Strike from behind and knock me to the ground,
Kick me while I'm down,
Stab me in the back, you bastards,
Tear my heart out of my chest,
I'll rise from the ashes, from these wounds of mine,
From the rage,
I'm right on your track, you bastads,
Dozens of eyes for an eye,
Vengeance is mine

So, reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home.
'Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam.

Slipping sideways, silver stars collide,
And fade away just like our love that died.
There is nowhere in this universe to hide
From you tonight.

I've wrestled with angels all my life,
It's always the halos and the wings
That keep you blind,
And if I fall with all the strength
I held inside,
I wouldn't be out here, alone tonight.

I wouldn't be standing alone tonight....

We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down,
On our way we will hit the ground,
Scattered fragments of time,
Like beams of the light we are,
Just when we realize that we are alive, we die.

Here it comes, here comes, here it comes now....
Here it comes, here comes, here it comes now....

Collide....

Here it comes, here it comes now....

You and I,

Here it comes, here it comes now....

You and I,

I can make you fly high
I can make you fly high
Did you hear me whispering Hello?
Did you see me waving goodbye?
Did you notice that I didn't cry?
Your taste I don't mind
It was worth the try
And though uninvited
I came by
Did you notice that I didn't cry

See, I don't listen to Disney all the time

They're movin' real fast, they're the only ones who can get there on time.
They're never too far behind, they're always fighting crime.
On the curve or facing adventure in the danger zone,
Pretty soon they'll be off on a mission, come and watch them go!
Pole Position!

Her skin reflects so beautifully,
She looks to me and turns away,

Have you given up yet? Or are you all just lazy sods who are asleep in bed? shock
/me assumes.... both!

The answers were (obviously) "The Scorpion" by Megadeath, and "Days Like These" from GTA 1 (tongue)

Don't feel too disheartened about the GTA reference though, because if you tweak your spelling of beserk then you can get search results for "Segue (IV)" by Prince shock

So not only is there a Five-George-Kay clan out there selling copies of that fake police radio tape to people, but there's also a 49-Year-Old Unidentified Man clan. Hmm. shock
Another excerpt of which appears in Cowboy Bebop shock

"If you're not living on the edge, you're taking too much room.

I could have been a contender, could have been a someone.
Caught up in the rat race, I'm feeling like no one....

..

The same old routine, repeating week after week.
You gotta work harder, because you're told that you must.
You must earn a living, you must earn a crust.

Be like everybody else, be like everybody else.
Just be like everybody else, just be like everybody else..."

Accelerate, jump, calculate the fall.
I knew what would happen beforehand.
I believed I would make it across.

What's it all for?

It's a real illusion...
Oh yeah...

To find, that I can lose.
To fall, that I can stand.
To freeze, that I can ignite.
To find myself within me and not fear the edge.
To die, that I can be reborn.

I had no idea
I was your latest big mistake
I had no idea
we were dancing on someone's remains
given he is marked like me
would I see him in a crowd?
given his lines
resembled mine
would I catch his eye?
we could hammer it out in a neutral space
and he would say
trust is a hard thing to come by these days

Standing outside on a kitchen floor
Love utensils in the palm of her hand
Saluting supermarket majorettes
We understand
Oh muzak for digital clocks
Departmental stores, vacate no sound
Exchanging surgical appliances
On hired ground
Damn it's a long time since I listened to that.

Been a while, but since I started the thread, and since this means something to me, I don't feel guilty.....


it's a mystery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed
'n' you think you have to want more than you need
until you have it all you
won't be freed
Society, you're a crazy breed,
I hope you're not lonely without me.
When you want more than you have,
you think you need,
and when you think more than you want,
your thoughts begin to bleed.
I think I need to find a bigger place,
because when you have more than you think,
you need more space.
Society, you're a crazy breed.
I hope you're not lonely without me.


This is from 'Into The Wild' (chapter: Manhood)... and the lyrics need the guitar accompaniment to do them justice, but it feels like it is all that matters. Try it, maybe it works for you too.

We were driving,
To the city,
With a thousand stars and a thousand places to see,

We were passing,
Miles of desert,
With a train so long and the rocks as far as you see,

I'll take the window down so I can breathe,
I'll take the window down so I can breathe,

It don't matter,
When we get there,
The fun just started at the side of the road.

It don'e tamatter
When we get there,
The fun just started at the side of the road.
Can you believe that the lyrics to this song are (almost) not referenced at all on the internet? shock

Must have been walking,
don't know this place.
Somebody stopped talking,
is it written in my face?

Thought I'd never leave you,
thought I'd never dare.
But I watched you going under,
it's a thought I could not bare.
