to say
neither have I although
I'm not going to shrug my shoulders & suck my thumb
this time
cos there's something I deserve

love
just love yourself like no one else
love
it's enough
they can say what they like but they still can't
take that

picture my house in a postcard town
picture a bomb in the sky
history at the door who could ask for more?
I've felt better

so kill me with love
just love yourself like no one else
time's so scarce where I come from
let them say what they like cos they still can't take your
love

[2099net]

Shake n Vac

Do the Shake n Vac
and put the freshness back
Do the Shake n Vac
and put the freshness back
When your carpet smells fresh
your room does too
So remember what to do
Do the Shake n Vac
and put the freshness back

The Who
'Happy Jack'
Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

'My Generation'
People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation

'Magic Bus'
Every day I get in the queue (Too much, Magic Bus)
To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, Magic Bus)
I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, Magic Bus)
You house is only another mile (Too much, Magic Bus)

Thank you, driver, for getting me here (Too much, Magic Bus)
You'll be an inspector, have no fear (Too much, Magic Bus)
I don't want to cause no fuss (Too much, Magic Bus)
But can I buy your Magic Bus? (Too much, Magic Bus)

Nooooooooo!

I don't care how much I pay (Too much, Magic Bus)
I wanna drive my bus to my baby each day (Too much, Magic Bus)

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ... (You can't have it!)
Thruppence and sixpence every day
Just to drive to my baby
Thruppence and sixpence each day
'Cause I drive my baby every way

Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus ...

I said, now I've got my Magic Bus (Too much, Magic Bus)
I said, now I've got my Magic Bus (Too much, Magic Bus)
I drive my baby every way (Too much, Magic Bus)
Each time I go a different way (Too much, Magic Bus)

I want it, i want it, I want it, I want it ...

Every day you'll see the dust (Too much, Magic Bus)
As I drive my baby in my Magic Bus (Too much, Magic Bus)

'Who Are You'
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

[chorus:]
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

[chorus]

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still recieve your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

[chorus]

'Won't Get Fooled Again'(one of the best songs of all time IMO)
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

'Baba O'Reily (Teenage Wasteland)'(THE best song of all time wether you like it or not )
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

Sally ,take my hand
Travel south crossland
Put out the fire
Don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Oh, oh
Teenage wasteland

They're all wasted

'Pinball Wizard'
Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall...
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He's a pin ball wizard
There has got to be a twist
A pin ball wizard
S'got such a supple wrist

'How do you think he does it? I don't know!
What makes him so good?'

He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always has a replay
'n' never tilts at all...
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pin ball crown to him

Even my usual table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall...
That deaf dumb and blind kind
Sure plays a mean pinball!

Queen
'We Are the Champions'
I've paid my dues, time after time
I've done my sentence, but committed no crime
And bad mistakes, I've made a few
I've had my share of sand, kicked in my face
But I've come through

And I need to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions, We are the champions
No time for losers 'cos we are the champions of the world

I've taken my bows, and my curtain calls
You've bought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it... I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

And I need to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions, We are the champions
No time for losers 'cos we are the champions of the world

We are the champions, my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions, We are the champions
No time for losers, 'cos we are the champions

'We Will Rock You'
Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playing in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place

Singing
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shouting in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo' face, you big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy you're an old man poor man
Pleading with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place

We will we will rock you... singing
We will we will rock you... everybody
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

*along the tune of We Will Rock You*
That is all the lyrics that I've
Gotta show right now ran out of my own songs to play
You got tunes on yo' face, s'got old lace
Playing my music all over the place singing

LYRICS LYRICS OWN YOU!
LYRICS LYRICS OWN YOU!
LYRICS LYRICS OWN YOU!
LYRICS LYRICS OWN YOU!

Sorry, ran out of songs... wanted it to last longer ahem.

GREEN DAY
Homecoming

[Part 1: The death of St. Jimmy]

My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only if you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live
In the streets of shame
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain
There's no signs of hope
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
There's a glow of light
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night
Bearing gifts and trust
The fixture in the city of lust
What the hell's your name?
What's your pleasure and whats your pain?
Do you dream to much?
Do you think what you need is a crutch?
In the crowd of pain. St. Jimmy comes without any shame
He says “we're fucked up”
But we're not the same
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame

Jimmy died today

He blew his brains out into the bay
In the state of mind it's my own private suicide

[Part 2: East 12th St.]

Well nobody cares
Well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
[x2]

Jesus filling out paperwork now
At the facility on east 12th st.
He's not listened to a word now
He's in his own world
And he's daydreaming

He'd rather be doing something else now,
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly,
His life's on the line with anxiety now,
And she had enough,
And he had plenty

Somebody get me out of here
Anybody get me out of here
Somebody get me out of here
GET ME THE FUCK RIGHT OUT OF HERE!

So far away
I don't want to stay
Get me out of here right now
I just wanna be free
Is there a possibility?
Get me out of here right now
This life like dream ain't for me

[Part 3: NOBODY LIKES YOU!]

I fell asleep while watching spike TV
After 10 cups of coffee
And you're still not here
Dreaming of a song
But something went wrong
But I can't tell anyone
'Cause no one's here
Left me here alone
And I should have stayed home
After 10 cups of coffee I'm thinking
(where'd you go?)
Nobody likes you, everyone left you
(where'd you go?)
They're all out without you havin' fun
(where'd you go?)
Everyone left you, nobody likes you
(where'd you go?)
They're all out without you havin' fun
(where'd you go..go..go..go..)

Geeze...Ha..

[Part 4: Rock and roll girlfriend]
[written and sung by Tre Cool]

I got a rock and roll band
I got a rock and roll life
I got a rock and roll girlfriend
And another ex-wife
I got a rock and roll house
I got a rock and roll car
I play the shit out the drums
And I can play the guitar
I got a kid in New York
I got a kid in the bay
I haven't drank or smoked nothin'
In over 22 days
So get off my case
Off of my case
Off of my case!

[Part 5: We're coming home again]

Here they come marching down the street
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat
Coming back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet
The time has come and it going nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair now
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
In the summer heat
The world is spinning
Around and around
Out of control again
From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down
To send my love a letterbomb
And visit me in hell
We're the ones going

Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again

I started fuckin' running
As soon as my feet touched the ground
We're back in the Barrio
But to you and me, that's jingle town

Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again

Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you havin' fun

[Jayden]

There are many good lyrics out there, ones that tell a story, express a point of view, express rebellion. However, the best are the ones that can speak to a person directly and pull them into a song. For example:



"Bell Boy"
Performed By: The Who
Written By: Peter Townshend
Album: Quadrophenia
1973

A Beach Is A Place Where A Man Can Feel,
He's The Only Soul In The World That's Real

While the rest of the song is equally as engaging for young men (as we've all felt this way at some point), these lies are especially poigniant for me

[Jayden]

The Who
'Happy Jack'

'My Generation'

'Magic Bus'

'Who Are You'

'Won't Get Fooled Again'(one of the best songs of all time IMO)

'Baba O'Reily (Teenage Wasteland)'(THE best song of all time wether you like it or not )

'Pinball Wizard'

Queen
'We Are the Champions'

'We Will Rock You'

Some good choices in there mate, but a lot of safe ones. Take a bit more of a chance and step outside of the box. Step away from the singles and popular songs. A lot of The Who's greatest work was released on the albums (For example, Bell Boy, Put The Money Down, Dreaming From The Waist, and Eminence Front). Maybe take a look at those songs as well, because if you love the ones you've listed, you'll probably absolutely adore the ones I've listed here.

The same goes for Queen. While the couple that you mentioned are indeed great tunes, there is so much better material from them. For example, The Show Must Go On (THE most powerful song ever written and performed, you MUST hear this song!), Breakthrough, Mother Love (This one will put you in tears), The March of the Black Queen, and Los Parablas Des Amours.

Just some listening suggestions, take them as you see fit (BTW, Baba O'Reilly is not subtitled Teenage Wasteland. Teenage Wasteland is a completely different song written by Pete Townshend for his play Lifehouse which was finally completed in 2000 (Sorry, I'm a huge Who fan and can't stand it when this kind of mistake is made))

Getting back on subject here,

The Show Must Go On
Performed By: Queen
Written By: Queen
Album: Innuendo
1991

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...

Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore

The show must go on,
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?

I guess I'm learning (learning, learning), I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning (turning, turning, turning), round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends

The show must go on
The show must go on

I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On - with the show -

I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the show -
The show must go on...

(Keep in mind, when this song was recorded, Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen was merely months away from passing away from an AIDS-related illness. The power and raw emotion in his voice is simply amazing, this man gave his all to his music)

[Sunset Girl]

For some reason lately I haven't been able to get enough of System of a Down's "When Angels Deserve to Die." There's something about the last part of the song that really gets to me; not just the lyrics but the way it is sung:

Father, father, father, father
Father into your hands, I commend my spirit
Father into your hands
Why have you forsaken me
In your eyes forsaken me
In your thoughts forsaken me
In your heart forsaken, me oh
Trust in my self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die
In my self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die

On a more positve note, one of my favorite songs ever is "Drive" by Incubus, which has helped me get through my depression many times:

Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I cant help but ask myself how much I’ll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It’s driven me before, it seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
Lately I’m beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there, I’ll be there
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh
It’s driven me before, it seems to be the way
That everyone else gets around
Lately, I’m beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there, I’ll be there
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there, I’ll be there

The line in bold holds a special importance to me; that's the key to getting yourself out of depression. It's easy to feel helpless but once you realize you have the power to choose your own path you can lift yourself out of it. The only problem is that I have to keep lifting myself over and over. . .
