"I tried to walk together

But the night was growing dark

Thought you were beside me

But I reached and you were gone

Sometimes I hear you calling from some lost and distant shore

I hear you crying softly for the way it was before

 

Where are you now

Are you lost

Will I find you again

Are you alone

Are you afraid

Are you searching for me

Why did you go

I had to stay

Now I'm reaching for you

Will you wait

Will you wait

Will I see you again"

 

Hymn for the Missing by Red. Most beautiful lyrics I have ever heard.

 

You took it with you when you left

These scars are just a trace

Now it wanders lost wounded

This heart I have misplaced

 

Where did you go

Are you lost

Will I find you again

Are you alone

Are you afraid

Are you searching for me

Why did you go

I had to stay

Now I'm reaching for you

Will you wait

Will you wait

Will I see you again

Enter Shikari - Quelle Surprise <- The best British Post-Hardcore band, in my opinion.

 

Analysis of the human race in twenty-eleven AD

We got the technology to move forward

We got the knowledge and the means to build upstream

We got the technology to go faster

We got the passion and the talent to make this real

 

We're so f***ing adaptable, controvertible, ducking and weaving from the truth

If it adds weight to the content, tip my pockets, we'll sit and stagnate with banks and use rockets

To oversee that it's our bottom line that gets carried to the high seas.

Well quelle f***ing surprise.

 

(Oi!)

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything, for anything

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything, for anything

 

We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams

(Trying to take away our dreams)

We're aware they're trying to take away our means

(Trying to take away our means)

 

If you stand (If you stand) for nothing, you will fall for anything, for anything

If you stand (If you stand) for nothing, you will fall for anything, for anything

 

We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams

(Trying to take away our dreams)

We're aware they're trying to take away our means

(Trying to take away our means)

 

If you stand for nothing

If you stand for nothing

Well quelle f***ing surprise.

 

We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams

We're aware they're trying to take away our means

We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams

We're aware they're trying to take away our means

(Trying to take away our means)

 

WOAH!

You are not gonna take away our dreams

(You are not) (take away our)

You are not gonna take away our dreams

(You are not) (take away our)

You are not gonna take away our dreams

(You are not) (take away our)

You are not gonna take away our means

"I'll be your one-man-Disneyland."

 

 

 

From the Opening Number of the recently closed

Broadway original production of

"Catch me If You Can."

CatchMeIfYouCan-2011.jpg.fd838b09cefc35c40513b03762548d54.jpg

Great show I heard - but sadly a short life on Brdwy - from the same guys who scored HAIRSPRAY! Go - buy - enjoy.

Portal - Still Alive

 

This was a triumph.

I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

 

Aperture Science:

We do what we must because we can

For the good of all of us

except for the ones who are dead

 

But there's no sense crying over every mistake

You just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake

And the science gets done and you make a neat gun

For the people who are still alive

I'm not even angry

I'm being so sincere right now

Even though you broke my heart and killed me

And torn it pieces

And threw every piece into a fire

As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!

Now these points of data make a beautiful line

And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time

So I'm glad I got burned

Think of all the things we learned

For the people that are still alive

 

Go ahead and leave me

I think I prefer to stay inside

Maybe you'll find someone else to help you

Maybe Black Mesa

That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance

Anyway this cake is great, it's so delicious and moist

 

Look at me still talking, when there's science to do

When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you

I've experiments to run, there is research to be done

On the people who are still alive

 

And believe me I am still alive

I'm doing science and I'm still alive

I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive

While you are dying I'll be still alive

And when you're dead I'll be still alive

STILL ALIVE

still alive

I've been traveling for so long

So lost 'til I stumbled upon

Two roads in front of me

I had to take my time

 

To the right I could see a church

I took a step in that direction first

But to the left there was a watering hole where they were whiskey drunk

and now thats were I wanna pray!

My favorite song by my favorite artist: Freedom by Rage Against the Machine:

 

Solo, I'm a soloist on a solo list

All live, never on a floppy disk

Inka, inka, bottle of ink

Paintings of rebellion

Drawn up by the thoughts I think

 

It's set uplike a deck of cards

They're sending us to early graves

For all the diamonds

They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades

With poetry I paint the pictures that hit

More than the murals that fit

Don't turn away

Get in front of it

 

Chorus:

Brotha did ya frget my name

Did ya lose it on the wall

Playin' tic-tac-toe

 

Yo, check the diagonal

Three brothers gone

Come on

Doesn't that make it three in a row

Anger is a gift

 

Chorus

 

Yo, check the diagonal

Three million gone

Come on

'Cause ya know they're counting backwards to zero

 

Environment

The environment exceeding on the level

Of our unconsciousness

For example

What does the billboard say

Come and play, come and play

Forget about the movement

Anger is a gift

 

Freedom, freedom, yea right

On a collision course

I am a sex machine ready to reload

Like an atom bomb about to oh oh oh oh oh explode!

I'm burning through the sky yeah

Two hundred degrees that's why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit

I'm travelling at the speed of light

I wanna make a supersonic woman of you

This is the video:

These are the lyrics:

CHORUS

Nice guys finish last,

That's why I'll treat you like trash,

It's not what I really wanna do.

But, you only date bad guys so,

I'll give it my best try to,

Treat you the way you want me to.

 

VERSE 1

I never open a door,

or pull out a chair.

You can tell me how your day was

but I don't really care.

And if you ever get cold,

you'll just have to hack it,

Cause I'd be cold too

If I gave you my jacket.

Like WHOA, you ain't sittin up front,

Front is for the homies you can sit in the trunk.

I never answer my phone,

Whenever you call it

And when the waiter brings the bill

I never reach for my wallet.

 

CHORUS

 

VERSE 2

And Ima BEAT you!

At every competition.

Going out with the girls

You better get my permission.

Wait no, i take that back, you can't go,

House is on tonight

And that's my favorite show!

Do I look fat in this dress?

Hell yeah you do!

Wait lemme speak your language

Cows go Moo!

Mooo Moooo Mooo MOOOO!

 

CHORUS

 

BRIDGE

But behind the scenes she means the world to me.

Wanna tell her that she's beautiful, and show her that she's loved.

Hold her hand when she's scared, tell her how much I care...

But that won't win her heart BECAUSE....

 

Nice guys finish last...

All our times have come,

Here but now they're gone.

Seasons don't fear the reaper,

Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain...

We can be like they are.

Come on, baby... don't fear the reaper.

Baby, take my hand... don't fear the reaper.

We'll be able to fly... don't fear the reaper.

Baby, I'm your man...

 

(La la la la la

La la la la la)

 

Valentine is done,

Here but now they're gone.

Romeo and Juliet

Are together in eternity... Romeo and Juliet.

40,000 men and women everyday... Like Romeo and Juliet.

40,000 men and women everyday... Redefine happiness.

Another 40,000 coming everyday... We can be like they are.

Come on, baby... don't fear the reaper.

Baby, take my hand... don't fear the reaper.

We'll be able to fly... don't fear the reaper.

Baby, I'm your man...

 

(La la la la la

La la la la la)

 

Love of two is one,

Here but now they're gone.

Came the last night of sadness,

And it was clear she couldn't go on.

Then the door was open and the wind appeared,

The candles blew then disappeared,

The curtains flew then he appeared... saying don't be afraid,

Come on, baby... and she had no fear,

And she ran to him... then they started to fly.

They looked backward and said goodbye... she had become like they are.

She had taken his hand... she had become like they are.

Come on, baby... don't fear the reaper.

I feel fine, and I can smile

But I feel the anger coming

It's underneath, I don't know why

It's always overflowing

It's a constant fight, deep inside

And I wanna forget it

 

I confess, I'm always afraid

Always ashamed of what's inside me

I confess, I'm always afraid

Always ashamed of what's inside my head

 

I can breathe, and I can feel

But not the way I want to

I'm on the edge, I don't know how

I can escape this nightmare

 

I confess, I'm always afraid

Always ashamed of what's inside me

I confess, I'm always afraid

Always ashamed of what's inside my head

 

Wasting away is part of my instinct

I'll put away everything I hate

Take this away, help me escape

Take this away, I confess

My favorite lyrics currently:

 

A King and a Queen - Okkervil River

 

"If you want to see and be seen, then be seen. 

Your dress is dark red and your opening eyes are bright green. Make a scene,

 but don't lie on the bed, laid out like you're dead, because honey, you're murdering me.

 

 Be a little sheep learning who'll shear and who'll feed.

The hands come and they leave.

Be hands holding a knife. Be a being on two feet,

with his heart trembling, butchering for a king

he believes in though he's never seen.

 

 Be the princess in that stone tower, crying for that handsome butcher's plight

 (and, as some princess might, she still calls him a knight.) But the best thing for you would be queen, so be queen.

 You're all that I need. Though I know that it never can be, I'd be pleased

 to post your decrees, to fall at your knees,

 to name all your streets and to sit down and weep when you're carried back through them and set down to sleep,

 and to lie by your side for sublime centuries (until we crumble to dust when we're crushed by a single sunbeam)."

In a world where confusion is only an illusion

And fear itself, is just another

Weak-minded solution

In this generation with too much information

Instead of bonding together

We bring anger to the nation

My faith is the only thing I've got

And no one can take that from me

No one is gonna take that

Yes, no one can take that from me

I have just noticed that there is a swearing translator on this website.

 

Basically the whole of A Flash Flood of Colour, by Enter Shikari, lyrics I favourite but this one just stands out the most. I think it's the whole rant at the beginning.

 

Now I don't know about you but

 

I don't think...

The primary purpose of your life

Of my life, and the entirety of the human race

Is just to blindly consume to support a failing

Economy and a faulty system

For ever and ever

Until we run out of every resource

And have to resort to blowing each other up to

Ensure our own survival.

 

I don't think...

We're supposed to sit by idle us

While we continue to use a long outdated system

That produces war, poverty, collusion, corruption,

Ruins our environment and threatens every aspect

Of our health,

And does nothing but divide and segregate us.

 

I don't think...

How much military equipment we're selling

To other countries,

How many hyrdocarbons we're burning,

How much money is being printed and exchanged

Is a good measure of how healthy our society is.

 

But I do think...

I can speak for everyone when I say...

WE'RE SICK OF THIS $HIT.

 

Time to mobilise, time to open eyes

 

We are not a quiet pocket of resistance

This is real and we cannot afford to fail

Act with presistance

"I am the established order, respect me and fear me"

F*ck you, we have no respect

And when tomorrow comes

We're gonna stamp on your head!

 

"See if we keep them silent; then they'll resort to violence; and that's how we criminalise change."

 

Yabba dabba do one son we don't want your rules

Who you fooling? son we got all the tool

We need to build a whole new system

To correct these flaws

"Yeh like what?"

I've already listed them

"You're a communist!"

"You're a f*cking utopianist!"

There come the emotive labels

But their attempt just fails

 

'Cos man we are far out your comfort zone

We stop, think, begin to revive

We stop, think, begin to revive

We stop, we think, we begin to revive

Put the call out to the front line

Get the message out to the contact squad

Transmit emergency frequencies

 

The jigsaw starts to build

Piece by PIECE

Open their minds,

Transmit emergency frequencies

Watch me light up the sky

Light up the sky

Watch me light up the sky

Light up the sky

 

Hands held high, sweat dripping off me

Light it softly, got these fakers trying to stop me

This ain't a hobby, it's a way of life just like

Holyfield and Tyson, gloves on, fight night

Boom, here comes the hurricane, monsoon

Switched up, came to redecorate the room

My ears are ringing from hearing the same sound

So what now? All the walls just came down

 

I blaze the trail like

The race from taillights

Sound shaking the ground

Like earthquakes and hail might

Someday I'll die, but not tonight

Excuse me while I light up the sky

 

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Watch me light up the sky

Light up the sky

 

Game-time, ripping, mint-condition

Lights out, stopping all competition

My utmost to His highest, it gets no flyer

Uh-oh, we set the mainframe on fire

Boom, code-red, feel the lead from the pedal

I push to the metal, the dust never settles

And for five levels, kick up the bass and the treble

'Cause faith, that's a rebel, I can show you the devil

 

I blaze the trail like

The race from taillights

Sound shaking the ground

Like earthquakes and hail might

Someday I'll die, but not tonight

Excuse me while I light up the sky

 

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Watch me light up the sky

Light up the sky

 

Nowhere else have I seen

Such lions led by lambs

So if you're not afraid of it

Stand up and take my hand

(Light up the sky)

We got a battle up front, but beyond

That's the promised land

And when we all shout together

Man, believe me, they'll understand

 

Nowhere else have I seen

Such lions led by lambs

So if you're not afraid of it

Stand up and take my hand

(Watch me light up the sky)

We got a battle up front, but beyond

That's the promised land

And when we all shout together

Man, believe me, they'll understand

 

I blaze the trail like

The race from taillights

Sound shaking the ground

Like earthquakes and hail might

Someday I'll die, but not tonight

Excuse me while I light up the sky

 

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Watch me light up the sky

Light up the sky

 

Excuse me while I light up the sky

 

Light Up The Sky by Thousand Foot Krutch. Rap-rock at its best.

It's in the paper every day

I see it in the headlines and I feel so sick, yeah

Another life leaves this world (this world) so full of hate

But short

Short on compassion

Short on humanity

Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock,

"do we even have a chance?"

 

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human.

It's time to prove it.

 

This is a plea for peace (world peace)

To the oppressors of the world and to

To the leaders of nations, corporate profit takers,

to the everday citizen

Greed, envy, fear, hate-- the competition has to stop.

When you see someone down, now's the time to pick them up

Set our differences aside and never look back, no

 

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human

It's time to prove it.

 

Isn't everybody tired of the fighting? (hey, hey)

Isn't everybody tired of the killing? (hey, hey)

Isn't everybody tired of the dying? (hey, hey)

Isn't everybody tired of the hatred? (hey, hey)

Violence.. fighting... killing...dying.. aaaaaah!!

 

[excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech:]

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,

I still have a dream

we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,

black men and white men

Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join

hands and sing

"Free at last, free at last.

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."

 

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human

It's time to prove it.

 

We are all human

It's time to prove it.

We are all human...
