Green Day - Time Of Your Life

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

(music break)

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
 
Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide

I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
til the landslide brought it down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, Ive been afraid of changing cause ive
Built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And Im getting older, too

Well, Ive been afraid of changing cause ive
Built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And Im getting older, too
I get older, too

I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
The landslide brought it down
The landslide brought it down

I only discovered yesterday that this song wasn't a Smashing Pumpkins' original, while watching Cold Case. It's funny how I can relate to the wikipedia article. The first time I heard it was on Alias. I immediately knew it was Billy Corgan who was singing it, and couldn't get it off my head. I also saw the two episodes of Cold Case in which it featured (set in 1994 and 1975). I never saw The Reunion though, but I would have if I knew this song was in one of the episodes...
 
Reamonn - Sometimes (love this song)

Words on her lips
Begin to slip
She’s loosing her grip
On herself
And when she wants more
Oh no, no
She can’t have more
Oh no, no
She feels like she’s holding back
a life that she deserves

She said Sometimes
You 're asking yourself why
You feel you can’t get by
You feel you 're crawling on your knees

A voice from inside
Oh no, no
Is telling her lies
Oh no, no
Her dreams come crashing down
Like a burning sky at night
No longer a child
You are the one
You can’t deny
What you have become
It can’t hurt you
But it can eat you up inside

She said sometimes
You 're asking yourself why
You feel you can’t get by
You feel you 're crawling on your knees

She said sometimes
You 're asking yourself why
You feel you can’t get by
You 're sick of begging, begging please

And now you stand up
And look them straight in the eyes
You 're not believing their lies
Your taking it straight from the heart
It’s time for a new start
Time for a new start
Cause if it’s not love well
It’s not enough
You deserve more yeah
More than what you’ve got
Inside a voice is screaming
Get off your knees
Get up

She screams
Sometimes
Sometimes their lies are their disguise
Sometimes the beautiful will cry
You 're reaching inside
And now you’re floating like a breeze
And saying goodbye
 
Like a Knife -- Secondhand Serenade

I dream a lot, I know you say
I've got to get away.
"The world is not yours for the taking"
Is all you ever say.
I know I'm not the best for you,
But promise that you'll stay.
'Cause if I watch you go,
You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasting away.

'Cause today, you walked out of my life.
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife.
I'm not living this life.

Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain.
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
These streets are filled with memories,
Both perfect and in pain.
And all I wanna do is love you,
But I'm the only one to blame.

'Cause today, you walked out of my life.
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife.
I'm not living this life.

But what do I know, if you're leaving.
All you did was stop the bleeding.
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever.
And these words, they have no meaning.
If we cannot find the feeling
That we held on to together,
Try your hardest to remember.

Stay with me,
Or watch me bleed.
I need you just to breathe.

'Cause today, you walked out of my life
(stay with me, or watch me bleed)
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(i need you just to breathe)
I'm not living this life.

:sad: So sad.
 
1. "The world is on fire,
and it's more than I can handle
Tap into the water
to try to bring my share.
Try to bring more,
more than I can handle.
Bring it to the table.
Bring what I am able."

-Sarah McLachlan, "Hold On"

2. "This is the book I've never read
These are the words I've never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears, the tears we shed
This is the fear, this is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel"

-Annie Lennox, "Why"
 
I would have to say "Times they are a changing"

"And don't criticize what you can't understand,
you sons and your daughters are beyond your command"
 
The Pass by RUSH

Proud swagger out of the schoolyard
Waiting for the world's applause
Rebel without a conscience
Martyr without a cause.

Static on your frequency
Electrical storm in your veins
Raging at unreachable glory
Straining at invisible chains.

And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Can't face life on a razor's edge
Nothing's what you thought it would be.

All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars.
Turn around and turn around and turn around
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me.

It's not as if this barricade
Blocks the only road
It's not as if you're all alone
In wanting to explode.

Someone set a bad example
Made surrender seem all right
The act of a noble warrior
Who lost the will to fight.

And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Done with life on a razor's edge
Nothing's what you thought it would be.

No hero in your tragedy
No daring in your escape
No salutes for your surrender
Nothing noble in your fate
Christ, what have you done?
 
Wake Up- The Arcade Fire

Somethin' filled up
my heart with nothin',
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.

Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing to
rust.

I guess we'll just have to adjust.

With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin' to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin’
With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am, go-go, where I am

You'd better look out below
 
Hi,

I like this song by Linkin' Park, New Divide.

New Divide
I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide

There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes across this new divide

In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
Across this new divide, across this new divide
 
Bullet With Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
 
Just one of the first few that came to mind.

Van Morrison - Into the mystic

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic

When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl...
 
"In the locust wind comes the rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
you plant the demon seed
you raise a flower of fire
see them burning crosses
see the flames higher and higher"

U2 - Bullet the Blue Sky
 
I just looked in the mirror
and things aren't looking so good
I am looking California
and feeling Minnesota

Soundgarden - Outshined
 
The Tourist - Radiohead
It barks at no one else but me
Like it's seen a ghost
I guess it seen the sparks a-flowing
No one else would know

Hey man slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down

Sometimes I get overcharged
That's when you see sparks
You ask me where the hell I'm going
At a thousand feet per second

Hey man slow down, slow down
Idiot slow down, slow down

Masters of War - Bob Dylan

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like its your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like judas' of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young peoples blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And Ill watch while your'e lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
til I'm sure that you're dead

and of course, wish you were here (Pink Floyd) (someone else had posted the lyrics)
 
I am the world that hides the universal secret of all time.
Destruction of the empty spaces is my one and only crime

Black Sabbath - A National Acrobat
