Cornelis Vreeswijk - Jag Hade en Gång en Båt

Jag hade en gång en båt
Med segel och ruff och köl
Men det var för länge sen, så länge sen
Svara mig du
Var är den nu?
Jag bara undrar... Var är den nu?

Jag hade en gång en dröm
Jag trodde att den var sann
Så väcktes jag ur min sömn och drömmen försvann
Svara mig du
Var är den nu?
Jag bara undrar... Var är den nu?

Det fanns en gång en soldat
Han kysste sin mor farväl
Han sa till sin flicka; du, jag kommer igen
Svara mig du
Var är han nu?
Jag bara undrar... Var är han nu?

Det fanns en gång en stad
I parken där lekte barn
Så släppte man ner en bomb och staden försvann
Svara mig du
Var är den nu?
Jag bara undrar... Var är den nu?

Jag hade en gång en båt
Jag drömde en dröm en gång
Men det var för länge sen, så länge sen
Svara mig du
Var är dom nu?
Jag bara undrar... Var är dom nu?
Jag bara undrar... Var är dom nu?
Jag bara undrar... Var är dom nu?

Tip That Waitress. Loudon Wainwright III

She's been on her feet nearly half the damn night.
Bringing your beverage and your late night bite.
She remains cheerful when you're nasty and tight.
Makes change for a 50 in dim candle-light.
Ignoring the groping, hoping you might
Come across with a tip and sympathise with her plight.
So tip that waitress.

She's getting her Masters, supporting her mom.
Amidst the confusion she remains cool and calm.
She knows exits in case of a fire or bomb.
She knows all the words to the 23rd psalm.
She handles her tray with panache and aplomb.
Her brother's a quaker. Her dad was in 'Nam.
So tip that waitress.

Tip that waitress, she's been waitin' on you.
Skip the small change, slap down a dollar or two.

Her arches are aching. Her lower back's shot.
Her varicose vein hurts like hell when its hot.
Her uniform's too tight, tasteful its not.
she knows all the specials and there are not a lot.
The cook is on qualudes, the busboy deals pot.
If she had a real job she's quit on the spot.
So tip that waitress.

This plea for gratuity's gone on way to long.
There's time and a place where those things belong.
This stage ain't a soapbox, this is only a song.
To dwell on the matter much more would be wrong.
And people get by, she'll get along.
But I think she gets off...when I come on strong.
So tip that waitress.

Tip that waitress, she's been waitin' on you.
Skip the small change, slap down a fiver or two.

She's been on her feet nearly half the damn night.
Bringing your beverage and your late night bite.
She remains cheerful when you're nasty and tight.
Makes change for a 50 in dim candle-light.
Ignoring the groping, hoping you might
Come across with a tip and sympathise with her plight.
Tip that waitress.

Silverchair - Learn To Hate

I wanted to be friends with her too
So my relationship could be the same as yours
I hated everyone just like you
Hating you should be introduced as a new law

Take the time to learn to hate
Come and join the mass debate
Take the time, take the time
It's all uphill you've gotta climb

You betrayed all the trust I gave you
Now I need therapy to hate a little more
You cannot help me to forgive you
The drugs have given you
All kinds of different sores

As you pump drugs into your bloodstream
I sit observing in disgust
Hoping that you will finally come clean
So I don't have to use this gun

Manowar - The Crown And The Ring (Lament of The Kings)

From a battle I've come
To a battle I ride
Blazing up to the sky
Chains of fate
Hold a firey stride
I'll see you again when I die

High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride

Heroes await me
My enemies ride fast
Knowing not this ride's their last
Saddle my horse as I drink my last ale
Bow string and steel will prevail

High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride

Odin I await thee
Your true son am I
I hail you now as I die
I pledge you my sword and to no man I kneel
Ours is the kingdom of steel

High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride

Kingdom Come

See the white light
The light within
Be your own disciple
Fan the sparks of will
For all of us waiting
Our kingdom has come

Rays of power shinning
Rays of magic fall
On the golden voice that speaks within us all
For all of us waiting
Your kingdom will come

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Finished with my woman ’cause she couldn’t help me with my mind
People think I’m insane because I am browning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I’ll lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify

Can you help me thought you were my friend
Whoah yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can’t find
I can’t see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it’s too late

Lifehouse - Sick Cycle Carousel

If shame had a face
I think it would
Kind of look like mine
If it had a home
It would be my eyes

Would you believe me
If I said I am tired of this
Now here we go now
One more time

When will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know it won't stop
Till I step down
From this for good

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low
I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe
I tried to beat this

When will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know it won't stop
Till I step down
From this for good

I never thought
I'd end up here
I never thought
I'd be standing where I am
I guess I kind of thought
It would be easier than this
I guess I was wrong
Now one more time

When will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know it won't stop
Till I step down
From this for good

This is a sick cycle carousel
This is a sick cycle, yeah

Skyclad - On with their heads!


Here's just a few of the changes I'll make
when mankind appoints me king of Planet Earth
So pass me my crown (my scepter and gown)
Hear the first proclamation of Martin the I

Leaders who lied so that innocents died
pretending to cry, they beg for One's pardon
Protest? (well they might) - when imapaled on spikes
on the grounds that surround Buckingham palace garden

If there is a world left for the meek to inherit,
these bastards would bomb it the moment they get it
Bogged down in a mire - lost all sight of their goals
thought they gained the whole world - they've forsaken their souls

"On with their heads!", I'm the clown prince of fools
"if you don't get the joke it's your loss"
Love and laughter you see are the new currency
'cause greed's coinage is not worth a toss

Preachers who teach us that god loves his children
instruct us to pray - and then prey on our kids
They'll not squeal with glee as the answer to me
placed in coffins of offal - I'll anil down their lids

There's still plenty of poisonous fish in the sea
rich with more complexes than vitamine B
If trawling for assholes you'll net a fine catch
with skulls full of saw dust (well I've got the match&#33

"On with their heads!", hear my royal decree
"shut your mouth". "it could open your mind"
What a chance there would be if someday we could see
one-eyed man in this land of the blind

"On with their heads!" now my word is the law
and your ignorant bliss is high treason
when the "thought-police" call for you, they will have a ball
cause the wise don't get mad they get even

"On with their heads!", I'm the clown prince of fools
"if you don't get the joke it's your loss"
Love and laughter you see are the new currency
'cause greed's coinage is not worth a toss

Crack-pot patricians - fascist politicians
wheelers and dealers - big-shot money makers
Mass redundancy down the frawd factory
now notice has been served on all liberty-takers

Those still unaware that a new age must dawn,
shall wake with their necks on the block come the morn
On my ferry to Styx everyone pays the toll
it's time to rock the boat - empty heads start to roll

"On with their heads!", hear my royal decree
"shut your mouth". "it could open your mind"
What a chance there would be if someday we could see
one-eyed man in this land of the blind

"On with their heads!" now my word is the law
and your ignorant bliss is high treason
when the "thought-police" call for you, they will have a ball
cause the wise don't get mad they get even

Ugh I can't get these female vocals out of my head:

Song: Honeymoon
Artist: The Muffs
Album: Happy Birthday To Me

Anytime, anyplace
Yeah it's nice to see your face
And it's true that I still want you
In the most obnoxious way

Honeymoon
Honeymoon
Honeymoon
Yeah

And I know what I feel
It'll do I do believe
And I know that it's your power
That'll be the end of me

Going round and round the bend
I fear the end of me
Feeling like a twisted clown
I guess I'll wait and see

Sevendust - Licking Cream

Corrupt my hope
In joyous Hell
Between the lines
Lick cream that smells

I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(Crawling down your spine to make you stay)
I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(Covering your eyes I'll make you pay)

Beyond the high
Lies burning eyes
Crashed down to soil
Fucked up and coiled

I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(Crawling down your spine to make you stay)
I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(Covering your eyes I'll make you pay)

Too beautiful
Too beautiful

You want to feel it
But you can't reveal that
You conceived the meaning
And caress the demon
All those callous eyes
How they infect your world
So you pretend to reason
But you've lost your soul

I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(Crawling down your spine to make you stay)
I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(Covering your eyes I'll make you pay)

You shouldn't be so beautiful in my eyes
(Crawling down your spine to make you stay)
I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(Covering your eyes I'll make you pay)

Too beautiful
Too beautiful
Too beautiful
Too beautiful

Too beautiful
Too beautiful
Too beautiful
Too beautiful
