Music Lyrics....

ok one for you, you might get it

The house caught on fire in the winter the bosses lay slain
and each of the workers decided to ten-fold their pay
and they saw in the mirror the sun had been shot down in flames
and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain

but it doesnt really matter
when the judgements are said
'cos we all take our chances to find our romances in some others bed
and you might burn your fingers
hook your best friends rings for those
who'd have you standing naked then publicly auction the use of a hose

all the children where laughing
their faces in half at the pain
of the girl who loved talking to walls and jumping at trains
and the words that ring true in the playground of fools will remain
and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain

Umm.. no... and no I have no idea what your song is Ian, sorry :( I have only Weezer - Say It Ain't So in my head at the mo cos that's what's playing on Napster :)

it's policmen & pirates by ocean colour scene. If you haven't heard their first album mosley shoals, I highly recommend it, great brittish indie rock group. By the way sorry for the bad pun about the smashing pumpkins

Ahhhhhh I seeeeeee it was a pun. Sorry, it just confused me :rolleyes: The song title's wrong anyway :)

what is it then

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

dohh, I was close, I just remembered, that's the bloody album name, haven't heard it for while

Ok then harry, another one for you , should be a easy one

I met him in crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
he sat me down and so began
....... name of song

educated the expensive way
he knows his claret from his bougelet (don't know about the spelling)
I've begun to get a little boss-eyed
......

Blur - Charmless Man :)

Would resply with another but I have to go and have an exam in Cognitive Processes now, fun huh?

Wish me luck *waves*

have fun

slightly harder one

everybody ask's your name, they say were all the same
and it's nice one, geeza, that's as far as the conversation went

I lost my friend's, I dance alone, it's six am and I want to go home

Pulp - Sorted for Es and Wizz

well done - I thought that one would be a bit more obsscure

Well here's one from me:

Quote:

---

Conceived in a hell beyond your depth of perception
Chaotic case of conquering domination
Psychopath snaps fired chains of imprisonment
A bludgeoning force that’s undermining the government

Inflict strain upon the structure
Collapsing below the pressure
Inflict strain upon the structure
Collapsing below the pressure

---

And since noone will probably get that one, here's another (with full lyrics):

Quote:

---

When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighbourhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighbourhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives?

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams

Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on?
The cruellest dream, reality

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams

One of my old favourites actually :)

fear factory and EDGECRUSHER

offspring - the kid's aren't alright

Oh very good ;) Wasn't really expecting anyone to get that one.

I cheated on the first one, but new the offspring one. just downloaded it (god I love 2mb connections) as I haven't heard it for a while

*Rolls eyes* I had a feeling you might have done :rolleyes:

That Offspring song is good innit? Me like.

that it is, i've alway's liked offspring.

Harry....we need help here in our little cube farm....

There is a song out there that goes something like this....

This is what you get...
This is what you get..
This is what you get if you mess with us

The song is really upbeat until it gets to the chorus (above).

It's a fairly new song..heard on the alternative station a couple of times and then gone.

Sound familiar at all????

Hi katie

Karma police - by radiohead. Taken from the albumn OK computer. One damn fine song, ond damn fine ablumn

Thanks Ian! You saved us all!

Glad I could be of help. I didn't realise radiohead was that big in the states. there one of my all time favorite groups, although it wasn't really untill OK computer came out that they became mainstream. If you get a chance, listen to their previous album, "The bends", it's one of the best album's i've heard.

I'll give you some of the lyrics and hopefully you can clue me in. I may have the words a bit confused.


.....blah blah blah, talk about sorrow and the next line ends with swallow, blah blah blah.

The chorus is something like:
"Im on the outside
I'm looking in
I see your true colors
I know where you been (probably not the right words but it rhymes)
Cause inside you're ugly
Ugly like me
I can see through you
..................."

George Michael?

I'd be VERY surprised if that were true Parksie. Sounds a little bit like Nirvana's style as far as the music goes...We've heard two versions...one unplugged one not.

I don't know - I was just absently wondering ;)

Just 'cause the lyrics contain the word swallow doesn't mean that George Michaels has to come into it....

It was the word "outside", actually! :)

Only thing I can think of that's in that style and has lines ending in 'swallow' (or near enough) is Bush - Swallowed. Which I like a lot, incidentally.

Thanks, Harry, but that wasn't it. It really bugging me!

Come to think of it the lyrics to that are completely different :rolleyes::

Quote:

---

Warm sun feed me up
And I'm leery loaded up
Loathing for a change
And I slip some boil away

Swallowed followed
Heavy about everything but my love
Swallowed sorrowed
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet

Just wanted to be myself
Hey you said that you would love to try some
Hey you said you would love to die some
In the middle of a world on a fishhook
You're the wave
You're the wave
You're the wave

Swallowed borrowed
Heavy about everything but my love
Swallowed hollowed
Sharp about everyone but yourself
Swallowed oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and you're not
I'm with everyone and yet

Piss on self-esteem
Forward Busted knee
Sick head blackened lungs
And I'm simple selfish son

Swallowed followed
Heavy about everything but my love
Swallowed oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not

Got to get away from here
Got to get away from here
Got to get away from here
Got to get away from here

I miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot

Err yeah you got there before me ;)

Got it:

Staind - Outside

You are the best!!!!! Buy yourself a beer or two and send me the bill........forever in your debt!

If you insist :)

Well sicne it's been a while, here's another snippet:

Quote:

---

come down
and waste away with me
down with me

slow how
you wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang

and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if every thing could ever be this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I'll ever ask of you
you gotta promise not to stop when I say when

Morning harry

Foo Fighters - everlong

another fine tune, from a fine band

One for you lot then

She's got a cousin
in fact she's got 'bout a dozen
but she's got one in the oven
and it's nothing to do with me
