Here's one of mine.

In the
in the middle of a
I go walking in the ...
In the
in the middle of a
I go walking in the ...
In the
in the middle of a
I go walking in the ...
In the
in the middle of a
I go walking in the ...

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith

to the river so deep
I must be looking for something

something sacred I lost
But the river is wide

and it's too hard to cross.

Even so I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear

to a river so deep.
I've been searching for something

taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose

something somebody stole.

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't wanna walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt

to the river so deep.
I know I'm searching for something

something so undefined
That it can only be seen

by the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night.

I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire I wade
Into the river that is runnin' to the promised land

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth

to the river so deep
We all end in the ocean

we all start in the streams
We're all carried along

by the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

I go walking in the
in the middle of a ...

Pantera - Hollow

What's left inside him?
Don't he remember us?
Can't he believe me?
We seemed like bothers
Talked for hours last month
About what we wanna be
I sit now with his hand in mine
But I know he can't feel...

No one knows-
What's done is done:
It's as if he were dead

I'm close with his mother
And she cries endlessly
Lord how we miss him
At least what's remembered
It's so important to make best friends in life
But it's hard when my friend sits with blank expressions

No one knows-
What's done is done:
It's as if he were dead

He as hollow as I alone now
He as hollow as I alone
A shell of my friend
Just flesh and bone
There's no soul
He sees no love
I shake my fists at skies above

Mad... at God
Mad... at God

He as hollow as I converse
I wish he'd waken from this curse
Hear my words before it's through
I want to come in after you

My... best friend
My... best friend

He as hollow as I alone

[robbie]

Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here
What were you expecting
Not room for both
Just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say
You feel a right to remain
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say
Your father's spirit still lives in this place
I will silence you
Here's the hitch
Your horse is leaving
Don't miss your boat
It's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside for me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
'Cause you're all dead now
I live with my justice
I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
I live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
Don't drink the water

Sinistar song. I love it.
Dave Matthews Band

And MANY songs from Depeche Mode.

Doesn't have Carter USM, does have Dubstar. I'm not going to post any lyrics here, as they might just fall foul of forum rules. Besides, it's all too depressing for most

Theme from Mahogany

(m. masser/g. goffin)

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know...?

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds
You knew how i loved you
But my spirit was free
Laughin' at the questions
That you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?

Now looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams
Just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long
Before we'll see
How sad the answers
To those questions can be

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know...?

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Can I just have one a' more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait till the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And everytime I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide

Can I just have one a' more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

One more moondance with you in the moonlight
Can't I just have one more dance with you my love

[alexkerhead]

Well, since we are being honest..
Jerry Lee Lewis...Great Balls of fire.

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

Kiss me baby, aw feels good
Hold me baby, well I wanna love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I gotta tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I feel embarrassed but it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

[Razorfish]

hehe, well all got to be honest when i come to our favorate lyrics.

Saw Carter USM at the Reading Festival some years back

Yeah, they were pretty good in their day. I've not really followed where Fruity and Jim ended up going though.

[danrok]

LOL. I just remembered that one of Carter's BIG mates would come on stage, get his gut out and all 50,000+ people would chant "You fat b*******!" at him.

When Angels Cry
(Janis Ian)

Wait Your tired arms must rest
Let this moment pass
Wait until the morning
Close your eyes and you will see
who you used to be
left without a warning
Who knew one so big could grow so small
Lighter than the writing on the wall

When angels cry, can I stand by
When stones weep, can my heart sleep
Wish I'd never heard, wish I'd never heard
Wish I'd never heard
the power of a four letter word

'Cause only love will matter in the end
for a woman or a man
What's the difference now
Here we live with bottles
and needles and truth
Here is your living proof
that death cannot be proud
Some say it's a judgement on us all
I can't believe that God could be that small

When angels cry, can I stand by
When stones weep, can my heart sleep
Wish I'd never heard, wish I'd never heard
Wish I'd never heard
the power of a four letter word

If ever was a rose that longed to bloom
If ever was a heart that longed to fly
If ever was an angel, it was you
So close your eyes and say goodbye
Goodbye

When angels cry, I can't stand by
When stones weep, I can't sleep
Guess I've finally learned
Guess I've finally learned
Yes, I've finally learned
that love is just a four letter word
Hope is just a four letter word

[Staz]

My favorite lyrics go something like this:

Tax the rich
feed the poor
till there are
no rich no more



























NOT!

But these will do nicely:

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through

We are the champions my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the championsWe are the champions
No time for losers'Cause we are the champions of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

We are the champions my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'cause we are the champions of the world

[Southern Man]

This thread got me off on a tangent looking for some old lyrics and I just HAD to have.....

I was really looking for some old Arlo Guthrie lyrics for a song called "Me and my goose" from his 1974 self titled album....
(I never found the lyrics to that song or even an offer to buy the album... If anyone knows where to get this I would love to get a copy)

funny how looking for stuff on the internet can lead you to unknown places....

Anyway, this was one of my favorite songs when I was about 15 - it was released in 1973....

BTW: I was 12 in 1973, It took me a couple of years to find this one......

I'm The Slime / From: Overnight Sensation - Frank Zappa

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks . . .
Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

[Con]

I can't really contribute to this with my collection of UK hip hop

Don't think Rodney P and Skitz will like the swear filters lmao

You have to work really, REALLY hard to find a bad song by Queen, IMHO.
