BestIKenster Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 When they turn the pages of history When these days have passed long ago Will they read of us with sadness For the seeds that we let grow We turned our gaze From the castles in the distance Eyes cast down On the path of least resistance Cities full of hatred Fear and lies Withered hearts And cruel, tormented eyes Scheming demons Dressed in kingly guise Beating down the multitude And scoffing at the wise The hypocrites are slandering The sacred halls of Truth Ancient nobles showering Their bitterness on youth Can't we find The minds that made us strong Can't we learn To feel what's right and wrong Cities full of hatred Fear and lies Withered hearts And cruel, tormented eyes Scheming demons Dressed in kingly guise Beating down the multitude And scoffing at the wise Can't we raise our eyes And make a start Can't we find the minds To lead us closer to the Heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ain't no people on the old dirt road No more weather on the old dirt road But it's better than a mudslide mamma when the dry spell come Oh oh oh old dirt road Ain't no difference on the old dirt road Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road Trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind Breezing thru the deadwood on a hot summer day I saw a human being lazybonin' out in the hay I said uh, hey Mr. Human can ya rainmaker too? He said I guess it's OK ya know the only thing we need is water Cool, clear water! Ain't no people on the old dirt road No more weather on the old dirt road But it's better than a mudslide mamma when the morning come Oh oh oh old dirt road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanneeeeee Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Here's a little trap That sometimes catches everyone When today's as far as we can see Faith in bright tomorrows giving way to resignation That's how it is - how it's going to be It's such a cloudy day Seems we'll never see the sun Or feel the day has possibilities Frozen in the moment - the lack of imagination Between how it is and how it ought to be Here's a little trap That sometimes trips up everyone When we tire of our own company Sometimes we're the last to see beyond the day's frustrations That's how it is - how it's going to be It's such a cloudy day Seems we'll never see the sun I feel the day is all uncertainty Burning in the moment - trapped by the desperation Between how it is and how it ought to be Foot upon the stair Shoulder to the wheel You can't tell yourself not to care You can't tell yourself how to feel That's how it is Another cloudy day Sunshine State, my a$$!!!

Arleen2112 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Begin the day With a friendly voice A companion, unobtrusive Plays that song thats so elusive And the magic music makes your morning mood Off on your way Hit the open road There is magic at your fingers For the spirit ever lingers Undemanding contact In your happy solitude Invisible airwaves Crackle with life Bright antennae bristle With the energy Emotional feedback On a timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price --- Almost free... All this machinery Making modern music Can still be open-hearted Not so coldly charted Its really just a question Of your honesty One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity For the words of the profits Are written on the studio wall, Concert hall --- Echoes with the sounds... Of salesmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joanneeeeee Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 As the waves crash in On the western shore The wind blows fierce from the east Wave tops torn into flying spindrift As the waves crash in On the western shore It makes me feel uneasy The spray that's torn away Is an image of the way I feel What am I supposed to say? Where are the words to answer you When you talk that way? As sun goes down On the western shore The wind blows hard from the east It whips the sand into a flying spindrift As the sun goes down On the western shore It makes me feel uneasy In the hot dry rasp of the devil winds Who cares what a fool believes What am I supposed to say? Where are the words to answer you When you talk that way? Words that fly against the wind and waves A little closer to you Where is the wave that will carry me A little closer to you? Where is the wind that will carry me What am I supposed to say? Where are the words to answer you When you talk that way? What am I supposed to do? Where are the words that will make you see What I believe is true? Where is the wave that will carry me A little closer to you Where is the wind that will carry me A little closer to you?

joanneeeeee Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 When the dragons grow too mighty To slay with pen or sword I grow weary of the battle And the storm I walk toward When all around is madness And there's no safe port in view I long to turn my path homeward To stop a while with you When life becomes as barren And as cold as winter skies There's a beacon in the darkness In a distant pair of eyes In vain to search for honor In vain to search for truth But these things can still be given Your love has shown me proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanneeeeee Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Suddenly, you were gone From all the lives you left your mark upon I remember How we talked and drank into the misty dawn I hear the voices We ran by the water on the wet summer lawn I see the footprints I remember I feel the way you would I feel the way you would Tried to believe but you know it's no good This is something that just can't be understood I remember The shouts of joy skiing fast through the woods I hear the echoes I learned your love for life, I feel the way that you would I feel your presence I remember I feel the way you would This just can't be understood...

TheRocinanteKid Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 This one's for Jaye, but anyone can enjoy it. Some of the best lyrics ever. The rain auditions at my window Its symphony echoes in my womb My gaze scans the walls of this apartment To rectify the confines of my tomb Im the cyclops in the tenement Im the soul without the cause Crying midst my rubber plants, ignoring beckoning doors Clippings from ancient newspapers lie scattered cross the floor Stained by the wine from a shattered glass Meaningless words Yellowed by time Faded photos exposing pain Celluloid leeches bleeding my mind Christ, youve finished playing hangman Youve cast the fateful dice Advice, advice, advice me, this shroud will not suffice And thus begins the web Attempting to discard these clinging memories I only serve to wallow in our past I fabricate the weave with my excuses Its strands I hope and pray shall last Oh please do last Oh please do last The flytrap needs the insects Ivy caresses the wall Needles make love to the junkies The sirens seduce with their call Confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me Confused and rejected, despised and alone, I kiss isolation on its fevered brow Security clutching me Obscurity threatening me Christ, your reasons were so obvious as my friends have qualified I only laughed away your tears, but even cry But even cry I realise I hold the key to freedom Oh I cannot let my life be ruled by threads The time has come to make decisions The changes have to be made I realise I hold the key to freedom I cannot let my life be ruled by threads The time has come to make decisions The changes have to be made Now I leave you The past does have its say Youre all but forgotten A mote in my heart Decisions have been made Theyve been made Decisions have been made Ive conquered my fears, all my fears The flaming shroud, the flaming shroud Thus ends the web, the web, the web, the web, the web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant song from an even better album. The Web - Marillion I actually used the lyrics from The Web to analyse as part of some English Language coursework I had to do last year. Someone else in the class wanted to do an Oasis song (Worst band ever?) but the teacher said it wasn't complex enough lyrically, she saw the Marillion song and wouldn't believe it was a song. She thought it was some obscure arty poetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joanneeeeee Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 I said I played this song so many times before That the melody keeps repeating. Growing new ideas, flowing chords and notes, Like a mountain river bleeding. Well, I say as I look back at all the thoughts I've had, They reflect just what I'm learning. Yes, you know that the hardest part, yes, I say it is to stay on top, On top of a world forever churning. Well, you say you laugh, but I can see that your eyes are glass. Well, do you see, can't you see,can you see what I'm feeling? Yes, I've seen your face before. Why said I've seen it everywhere, Showing up to me without a scent revealing. Well, I said will it ever change? Oh yes lord i said Will it stay the same? I'd surely like to know before it's over. Well, I said I played this song. Yes I said it won't be long, Won't be long before I stop and play, play another. You know I've, I've seen your face before. Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again? Oh, oh I've, I've been in one place too long. Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestIKenster Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Though we might have precious little It's still precious I like that song about this wonderful world It's got a sunny point of view And sometimes I feel it's true At least for a few of us I like that world, it makes a wonderful song But there's a darker point of view But sadly just as true For so many among us Though we might have precious little It's still precious In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak In the strongest man there's a child so weak In the whole wide world there's no magic place So you might as well rise put on your bravest face I like that show where they solve all the murders An heroic point of view It's got justice and vengeance too At least so the story goes I like that story, makes a satisfying case But there's a messy point of view That's sadly just as true For so many among us In softest voice there's an acid tongue In the oldest eyes there's a soul so young In the shakiest will there's a core of steel On the smoothest ride there's a squeaky wheel Though we might have precious little It's still precious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
