More Human Drama - Tears

See the pictures on the wall
The glory of the faces
Who never understood at all
The power of the moment
Or where the moment could lead

When the power starts to fade
Weak, we start to tremble
It becomes an avalanche
We are overtaken by a feeling burning to get out

Our tears
There is nothing we can do to dry them

A starry sky tonight
Could turn to storm tomorrow
If it does we must be brave
We must live through it
Fear only kills if we allow

But the power of my love
Reaches farther then my touch
And it is more real
Then any trick your mind can play
And any trick I've been the victim of

Our tears
There is nothing we can do to dry them

If only I could carry you away
If we really were all we need
We'd have to create another place
That no one else has ever been
If only I could learn how to love
As strong as the pain I feel
I could dry our tears

There is writing on the wall
I know because I wrote it
Says it's ok to dream
And it's alright to promise
Just don't promise what you dream

[Elysiume]

Lol, more from me.
Crows - The Gothic Archies

It gets dark around here early
Because of all the crows
What they want and where they came from
No one really knows
Crows are sour and surly
With reason, I suppose

There are crows, crows, crows in the trees
Saying crows things, doing as they please
There are crows, crows, crows everywhere
But when I think of you, dear, I don’t care

There are crows, crows, crows in the trees
Saying crows things, doing as they please
There are crows, crows, crows everywhere
But when I think of you, dear, I don’t care

It gets light around slowly
Because of how it goes
Every day we hear the same dumb list of those crows' woes
Thinking they’re so holy while leaving mementos

There are crows, crows, crows in the trees
Saying crow things, doing as they please
There are crows, crows, crows everywhere
But when I think of you, dear, I don’t care

I don’t care because I know you love me
Unlike all crows lurking above me...

(Love Amanda's rhyming.) Currently it's

Dresden Dolls- Dear Jenny-

boys wear overcoats in heat like this to keep themselves from showing
girls fill out prescriptions for the tricks that keep their hearts from growing
specialists review the year in tears and call for drastic measures
send them to resorts for boys and girl to get their shit together

sad but true the facts of life are bound to get you down
so whats the use dear jenny anyway the world is pretty...

ashley talks to astronauts back home by way of fax transmission
andy gets a new tattoo each time he gets back bathroom privledge
weary o so drealiy we wave our flags into the camera
amber goes berserk completely she's been here since last december

sad but true the truth can turn your smile to a frown
so whats the use dear jenny anyway the world is pretty
upside-down...

the rates are better in the summer
looks like dear jenny's doing better...

back at home the broadcast warning bounces off of an empty table
jenny asks the astronauts to sleep with her behind the stable
christmas hasn't been the same since dad put in the central heating
checks you before bedtime with a battery to keep your new heart beating

and the world might turn a million times around before
they tell you jenny anyway the world is pretty world is pretty happy world is pretty happy

sometimes they let strangers in and other times they check their records
when they check out in the morning dad puts out the lie detectors
jenny prays to gods she've never heard of for a special warning
all the walls stay dead as jennys heart is
but shes still observing

sad but true the highgloss gloss paint wont tell you what to do
so whats the use dear jenny anyway
the world is happy
world is happy
world is happy without you...

the rates are better in the summer....
looks like old jennys doing better...

Night Reconnaissance

Nothing is crueller than children who come from good homes
Gotta forgive them, I guess, but whose side are you on?
Driving around my hometown, I remember it all
Dropping my lunchbox and tampax all over the hall
And they said...

You are a socialist cokehead, we know from your clothes
You are a Satanist worshipper, oh, that's evil
You think you're poet, a folksinger, ???
A volleyball player?! you've got to be kidding us all

So we hide from the cunts
On a night reconnaissance
Steal flamingos and gnomes
From the dark side of the lawn

No one can stop us
The script is a work of genius
No one has bought the rights yet but
We're not giving up
Every unwanted lawn jockey fits in the script
Directed by Spielberg and starring the masochist club

Marion looked like hell
Stuck in that ridicules shell
Give us some light and god's pure love
We know what you've been dreaming of
Give us some light and god's pure love
We know what you've been dreaming of
Give us some light and god's pure love
We know what you've been dreaming of
We're taking you to Hollywood
Hollywood

And we hide from the cunts
On a night reconnaissance
Steal flamingos and gnomes
From the dark side of the lawn

One is a socialist cock-head they dressed in my clothes
One is a Satanist worshipping who's evil
One is a poet who starts up a band of his own
One is a volleyball player with both of her wrists broke

And we hide from the cunts
On a night reconnaissance
Steal flamingos girls and gnomes
From the dark side of the lawn

And we give them good homes
Give them love they've never known
In the loft, in the lawn,
In the town where I was born
In the loft, in the bar,
In the town where I was born
--------------
The Mouse and the Model

nothing is certain at this time of day
you could reverberate you could decay
the mouse and the model are laughing at us
we'll risk it we're desperate for someone to trust

let's start a new heart the new charts are in
we'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in

by counting your blessings you wind up in debt
it starts with your family and camps in your bed
you jekyll and hide it when you could have left
your guard down your dress up you must be upset

let's start a new heart the new charts are in
we'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in

it's dark over here on the flipside of reason
the teaser could be something easy like they did it in a book
you're a crook you're a fake you committed
if you did it say you did it if you didn't suck it up and say you did

let's start a new heart the new charts are in
we'll tax them relax them and make them forfeit
the vote by a landslide the jekyll and hyde
mackenzie macabre she's bonnie and clyde

[Haunted House]

T.S.O.L - "Code Blue"

I never got along with the girls at my school
Filling me up with all their morals and their rules
They'd pile all their problems on my head
I'd rather go out and fuck the dead
'Cause I can do what I want and they won't complain
I wanna fuck I wanna fuck the dead
Middle of the night so silently
I creep on over to the mortuary
Lift up the casket and fiddle with the dead
Their cold blue flesh makes me turn red
'Cause I can do what I want and they won't complain
I wanna fuck I wanna fuck the dead
And I don't even care how she died...
But I like it better if she smells of formaldehyde!
Never on the rag or say leave me alone
They don't scream and they don't moan
Don't even cry if I shoot in their hair
Lying on the table she smiles and she stares


LOL.

Oomph! - Das letzte Streichholz

Sie küsste sanft ihr liebstes Spielzeug
bevor sie es zerbrach
dann schlich sie sich voll dunkler Sehnsucht
ins kalte Schlafgemach

Sie holte leise das letzte Streichholz
aus Vaters Schrank hervor
"warum hast du mir nie geholfen?"
schrie sie in Muters Ohr
"ich hoffe, dass wir uns nie wieder sehen!"

"damit ihr wisst, wie es ist
in der Hölle zu sein
damit ihr wisst, wie es ist
nach Erlösung zu schreien
nur deshalb komm ich zurück
mit flammendem blick
ich nehme das letzte Streichholz
und verbrenne eure schöne heile Welt"

Sie kochte sich die letzte Mahlzeit
bevor sie sich erbrach
dann spuckte sie voll tiefer Abscheu
ins schwarze Schlafgemach

"ich hoffe, dass wir uns nie wieder sehn!"

"damit ihr wisst, wie es ist
in der Hölle zu sein
damit ihr wisst, wie es ist
nach Erlösung zu schreien
nur deshalb komm ich zurück
mit flammendem blick
ich nehme das letzte Streichholz
und verbrenne eure Welt"

"wisst ihr jetzt, wie die Hölle wirklich ist
wisst ihr jetzt, wie die Hölle wirklich ist
wisst ihr, dass euer spiel zu ende ist
wisst ihr, dass eure liebe tödlich ist?"

(nie wieder! nie wieder!)

"damit ihr wisst, wie es ist
in der Hölle zu sein
damit ihr wisst, wie es ist
nach Erlösung zu schreien
nur deshalb komm ich zurück
mit flammendem blick
ich nehme das letzte Streichholz
und verbrenne eure Welt"

Tito & Tarantula - "After Dark" (I just love it!)

Watching her
Strolling in the night
So white
Wondering why
It's only After Dark

In her eyes
A distant fire light
burns bright
Wondering why
It's only After Dark

I find myself in her room
Feel the fever of my doom
Falling falling
Through the floor
I'm knocking on the Devil's door

In the Dawn
I wake up to find
her gone
And a note says
Only After Dark

Burning burning
in the flame
Now I know her
secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she'll be back
and rule again

In my heart
A deep and dark
and lonely part
Wants her and
waits for After Dark

[MegearaErotica]

Wine Red - The Hush Sound

Who shot that arrow in your throat?
Who missed the crimson apple?
And there is discord in the garden tonight

The sea is wine red
This is the death of beauty
The doves have died
The lovers have lied

I cut the arrow from your neck
Stretched you beneath the tree
Among the roots and baby's breath
I covered us with silver leaves

Atomizer - When I die, I wanna die violently.

[Dr Nancy]

I will follow you in to the dark - Death Cab For Cutie

In catholic school
As vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised
By a lady in black
And I held my tongue
As she told me, "Son,
Fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the "No"s
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
Because we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

[Elysiume]

Voltaire - The Vampire Club
Oh, the moon was full
And the color of blood
The night the pirates came
To the Vampire Club

Their leader was tall and snide and slim
He looked like a gay Captain Morgan
Well, he recognized a Vampire
From his school
And he did something that was
Most uncool, he said,
"Hey everybody, see that fool in the cape?"
His name's Bernie Weinstein
And he's in the 8th grade!"

Fangs were flying, capes were torn
Hell hath no fury like a Vampire scorned
The number one rule in this game:
Never call one by his real name
Wigs were pulled, top hats were crushed
By pointy boots in a rush
And Boris at the bar orders a Bud and says,
"It's just another night at the Vampire Club."

Missi lost a fang in the ladies room
And we all laughed and called her 'Snaggletooth!"
And Dee was made cause he broke his cane
And he flushed his contacts down the drain
There was so much angst after the fight
Vlad and Akasha broke up that night
While some rivet-heads danced in a puddle of goo
That used to be "Father" you-know-who!

Well, its hard to believe but we're still around
And when we hang out it's upside down
Dressed in black from toe to head singing,
"Bela Lugosi's still undead!"
A gaggle of goths is a peaceful site
We'd do anything to avoid a fight
But if you really want to see some gore and blood
Wait 'til the Ravers come to the Vampire Club

"Insane in the brain" - cypress hill.

"Who you trin to get crazy with ese? dont you know Im loco?

Hide from the red light beam
Now do you believe in the unseen
Look, but dont make you eyes strain
A nigga like me is goin insane

[Saya]

My favourite drinking song!

The Philosopher's Song (Monty Python)

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed....

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away;
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!

Driking song?

Korpiklaani - Beer, beer.

[MegearaErotica]

(Verse 1)
Bang!
Explosions in my head that just won't quit.
A train has crashed into the wall around my heart.
And left me the old me dead, obliterated.
Stop!
My breathing in the night when you're not there.
The silence ringing through my ears,
And all I want to do is hear your voice.
But you're not there.

Drawn together,
Painter's brushstroke,
Slight of hand we,
We won't go up in smoke.
Fates colliding,
Love undying.

(Chorus x2)
Like the rising tide
Beating hearts grow but never die.
Simplify, I'll stand by your side,
Close my eyes, hope will never die.

(Verse 2)
Boom!
Take away the pain of being me.
Soothe my soul, caress my heart and end my fear, all my bad memories,
Eradicated.
Bang!
Like gunshots heard against the silent night,
My love is stronger than these words; they're stronger than the rest.
Unstoppable, unstoppable!

Drawn together,
Painter's brushstroke,
Slight of hand we,
We won't go up in smoke.
Fates colliding,
Love undying.


(Chorus x2)
Like the rising tide
Beating hearts grow but never die.
Simplify, I'll stand by your side,
Close my eyes, hope will never die.
Will never die.

Die. (Long scream)

Drawn together,
Painter's brushstroke,
Slight of hand we,
We won't go up in smoke.
Fates colliding,
Love undying.

(Chorus x2)
Like the rising tide
Beating hearts grow but never die.
Simplify, I'll stand by your side,
Close my eyes, hope will never die.
Will never die.
Die!

Dance While The Sky Crashes Down - Jason Webley


The flowers by your bed are wilting.
The sun is setting in the west.
A fog is covering your eyes,
Your stockings are attracting flies,
Decay is nibbling at the boards on which you rest.

There's someone waiting at your window,
Familiar face without a name.
One night he'll creep in like the mist,
To touch your forehead with a kiss,
And lead you back into the void from whence you came.

We've all begun to die, and don't know what to do.
Since it hurts to pray to God, when God is dying too.
Takes strength to laugh, when you start to drown.
And we dance while the sky crashes down.

Like that the earth begins to quiver,
And all the oceans turn to black.
A ship of maniacs with knives,
Are playing Blackjack with their lives,
To kill the time until the giant rats attack.

It's raining leprosy and acid.
The saints were taken out and shot.
When someone proffers you a pear,
You sink your teeth in unaware,
That just beneath the skin lies pestilence and rot.

All that now breathes, and all that you love,
All that we weave, will find its way back to the dust.

A band of skeletons is playing,
Don't act like you don't know the tune.
Your part is echoed in the path,
Of every dead leaf blowing past,
Against a counterpoint reflected off the moon.

There is a banquet at the table,
Exotic cheeses wines and cakes.
And every one of us is damned,
Until we start to understand,
That living is to gorge ourselves at our own wakes.

When the stakes are high, best to play the clown.
And we dance while the sky crashes down.

[Saya]

Listening to music I haven't listened to in years, I forgot all about Sam Roberts *weeps* God I loved him.

Hard Road by Sam Roberts

Feel
Feel it grow
In your mind
In your mind
Life
Is how you live it
Through time
Through time

And there's no desert sun
That is hot enough
To feed your fire
We shipwreck like fools
Only to become
The ocean's choir

And the sun dies until it's reborn
And there's no road
That ain't a hard road
To travel on

Got lost on my way
But you
Found the road again
Stay true to your friends
Cause they'll save you
In the end

There must be something in the air, in the air
Some kind of answer to my prayers, to my prayers
Some kind of answer to my prayers

Been dying since the day I was born
Cause there's no road
That ain't a hard road
To travel on

I have a vision in my mind
Of a life that I've left behind
Yeah, can't you see that
Lost souls
Can't swim
You know you'll sink
But you still jump in

And it's alright
To get caught
Stealing back
What you've lost

Yeah, don't you know that
Lost souls
Can't swim
You beat them back
Or they'll drag you in

And I can't say
That I am sorry
For all my medicines

And you try to find a love
That'll see you through your darkest days
And her soft brown hair
Is as long as a Canadian highway

And the sun dies until it's reborn
But there's no road
That ain't a hard road
To travel on

Been dying since the day I was born
Cause there's no road
That ain't a hard road
To travel on

There must be something in the air, in the air

[Jonathan]

In a bright spot in the sun, I feel my heart start to clear
Your two eyes look like sunflower seeds

Chatting and piling things up, rolling them into the katamari
It's essential to be together

But you're creating a precious dream
And 'til you're done, I'll be waiting here, no matter what

You're lonely rolling star
Don't stop moving, ok?
You're lonely rolling star
Now, let's face forward and go

The starry sky twinkles like confetti
Sweet, yet painful, feelings envelope me

These feelings I hold close dance in the night sky
Will they, I wonder, plummet to the ground at your feet?

You're lonely rolling star
Don't give up, ok?
You're lonely rolling star
Give me a call some time

You're lonely rolling star
I want to meet you right now
You're lonely star
Ah, a sigh escapes my lips

Let's meet again at our special place next month

You're lonely rolling star
Don't stop moving, ok?
You're lonely rolling star
Remember me, please?

You're lonely rolling star
I can't wait for you, you know?
You're lonely rolling star
Now, let's face forward and go


Lonely Rolling Star, by Yoshihito Yano
One of the cutest, and yet difficult songs I've heard.

[Sanguine Mind]

A tout le monde - Megadeth

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all

A tout le monde (To everybody)
A tout mes amis (To all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I must leave)
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living all are scarred

A tout le monde (To everybody)
A tout mes amis (To all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I must leave)
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body's gone that's all

A tout le monde (To everybody)
A tout mes amis (To all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I must leave)
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

"I'm a Mineralist"
Written by Carla Bley with Robert Wyatt on vocals and Nick Mason on drums.

Here's a shocking revelation for you voyeurs
Such a heinous deviation, these are no clues
I'm a Mineralist, I'm a Mineralist

Just the thought of ironing gives me spasms of lust
I creep up to old wrecked cars and lick off the rust
I'm a Mineralist, I'm a Mineralist

Mother used to try to metal in my affairs
Keep your nose up off that grindstone, people
Will stare
Get the lead out of your pants and change your
Underwear

I've been stealing baby bottles since I was born
I'll go blind from balling bearings, doctors have
Warned
I like making out with steel-rimmed glasses
More than horned

Erik Satie gets my rocks off, Cage is a dream
Phillip Glass is a Mineralist to the extreme

I like tickling ivories and fingering stones
When my mercury goes up I play with my bone

Peole take for granite my perversion is wrong
I'm not harming anyone by beating my gong
I'm a Mineralist, I'm a Mineralist

I'll make love to minerals as long as I can
And in fifty years I'll be a jaded old man
I'm a Mineralist, I'm a Mineralist
I'm a Mineralist, I'm a Mineralist.

[pixy_dust]

I have bits & pieces of fav songs:

"Severance" Dead Can Dance Cover by Bauhaus:

Severance,
The birds of leaving call to us,
Yet here we stand
Endowed with the fear of flight.
Overland
The winds of change consume the land,
While we remain
In the shadow of summers now past.
When all the leaves
Have fallen and turned to dust,
Will we remain
Entrenched within our ways.
Indifference,
The plague that moves throughout this land
Omen signs
In the shapes of things to come.

Tomorrows child is the only child.


"Some Kind of Stranger" Sisters of Mercy- fav bit:

Because the world is cruel and
Promises are broken
Don't try to tell me
Anything don't try to tell me
You'll be true to me you know the
Real truth is never spoken
And I know the world is cold but
If you hold on tight to what you
Find you might not mind too much though
Even this must pass away and
Memories may last for years but
Names are just for souvenirs
Some kind of angel let me
Look into your eyes
Don't give me whys and wherefores
Reason or surprise
I don't care for words that don't belong
And I don't care what you're called
Tell me later if at all
I can wait a long long time
Before I hear another love song


"Pictures of You" The Cure- fav bit:

You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark


"At Your Funeral" by Saves the Day

This song will become the anthem of your underground.
You're two floors down getting high in the back room.
If I flooded out your house, do you think you'd make it out,
or would you burn up before the water filled your lungs?

And at your funeral I will sing the requiem.
I'd offer you my hand, it would hurt too much to watch you die.

And you can bet when we mourn the death of you that night
that they'll lay me on the dinner table, I will be the pig
with the apple in my mouth, the food that celebrates your end.

[Swest]

I was thinking about it again the other day

I'm not sure of
I can't remember the name

It was down the street
from my apartment
and I used to go by there
pretty often
once a month or so

It was set
back from my street
by a courtyard garden
with a winding path
a stone gazebo
and four or five trees
it had beautiful tall windows
and red stone walls

I never went inside

It was clear to me that
I should keep it
as it was
in my imagination
the most peaceful place

[Velma Velvet]

When it comes to lyrics, I never like the whole song. However, I do fancy parts.

God's Pink Laser by Bubblegum Octopus

Stars, the sun, and the moon:
the places you left me alone with god and his great pink laser

Theatre Of Tragedy - A Distance There Is

Come in out of the rain thou sayest - but thou ne'er step'st aside;
And I am trapp'd -
A distance there is...
None, save me and the bodkin - pitter-patter on the roof:
Behold! - 'tis not the rain; thence me it has to be -
I will not drink thy vintage wine, my dear;
Thou hast heed'd that I am of innocence, yet thou let'st thy lass into peril
-
Thou let'st me be parched;
My heart is of frailty, my pale skin is hued damask.
When thou thy tears hast hidden, Come back!, thou sayest -
There I soon am to be - but how am I to run when my bones, my heart!
Thou hast me bereaft! -
But run thou sayest; I run -
And there and then I behold that a time will come when I again dead will be.
Thou tell'st me to leave without delay -
I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands;
Lo! - the shadows, the sky - descending;
So by a dint of smite I gait ere I run and melt together with dusk.
In my mind in which is this event,
But it seems as if naught is to change anyway?!

After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional depths -
The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me,
Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world:
All the beatiful moments shared, deliberatlely push'd aside -
...a distance there is...

[$haDe]

Theatre of Tragedy, too.

A Rose For The Dead.


oh - my dearest; the sweet music in the ear -
albeit, daresay I, the lullaby of an everso dark sleep.

my precious,
likest thou what emergeth yon the distant?
the throbbing and breathing of life's machinery!

wanion its oh so damndest soul!
with the devil-instrument it we shall reap,
after the banquet obscur'd in our thole,
its blood so lovingly across our faces smear

lord of carnage!,

lady of carnage!,

one funeral maketh many,

swarm god's acres;

two indeed more:
blest treat of delight -

give praise for the blood it bled,
grant a rose for the dead!
grant a rose for the dead!

enraptur'd by the timeless beauty of the
shadowsphere,
we two abide the overlook'd time of the watch.

make this cherish'd feast last
but until the new dawn ascendeth.

be still - harken the lure of night!
bale in each its damndest shadow,
cloth me in night, ne'er fell rue,
in its face, behold! naught save grue.

pray, ne'er come hither daylight!
wane to dust the wight,
velvet darkness, thee we ourselves bestow!
misery it in velvet fright
