Heres a simple one. :)
Whatever song you feel like posting from day to day, that is a favourite of yours ,or you've heard somewhere and liked, why not post the lyrics here.

I'll start.

My song of the day....

The Great Beyond
R.E.M

I´ve watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I can´t believe that I believed I wished
That you could see
There´s a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

In all this talk of time
Talk is fine
But I don´t want to stay around
Why can´t we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Me and you with wings on our feet

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

I´m breaking through
I´m bending spoons
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
I look into the stars
I look into the moon

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

I´m breaking through
I´m bending spoons
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I´m breaking through
I´m bending spoons
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m looking for answers from the great
Answers from the great, answers

I´m breaking through
I´m bending spoons
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I´m breaking through
I´m bending spoons
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
I´m looking for answers from the great
Answers from the great, answers

Ambition
Acoustic version by Christian Defenestration.

I see a man asking alms for a song,
His raspy voice sing of love long since lost.
Once upon a time he must have been somebody's little boy
Now he's out here on his own,
Far from home.

I see a woman wrapped in rags against the cold,
Struggling desperately to keep her children warm.
Passers-by avert their eyes and shamefully look the other way;
Terrified of what they'll find
Behind a child's gaze.

No-one asks these children:
What do you want to be if you grow up?
Would you like to be a doctor or a lawyer?
Would you like to have a house someday
and a new car in your driveway?
Or would you like to live off the Dole and drink whiskey?

Did Santa Clause bring you everything you asked?
Is there anything on your mind besides staying alive?
I walk by faith; when I was walking by sight I kept tripping over things.

Games People Play by Joe South
But I much prefer it sung by Dick Gaughan

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean

And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

Song o' th' Day for me:

Look at your face,
it doesn't shine the way it used to;
Look at your eyes,
they don't sparkle anymore.
Look what you've done,
you've ruined it for everyone;
Who told you that you had to lose your innocence?

I, I'm starting over.

The Progenies of The Great Apocalypse-Dimmu Borgir


The battle raged on and on
Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man
Consistently, without the eyes to see
By those who revel in sewer equally

We, the prosperity of the future seal
Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Born to capture the essence of
The trails of our kind

Zero tolerance must be issued forth
Behind the enemy's line
So it shall be written
And so it shall be done

[repeat 1st and 2nd verse]

Discover and conceive the secret wealth
And pass it unto your breed
Become your own congregation
Measure the sovereignty of it's invigoration

We, who not deny the animal of our nature
We, who yearn to preserve our liberation
We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire
We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it's strength

Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare
Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess
Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might
Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours

Consider the god we could be without the grace
Once and for all
Diminish the sub principle and leave it's toxic trace
Once and for all

[Music by Mustis]
[Lyrics by Silenoz]

Dimmur Borgir for those of you who don't know is a symphonic black metal band from Norway. i'm not too much into the black metal scene but this band stylistically is fantastic. i'm not into the whole shock metal image. even the newer metal bands who are into all that shock stuff remind me of the oldies like KISS or Alice Cooper. but i researched the lyrics of this song i really dig by Dimmur Borgir and was really impressed of the writing of the band, especially coming from a black metal band.

Here's a very unusual song, but I like it very much :)



"Twilight Odyssey" by Garden of Shadows

We traveled towards land unknown
Upon the winding path of fate
Uncertainty, our companion
Understanding, our destination
We looked above to the heavens
While fire blazed across the sky
And seared it a brilliant crimson
That quickly faded to gray...
Enchanted mist rained down upon us
Clouding the path with haze
Vertigo sensation rising within
As we hopelessly cling to vespers
And begin to slip away...
Into a vortex of undefined shapes
Trying to grasp
Some shred of reality
A futile endeavor
In this dreamlike world
Infinity's child surrounds
Where the golden chimeras fly
As a phantasmagoria unfolds before our eyes
As we yield to our invigorated senses
The existence we once knew falls away
And we spread our wings for the first time
With unparalleled abandon
We drink in the rich beauty
That lies in the forgotten wisdom
Of this unearthly realm...
It flows into us
As we bathe in the twilight glow
And the secrets of the universe
Are bestowed upon us
In a celestial coronation
As we rotate as one
In harmony with the spheres...

Hi, tattedsaint! :)

That Dimmu Borgir song seems very interesting. :) But I've read that many songs by that band are Satanic... Is that true? :blink:

A cautionary tale ;)

Madeira M'Dear - Flanders and Swann

She was young, she was pure, she was new, she was nice,
She was fair, she was sweet seventeen.
He was old, he was vile and no stranger to vice,
He was base, he was bad, he was mean.
He had slyly enveigled her up to his flat
To view his collection of stamps
And he said as he hastened to put out the cat,
The wine, his cigar and the lamps:


"Have some Madeira, m'Dear!
You really have nothing to fear.
I'm not trying to tempt you, that wouldn't be right;
You shouldn't drink spirits at this time of night.
Have some Madeira, m'Dear!
It's so very much nicer than beer.
I don't care for sherry and cannot drink stout
And port is a wine I can well do without.
It's simply a case of "chaçun à son goût".
Have some Madeira, m'Dear!"


Unaware of the wiles of the snake in the grass
And the fate of the maiden who topes,
She lowered her standards by raising her glass,
Her courage, her eyes and his hopes.
She sipped it, she drank it, she drained it, she did
And quietly he filled it again
And he said as he secretly carved one more notch
On the butt of his gold-handled cane.


"Have some Madeira, m'Dear!
I've got a small cask of it here
And once it's been opened, you know it won't keep
Do finish it up, it will help you to sleep.
Have some Madeira, m'Dear!
It's really an excellent year.
Now if it were gin, you'd be wrong to say yes,
The evil gin does would be hard to assess
(Besides it's inclined to affect my prowess)
Have some Madeira, m'Dear!"


Then there flashed though her mind what her mother had said
With her antepenultimate breath:
"Oh my child, should you look at the wine which is red
Be prepared for a fate worse than death!"
She let go her glass with a shrill little cry.
Crash! Tinkle! It fell to the floor.
When he asked "what in Heaven?" she made no reply,
Up her mind, a dash for the door.


"Have some Madeira, m'Dear!"
Rang out down the hall, loud and clear,
A tremulous cry that was filled with despair
As she paused to take breath in the full midnight air.
"Have some Madeira, m'Dear!"
The words seemed to ring in her ear
Until the next morning, she woke up in bed
With a smile on her lips, an ache in her head
And a beard in her earhole that tickled and said:
"Have some Madeira, m'Dear!"

True Colours - Cyndi Lauper

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged, though I realise
It's hard to take courage
in a world, full of people, you can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
will make you feel so small

But I see your true colours, shining through
I see your true colours, and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid, to let them show
Your true colours, true colours
Are beautiful, like a rainbow

yes some songs are. from what i've heard about the band, specifically from a poster at CF (his name is Yam Kimil. he knows more about this band than i do) it seems from what i read of one of his post in regards to this band is, their earlier stuff was more of the cliched' lyrics that many black metal bands produce. but now, they are more apolcalypitc(sp may be off this morning :P)/non-theistic Satanism. which there is a difference, meaning in the views of one that actually worships Satan, and one that uses the whole "Satan" thing as an image of shock and rebellion and have more of a darker humanistic view of life.

if anything, i feel safe to assume that their writing has matured from stupid chessy lyrics of the devil and such, to more of just writing things in a cryptic manner...no matter of what their views are/have changed. at least that it was seems on their

As X-Factor starts again on British TV, I'm always reminded of Noel Coward's Mrs. Worthington:

Don't put your daughter on the stage, Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your daughter on the stage,
She's a bit of an ugly duckling
You must honestly confess,
And the width of her seat
Would surely defeat
Her chances of success,
It's a loud voice, and though it's not exactly flat,
She'll need a little more than that
To earn a living wage.
On my knees,
Mrs. Worthington,
Please
Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your daughter on the stage.
