And the meek shall inherit the Earth...

 

 

 

Cat's foot, iron claw - neurosurgeons scream for more!

 

 

 

Really don't mind if you sit this one out...

 

 

Can you tell me where my country lies?

"While the music played you worked by candlelight

Those San Francisco nights... you were the best in town..."

> album - The Royal Scam

 

 

"I opened up the pathway of the heart

The flowers died, embittered from the start

That night I crossed the bridge of sighs, and I surrendered..."

> album - Dead Bees On A Cake

 

 

"Dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources, chased amid fusions of wonder in moments hardly seen, forgotten..."

> album - Tales From Topographic Oceans

Back-to-back great openers from the boys from down under:

 

"Livin' easy, livin' free

Season ticket on a one way ride..."

 

"I'm rollin' thunder, pourin' rain

I'm comin' on like a hurricane..."

She's got me dizzy
She sees me through to the end
She's got me in her hands
And there's no use in pretending

Christine sixteen
Christine sixteen

She drives me crazy
I want to give her all I've got
And she's hot every day and night
There is no doubt about it

Except those aren't the opening lyrics to that album. biggrin.gif wink.gif

You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you preach...

In France, skinny man

Died of a big disease with a little name

By chance his girlfriend came across a needle

Soon she did the same

At home there are seventeen year old boys

And their idea of fun

Is being in a gang called The Disciples

High on crack, totin' a machine gun

 

Dearly beloved

We are gathered here today

2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life

It means forever and that's a mighty long time

But I'm here 2 tell u

There's something else

The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness

U can always see the sun, day or night

So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills

U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright

Instead of asking him how much of your time is left

Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cuz in this life

Things are much harder than in the afterworld

In this life

You're on your own

And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down

Go crazy - punch a higher floor

Sonata Arctica - Reckoning Night

 

"Misplaced"

 

Sometimes i feel so out of time an place

Trapped in the maze

As if i was lost in someone else's life

The values i should keep in high regard don't mean a thing to me

 

 

Yes - Going For the One

 

"Going For the One"

 

Get the idear

Cross around the track

When you leap on the flank

Of a thoroughbred racing chaser

I didn't feel like I should deprive the forum of further exposure to the poetry of Gene Simmons due to a technicality.

My words but a wisper, your deafness a shout.

Sorry, I had to. wink.gif

No problem, it was an honest mistake. I've only discovered the song 2 months ago.

A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace,

And rearrange you liver to the solid mental grace,

And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar,

Then taste the fruit of man recording losing all against the hour.

 

-Close To The Edge, Yes

 

 

I also found these rather genius:

I actually lol'd for a second.

I skimmed the thread just to see if this was said.

All the Fixx's are fabulous, but I'll pick out Phantoms (album) because of the pun -

 

"Lose Face"

 

Forbidden Image

Do you care to think on

 

One trouble shooter

That we could fix (pause) on

This fevered globe

Was always meant to be

A home from home

But who's looking after

 

Lose face, lose face

In your place...

 

 

This song goes on to have some of my favorite lines in a song ever -

 

We all breathe in the same air

Yet we all die for the airspace

 

FABULOUS.
