The lyrics "It's an eminence front" come to mind.

[Hoyt]

In the clearing stands the boxer, and a fighter by his trade.
And he carries a reminder of every glove that laid him down...
or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
"I am leaving! I am leaving" but the fighter still remains.

-Paul Simon, "The Boxer"

[EverBlue]

Tweeter and the Monkeyman were hard up for cash,
they stayed up all night, selling cocaine and hash,
to an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan,
for reasons unexplained, she loved the Monkeyman.

Artist: The Andrews Sisters Lyrics
Song: Bei Mir Bist du Schoen Lyrics


Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
Until I first met you I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me

You're really swell, I have to admit, you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've wracked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me

Bei mir bist du schoen, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schoen, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say bella, bella, even say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schoen
So kiss me, and say you understand

Bei mir bist du schoen
You've heard it all before, but let me try to explain
Bei mir bist du schoen means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schoen
Is such an old refrain, and yet I should explain
It means I am begging for your hand

I could say bella, bella, even say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I could say bella, bella, even say wunderbar
Each language only helps be tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schoen
So kiss me, and say that you will understand

My life in a nutshell:


Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don’t help them to bury the light
Don’t give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I’m coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
Always doing what you’re told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don’t tell me there’s no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

Ryan Adams- Magnolia Mountain

I want to go to Magnolia Mountain
And lay my weary head down
Down on the rocks
On the mountain my savior made
Steady my soul and ease my worry
Hold me when I rattle like a hummingbird hummin'
Tie me to the rocks on the mountain my savior made

Lie to me
Sing me a song
Sing me a song until the morning comes
If the morning comes, will you lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
Till I'm heavy like the rocks on the riverbed
That my savior made

I want to be the bluebird singing
Singing to the roses in her yard
The roses in her yard her father grew for her
It's been raining that Tennessee honey
So long I got too heavy to fly
Ain't no bluebird ever gets too heavy to sing

Lie to me
Sing me a song
Sing me a song until the morning comes
And if the morning don't come, will you lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
Till I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed
That my savior made

We burned the cotton fields down in the valley
And ended up with nothing but scars
The scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war
But there ain't nothing but the truth up on the Magnolia Mountain
Where nobody ever dies
Steady your soul and ease your worry
They got a room for you

Lie to me like I lie to you
Calm me down until the morning comes
And if the morning don't come
Lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
All heavy like the rocks in the riverbed
That my savior made
For us

[zehly]

But I guess doesn't matter anymore...
In a new york minute. OooOOhhh,
Everything can change..

[Avari Zi]

I know I should get next to you
You got a look that made me think you’re cool
But it’s just sexual attraction
Not something real
So I’d rather keep whackin
Why bother
It’s gonna hurt me
It’s gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won’t happen to me anymore
I’ve known a lotta girls before
What’s the harm in knowing one more?
Maybe we could even get together
Maybe you could break my heart next summer

It’s a crying shame
I’m all alone
Not with you - nor her - nor anyone
Won’t you knock me on my head
Crack it open let me outta here

Why bother - it’s gonna hurt me

BEST SONG EVER!!!! ALICE COOPER-SCHOOLS OUT!!!!
Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Well we got no class
And we got no principles (principals)
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

School's out for summer
School's out forever
My school's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Out for summer
Out 'til fall
We might not come back at all

School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely

The Crystal Method-"Born too slow"

just like seventies goofballs
he's waiting on last calls
well listen to method man
'cause if you leave on the last line
don't leave on the ground kind
born just a little too slow
just a little too slow

oh, your lives are more than two
just a little too

'cause if ya picture the wrong kind
you'll know you'll be turnin' blind
got outta your head
bangin' tail just the wrong way
you'll know that a turnin' grey
i'm just a little too slow
oh, your lives are more than two

your lives are more than two
just a little too
oh, your your life's a born in two
just a little too slow
'cause if you leave on the last line
don't leave on the ground kind
well listen to method man
cause if you leave him callin'

your shot off and bum and go
born just a little too

Smoke Two Joints

"Sublime"

she was living in a single room with three other individuals.
One of them was a male and the other two, well, the other two were females.
God only know what they were up to in there.
And furthermore susan, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them
Habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes... reefers)

I smoke two joints in the morning.
I smoke two joints at night.
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more

Smoked cigarettes ’til the day she died
Toke a big spliff of some good sensimillia
Smoked cigarettes ’til the day she died
Toke a big spliff of some good sensamill..."
"easy-e were ya ever caught slippin’? " "hell no!"

Daddy he once told me "son you be hard workin’ man"
And momma she once told me "son you do the best you can"
But, then one day I met a man who came to me and said
"hard work good, and hard work fine but first take care of head"

Whoa, rock me tonight,
Whoa-oh, jah sake,
Whoa-ohh

Action Radius - Junkie XL

I used to crystal up my dreams as a teen in my bedroom scene,
playin' the poser,
(...)
fanatic like L.A. locusts (?),
my quest,
tempestious,
euphonimous,
plannin' bombing scipts,
turnin' the chips,
flex statuesque,
make record sales spread around like acne,
takin' over like the hover
uncanny abilities rocking you whigpiece,
days of playing air guitar,
now your staring so far,
at crowds,
open and scoping to a superstar.

chorus:
BUILT ME UP TO DESTROY AGAIN,
YOU HEALED ME ONCE FROM THE VOID AGAIN,
BEYOND LIMITS IS MY ACTION RADIUS
NEED YOUR LOVE TO FEEL THE POISE AND STAND

Between scylia and charybdis,
boredom versus debris,
daily routines make moods vary like parkingmeters,
feeling hollow like empty bottles,
in pieces like jigsaw puzzles,
lack of purpose,
like winos in disillusionment guzzle,
when problems operate like vortex on brain cortex,
music could be more sex than porno flicks with chicks can pack,
discontinuity,
audience see is attraction like a magnet to mic and amp it,
constantly...

(chorus)

...HEY HELLO...

Last city with the baddest ditties got the crowds giddy,
this kitty got with me,
swivvy and drippy,
at the after party,
in any land i'm getting more grace than presley,
from legions bigger than hooligans from chelsea,
my voice is considered golden like my dame shirley bassey,
my doses attack like tuberculosis from here to tallahssee,
adrenaline got me spinning in bed reminiscin' at the marriot,
never end the night period.

Multiple Spouse Wounds

"The Mars Volta"

No there’s no light, in the darkest
Of your furthest reaches
No there’s no light, no there’s no time
You ain’t got nothing, your life was just a lie.

Red Hot Chili Peppers-Scar tissue

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause
With the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

Push me up against the wall
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Fallin' all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view...

Blood loss in a bathroom stall
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave good-bye to ma and pa 'cause
With the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl
Autumn's sweet we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view...

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause
With the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view...
