[pixey]

Ancient Earth work fort and barrow

Discreetly hide their secret abodes

The most fearful hide deep inside

And venture not there upon Yuletide

 

For invasion of their hollow hills

That music hold and Oberon fill

Is surely recommended not

For fear of death, in fear of rot

 

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

 

Baleful sounds and wild voices ignored

Ill luck disaster the one reward

Violated sanctity of supermen's hills

So sad, love lies there still

So sad

So sad

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

Witches too and goblin too and speckled sills

Lament repent oh mortal you

So sad

So sad

 

 

Bauhaus- Hollowed Hills

[Batman]

Life it seems, will fade away

Drifting further every day

Getting lost within myself

Nothing matters no one else

I have lost the will to live

Simply nothing more to give

There is nothing more for me

Need the end to set me free

 

Things are not what they used to be

Missing one inside of me

Deathly lost, this can't be real

Cannot stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filing me

To the point of agony

Growing darkness taking dawn

I was me, but now He's gone

 

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late

Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed

Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

Frank Zappa - Truck Driver Divorce

 

 

Truck driver divorce!

Its very sad

(Steel guitars

Usually weep all over it)

 

The bold & Intelligent

MASTERS OF THE ROAD

With their Secret Language

And their GIANT

OVER-SIZED

MECHANICAL

TRANS-CONTINENTAL

HOBBY-HORSE!

 

Truck driver divorce!

Its very sad

Oh the wife!

Oh the kids!

Oh the waitress!

Oh the drive all night!

 

Sometimes when you come home,

Some ugly lookin son-of-a-bitch

Is trying to pooch yer

HOME-TOWN-SWEETHEART

 

Oh go ride the bull!

Oh go ride the bull!

Make it go up 'n down

'N when you fall off

You can eat the mattress!

 

TRUCK DRIVER DIVORCE!

ITS VERY SAD

Bust yer ass

To deliver some string beans (oh yes!)

Deliver some string beans

Deliver a whole bunch of string beans

To

UTAH!

[Oberon]

Heart-Raised On You

 

You are the only ones

You save me from myself

My company shows on me

I've been raised on you

 

And when it just ain't fair

Nothing's left to do

But sit down here

And have a beer

Whatever the world wants to choose

 

Don't let it fade

Don't trade love away

Just keep a sweet dream true

Let's go tell the world

To quit turning cold

Just let me be raised on you

 

We don't have to change just now

We can laugh about the load

I can see us later

Lighted eyes

Likely be laughing

Down the road

[kazzman]

Dr. Stein makes funny creatures

Lets them run into the night

They all become great politians

And their time is right

[Mustard Death]

I was waiting for a cross-town train in the london underground

When it struck me that i've been waiting since birth to find

A love that would look and sound like a movie so i changed

My plans and rented a camera and a van and then i called you

"i need you to pretend that we are in love again" and you agreed to

 

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"

And i want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in

The script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it

The marker snapped and i yelled "quiet on the set"

And then called "action!"

And i kissed you in a stye that clark gable would have admired

(i thought it classic)

 

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"

And i want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear

That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?

King Crimson - The World's My Oyster Soup Kitchen Floor Wax Museum

 

Hat bandana Graham cracker jackhammer in

a nail file suit your self-serviceman

the world's my oyster soup kitchen floor wax museum

autographed pictures of Shakespeare fishing

gear head phone Madison Square garden hose

the world's my oyster soup kitchen floor wax museum

 

and the chorus:

Get set get wet get fat get fit get a life

get it on get it up get it off me

the world's my oyster soup kitchen floor wax museum

get sacked get the facts get a load of this

get pissed get real get over it get it over with

the world's my oyster soup kitchen floor wax museum

 

Cannibal dog house plan B happy

as a lark's tongue in cheekbone china doll

the world's my oyster soup kitchen floor wax museum

don't ask Y2 cake and eat it too

nothing lasts for evergreen thumbscrew

the world's my oyster soup kitchen door frame by frame

 

Get back slapback backtalk halfback back track talkback

back to back I'll be back to get you back

the world's my oyster soup kitchen floor wax museum

get bumped get pumped get dumped get the funk

get sick get fixed get jiggy with it

the world's my oyster souffle mignon

 

Get set get wet get fat get fit

get along little doggie, get it off me

oyster soup kitchen floor wax

get sacked get the facts get a load of this

the world's my oyster soup kitchen floor wax museum

 

(You will notice the wordplay in the title and the verses: "the world's my oyster / oyster soup / soup kitchen / kitchen floor / floor wax / wax museum")

[bytorcygnus]

Watching the sand fall,

 

listening for the knock

upon my door;

and waiting.....

for Promised Land.

 

Standing neck deep in life,

my ring of brass

lay rusting on the floor,

Is this all?,

because it's not what I expected.

 

Somewhere along the way

friends I once held close

fled the fast lane,

I didn't notice.

I just had to make it,

Head down, nose to the grindstone;

the kiss of life

placed on my brow

somehow slid to the ground

and lies buried six feet under.

[bytorcygnus]

You called me up on the phone today

struggling with the right words to say.

Time can change a thing or two.

Time has changed the lives of me and you..

but you know...it could have been different dad.

 

The word brings back a sweet memory,

I'm sitting on a bluff on a broken tree,

by my side a distinguished man giving me

encouragement, telling me I can, and you know...

you're not there.

 

 

 

[bytorcygnus]

Doesn't matter what you see,

or into it what you read.

You can do it your own way..

If it's done just how I say...

[Mustard Death]

Let me taste

Let me feel

I need to know what you keep inside

No need to speak

Just let it be

Carry out this wish for me let nothing interfere

Rise to submission

I'm still beneath in the soil

Discard your clothes

Let loose your hair

We're intertwinded forever and have always been

Say the word

And I'll depart

Upon your lips dwells nothing but the meaning of my cause

And so comes the dark

Vibrant as ever before

Flowers already withered

In this endless winter of souls

Outside the park

The days move along

And nothing ever changes

They have nothing on us

But we're always knew

That nothing ever changes

Rise to submission

I'm still beneath in the soil

This is ours alone

Feeding off the warmth

Lured out from the inside

Depending on the life blood

Silently

Whispering

Move in me set me free

 

Opeth - By the Pain I See in Others

[defrushfan01]

Shouting Johnys wispers from here to Timbucktoo

I love the way you do what you do

Three sides to every story

Yours mine and the truth

yours mine and the truth

[defrushfan01]

stand up kick love into motion

stand up kick love into motion

take me into your arms and throw me into the ground

babay.

We make your car on the street like backword

We kick you harder than washington packers

So, please take a letter for a punch to the face

Nothing could be better than a punch to the face

You not very good like Puff Doggie and Lace

So take off your socks and jump off of the race

Have another punch to you face

GO TELL YOUR MOTHER YOU GOT PUNCHED IN THE FACE!!

[Mustard Death]

^^^ That's their best, in my opinion.

 

Now that everything's in place, you're lining up the pins

And needles down the longest trail,

You've got the answer but it lasts

As long as you can smile but pretty soon your cheeks will hurt

 

I'm not trying to make things worse

But you're thinking in reverse

Now that everything is never too much...

 

Take the standard line and turn

It back upon itself to see what hurt is once you've felt

Coz we've been numb like corridors

And dry like tumbleweed,

This hospital's my favourite church...

 

And i got it alright..

To see what i can see is taking over me.

 

The Dissociatives - Thinking in Reverse

[Batman]

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas

I'm travellin' on, far and wide

But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself

And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but

someone else

 

I close my eyes, and think of home

Another city goes by in the night

Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it's

gone away

And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my

dying day

 

So understand

Don't waste your time always searching for

those wasted years

Face up... make your stand

And realise you're living in the golden years

 

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind

Can't ease this pain, so easily

When you can't find the words to say it's hard to

make it through another day

And it makes me wanna cry and throw my

hands up to the sky

[barney_rebel]

[madra sneachta]

Into the flash of lightning star-riders are hurled,

see them bumping and grinding bareback

on the wheels of the world,

you can see the dawn a'coming

or is that the flash of a spear,

ah, the day will come?

the dawn will break: the day breaks here.

 

We've got the power and the glory,

we're going to take it from here.

 

People say we've got the power,

the phrase I think is hearts and minds,

Never mind where we came from,

we've left our history books behind.

Not so much teachers as fighters,

and what we teach is how we fight,

and we're going to ring the changes,

we're going to ring it right.

 

Horslips - The Power And The Glory

[Mustard Death]

From every human complexity

And nature's twisted analogy

An urge to explain - to understand

Springs out with the nation to expand

The narrow view of what we are

 

Could a mathematical formula

Improve our existential stamina

Would explaining our kin universally

Keep up our vital vivacity

Or would it onshroud us in disillusion

 

The notion of our emancipation

Lies far from any genuine liberation

Seeking a detailed explanation

We think therefore we're cursed

 

As questions multiply with every solution

The "why" stands untouchable - no intrusion

A constant flow of total inconstancy

A natural starfelt divinity

 

Could a mathematical formula

Improve our existential stamina

Would explaining our kin universally

Keep up our vital vivacity

Or would it onshroud us in disillusion

 

The notion of our emancipation

Lies far from any genuine liberation

Seeking a detailed explanation

We think therefore we're blessed

 

A Machiavellian way of thought

In struggle with all that society sought

A full explanation's the king of our dreams

To know: what's our role in the scheme of schemes

Where is our place in this order of chaos?

 

The notion of our emancipation

Lies far from any genuine liberation

Seeking a detailed explanation

We think therefore we are
