These aren't my favourite lyrics, but I thought I'd post them anyway cos I'm listening to this song a lot recently and the lyrics amuse me!

"So Macho" by Sinitta

I don't want no seven stone weakling nor a boy who thinks he's a girl
I'm after a hunk of a guy, and experienced man of the world
There ain't no way that I'll make do, with anything less than I'm used to
If I have a man tonight he's gotta be right right right

So macho he's gotta be so macho
He's gotta big big and strong, enough to turn me on
He's gotta have big blue eyes, be able to satisfy
He's gotta big big and strong, enough to turn me on

I'm tired of taking the lead I want a man who will dominate me
Someone who will love and protect me and take care of my every need
Now I don't mean to be personal but a guy like that's more preferable
In my humble point of view than any of you

So macho he's gotta be so macho
He's gotta big big and strong, enough to turn me on
He's gotta have big blue eyes, be able to satisfy
He's gotta big big and strong, enough to turn me on and on and on and on oooh

I am in need of a man oooh
I am in need of a man a man a man a man a man

He's gotta be so macho so Macho
Big and strong, enough to turn me on oh oh oh oh oh oh
So macho He's gotta be so macho
Big and strong, enough to turn me on
He's gotta have big blue eyes
Be able to satisfy
Big and strong, enough to turn me on!

The song is really cool, but the lyrics are too!

Stranger Things Have Happened

Goddamn "these stars to your room"
This hazy afternoon
I'm breathing in the silence like I've never before
This feeling that i get
This one last cigarette
As i lay awaken and wait for you to come through the door
Oh maybe, maybe, maybe i can share it with you
I behave i behave i behave so i can share it with you

You are not alone dear loneliness
You forgot but i remember this
So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened i know
I'm not alone dear loneliness
I forgot that i remember this
So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened i know, oh ohh, oh ohhh

And i dream about somewhere, a smoke will fill the air
As i lay awaken and wait for you to walk out that door

I can change, i can change, i can change
But who you want me to be?
I'm the same, i'm the same, i'm the same, what do you want me to be?

You are not alone dear loneliness
You forgot but i remember this
So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened i know oh ohh, oh ohh

I'm not alone dear loneliness
I forgot that i remember this
You're not alone dear loneliness
You forgot but i remember this
Oh stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened i know

I'm not alone dear loneliness
I forgot that i remember this
Oh stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened i know oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohhh

Coloured Bedspread - Annie Lennox

Bright lights are growing dim
I wanna hide again
The nights are cavin' in
On my coloured bedspread
I wanna drift so far
To slip out of the crowd
It doesn't matter how
On my coloured bedspread

You make the stars dissolve
Like sugar melting in my mouth

Some people come and go
But they won't ever know
About the things we do
On my coloured bedspread
I remember places ive been to
Remember things I never knew
Remember dreams that all came true
On my coloured bedspread

We make the stars collide
I touch the planets
Through your eyes

Can you feel it?
Tell me can you feel it now?

You make the stars dissolve
Like sugar melting in my mouth

The Cranberries - Still Can't

Still can't recognize the way I feel (I feel, I feel).

Nothing of what you said to me was real.
And you still can't find the strength,
To apologize, (-ogize, -ogize).
You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies.

'Cause you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all.
No, and there's nothing at all,
There's nothing at all, there's nothing at all.

Maybe if you could see beyond,
Your nose, (your nose, your nose).
Nothing of what has happened surely shows.
But your ego excelled and then your attitude.
And you went on laughing and shouting,
It's all too shrewd.

'Cause you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all.
No, and there's nothing at all,
There's nothing at all, there's nothing at all.

La na na na, la la...

Still can't recognize the way I feel (I feel, I feel).
Nothing of what you said to me was real.
And you still can't find the strength,
To apologize, (-ogize, -ogize).
You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies.

'Cause you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all.
No, and there's nothing at all,
There's nothing at all, there's nothing at all.

La na na na, la la...
Wanted it all, wanted it all, you wanted it all. [X 2]

Disposable Teens

and I'm a black rainbow
and I'm an ape of god
I got a face that's made for doing violence upon
I'm a teen distortion
survived abortion
a rebel from the waist down

I wanna thank you mom
I wanna thank you dad
for bringing this *beep* world
to a bitter end
I never really hated a one true god
but the god of the people I hated

you said you wanted evolution
the ape was a great big hit
you say you want a revolution, man
and I say that you're full of *beep*

we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable

we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable

you said you wanted evolution
the ape was a great big hit
you say you want a revolution, man
and I say that you're full of *beep*

The more that you fear us
the bigger we get
the more that you fear us
the bigger we get
and don't be surprised, don't be surprised
don't be surprised when we destroy all of it

For the Greater Good of God

Iron Maiden

Are you a man of peace
Or a man of holy war
Too many sides to you
Don’t know which anymore
So many full of life
But also filled with pain
Don’t know just how many
Will live to breathe again

A life that’s made to breathe
Destruction or defense
A mind that’s vain corruption
Bad or good intent
A wolf in sheep’s clothing
Or saintly or sinner
Or some that would believe
A holy war winner

They fire off many shots
And many parting blows
Their actions beyond a reasoning
Only God would know
And as he lies in heaven
Or it could be in hell
I feel he’s somewhere here
Or looking from below
But I don’t know, I don’t know

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

More pain and misery in the history of mankind
Sometimes it seems more like
The blind leading the blind
It brings upon us more famine, death and war
You know religion has a lot to answer for

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

And as they search to find the bodies in the sand
They find its ashes that are
Scattered across the land
And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins

And all because of it you’d think
That we would learn
But still the body count the city fires burn
Somewhere there's someone dying
In a foreign land
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man
Tell me why, tell me why

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

For the greater good of God (x8 )

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

For the greater good of God (x8 )

He gave his life for us
He fell upon the cross
To die for all of those
who never mourn his loss
It wasn’t meant for us
to feel the pain again
Tell me why, tell me why

[Thomas]

Innit though!

There by the Grace of God by the Manic Street Preachers

And all the drugs in the world
Can't save us from ourselves
Victims with the saddest hearts
Passing by the grace of God
There by the grace of God

With grace we will suffer
With grace we shall recover
There by the grace of God
There by the grace of God

Lay down all your guns
Give them up and then move on
It doesn't mean that you are dead
Passing by the grace of God
There by the grace of God

With grace we will suffer
With grace we shall recover
There by the grace of God
There by the grace of God

With grace we will suffer
With grace we shall recover
There by the grace of God
There by the grace of God

There by the grace of God

And all the drugs in the world...

With grace we will suffer
With grace we shall recover
There by the grace of God
There by the grace of God

With grace we will suffer
With grace we shall recover
There by the grace of God
There by the grace of God

And all the drugs in the world
Can't save us from ourselves
Victims with the saddest hearts
Passing by the grace of God
There by the grace of God



Well, the music makes the song,

Yellow Brick Road

Raine Maida

I remember the days when we talked for hours
And we were young; we thought we had superpowers
We kissed the sky, expanded our minds, thought we could fly
We were dreamers, and we'd never die
We were young punks but we showed potential
Us against the world, we weren't sentimental
We weren't our problems, our age or our paychecks
And we weren't taking anybody's *beep*

If I knew now what I knew then, I'd
Back up do it all again, I'd
Take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Knew now what I knew then, I'd
Back up do it all again, I'd
Take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Come on, come on wise up
Come on, come on wise up
Come on, come on wise

The winters were cold but we had your parents basement
This underground was for sinners and we embraced it
Magic pills, fairy tales, Syd Barrett's ghost
Oh, we'd all get on that spaceship
We measured our lives in coffee spoons
And those Friday nights quickly turned into Sunday afternoons
We weren't our money, our muscles or our regrets
We were having a mere life experience

If I knew now what I knew then, I'd
Back up do it all again, I'd
Take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Knew now what I knew then, I'd
Back up do it all again, I'd
Take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

I remember the days when we talked for hours
And we were young; we thought we had superpowers
We want our problems, our age or our paychecks
And we weren't taking anybody's *beep*

If I knew now what I knew then, I'd
Back up do it all again, I'd
Take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Knew now what I knew then, I'd
Back up do it all again, I'd
Take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road
Take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Come on, come on wise up
Come on, come on wise up
Come on, come on wise

"In Your Eyes"
Peter Gabriel

love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

[Lord Borg]

Evanescence Forgive Me
Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you

I heard the words come out
I thought that I would die
It hurts so much to hurt you

Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken

I'd give anything now
to kill those words for you

Each time I say something I regret, I cry "I don't wanna lose you!"
But some how I know that you will never leave me, yeah.

'Cause you were made for me
Some how I'll make you see
How happy you make me

I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive

So stay with me
You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry..

And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you

Kamelot has 2 CDs, Epica and The Black Halo which are considered to be Acts I and II for their interpretation of the Goethe's play "Faust". The lyrics to all the songs on those 2 CDs tell the band's interpretation of the story and go chronologically. This song is:

"In Ariel's moment of weakness, Mephisto's hold on the alchemist's will is at its highest point. He finds Marguerite, a beautiful girl in the Town. She looks and sounds like Helena. In an attempt to console Ariel, Mephisto delivers her to him, paving the way for her seduction. His control and power over Ariel are represented musically by harsh bass lines and death grunts. He convinces Ariel to follow through with this course of action. Thus, as Ariel seduces Marguerite's body, Mephisto seduces Ariel's mind."

Followed by "The Haunting" which is the 3rd song on the CD, missing one in between with some realization leading to this one

"Ariel explains himself to Marguerite as best he can. He explains that he saw her as a mere shadow of his dead lover, that any feelings he has for her are a mere facade of his love for Helena, and that he can never love her the way she loves him. In a tragic and moving duet, he urges her to leave and forget about him. But he says that, perhaps, they may one day reunite. With that, he leaves, never to see her again."


March of Mephisto

Aspirat primo Fortuna labori
Me duce tutus eris
Vox populi vox Dei
Ad majorem Dei gloriam...
Ad infinitum

Kahn:
You know just who I am
Don't be so distant
'cause When you're lost
I am solely there to share your grief

Khan:
Wailing your sorrow
is only my way to comfort you

Shagrath:
Reminders of innocent youth

Khan:
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude

Khan and Shagrath:
I speaketh the truth

Khan:
Now tell me all about your pain
Down to the detail
Don't say it's love
Your fragile heart feeds my contempt

Khan:
Wailing your sorrow
is only my way to comfort you

Shagrath:
Reminders of innocent youth

Khan:
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude

Khan and Shagrath:
I speaketh the truth


Khan:
Chase the heathen call
We belong...you and I
Unison in all you deny

Khan:
Wailing your sorrow
is only my way to comfort you

Shagrath:
Reminders of innocent youth

Khan:
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude

Khan and Shagrath:
I speaketh the truth


Khan:
I am the thorn in your side
That seeks accomplishment

Shagrath:
Reminding the mortal of death

Khan:
I am the spore of your pride
An angel heavensent

Khan and Shagrath:
The master of all
I am the urge of the flesh

The Haunting

Merely the sound of your voice
Made me believe that that you were her
Just like the river disturbs
My inner peace

Once I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my beliefs

One cold winter's night
I may follow her voice to the river
Leave me for now and forever
Leave what you can

Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep

I was a liar in every debate
I drew the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves, it comes to an end
Quietly now go to sleep

How could that first time recur
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her
Helena is dead to all
dead to all

Nothing can bring her to life
Don't pretend that I'll be loving you
Once I believed she was gone
I corrupted from within

Leave leave me for now and forever
Leave what you can

Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep

I was a liar in every debate
I drew the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves, it comes to an end
Quietly now go to sleep

(roy:)
Follow me into the light
(simone:)
Like ice on a lake of tears
I'll take you through
(roy:)
Or leave me tonight
(roy:)
I've gone too far to begin all anew
(simone:)
Life fades in anew (???)
(both:)
With someone like you

Somewhere in time I will find you and love you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep

I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves, it comes to an end
Quietly I'll go to sleep
