[pete]

i have a mansion, forget the price
aint never been there they tell me its nice
i live in hotels, tear out the walls
i have accountants, pay for it all

they say im crazy but i havnt the time
im just lookin for clues at the scene of the crime
lifes been good to me so far

my mazerati does 185
i lost my licence, now i dont drive
i have a limo, ride in the back
i lock the doors in case im attacked

[Tequila Sunrise]

One last thing beore I quit
I never wanted anymore than
I could fit into my head
I still remember all the things you said
And all the shame that some
How came along with it
Yet theres one thing that comfgorts me
Sinse I was always caged
An now I'm free...............

Foo Fighters: "Monkey Wrench"
(gona see em in a few weeks )

[Polynomial]

I'll never be the same without you,
I love you more than you would ever know,
So maybe now you'll finally know,
Sometimes we're helpless and alone,
But you can't let it keep you weighted down,
You must Go on.

- The Ataris, The Hero Dies in this One

OR

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry,
I said I love like the stars above,
I love you till I die,
And there's a place for us,
You know the movie song,
When you gonna realise,
It was just that the time was wrong, Juliet!

- Dire Straits, Romeo and Juliet.

[Mr. Bones]

i like 'Hot Dog' from Limp Bizkit...but i'm not going to typ that here  ;)

[Sock]

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It's the last time you will
Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goals fill his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
He hear's the silence so loud
Crack of dawn all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see

Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls."  Or:

An Iron fist quietly sits inside the Velvet Glove
Take control, untouchable just like God above
I can't escape, wrapped in red tape, what will become of me?
If I object, then I defect my country 'tis of thee

Megadeth's "The World Needs a Hero."

[Mr. Bones]

i really like for whom the bell tolls, great song, especially live!

i also like the following lyrics...(not from Metallica!)

"This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of the road.
And he said:

"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul."

Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
and we each said... "Okay."

And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.

Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow...

Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best muthafuckin' song the greatest song in the world.

And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
anything like this song.
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovin',
So surprised to find you can't stop it.
All right! All right!"

[Wing Nut]

Pay special attention to the last four verses...

EAGLES LYRICS
"The Last Resort" (Hotel California)


She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea

She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars,
out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all,
what it's like up there
And they called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
while the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny
and the in name of God

And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye

High Hopes- Pink Floyd

beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begin

Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

enumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many time

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
What do you want from me

As you look around this room tonight
Settle in your seats and dim the lights
Do you want my blood, do you want my tears
What do you want
What do you want from me
Should I sing until I can't sing any more
Play these strings until my fingers are raw
You're so hard to please
What do you want from me

Do you think that I know something you don't know
What do you want from me
If I don't promise you the answers would you go
What do you want from me
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you want me to take a daisy chain for you
I'm not the one you need

What do you want from me
You can have anything you want
You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water
Anything you want

You can own everything you see
Sell your soul for complete control
Is that really what you need

You can lose yourself this night
See inside there is nothing to hide
Turn and face the light
What do you want from me

[Woodlouse2002]

alright a pink floyd fan!
my favorite pf song is wish you were here

I also like Wish you were here. But High Hopes has better lyrics.

[ATI_7500]

found my resolve
to stick to my ground
to stand up and shout
but i just can't make a sound

caught by the man
you tripped out of line
you spoke out of turn
but you could not find the words

like a rat in a trap
i'll be waiting for you
taking punches for kicks
i'll be bait for the kill
was it all in my head
did you know all along
that it's just you and me
we're against the world

dressed up to kill
been coated in arms
with fire in your eyes
melt me down and suck me in

like a dog to a bone
fitted collar and and chain
i will catch what you throw
in the chase i am sane
and it's all that i know
and it's all i can take
till it's time to give up
raise the candles and blow

we're up against the world
we're up against the world
we're up against the world

(hell is for heroes - few against many)

another good lyrics:

korn - thoughtless
korn - here to stay
