Less Than Jake Have Some Great Lyrics In My Opinion, Heres A Bit From "Pete Jackson Is Getting Married".

My Favourite Bits Are Highlighted:

I can see it all right now
his mom and dad so proud of his son and his new found wife
and I wonder if after all these years
will his dad still give him a pep talk for his wedding night?
I can smell his cousin's polo mixing with his grandpa's old spice and the
Swedish meatballs look so tempting that his two fat aunts might even fight
and his uncles have all gone drinkin'
highballs and hamms light in the parking lot
while the rest of his relatives are busy just tearing up the Manville Elks Lodge
I can smell his cousin's polo mixing with his grandpa's old spice and the mashed
potatoes look so tasty that his two fat aunts might even fight
on that day what else could I say?
I'd say here's to you staying drunk
here's to all your good luck
you're gonna need it

Here Is A Bit From "Bigger Picture" (This Just Makes Me Laugh)

Breaking down from every insult that you've taken
from one sided conversations
Burning out from all the minor misconceptions
that just play on your frustrations
your self doubt has your head so turned around
there's not a catch phrase that can save you
and it's not that hard to figure out
disappointment doesn't have to cut to a commercial now
I'm breaking down I'm burning out
and it's not funny like on television
when your self doubt turns you inside out
it's still not funny like on television
I'm passing time since I've been right
and it's not funny like on television
those times I've cracked with no laugh track
and it wasn't funny like on television

I Love Their Lyrics

[Talthyr Malkaviel]

Tool- Parabola

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.

Alive

This holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion...
Of what it means to be alive

Swirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this
chance to be alive and breathing
chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.

Metallica- King Nothing

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?

Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name

Where's your crown King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Hot and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?

Wish I might
Wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name

Where's your crown King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Huh!

(Spoken)
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star
I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish
You may regret it
Careful what you wish
You just might get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name

Where's your crown King Nothing?
Nothing

No you're just nothing
Where's your crown King Nothing?
No you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing

Off to never never land

Metallica- Nothing else matters

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters

Black Sabbath- War Pigs
Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord, yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah.

Time will tell on their power minds,
making war just for fun.
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
wait till their judgement day comes, yeah.

Now in darkness world stops turning,
ashes where the bodies burning.
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, God is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercies for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.
Oh lord, yeah!

That's all I could be bothered to look for right now. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

One song for dark moods : Stranger Song, by Leonard Cohen :

It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
who said they were through with dealing
Every time you gave them shelter
I know that kind of man
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
who is reaching for the sky just to surrender,
who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
you find he did not leave you very much
not even laughter
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
that is so high and wild
he'll never need to deal another
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger

And then leaning on your window sill
he'll say one day you caused his will
to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
And then taking from his wallet
an old schedule of trains, he'll say
I told you when I came I was a stranger
I told you when I came I was a stranger.

But now another stranger seems
to want you to ignore his dreams
as though they were the burden of some other
O you've seen that man before
his golden arm dispatching cards
but now it's rusted from the elbows to the finger
And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.

Ah you hate to see another tired man
lay down his hand
like he was giving up the holy game of poker
And while he talks his dreams to sleep
you notice there's a highway
that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder.
It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder.

You tell him to come in sit down
but something makes you turn around
The door is open you can't close your shelter
You try the handle of the road
It opens do not be afraid
It's you my love, you who are the stranger
It's you my love, you who are the stranger.

Well, I've been waiting, I was sure
we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for
I think it's time to board another
Please understand, I never had a secret chart
to get me to the heart of this
or any other matter
When he talks like this
you don't know what he's after
When he speaks like this,
you don't know what he's after.

Let's meet tomorrow if you choose
upon the shore, beneath the bridge
that they are building on some endless river
Then he leaves the platform
for the sleeping car that's warm
You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter
And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.

And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind ...

And leaning on your window sill ...

I told you when I came I was a stranger.


One song for optimism : Why walk when you can fly, by Mary Chapin Carpenter :

In this world there’s a whole lot of trouble, baby
in this world there’s a whole lot of pain
In this world there’s a whole lot of trouble
and a whole lot of ground to gain

Why take when you could be givin’?
Why watch as the world goes by?
Its a hard enough life to be living
Why walk when you can fly?

In this world there’s a whole lot of sorrow
In this world there’s a whole lot of shame
In this world there’s a whole lot of sorrow
and a whole lot of ground to gain

When you spend your whole life wishin’
wanting and wondering why
its a hard enough life to be living
why walk when you can fly?

In this world there’s a whole lot of golden
In this world there’s a whole lot of plain
In this world you’ve a soul for a compass
and a heart for a pair of wings

There’s a star on the far horizon
rising bright in an azure sky
for the rest of the time that your given
why walk when you can fly?

[Debaser]

I've had it with this town
I never saw those shifting skies
I never saw the ground
Or the sunset rise
I want to live on an abstract plain

I'm building a frame
A place to put my ten-yard stare
Thinking of that paint
Painted in plain-air
I want to live on an abstract plain

I need a new address
I want some new terrain
Is it North or South?
I want to live on an abstract plain

I could sit on the roof
On top of that abstract house
See my abstract view
An abstract mouse
I want to live on an abstract plain

I need a new address
Tell me I'm not insane
Is it up or down?
I want to live on an abstract plain

-Frank Black, "Abstract Plain"

Purple Rain - Prince

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you underneath the purple rain

Honey I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
(and that means you too)

You say you want a leader
but you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain.
I only want to see you, only want to see you
Un the purple rain

Can't stop lovin' you.

Stephen Cummings - one of Australia's greatest singer/songwriters:

Where Are You Going
Stephen Cummings/Andrew Pendlebury


You cornered me at a party
I was so nervous
The flowers on the wallpaper
Matched the flowers on your dress
I had it now I've lost it
I'll see it gets back to you
You say you don't need me
And maybe that's true

Chorus:
Where are you going?
Can I come for the ride?
Wherever you're going
I want to be there at your side

When you think you've had enough
Of being such a wise guy
Well search for knowledge is a search
For love to modify
I had it now I lost it
I'll see it gets back to you
Well you alone remained constant
Everyone else just withdrew

Chorus

And I said don't cry baby
Crying won't do any good
You can blame this or that
Say you're misunderstood

You can say anything you like

I had it now I lost it
I'll see it gets back to you
Well you say you don't need me
Yeah maybe that is true

Chorus (x2)

[Jorath Calar]

A bit from George Carlin
Oh beutiful, all smoggy skies
Insecticided grain
For stripped mined mountain majesty
above the asphalt plane

America, america,
man sheds his waste on thy
And hides the pines
With billboard signs
from sea to oily sea

Stand inside your love - Smashing Pumpkins

you and me
meant to be
immutable
impossible
it's destiny
pure lunacy
incalculable
inseparable

and for the last time
you're everything that i want and asked for
you're all that i dream

who wouldn't be the one you love
who wouldn't stand inside your love
protected and the lover of

a pure soul
and beautiful
you
don't understand
don't feel me now
i will breath
for the both of us
travel the world
traverse the skies
your home is here
within my heart

and for the first time
i feel as though i am reborn in my mind
recast as child and mystic sage

who wouldn't be the one you love
who wouldn't stand inside your love

for the first time
i'm telling how much i need and bleed for
your every move and waking sound in my time
i'll wrap my wrap my wire around your heart
and your mind
you're mine forever now

who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
who wouldn't be the one you love

[John D Harris]

Pink Foyd's Free Four

The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime
You suffle in gloom in the sickroom
And talk to yourself 'till you die

Life is a short, warm moment
And death is a long cold rest
You get your chance to try
In the twinkling of an eye
Eighty years, with luck, or even less

So all aboard for the American tour
And maybe you'll make it to the top
And mind how you go
I can tell you, 'cause I know
You may find it hard to get off

You are the angel of death
And I am the dead man's son
And he died like a mole in a fox hole
And everyone is still in the run
And who is the master of fox hounds?
And who says the hunt has begun?
And who calls the tune in the courtroom?
And who beats the funeral drum?

The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime
You suffle in gloom in the sickroom
And talk to yourself 'till you die

[Jorath Calar]

Sorry just one more from Smashing Pumpkins

Beutyful
beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sun
wonderful, you're wonderful, as wonderful as they come
and i can't help but feel attached
to the feelings i can't even match
with my face pressed up to the glass, wanting you
beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sky
wonderful, it's wonderful, to know that you're just like I
and i'm sure you know me well, as i'm sure you don't
but you just can't tell
who you love and who you won't
and i love you, as you love me
so let the clouds roll by your face
we'll let the world spin on to another place
we'll climb the tallest tree above it all
to look down on you and me and them
and i'm sure you know me well, as i'm sure you don't
but you just can't tell, who you'll love and who you won't
don't let your life wrap up around you
don't forget to call, whenever
i'll be here just waiting for you
i'll be under your stars forever
neither here nor there just right beside you
i'll be under the stairs forever
neither here nor there just right beside you
