[I]Jerk Off[/I] [lyrics thread]

[Ultimate Weapon]

He swivels his head
Tears his eyes from the screen
As his past puts him back in Atlantic City

There's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell
Is it all just human disguise?
As I walk down the aisle

And I'm gone gone gone
[Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality]
Now I'm older than movies
[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]
Let me dance away
[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]
Now I'm wiser than dreams
[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]
Let me fly fly fly
[Spinning slack through reality]
While I'm touching tomorrow
[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]
And I know who's there
[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]
[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]
When silhouettes fall
[Spinning slack through reality]

And I'm gone
Like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone through a crack in the past

Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking

Three old men dancing under the lamplight
Shaking their sex and their bones
And the boys that we were
An alien nation in therapy
Sliding naked and new
Like a bad tempered child
On a rain slicked street

And I'm gone gone gone
[Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality]
Now I'm older than movies
[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]
Let me dance away
[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]
Now I'm wiser than dreams
[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]
Let me fly fly fly
[Spinning slack through reality]
While I'm touching tomorrow
[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]
And I know who's there
[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]
[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]
When silhouettes fall
[Spinning slack through reality]

And I'm gone
[Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality]
[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]
[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]
[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]
[Spinning slack through reality]
[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]
[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]
[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]
[Spinning slack through reality]

And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through the crack in the past

Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man
Like a dead man walking

And I'm gone gone gone
[Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality]
[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]
Let me dance, dance, dance
[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]
[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]
And I'm gone, gone, gone
[Spinning slack through reality]
[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]
[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]
Let me dance, dance, dance
[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]
[Spinning slack through reality]

And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through a crack in the past
And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through the crack in the past

Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man

Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, fight dark forces
In the clear moon light
Without fear... insomnia
I can't get no sleep

I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it's black this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep

[Sades]

"I see that
You mean it...
I see that you are serious
Have some faith in me,
Like there used to be
Come Sunday I'll be leaving, yeah
What do you want me to say...
What do you want me to say

Absolutely anytime
[What do you want me to say?]
Absolutely anytime
[What do you want me to say?]
Time

Time was that you would understand
No matter what you would believe in
That was years ago,
Time's a thief you know
I never meant to be deceiving you
What do you want me to say...
What do you want me to say

Absolutely anytime
[What do you want me to say?]
Absolutely anytime
[What do you want me to say?]
Absolutely anytime
[What do you want me to say?]
Absolutely anytime
[What do you want me to say?]
Time... (x4)

Where's the tenderness,
Where's that girl I miss
Where's the sweetness that would send me flying?
Bring her back to me
A grain of apathy
This life is yours,
There's no denying, yeah...
What do you want me to say...
What do you want me to say

Absolutely anytime
[What do you want me to say?]
Absolutely anytime
[What do you want me to say?]
Absolutely anytime
[What do you want me to say?]
Absolutely anytime
[What do you want me to say?]
Time..." (x12)

The Watchmen, "Absolutely Anytime"

[Astrotrain255]

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.


Even though it is originally a Langston Hughes poem,since it became a song afterwards it might be included there...

[Rookwise]

He cant avoid conflict-hes lost cos hes incomplete
Hes in between, somewhere in between,
in between the sleepless shadows battling to break the love thats
'guaranteed to make you bleed thicker than blood'
He dont want it, but craves what he cant escape
Hes staring straight through his fate and now hes face to face
You wana fall down, well this could make your dreams come true because the devil was an angel too.

Look at me now, making the same mistakes I said I'd never make again-but now I'm back in the same place,
Look at me now, somebody stole my soul.

I feel the breaks go and I'm spinning out of control
Come step into a brave new world-not even worth it
Decent comes quick and now he's anything but perfect, and still he worships that fundamental bull**** talk 'the path you carve yourself is the path to walk'.
Now walk alone-play it to the bone dont make it right just because he got the sickness from the venomous bite.
We wanna fall down, well this could make your dreams come true because the devil was an angel too.

Look at me now, making the same mistakes I said I'd never make again-but now I'm back in the same place,
Look at me now, somebody stole my soul.

Its gonna be alright, everythings ok, mothers tears will fall and wash it all away
Its gonna be alright, everythings ok, mothers tears will fall and wash it all away
Suck, suck it-suck it up
Suck, suck it-suck it up
Somebody stole my soul.

Reveille - look at me now

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Havent slept in a week
My bed has become my coffin
Cannot breathe, cannot speak
My heads like a bomb, still waiting
Take my heart and take my soul
I dont need them anymore

The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
Drowning me in my dreams
over and over again
Dragging me under

Hypnotised by the night
Silently rising beside me
Emptiness, nothingness
Is burning a hole inside me
Take my faith and take my pride
I dont need them anymore

This bed has become my chapel of stone
A garden of darkness to where I'm thrown
So take my life, I dont need it anymore

The Rasmus-The One i love

[Astrotrain255]

Last one,I promise...

He:

Poets have said
Love is undying, my love;
Don't be misled;
They were all lying, my love.
Love's on the wing,
But now while he hovers,
Let us be lovers.
One soon recovers, my love.
Soon the fever's fled,
For love's a transient blessing.
Lust a week in bed,
And we'll be convalescing.
Why talk of morals
When springtime is flying?
Why end in quarrels,
Reproaches and sighing,
Crying for love, my love?

She:

I cannot entertain
Your shocking proposition.
How could I regain
My virginal condition?
I am so pure that
Before you may bed me,
You must assure me
That first you will wed me.

He:

Well then,
Since you're so pure,
I shall betroth you, my love,
Though I feel sure
I'll come to loathe you, my love.
Still for the thrill
I'm perfectly willing.
For if we must wed
Before we may bed,
Then come let us wed,
My love!

(Bernstein/Wilbur)

[Shield Strike]

Its been a long way but ow we are near
the midst of the fiery rain
we know the thunder have summoned us all
to the place where innocence got slain

behold the omens, the rivers run red
the autumn winds carry the dead
the final warning the very last command
shattered remains for the damned

we wont surrender
no never, we will carry on

from the lake of fire they have come
fierce almighty legions, one by one
when the flames of glory touch th esky
trailblazers do or die

we are the mighty
who soar through the air
creating our own destiny
warriors once, and warriors to be
forever our spirits fly free

we rode the lighning we shone like the sun
in a thunderous symphony
we fought them hard
we fought them so brave
sending them back to their grave

the hammer has fallen
the fire still burns in our hearts

from the lake of fire they have come
fierce almighty legions, one by one
when the flames of glory touch th esky
trailblazers do or die

the visions we gazed upon
as the nightmare returned
on the uncaring slpes
the mark of the shadows still burned

Hammerall, Trailblazers

Hello Dr. Greenthumb, paging Dr. Greenthumb!"

[B-Real]
Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb
I'd like to tell you just where I'm from
In the hills where the trees grow wild with weed fields
The ****ing pigs with shields holding the blue steels
Greenhouse effect with the weed connect
(Doctor) DEA can't keep Greenthumb in check (Doctor!)
HPS, God Bless the whole crop
Please God, don't let me see no cops
Trunkload, ready to hit the highway
Don't let the eye in the sky fly my way
or we gonna have big trouble, that's no ****
Can't be growin without no permit
but **** that, I study the 215 trip
That way when they come they can suck my dick
Weed can't grow without attention
Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb

[Chorus:]

[B-Real] Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb
[SenDog] Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb!
[B-Real] I'd like to tell you just where I'm from
[SenDog] Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb
[B-Real] Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb
[SenDog] Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb!
[B-Real] I'd like to tell you just where I'm from
[SenDog] Aiyyo Dr. Greenthumb, come on back one time!

[B-Real]
People can't live without the herb man
If not they'd be drinkin and drivin and swervin
but thanks to Dr. Greenthumb weed grow
in the backyard or inside with hydro
To the cush plant brushin a tangerine dream
Tasty, blowin a ****in smokescreen
Cycles of weed are constantly grown
Somebody give me the razor to cut groves
I'd like to stop, but it feels so good
Horny plants stinkin up my whole neighborhood
Sticky angel, I wanna leave it alone
but never ever ever gotta worry from my home
What that funny sound knockin at the door (Open up it's the DEA!)
Sorry Greenthumb can't talk no more
Please don't follow me into the sun
Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb

[Chorus 1/2]

[B-Real]
Out from the lab, no need for rehab
If I can't drive then call me a cab (ese!)
In my closet the weed is dried out
Like Eiht said, ain't no place to hide out
I don't wanna buy no weed from no cop
Get knocked up and they close up my shop
That's why I buy no weed from no one
That's why they call me Dr. Greenthumb
The scientifical, mystical one
Growin my crops with the rays of the sun
Come one come all and see how it's done
If you see the pigs there's no need to run
Cause some of these pigs are down with Greenthumb
But you never know what be the outcome
You see the photo in the album
The weed is growin like my erection
Look I never told you where I was from
Some call me Real, but I'm Dr. Greenthumb

[Denyer]

Plagiarized existence exist,
Among the writers of the word,
Shake your spear at Shakespeare,
Shake your spear at Shakespeare,
Loud and noisy,
Strong refrigerators,
Gaining independence,
Gaining independence,
Stupid people do stupid things,
Smart people outsmart each other,
Then themselves, then themselves,
Then themselves, then themselves,
Take me down there,
Photographic relapse,
People feeding frenzy,
The devil is so lovely
My blue moon rivets in exits,
Forewarned customary spirits,
By myself, by myself,
By myself, by myself,
Take me down there,
Photographic relapse,
People feeding frenzy,
The devil is so lovely,
Take me down there,
Photographic relapse,
People feeding frenzy,
The devil is so lovely.

Preflight delight,
Defaced street lights,
A pyramid mind f*ck,
Don't leave your seats now,

Popcorn everywhere, canned,
Cliche people organs rare,
Corn everywhere canned,
Cliche people organs rare,

Rare [repeat]

I want to be,
A fallen ruby,
Guest vibrations,
Don't leave your seats now,

Humans everywhere, canned,
Cliche people organs rare,
Humans everywhere, canned,
Cliche people cannot dare,

Dare [repeat]

Humans everywhere, canned,
Cliche people organs rare,
Humans everywhere, canned,
Cliche people cannot dare,
Humans everywhere, canned,
Cliche people organs rare,
Humans everywhere, canned,
Cliche people cannot dare, dare, dare, dare.

Trews=Canadian band. This'd be one of their standout tracks on their newest...

"Celebratin' childhood dreaming,
Taking in these waterfalls
Before the world got so deceiving,
before you thought you knew it all
The beauty of this scene was hidden
by every year gone by
And now you're thinking the forbidden
When you can't even cry
"At least there's hope"

Hope
Until theres nowhere left to go
Until theres nowhere left to go, no

Here you are on a brick walk shrinking,
Drowning mist as the world walks by
A full moon over red lights sinking
To the clouds of a rusted sky
No more neurotic vision,
It makes no sense at all
All you are is another victim
Jumping in these waterfalls
And there's no hope

Hope
Until there's nowhere left to go
Hope
And now there's no time left to
Even let go,
Can't even let go,
Can't even let go,
Can't even let go

Hope
Until there's nowhere left to go
One day everything let's you know
It leaves you naked and exposed...

And the fact that the sun's gonna rise and the world's gonna spin only makes it worse

Hope
Until there's nowhere left to go
Hope
Until there's no time left to
Even let go,
Can't even let go,
Can't even let go,
Can't even let go

Hope
Until there's nowhere left ot go
Hope
Until there's nowhere left to go
Hope
Now there's nowhere left to go"

"When the winter was over,
She returned there to find him
And her memories filled her with light
She remembered the beauty,
She remembered desire
And her memories filled her with light

I am the sun in the flame,
Cold from the flame turns away
And in these winds came a change
She awakes...

Sister, walk though these fields of delight, I want you to know
Desperation's the tenderest trap, so gently you go
What will it take, sister awake
Sister awake
Sister
Sister...

When this beautiful cult of desire has left you for dead,
Isolation will cradle the lies of things left unsaid
What will it take, sister awake
Sister awake
Sister...

And you'll look to the heavens above and taste it's deceit,
These temptations have blinded desires to sleep at their feet
What will it take, sister awake
Sister awake
Sister...[x4]

And you'll hear them call out your name,
Invoking the fates
Chances are you've travelled too far
In stirring their hate
So what will it take, my sister awake?
Sister awake,
Sister awake
Awake, awake..."

[Thundercracker]

I am sheltered by this apathy
Nothing left to do but torch the day
Retreating deeper into my mind
What is it that i hope to find?

This is the aftermath in me
Tendency to keep it all inside
A fool's disguise

I am strangled by this sympathy
Empty words with no meaning
Must release myself into the void
All illusions must be destroyed

This is the aftermath in me
Tendency to keep it all

How dare you compromise
The balance of our lives
Excuses you devise
An internal suicide
I struggle to survive
A perfect goal for which to strive
Ignorance cannot disguise
The balance of our lives

Hiding the meaning of
Hiding the meaning of

Shadows Fall - The Art of Balance

[King Fargo]

First, the song that got me into ska, and has shaped my musical tastes thusfar in life. And it's not called the "Knock on wood song". Damn rhythm peasants.

Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to those who have?
Oh, have you ever felt the pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse?

Know.
Well.

I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I
Never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get.

Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most don't possess?
Oh, has it ever come down to do or die?
You gotta rise above the rest

Know.
Well.

I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I
Never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get.

I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass
Look at the tested and think never for the grace go I
Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out

Never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I
Never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get.

[Sax solo]

I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I
Never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get.

And, just because someone in my Uni course got it stuck in my head.

Everyone loves Magical Trevor
'Cos the tricks that he does are ever so clever.
Look at him now, disappearing the cow.
Where is the cow? Hidden right now

Taking a bow, it's Magical Trevor
Everybody's seen that the trick is clever
Look at him there with his leathery, leathery whip
It's made of magic, and with a little flick

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the cow is back.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the cow is back.
Back, back. Back from its magical journey.
Yeah.

What did you see in the parallel dimension?
It saw beans, lots of beans, lots of beans, lots of beans.
Yeah, beans, lots of beans, lots of beans lots of beans.
Yeah, yeah.

It isn't?

Somethin' needs to take your mind off this,
something's gotta shine a light,
Is it everything that you've ever wanted,
Is it still not quite
A giant shadow's been cast on your outlook,
something needs to help you shake
Is it everything that you've ever dreamed of
Is it or is it fake?
Is it I'm only asking.
Is it?
No need to reply.
Is it coming at you now,
or is it going by?
Something needs to snap you out of this.
Something needs to set you free.
Is it what you hoped for?
I hope it is and hope it never happens to me.
A giant shackle's been locked,
making matters much worse than you'd rather they would be.
Is it all you've ever asked for?
Is it or isn't maybe?
Is it I'm only asking.
Is it?
No need to respond.
Is it right in front of you?
Or is it way beyond?
Is it time for the ever after?
I believe it's tough to find.
Is it ending in disaster?
Are you ahead?
Are you way behind?
Is it?
I'm only asking?
Is it?
If you don't mind.
Is it right in front of you?
Are you ahead or are you way behind?
Is it!

Smack dab in the eye of the storm Quite a ride just with the strength and size of it and I'm not sure what created this storm I feel safe in the eye of it now The commotion around me astounds me Tomorrow there's a solace which grounds me I've got both of my feet on the ground I'm not sure where to look for my head A tranquil madness I've found Or maybe it's found me instead Too late, ride it out Am I safe being on the inside? Just when I come down I'll relax and just wait out the ride I don't wanna run to my future But I sure want to run from my past Today I'm just gonna stay here and pray that the way that I feel will last If it lasted forever I know the last thing I'd do would be run Today I'm just gonna stay here And pray that the day's never done Too late, ride it out Am I safe being on the inside? Just when I get down I'll relax and just wait out the ride Am I here on my own? You might think that you are but you're not Am I here all alone? What you've asked for is just what you got Well I know the day has to end And I'm sure that the storm will go past While I'm here in the eye and the day's going by I'll enjoy the feeling I feel while it lasts If it lasted forever I know, the last thing I'd do would be run Today I'm just gonna stay here And pray that the day's never done Too late, ride it out Am I safe being on the inside? Just when I come down I'll relax and just wait out the ride Am I here all alone? You might think that you are but you're not Am I here on my own? What you've asked for is just what you've got.

I only got my hands on those because one of my friends found The Impression That I Get single 2nd hand. Now, just to get The Rascal King single from another friend and listen to the Aussie exclusive Triple J live recordings on them.

"Divorce Song" - Liz Phair

And when I asked for a separate room
It was late at night
And we'd been driving since noon
But if I'd known
How that would sound to you
I would have stayed in your bed
For the rest of my life
Just to prove I was right
That it's harder to be friends than lovers
And you shouldn't try to mix the two
Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy
Then you know that the problem is you

And it's true that I stole your lighter
And it's also true that I lost the map
But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to
I had to take your word on that
But if you'd known
How that would sound to me
You would have taken it back
And boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Burned it up and thrown it away

You put in my hands a loaded gun
And then told me not to fire it
When you did the things you said were up to me
And then accused me of trying to **** it up
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright

And the license said
You had to stick around until I was dead
But if you're tired of looking at my face I guess I already am

But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright

"I Know" - Fiona Apple

So be it, I'm your crowbar
If that's what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I don't know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know
And you can use my skin
To bury secrets in
And I will settle you down
And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know
Baby-I can't help you out, while she's still around
So for the time being, I'm being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you'll just consider this-even if it don't make sense
All the time-give it time
And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you've early closed your curtains,
I'll wait by the backstage door
While you try to find the lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me so
It's ok, don't need to say it.

[Sades]

This has gotta be one of the coolest songs ever. I love radio!


It's the time of the season
When the love runs high
In this time give it to me easy
And let me try with pleasured hands

To take you in the sun to promised lands
To show you everyone
It's the time of the season for loving

What's your name?
Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken
Any time
To show you what you need to live?

Tell it to me slowly
Tell you why
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving

What's your name?
Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken
Any time
To show you what you need to live?

Tell it to me slowly
Tell you why
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving"

Hey I'm a cow, I'm curious
Hey watch me now, I'm furious
Hey I'm a cow, I'm full of hate
Hey watch me now, I'm on your plate




"The Old Apartment"

Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live

Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live

Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
these things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back

Broke into the old apartment
Forty-two stairs from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
This is where we used to live

Why did they pave the lawn?
why did they change the locks?
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live

How is the neighbour downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I'm happy here
But this is where we used to live

Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux

I want them back

Ruby Soho"

Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall
havin' a party up next door but i'm sittin here all alone
two lovers in the bedroom and the other starts to shout
all i got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at all

[Chorus]
Destination unknown
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
[x2]

He's singin and she's there to lend a hand
he's seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand
once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye
embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye

[Chorus]

Ruby's heart ain't beatin cause she knows the feelin' is gone
she's not the only one who knew there's somethin' wrong
her lover's in the distance as she wipes a tear from her eye
ruby's fading out, she disappears, it's time, time to say goodbye

[Chorus]

Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

Destination unknown (Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho)
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
