Lyrics

Darkness In The Edge Of Town
by Bruce Springsteen

They're still racing out at the Trestles
But that blood it never burned in her veins
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
And a style she's trying to maintain
Well if she wants to see me
You can tell her that I'm easily found
Tell her there's a spot out `neath Abram's Bridge
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town

Everybody's got a secret Sonny
Something that they just can't face
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take
Till some day they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag `em down
Where no one asks any questions
Or looks too long in your face
In the darkness on the edge of town

Some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
I lost my money and I lost my wife
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now
Tonight I'll be on that hill `cause I can't stop
I'll be on that hill with everything I got
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town
 
maaya sakamoto - Call to me

Call to me
I know you're gonna feel
Something in the air that makes a smile
Come with me
Together we will be

Love was in the air that night
And what we got is alright
Something must have meant to be
This is what we are now

You're safe with me
Through life's little mysteries
A road we'll travel dreaming hand in hand
And you will see
Somethings in life are free

All that what we feel tonight
Is all we need to make it right
Nothing could compare to you
The sweetest thing you are now

And when lost and alone
Just look in the sky and see stars
Hello, hello there you are
You were never lost at all
Cause it might have just been me

Love was in the air that night
And what we got is alright
Something must have meant to be
This is what we are now

All that what we feel tonight
Is all we need to make it right
Nothing could compare to you
The sweetest thing you are now

Lovers in the air tonigh
I know it's gonna be alright
Something must have meant to be
This is all we are now
 
"Brand New Day"

How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair
And how many times do you swear that you'll never love again?

How many lonely, sleepless nights
How many lies, how many fights
And why would you want to put yourself through all that again?

"Love is pain," I hear you say
Love has a cruel and bitter way
Of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain

How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again

One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet
But that same old smile that you've been thinking of all day

You can turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way

Turn the clock to zero, sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
Starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day

It could happen to you - just like it happened to me
There's simply no immunity - there's no guarantee
I say love's such a force - if you find yourself in it
And sometimes no reflection is there

Baby wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute

Turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero, Mac
I'm begging her to take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way

Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero buddy
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy
Started up a brand new day

I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm a bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and I'm the wave
I?m the plow and you?re the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm a flagpole to your nation - yeah

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day

I'm the present to your future
You're the wound and I?m the suture
You're the magnet to my pole
I'm the devil in your soul
You're the pupil I'm the teacher
You're the church and I'm the preacher
You're the flower I'm the rain
You're the tunnel I'm the train

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day

You're the crop to my rotation
You're the sum of my equation
I'm the answer to your question
If you follow my suggestion
We can turn this ship around
We'll go up instead of down
You're the pan and I'm the handle
You're the flame and I'm the candle

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
We're starting up a brand new day
 
In Flames - Only for the Weak [4:55]

I can't tolerate your sadness
Cause it's me you are drowning
I won't allow any happiness
Cause everytime you laugh, I feel so guity, I feel so guilty

Am I forced to have any regret
I've become the lie, Beautiful and free
In my righteous own mind
I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me

Sell me the infection, it is only for the weak
No need for sympathy, The misery that is me

I've lost the ability to pain the clouds
Cause it's me you're draining
I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark day
Cause everytime you run, I fall.. Behind, I fall behind

And so I hear my voice again
The tale of the bitter man here I am
Shake the silence and hear what it says
The tranquil pride that become the lie

Sell me to infection, it is only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me

Sell me to infection, it is only for the weak
On bleeding knees, I accept my fate
 
The Death And Resurrection Show
By Killing Joke

Mark out the points
Build the pyre
Assemble different drummers
Light up the fire
Put on your masks
And animal skins
Illumination, illumination
Listen to the drums
Between each beat, each beat of the drum

O beloved mother of liberty
Hold me in your arms

Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat

And the day will come
Before the lights go out
Who will you turn to
Who will you turn to
Choose the crucifixion
Or Osiris slain
Recurring themes, time again.

Illumination, illumination
Burn burn, burn white heat

Oh how ingenious the centuries of lies
Ezekiel?s chariots streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts forget
Because we know
Souls are recycled in the death and
Resurrection show

O beloved mother of liberty
Come to me

Everything I?m taught, amounts to nought
Everything I learn, the fire shall burn
Notions of myself that when I?m not
Whoever I was is now lost

Illumination, illumination
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat
Oh how ingenious the centuries of lies
Ezekiel?s chariots streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts forget
Because we know
Souls are recycled in the death and
Resurrection show

O beloved mother of liberty
Come to me

Burn away all my impurities
Hold me in your arms

Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat

<center>Blutengel - Iron Heart



Every time I see you
I only see you cry
You can't understand
What you did to me

And I always try to hide
My aggression deep inside
I feel your helplessness
But I'm not that strong

You took my soul
But you don't understand
It's so fragile and so weak

You killed my heart
With your burning ignorance
But you still think that I'm the one
I'm the one to blame

I want to run away from you
Want to leave the tears behind
You know there's nothing you can do
But please keep me in your mind

I can't stand your iron heart
I break the chains and run away
I hate every word you say
You can never make me stay
</center>
 
Herbert Grönemeyer
Lache, wenn's nicht zum weinen reicht



tausend haare in der suppe
und dein löffel hat ein loch
es fällt keine sternschnuppe
deine kerze hat keinen docht

dich quält ein unendlicher schluckauf
dein spielfeld ist ständig verschneit
und deine schaltung klemmt im leerlauf
selbst deine kriechspur ist vereist

im bus der zeit
hast du nur einen stehplatz,
einen stehplatz im
einen stehplatz im schleudertraum

du tust jedem jeden gefallen
bist bescheiden und bemüht
du wirst benutzt von allen,
erntest kein danke, nur einen tritt

das jammertal hat auch geschlossen
die klagemauer
die klagemauer ist belegt

und gleicht ein tag noch so sehr dem andern
und ist das leben unerträglich seicht
und bist du innerlich längst ausgewandert
lache, wenn's nicht zum weinen reicht

dein schiff schon ohne ratten
der kapitän bereits über bord
du bist von aller welt verlassen
leckgeschlagen auf hoher see

es steckt kein geist mehr in der flasche
fürs paradies fehlt die phantasie
die falschen wünsche in erfüllung
keine liebe, keine poesie

keine gefahr, keine abenteuer
gleichförmigkeit
gleichförmigkeit, melancholie

und gleicht ein tag noch so sehr dem andern
und ist das leben unerträglich seicht
und bist du innerlich längst ausgewandert
lache, wenn's nicht zum weinen reicht

und nennen sie dich auch eine mimose
und schlurfst du ständig neben der zeit
es gibt für jedes herz eine eigene rose,
lache, wenn's nicht zum weinen reicht

und gleicht ein tag noch so sehr dem andern
und ist das leben unerträglich seicht
und bist du innerlich längst ausgewandert
lache, wenn's nicht zum weinen reicht

und greife endlich nach den sternen
kein planet ist für dich zu weit
sehnsucht kann man zum glück nicht verlernen
zum weinen bleibt noch so viel zeit

sehnsucht kann man zum glück nicht verlernen, oder:
zum weinen bleibt noch so viel zeit
 
Hot Hot Hot!!!
by The Cure

The first time I saw lightening strike
I saw it underground
Six deep feet below the street
The sky came crashing down
For a second that place was lost in space
Then everything went black
I left that basement burning
And I never went back

The second time I saw it strike
I saw it at sea
It lit up the fish like rain
And rained then down on me
For a second that boat was still afloat
Then everything went black
I left it underwater
And I never went back

Hey hey hey!!!
But I like it when that lightening comes
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes I like it alot
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
Feeling hot hot hot!!!

The third time I saw lightening strike
It hit me in bed
It threw me around
And left me for dead
For a second that room was on the moon
Then everything went black
I left that house on fire
And I never went back

Hey hey hey!!!
But I like it when that lightening comes
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes I like it alot
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
Feeling hot hot hot!!!
 
Kaipa - Mirrors Of Yesterday

Ich finds echt klasse was man hier so alles im Board entdeckt! Und ich als Musiker/Texter darf in dieser Sammlung natürlich mit einem (oder bald mehreren ;) ) Lyrics nicht fehlen:

Kaipa - Mirrors of yesterday (Progressive Rock)
(From the record "Notes from the past")

I'm passing through the shadows in a forest of today
I'm passing an old man, he's only wearing clothes of grey
He's passing through a wall with no beginning and no end
He's passing with his secrets in this forest of pretend

I'm searching for the blue sky, but it's gone since yesterday
I'm searching for my dreams, but all my dreams have gone away
I'm looking for the bright star that will lead me on my way
But all I find is mirrors that reflect my yesterday

I'm searching for the child in me, I'm trying to recall
I'm searching for the future, but it's locked behind the wall
I'm travelling on a river, no beginning and no end
I'm travelling with my secrets on this river of pretend

I'm walking with my naked feet in wet grass in the park
I'm searching for some pieces that are hidden in the dark
Some pieces of the future and some pieces of the past
Some pieces of my music that will forever last

Gibts eigentlich einen Thread in dem man zu verschiedenen Musikrichtungen Reviews zu neuen und/oder alten CD's posten/lesen kann? Hab noch nix gefunden.
 
BROWN MUSHROOMS
Shonen Knife

Shall we go out looking for big mushrooms
On the silver plate
Shall we go out looking for brown mushrooms
More than five inches across
Maybe we can find them very soon
Maybe we can find them at the Italian restaurant

Shall we go out looking for big mushrooms
Piled high on the plate
Shall we go out looking for brown mushrooms
Like an open umbrella

Maybe we can find them under the moon
Maybe we can find them at the Italian restaurant

In fifteen minutes
They'll become appetizers
They'll be cut into pieces
To be mushroom spaghetti

We're all looking for tasty big mushrooms
We're all looking for tasty big mushrooms

Maybe we'll find magic very soon
Maybe we'll find magic at the Italian restaurant

In fifteen minutes
They'll become appetizers
They'll be cut into pieces
To be mushroom spaghetti

We're all looking for tasty big mushrooms
We're all looking for tasty big mushrooms
We're all looking for tasty big mushrooms
We're all looking for tasty...
Big mushrooms...
Big mushrooms...
Big mushrooms...
Big mushrooms...​
 
In Flames - ...As The Future Repeats Today[3:27]

There's no place that still remains
Just deserted space all left in grey
Why did we lose, the knowledge of time?
Is this the price, the hell we pay?
The poisoned fear known to man
is he who try to find his path
The collective force blaming you
"This is day day we split in half"

Thrown to the gallow, forgotten and sore
sworn to be different in what way I can
The sultry taste that is special to me
is the last gleeful glimpse of a bitter man

Down and troubled, in search for better days
Back to the beginning, I'm at the end
All my time, compressed to itching moments
as the future repeats today

So impressed, lost the faith in all I had
Broken down, I'm on my way to be dissolved

The hopes and prays of things to come
I've lost them all with glory
Urgent to aim for that short-lived joy
I see gold in all that lies before me

And so we ignore the beggers cup
Praise your act in the Grand Finale
Teach the unborn the winners sign
a welcome grin to the world Royal
 
White Russian
(Marillion / CD: Clutching At Straws)

Where do we go from here

They're boarding up the synagogues uzis on a street corner
You can't take a photograph of uzis on a street corner
the DJ resigned today they wouldn't let him have his say
a surface scratched where the needles play uzis on a street corner

Where do we go from here

Terror on the Rue de St. Denis, murder on the peripherie
Someone else in someone else's pocket, Christ knows
I don't know how to stop it
Lay poppies at the Cenotaph, the cynics can't afford
to laugh, I heard in on the telegraph there's uzis
on a street corner

Where do we go from here

The more I see the more I hear the more I find the fewer answers
I close my mind, I shut it out but you know its getting harder
to calm down, to reason out, to come to terms with
what it's all about
I'm uptight, can't sleep at night, I can't pretend everything's
alright. My ideals my sanity, they seem to be
deserting me but to stand up and fight I know
we have six million reasons

They're buring down the synagogues uzis on a street corner
the heralds of the holocaust uzis on a street corner
The silence never louder than now, how quickly we forgot
our vows, this resurrection we can't allow, the uzis
on a street corner

Where do we go from here

We buy fresh bagels from the corner store
Where swastikas are spat from aerosols
I sit in the bar sipping iced white russians
trying to score but nobody's pushing
and everyone looks at everyone's faces
searching for signs and praying for traces
of a conscience in residence, are we sitting on
a barbed wire fence, chasing the clouds home

We place our faith in human rights
In the paper wars that tie the redtape tight
I know that I would rather be out of this conspiracy

In the gulags and internment camps
nameless faces in frozen ranks
I know that they would rather be
standing here besides me chasing the clouds home

We place our faith in human rights
In the paper wars that tie the redtape tight
I know that I would rather be out of this conspiracy

In the gulags and internment camps
nameless faces in frozen ranks
I know that they would rather be
standing here besides me chasing the clouds home
racing the clouds home

You can shut your eyes, you can hide away
it's gonna come back another day

racing the clouds home

But where do we go from here
 
Lied geht mir nicht aus dem Kopf!!!!!

Ich war so high, ich habe die lodernden Flammen in ihren Augen nicht gesehen,
Das Chaos das meine Gefühle überwacht,
Sagt "Auf Wiedersehen" und sie nimmt ein Flugzeug,
Um nie wieder zurück zu kehren,
Aber immer in meinem Herzen zu sein,

Die Liebe hat mich aufgegeben.
Sie hat sich viel zu früh verabschiedet.
Ihr Herz ist vor meinen Augen gebrochen.
Ich habe keine Wahl, weil ich nicht Abschied nehmen will.

Ich habe mein Bestes versucht, um meinen Appetit zu stillen.
Versuche, sie zu halten, damit sie jede Nacht kommt.
Habe mit der Liebe gespielt, als wäre es einfach nur ein Spiel,
Habe mir vorgetäuscht, es zu glauben,
Mich dann umgedreht und wieder verlassen.

Diese Liebe hat mich aufgegeben.
Sie hat sich viel zu früh verabschiedet.
Und ihr Herz ist vor meinen Augen gebrochen.
Ich habe keine Wahl, denn ich will mich nicht wieder verabschieden.

Ich werde diese gebrochenen Dinge wieder kitten,
Deine zerbrochenen Flügel reparieren
Und sicher stellen, dass alles in Ordnung ist.
Mein Druck auf ihren Hüften, und meine Fingernägel sinken,
In jeden Zentimeter von dir,
Weil ich weiß, dass es das ist, was du willst von mir.

Diese Liebe hat mich aufgegeben.
Sie hat sich viel zu früh verabschiedet.
Und ihr Herz ist vor meinen Augen gebrochen.
Ich habe keine Wahl, denn ich will mich nicht wieder verabschieden.
 
Pulp Fiction-Soundtrack

ich mag das Lied, schon sehr alt,aber egal :rolleyes:

Urge Overkill Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
I love you so much, can't count all the ways
I've died for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of putting me down
And I'll never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find - Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know...
CHORUS:
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man
I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're are saying girl it cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well, I've finally found what I'm a-looking for
But if they get their chance they'll end it for sure
Surely would - Baby I've done all I could...
Now it's up to you...
CHORUS 2x

Hallo, jetzt ich! (Obwohls ich seeehr stark bezweifle, dass das einer kennt...)

SCHENK DAS GLAS NOCH EINMAL EIN von QUETSCHENPAUA

Komm schenk das Glas noch einmal ein,
könnt das nicht immmer nur so sein?
Ein Stück Schlaraffenland für dich,
ein Stück Schlaraffenland für mich.

Komm lass uns teiln den letzten Rest
und ich drück dich nochmal fest.
Wir ham geteilt den Tag, die Nacht,
ham unsre Sorgen weggelacht.

Bleib diese Nacht noch einmal hier
und trink ein Gläschen noch mit mir.
Der Mond steht lang schon überm Dach,
ein Auge weint, ein Auge lacht.

Die Zeit ist kurz, die Zeit ist lang,
kommt auf einen selber viel drauf an.
Ob einer merkt so wie er lebt
oder ob er nur nach Kohle strebt.

Auf unser Leben hebt das Glas,
auf unsre Liebe und den Spaß.
Der einem oft genug vergeht,
weil hier der Wind so eisig weht.

Bleib diese Nacht noch einmal hier
und trink ein Gläschen noch mit mir.
Der Mond steht lang schon überm Dach,
ein Auge weint, ein Auge lacht.

Dieses Land, diese Stadt,
manchmal hab ich alles satt
und dann fehlt mir so mancher warmer Blick.
Nimm mich mit, fass mich an
und gemeinsam gehn wir dann
keinen Zentimeter mehr zurück.

Es ist schon schwer genuch gradeaus zu gehn.
schwerer manchmal noch hier nicht durchzudrehn.
Will keinen Kuchen oder zwei,
sondern die ganze Bäckerei.
Und ne Sahnehaube oben drauf.
Will keinen Kuchen oder zwei,
sondern die ganze Bäckerei.
Und ne Sahnehaube oben drauf...

Asche und Glut kann es nur zusammen geben
Ebbe und Flut kann es nur zusammen geben
Beherrschung und Wut kann es nur zusammen geben
Ängste und Mut kann es nur zusammen geben

Liebe und Hass - ewig vereint so wie zwei Brüder
Farbenfroh und Blass - ewig vereint so wie zwei Brüder
Frieden und Krieg - ewig vereint so wie zwei Brüder
Untergang und Sieg - ewig vereint so wie zwei Brüder

Licht und Schatten mein Herz bewohnen
Sind eng verbunden schon seit Äonen
Wie Licht und Schatten sich niemals teilen
So wird das Schicksal uns ereilen

Licht und Schatten wir in uns tragen
Und keinem können wir entsagen
Zu Licht und Schatten wir uns bekennen
Niemand kann das jemals trennen

Reichtum und Not sind zwei Seiten einer Münze
Leben und Tod sind zwei Seiten einer Münze
Wahrheit und Schein sind zwei Seiten einer Münze
Wonne und Pein sind zwei Seiten einer Münze

BAD RELIGION

Los Angeles Is Burnin'

somewhere high in the desert near a curtain of a blue
the sane man skirts under the wind
but down here in the city of the lime lights
the fans of santa ana are witherin'
and you can�t deny that living is easy
if you never look behind the scenery
it's showtime for drag lines
and bedlam is dreamin' of rain

when the hills of los angeles are burnin'
palm trees are candles in the murder wind
so many lives on the breeze
even the stars are ill at ease
and los angeles is burnin'

this is not a test
of the emergency broadcast system
when malibu fires and radio towers
conspire to dance again
and I cannot believe the media Mecca
they're only trying to battle reality, catch it on prime time, story at nine
the whole world is goin' insane

when the hills of los angeles are burnin'
palm trees are candles in the murder wind
so many lives are on the breeze
even the stars are ill at ease
and los angeles is burnin'

a clock that reads
the end of days
shotgun roundabouts are bending in the haze

more a question than a curse
how could hell be any worse?

the flames are startin'
the cameras runnin'
so take warnin'

when the hills of los angeles are burnin
palm trees are candles in the murder wind
so many lives are on the breeze
even the stars are ill at ease
and los angeles is burnin'
 
Lovin' Spoonful
summer in the city



Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Cool town, ev'ning in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm weezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs gonna meet ya on the roof top

But the night it's a differnt world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on lets dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on lets dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And babe don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
