Styx - Come Sail Away

I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said
They said come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me

God Nose - The Enormous Room
^ click


One of Bob Dylan's "Internet Only" songs. I've had to decipher all the lyrics myself, there are a few I just couldn't get, so if anyone else wants
to download it using the link and possibly tell me what the hell he's saying, it would be appreciated (& it's an excellent song )


the paranormal 800 number
rings in the cemetary glade

mechanical cowboys do rope tricks
down at the penny arcace

the hidden caves are painted
with anasazi tableau

ginger rogers and fred astaire
are heading for Mexico

the maximillian's image
was projected on the moon

and all of this transpires in
the enormous room

-----

a flamboyant drifter's sleeping
in the elephant graveyard plot

lost boys and girls play tug-of-war
for what the other one has got

the lightbulb wears a leather jacket
the teacup is lined with fur

the contents of the funhouse
all pass by in a blur

tall one long dead in error????
written with a raven's plume

there's blood inside the inkwell in
the enormous room

-----

in ghost stories and the bible
people come back from the dead

the wind rattles the windows
the desert starts raining bread

the family drive-in is showing
the last supper in 3-D

a hundred-million without homes
the man said on TV

nevertheless, what's killing you
is what you consume

starting at the far end of
the enormous room

-----

kenneth rex roth is shouting
he wants to be paid

but his words get all drowned out
by the mothers parade

there's a hairy loss proclaiming
in front of city hall

his mind is gone but noone cares
if anyone else should fall

one day, you'll sell his beard for gold
right now he hears a crack of doom

emanating out from
the enormous room

-----

pandora and her sisters
live in an empty truck

skewered and illustrated
some of them are un????

the armies are at the borders
to stem the human tide

setting banners in the holy land
?????? genocide

the shadows of the control towers
forebodingly they loom

along the cold frontiers of
the enormous room

-----

the icarus imposter
he fashioned iron wings

his end was so predestined
for him the church bell rings

joan of arc dressed in armor
saw him hit the dust

"I always knew he'd wind up there"
says her voice like rust

while the premature burial
takes place on neptune

she's the only one still homesick for
the enormous room

-----

stagedoor johnny and his revolver
wants your autograph

he'll leave you with stigmata
attempting his last laugh

they'll take him into custody
while the reporters set up camp

they'll offer him a contract
his own altar and a lamp

soon enough he'll get his wish
his fame will be in bloom

he'll think he bought a ticket out
of the enormous room

-----

????? see the roman empire
all roads are leading there

while ceiling fans gently sway
a sword hung by hair

like some narcotic refrain
from an old-time tune

when seely brows with tongues of fire
wandered amid the ruins

oppenheimer became deaf
beneath a great mushroom

lighting up the threshhold of
the enormous room

-----

john smith and jehovah
are playing musical chairs

expecting the cessation of
the music of the spheres

adios! to the large mammals
they couldn't stand the pace

of saturday morning cartoons
archived in outerspace

the ice age or the fire next time
will sweep up many hebrews

till then there is no vacancy
in the enormous room

-----

the cosmopolitan is gloating
in a mississippi nighttime town

the lost body of dionysus
was found floating face down

you can hear the echos on beel street
after the ice wagon leaves

eternity just happens once
then ????? mona grieves

maybe one day the skies will part
and we'll rise up from the tomb

right now there's no exit from
the enormous room

I'm bored so I'm posting random lines from random people:

Placebo- The Bitter End
I'll see you at the bitter end.

Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore
Don't pull your crooked teeth, you'll be perfect just like Billy.

Fischerspooner - Tone Poem
Is of all places the most appropriate to illuminate

Atari Teenage Riot - Revolution Action!
What if the next person near you is taking the truth out of your hands?

Morrissey - I Am Hated For Loving
Anonymous call, a poison pen, a brick in the small of the back again

All the pretty queens and sluts are dancing

Running Wild - Treasure Island

Squire Trelawny and Dr. Livesay having asked me, Jim Hawkins, to tell
everybody the whole tale about the "Island",
Flint's treasure and Mr. Silver. Keeping nothing back but its position
and that only,
because the major part of the treasure has not been lifted yet.
I personally think we would never have begun this adventure and set
course with the "Hispaniola",
if we knew what would happen and that some of us would never return,
having lost their lives.
Sometimes the whole story haunts dreams and brings me the worst
nightmares I ever had,
That's when I hear the cries of the fallen, the waves pounding the rocks
on the coast and Captain Flint's raw voice screaming:
"Pieces of eight !, Pieces of eight ! Hahaha!"
And I tell you, no oxen and wain ropes will ever take me back to
"Treasure Island" !!!
Mr. Bones is fighting "black Dog"
He wants to split him to the chine
"Blind Pew" the bringer of the spot
Horse-hooves trampling his shine
We have the map to start our trip
The "Squire" has the ship and the sailors
"Long John" is the man with the grip
No one knows he will raid us
The yell of the slain, the waves on the rocks
Captain Flint's raising hell
He's calling my name to drive me insane
But I'll never return to
Treasure Island where the brave fell
A one-legged devil from the pit of hell
A greedy demon on his treasury
Cursed the island, oh, eternally
"Long John" is spreading his law
Hatching a death bringing plot
I show up in a conceal of war
What I heard in the barrel from this toad
The yell of the slain, the waves on the rocks
Captain Flint's raising hell
He's calling my name to drive me insane
But I'll never return to
Treasure Island where the brave fell
A one-legged devil from the pit of hell
A greedy demon on his treasury
Cursed the island, oh, eternally
We see the land, shining sand, but it can be our grave
I jump the boat, overload, trying to be brave
Burning sun, find "Ben Gunn", assassins claim the ship
I cut the rope, I try to cope to free it from "Hand's" Grip
Pulling row, cannon law, the jolly-boats last trip
Killing tried, stockade fight, "Silver's" villains quit
Abandonment, to "Silver's" hand, a cunning pact is made
Trick or treat, make scoundrels bleed, their dullness will be paid
[Solo]
I stumble to the stockade, the sweat drips from my brow
No one keeps a lookout, oh no! the rabble owns it now
"Silver" tries to shield me, the "Black spot" comes again
He throws the map onto the ground, he plays a tricky game
Pickax, rope and shovel, the dead-man marks the way
No chest, no gold, no silver, 2 Guineas is their pay
Musket cracks like thunder, the blood is running red
"Ben Gunn" kept the treasure, from beginning to the end
[Solo]
When we put back to the sea "Silver's" chains are doubly tight
"Long John" and his counterfeit key Sidle away into the night
The yell of the slain, the waves on the rocks
Captain Flint's raising hell
He's calling my name to drive me insane
But I'll never return to
Treasure Island where the brave fell
A one-legged devil from the pit of hell
A greedy demon on his treasury
Cursed the island, oh, eternally
Treasure Island where the brave fell
A one-legged devil from the pit of hell
A greedy demon on his treasury
Cursed the island, oh, eternally

Guilty/Blue

i never want to say the things that people say,
i never want to hear the things they gotta say,
i found everything i need,
i never wanted anymore than i can see,
i only want you to belive

if its wrong to tell the truth
what am i supposed to do?
if all i want to do is speak my mind.
if its wrong to do whats right
im prepared to testify
if loving you with all my hearts a crime
then im guilty.

i wanna give you, all the things you never had,
dont try to tell me, how we treat you isnt bad.
i need you back in my life,
i never wanted just to be the other guy
i never want to live a lie.

if its wrong to tell the truth.......

girl i followed my heart
followed the truth
right from the start
it led me to you
please dont leave me this way
im guilty now all i have to say

if its wrong to tell the truth.......

what am i supposed to do?
if all i wanna do is speak my mind
if its wrong to do whats right, then tell me about this feelign inside
if loving you with all my hearts a crime

im guilty

I post these lyrics in homage to my new wallpaper.

The Cure - Mint Car

The sun is up
I'm so happy I could scream!
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than here with you
It's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
I almost can't believe that it's for real

I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile
And a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again
I know we should

The sun is up
I'm so fizzy I could burst!
You wet through and me headfirst
Into this is perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Ow! It feels so big it almost hurts

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more
I know we should
Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time
I know that we should

Angels Brought Me Here... Guy Sebastian Australian Idol Winner...

It's been a long and winding journey
But I'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces
Walking back into the light
To the sunset of your glory
Where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling
When I look into your eyes

My dreams came true
When I found you
I found you, my miracle

If you could see what I see
That you're the answer to my prayers
And if you can feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here

Standing here before you
Feels like I've been born again
Every breath is your love
Every heartbeat speaks your name

My dreams came true
Right here in front of you
My miracle

If you could see what I see
You're the answer to my prayers
If you could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here

Brought me here to be with you
I'd be forever grateful (oh forever grateful)

My dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle

If you could see what I see
You're the answer to my prayers
If you could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here

If you could see what I see
You're the answer to my prayers
If you could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here

Wasting my time - Boomkat

I don’t think you understand
That what you’re doing is not so cool
You think it’s funny to mess with my mind
Don’t you

You know I like you so you just tease me
You give me just enough to hang on enough
When you’re just wasting my time
You’re simply wasting my time
So quit wasting my time

Do you hear me when I say
So let me ask you something
Do you think I’m pretty or don’t you
Do you wanna get with me or not and nowwww

Or are you just wasting my time
You’re simply wasting my time
So quit wasting my time
And what would you’ve got to say
Well things have got to change
Say this just isn’t right
I don’t wanna have to fight
And I think I’d better go
Cause this ain’t working out any more
And I’m sorry, sorry, sorry

Understand
That what you did
Was just not so cool
Baby, you’re just not that cool

grandaddy
the warming sun

In a dream
you were sittin there waitin by the door for me
and I got the opportunity
to experience
the experience once again

how it could
have
may
be
been.

but in real life
you're in another world
with another guy
who doesn't have to cheat
and never has to lie
and all that stuff I didn't get
comes so easy to him
he doesn't even have to try.

do you ever ask yourself
how it could
have
may
be
been?

I haven't been that bad
but I haven't been that good
overmisunderstood
oh I wish I really could
enjoy the warming sun
enjoy a warm someone
and end the need to hide
away alone inside

no I haven't been that bad
but I haven't been that good
overmisunderstood
oh I wish I really could
enjoy the warming sun
enjoy a warm someone
and end the need to hide
away alone inside

in a dream

you were sittin there waitin by the door for me


I said, hey. you. get outta my bog.
