Lyrics Game

[Ziggy Stardust]

Well, I read through the archives(Four whole pages of them? Seriously?) and I found no thread such as this. Basically you post lyrics from any song whatsoever that you have stuck in your head, you like a lot, or they gave you a mindfuck the first time you heard them. So I have these stuck in my head:

Raspberry beret, the kind you find in a second-hand store;
Raspberry beret- and if it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more

as well as:

We were just another band out of Boston, on the road to tryin' to make it big;
Playing all the bars, sleeping in our cars, and we'd practice right on out in the street
No, we didn't have much money; we barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage, and got ready to play, people came alive...

Like so. You can also find out songs you may have heard on the radio but don't know the names or artists to. I'm a huge music freak, so this should be fun for me.

[Mystery Fish]

The whole of Grey Matter by Finch is currently stuck in my head.

[Silfedac]

One Hit Wonderful by Reel Big Fish and Where Have You Been, also by Reel Big Fish, for me.

[Pieman]

The 'Willow farm' bit of 'supper's ready' by Genesis.

[Axe Shredder]

The start and end of this song always duck with me.

Brothers fall, day by day.
DEAD was first "and all others followed".
But now, another warrior has gone
into the reaven realm of darkness.

I have never seen the lonely stars shine so bright,
since you has died.
And if you hear my cry run spheres,
you know you will be in my heart.
Remember Grimm

That's only the start and end but they're a total mindfuck, the start because it's true and the end because it's the opposite of what everyone who's only heard the bad about Black Metal think of when they hear black metal... and most other people actually.

[Ziggy Stardust]

I think of pounding bass and screams that hurt my ears, but most of it is quite good actually. I try to work around the screaming.
Is Nargaroth the name of the song or the name of the band? 'Cause I want to look this song up and see if I can decipher the lyrics.
One song that's always messed with me:

It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side and said 'I'm angry'
Five days since you laughed at me, saying
'Get that together, come back and see me'
Three days since the living room,
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday, you'd forgiven me
But it'll still be two days 'till I say I'm sorry

The rest of it is so damn confusing, it's almost indecipherable. However, once you look up the lyrics, you realize it makes no sense at all; if you try to sing it- or recite it, because it's not really sung- you get hopelessly confused.

[Mystery Fish]

I love singing that song.

Also, Cyanide by Metallica.

[Axe Shredder]

No you won't be able to.

and Nargaroth is the band.

I can't actually remember the song, I can only remember one sng from black Metal Ist Krieg.

It's dedicated to Erik Brødreskift that's all I can remember.

[Silfedac]

I love singing that song.

Me too. I've actually listened to it so much that I deciphered most of the lyrics without looking them up. First time I heard it, I was eight years old and watching the Digimon movie.

[Pieman]

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind

I like the music of this song.

[Ziggy Stardust]

Me too. I've actually listened to it so much that I deciphered most of the lyrics without looking them up. First time I heard it, I was eight years old and watching the Digimon movie.

Ha! My brother was a Digimon kid. I never liked the show, myself.

[Mystery Fish]

I had one or two of the transforming figures.
I always forgot how to transform them though, so they ended up in a state of limbo.
But I fish on a unicycle.

Everlong by the Foo Fighters is constantly stuck in my head.

[the Scarf]

I watched digimon! I liked the one where they WERE the digimon rather then the other ones....
I also really liked the one that goes back to the original people but they're all older. I didn't see too many episodes, but I liked the idea of it a lot.

Umm....lyrics.

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

I met your children
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Pictures came and broke your heart.

In my mind and in my car,
we can't rewind we've gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart,
so put all the blame on VTR...

[Axe Shredder]

I'm gonna have that in my head now Scarf....

Hopefully after this song is out, the two don't mix.

Anyhow, got this in my head since I just finished learning the drums for it.

(Doing everything on my own. Just to see if I can, I have a new loathing of drums.)

This is War? Wow!

I Lie Wounded on Wintery Ground
With Hundred of Corpses around
Many Wounded Crawl Helplessly around
On the Blood Red Snowy Ground

War
War
War
War

Cries of the (ha, ha) Suffering Sound
Cries for Help to All Their Dead Moms

War
War
War
War

Many Hours of Music
Many Drops of Blood
Many Shiverings and Now I Am Dead
And Still We Must Never Give up

War
War
War
War

[Ziggy Stardust]

Listening to a real old Tom Petty CD on the radio on the way to school, and when I arrive my new English teach is Ms. Petty! No relation, though. I once had a Mrs. Carlin, too.

Eddie waited 'til he finished high school, he went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too, the future was wide open.
They moved into a place they both could afford, he found a nightclub he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords- the sky was the limit.

I don't know what I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwing up, I'm tired of going down
I'm tired of myself, I'm tired of this town

[Axe Shredder]

Don't trust her, she's stealing your thoughts.

[Ziggy Stardust]

Mary Jane, Ms. Petty or Mrs. Carlin?

[Axe Shredder]

All of them.

They're all the same person.

[Ziggy Stardust]

NOOOO!

And for your horrific screaming, I present: The Jonas Brothers.

Well, I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great granddaughter
Is doing fine

Oh yes. Got that stuck in my head.
It's not the Jonas Brother's music I mind so much(I haven't been listening to their recent albums) but more the gobs of money Disney is snapping up off the merchandise and Camp Rock.

[Axe Shredder]

That was just mean 

Scornful, relentless memory
Ripped of all but drive
Undressed by betrayal
Zero tolerance for the souldead
Wish I was the violence,
inflicted upon you

Fuel for Hatred, air raid siren. Fuel for Hatred, to mankind

Little you,
still like a claw in my eye
Pulsating organic rage
I should have let you off of the hook
Mind drifts
into dynamic pain
Universal onslaught
I'm on my own (One soul, one hate)

Fuel for Hatred, air raid siren. Fuel for Hatred, to mankind

Damnation, holocaust
Devil horns for you to ride
Time for the angel
to spread his wings and fly
World opponent,
wishmaster of gruesome pain
Stormtroops' frantic fury,
demoniac spitfire!

Abortion of religious life, distinguish the rot
I hate you
to a level of intoxication
Don't feel alone,
I've got enough
I wish you slow death,
slow death by grinding

Fuel for Hatred, air raid siren. Fuel for Hatred, to mankind

The song I just accidentally insulted someone with, I was on the phone and started singing along.

[the Scarf]

Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain
I hope that you've enjoyed your stay so far
I see you've met my assistant Scarface
His appearance is quite disturbing
But I assure you he's harmless enough
He's a sweetheart, calls me master
And he has a way of finding pretty things and bringing them to me

I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet

I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don't like it
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don't like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet

Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine
While up above the waves my doomsday squad ignites the atmosphere
And all the fools who live their foolish lives may find it quite explosive
But it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here

You know it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain
Maybe you could cut me just a little slack
Would it kill you to be civil?
I've been patient, I've been gracious
And this mountain is covered with wolves
Hear them howling, my hungry children
Maybe you should stay and have another drink and think about me and you

I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet

[Ziggy Stardust]

A long, long time ago, I can still remember how that music used to make me smile;
And I knew if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance, and maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver with every paper I'd deliver;
Bad news on the doorstep- I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside the day the music died.

So bye, bye Miss American Pie; drove the Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye, singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the Book of Love, and do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Well, do you believe in rock and roll, can music save your mortal soul and
Can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him, 'cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes, and I dig those rhythmic blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died

We starting singing bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove the Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye, singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Now, for ten years, we been on our own, and moss grows fat on a rolling stone, but
That's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice, that came from you and me
Oh, and while the king was looking down the jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book of Marx, the quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died

We were singing 'Bye, bye Miss American Pie', drove the Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye, singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Helter, skelter, in a summer swelter the birds flew off for the fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fa-a-ast
And landed fall on the grass, the players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
The halftime air was sweet perfume while the sargents played a marching tune
We all got up to dance, oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died?

They were singing bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove the Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye, singing
This'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die

And there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space, with no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'cause
Fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage my hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night, did you light the sacrificial right
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died

Singing bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove the Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye, singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
So I went down to the sacred store where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken-
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died

So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove the Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die!



Hell yes, that is a songpost. Hell yes, I memorized all of the lyrics to American Pie.

[Poltaap]

*reads ziggys lyrics and rise againstyfies it*
hmm, that is really nice
*gets to first chorus*
I feel so violated...

some of mine favorite lyrics part things

Torches-rise against

The angels dance like feathers float, they're here to see and to be seen,
the clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings,
once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave
but I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting

And if my hand could block the sun,
would we ever wake up?
And if I turned back all these clocks,
would that be time enough?
Will we ever wake up?

a epic ending for a epic song

rise against the good left undone

All because of you,
I haven’t slept in so long.
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
Inside these arms of yours.

All because of you,
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
No, not the kind with halos,
The kind that bring you home,
When home becomes a strange place.
I’ll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out.

another epic ending, the song is my favorite, but I like this part the most

[Mystery Fish]

Crazy Train!

[Pieman]

Doo dododoo dododoo dododoo dododoo dododoo doo doo doo doo
doooo d'doo dododoooo d'doo dododoooo d'do do do do do.
dooo dooo dooo dooo dooo dooo dooo dooo
dooo dooo dooo dooo doo doo doo doooooooooo.

Had that stuck in my head the past few days.

[Ziggy Stardust]

At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes,
'Til I'm screaming for more
In the basement
Lock the cellar door, and baby
Talk dirty to me

When this came on the radio, my dad observed that all of his children know the lyrics to this song.

[Pieman]

I only know that song from gwi-tar hero 3.

[Pixel Pincher]

I got one for you people.

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

(Chorus)
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill,
everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people


P.S. Sorry for being gone for so long with out telling anyone. My life got squeezed threw a hippos butt and is all crazy now.

[Pieman]

How does that differ from normal life?

[Pixel Pincher]

Hey I lisen to every thing but rap, so its not hard to get just about any song stuck in my head.
