custom55 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The Who I got a GibsonWithout a caseBut I can't get that even tanned look on my face.Ill fitting clothesI blend in the crowd,Fingers so clumsyVoice too loud. But I'm one. Rolling Stones I was drowned, I was washed up and left for deadI fell down, to my feet and I saw they bledYeah, sure and I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, sureYeah, I was crowned with a spike right through my headBut it's all right now, in fact it's a gasBut it's all rightI'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas The Beatles I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets inAnd stops my mind from wanderingWhere it will go I'm filling the cracks that ran through the doorAnd kept my mind from wanderingWhere it will go And it really doesn't matter ifI'm wrong I'm rightWhere I belong I'm rightWhere I belongSee the people standing thereWho disagree and never winAnd wonder why they don't get in my door 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. P. L. Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 The Who first of all, although I can't see the Pink Floyd connection you suggested. They couldn't be more far apart in my view. American Music ClubThe wind pulls me aroundand everything it touches turns weakAn antique or an eyelash stuck to your cheekThe paper thin skin of a crowd chasing you downa long and dead-end trailwith a guilt no alibi can curtailThe world is held together by the windThat blows through Gena Rowland’s hair Molotov - a little off the hook (ok, not just a little) Quisiera ya dormir rico, ojalá que lo logreCada vez más siento que duermo más pobreMe pican los ojos con intereses cabronesQue solo llenan bolsillos que ya tienen millones Y la mochada de hacienda siempre va en aumentoIba a pagar mi IVA y lo iba pagar a tiempoPero se fue con el viento, ya no me alcanzaPor eso me llaman y llaman los de cobranza Con prepotencia por el retrasoSin conocerme mire el hambre que pasoPiden mis datos, yo me presentoComo Mr. JonnyCash pero yo ni cash tengo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitboaf Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Besides Rush… Elvis Costello (Couldn't Call it Unexpected No. 4)I saw a girl who'd found her consolation She said "One day my Prince of Peace will come" Above her head a portrait of her father The wilted favour that he gave her still fastened to the frame "They've got his bones and everything he owns I've got his name"Well you can laugh at this sentimental story But in time you'll have to make amends The sudden chill where lovers doubt their immortality As the clouds cover the sky the evening ends Describing a picture of eyes finally closing As you sometimes glimpse terrible faces in the fire We'll I'm the lucky goon Who composed this tune from birds arranged on the high wireWho on earth is tapping at the window? Does that face still linger at the pane? I saw you shiver though the room was like a furnace A shadow of regret across a young mother's face So toll the bell or rock the cradle Please don't let me fear anything I cannot explain I can't believe, I'll never believe in anything again Decembrists (Leslie Anne Levine)My name is Leslie Anne Levine My mother birthed me down a dry ravine My mother birthed me far too soon Born at nine and dead at noon Fifteen years gone now I still wander this parapet And shake my rattle bone Fifteen years gone now I still cling to the petticoat Of the girl who died with me Joni Mitchell (Blue)Blue, songs are like tattoosYou know I've been to sea beforeCrown and anchor me or let me sail away Hey blue, there is a song for youInk on a pin underneath the skinAn empty space to fill in Well, theres so many sinking nowYou've got to keep thinkingYou can make it through these wavesAcid, booze and assNeedles, guns and grassLots of laughs, lots of laughs Everybody's saying that Hells the hippest way to goWell, I don't think so but Im gonna take a look around it thoughBlue, I love you Blue, here is a shell for youInside you'll hear a sigh, a foggy lullabyThere is your song from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condemned2bfree Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xOX-xy3lNo The rains move in eastwards, in waves of successionDrawing lines of grey across the skyWith history just as close as a hand on the shoulderIn hunger and impatience we cryThe battle against corruption rages in each cornerThere must be something better, something pureAnd the call it is answered from the caves to the citiesCome the dealers of Salvation on EarthWe've seen the restless children at the head of the columnsCome to purify the future with the arrogance of youthNothing is as cruel as the righteousness of innocentsWith automatic weapons and a gospel of the truth Chorus:Revolution for ever, succession of the seasonsWithin the blood of Nature, all raised to rot and dieThis purity is a lie Now immaculate conception in sterilised laboratoriesHow the vanity goes onOr in the message of the preacher with his morals and obsessionsThe wars that we wage upon ourselvesPurity is a virtue, purity is an angelPurity is for madmen to make fools of us allSo forgive yourself my friend, all this will soon be overWhat happened here tonight is nothing at all Chorus:Revolution for ever . . . I will always see Brendan at that broken down pianoHis fingers thick and red, shaking on the keysBattered by the years of alcohol and workingStill playing with the faith that never leavesSo sit us down, buy us a drink, tell us a good storySing us a song we know to be trueI don't give a damn that I never will be worthyFear is the only enemy that I still know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Liking the New Model Army love here, one of my favourite bands I think 225 is a great song as it manages to somehow blend complete nihilism with warmth and humanity She stares at the screen, at the little words of greenTries to remember what to do nextThere's a trace of frustration that crosses her faceSearching through the keys she should pressBut I would help her if I only know howBut these things are a mystery to me tooAnd it seems to the corporate eyes they are watchingShe fears for her job and the moments they are passingI stare at her name tag and I think to myselfBoth you and I, we never asked for any of this Let's take a walk up past the chemical worksWhere the sky turns green at nightWe'll talk about not getting away from hereSome different kind of lifeBut even in the freshest mountain airOh, the jet fighters practice overheadAnd they're drilling these hills for uranium depositsAnd they'll bury the waste for our children to inheritThough this is all done for our own benefitI swear we never asked for any of this Well, this golden age of communicationMeans everyone just talks at the same timeAnd liberty just means the freedom to exploitAny weakness that you can findTurn off the TV just for a whileLet us whisper to each other insteadAnd we'll hope that the corporate ears do not listenLest we find ourselves committing some kind of treasonAnd filed in the tapes without rhyme, without reasonWhile they tell us that it's all for our own protectionI swear we never asked for any of this Oh, I swear we never asked, not for any of thisOh, I swear we never asked for any of thisOh, I swear we never asked for any of thisOh, I swear Edited December 22, 2014 by Fridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
