thaibebop Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 I don't believe I know that one Kayo. Who is it? Ah, TBP. That would be The Verve. AKA, Richard Ashcroft. PM me and, I will if I can send you some of this young mans amazing tunes. redrus Can I take you up on that redrus? You know my email Also wondering if anybody has any Lennon solo stuff, and any cool funky groove stuff like what LJ and Khall have been introducing me to. ´(PS: LJ, Redrus, Khall, for some reason my gmail will not send any music, even when within the attachment confines. Can´t figure it out. Maybe I´m thick, but it just spends 5 minutes trying to send and then returns an error message.) No, but I have Perfect Circle performing Imagine. Creepy!

lovejoy Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The Message - Grandmaster Flash Broken glass everywhere People pissing on the stairs, you know they just Don't care I can't take the smell, I can't take the noise Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice Rats in the front room, roaches in the back Junkie's in the alley with a baseball bat I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far Cause the man with the tow-truck repossessed my car Chorus: Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to loose my head It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder How I keep from going under Standing on the front stoop, hangin' out the window Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes Blow Crazy lady, livin' in a bag Eating out of garbage bins, used to be a fag-hag Search and test a tango, skips the life and then go To search a prince to see the last of senses Down at the peepshow, watching all the creeps So she can tell the stories to the girls back home She went to the city and got so so so ditty She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her Own Chorus: It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder How I keep from goin' under My brother's doing fast on my mother's t.v. Says she watches to much, is just not healthy All my children in the daytime, dallas at night Can't even see the game or the sugar ray fight Bill collectors they ring my phone And scare my wife when I'm not home Got a bum education, double-digit inflation Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike At the station Me on king kong standin' on my back Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac Midrange, migraine, cancered membrane Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I might Hijack a plane! Chorus: My son said daddy I don't wanna go to school Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a Fool And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be Cheaper If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper I dance to the beat, shuffle my feet Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps Cause it's all about money, ain't a ###### thing Funny You got to have a con in this land of milk and Honey They push that girl in front of a train Took her to a doctor, sowed the arm on again Stabbed that man, right in his heart Gave him a transplant before a brand new start I can't walk through the park, cause it's crazy After the dark Keep my hand on the gun, cause they got me on the Run I feel like an outlaw, broke my last cast jaw Hear them say you want some more, livin' on a Seesaw Chorus: A child was born, with no state of mind Blind to the ways of mankind God is smiling on you but he's frowning too Cause only God knows what you go through You grow in the ghetto, living second rate And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate The places you play and where you stay Looks like one great big alley way You'll admire all the number book takers Thugs, pimps, pushers and the big money makers Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens And you wanna grow up to be just like them, huh, Smugglers, scrambles, burglars, gamblers Pickpockets, peddlers and even plan-handlers You say I'm cool, I'm no fool But then you wind up dropping out of high school Now you're unemployed,all null'n' void Walking around like you're pretty boy floyd Turned stickup kid, look what you done did Got set up for a eight year bid Now your man is took and you're a may tag Spend the next two years as an undercover fag Being used and abused, and served like hel_l Till one day you was find hung dead in a cell It was plain to see that your life was lost You was cold and your body swung back and forth But now your eyes sing the sad sad song Of how you lived so fast and died so young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibebop Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Annie Lennox The Gift Darling, don't you understand I feel so ill at ease the room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe. Take this guilded cage of pain and set me free, take this overcoat of shame. It never did belong to me. It never did belong to me. I need to go outside I need to leave the smoke cause I can't go on living in this same sick joke. It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist now that you have given me the perfect gift. You have given me the gift. For we have fallen from our shelves to face the truth about ourselves and we have tumbled from our trees. Tumbled from our trees. And I can almost.... I can almost feel the rain falling. Don't you know it feels so good. So, let's go out into the rain again, just like we said we always would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrus Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Its the song as whole obviously but, the first 2 lines. Also if you've not heard it, the lyrics might not sound as bouncy and as happy as this song really is. Kinky Afro Lyrics Son, I'm 30 I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty And I don't have a decent bone in me What you get is just what you see yeah I see it so I take it freely And all the bad and ugly things i feed me I never help or give to the needy Come on and see me Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey I had to crucify some brother today And I don't dig what you gotta say So come on and say it Come on and tell me twice I said dad you're shabby You run around and groove like a baggy You're only here just out of habit Oh that's mine you might as well have it You take ten feet back and then stab it Spray it on and 'tag it So sack on me I can't stand the needy Get around here if you're asking you're feeling Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey I had to crucify somebody today And I don't dig what you gotta say So come on and say it Come on and tell me twice So sack all the needy I can't stand to leave it You come around here and you put both your feet in Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey I had to crucify somebody today And I don't dig what you gotta say So go on and say it Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey I had to crucify some brother today And I don't hear what you gotta say So come on and say it Come on and tell me twice Class. redrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibebop Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 That does sound like a fun song. As fun songs go I like this one. Living Colour Love rears It's Ugly Head I always thought I relationship was cool. You played the role of having sense, I always played the fool. Now something is different, I don't know the reason why. Whenever we separate I almost wanna cry. Oh no, please not that again. Love rears it's ugly head. And when I come home late you don't complain or call, so as a consequence I don't go out at all. My friends are frightened, they don't know what's going on. They thinkn you put a spell on me and now my mind is gone. Oh no, please not that again. Love rears it's ugly head. Love's not so bad they say, but you never know where love is gonna go. Does anybody really know? I'm standing at the alter as they play the wedding march. I'm in a black tuxedo with my collar full of starch. She looks as lovely as she's ever gonna get, I wake up from this nightmare in a pool of sweat! oh no, please not that again. Love rears it's ugly head. What you gonna do, What you gonna do when love comes and gets you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrus Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 TBB, I did not take that lyrically as being a fun song at all, send it to me please.... I don't know it so ........ Anyone who does not know Joy Division, please read these lyrics. ESP, the 2nd verse. Joy Division Love Will Tear Us Apart When routine bites hard, And ambitions are low, And resentment rides high, But emotions won't grow, And we're changing our ways, Taking different roads. Then love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side. Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry. Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives. But love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. You cry out in your sleep, All my failings exposed. And there's a taste in my mouth, As desperation takes hold. Just that something so good Just can't function no more. But love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. redrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you say you’re sorry, you strumpet, For being so untrue, you bag Well you can cry me a river, you cow, cry me a river, you bitch, I cried a river over you. You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head, you harlot While you never shed a tear, you nympho Remember? I remember all that you said, you jezebel Told me love was too plebeian, you pleb Told me you where thru’ with me, you trollop And now you say you love me, you tart Well just to prove you do, you hussy You can cry me a river, you cow, cry me a river, you bitch, I cried a river over, you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khall64au Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Nah.... Sorry Khall... I've been listening to that eva cassidy song *and that firsat post mortem disc of hers for over six years and hardly ever anymore, it gets worse and worse every time I hear it. Highly over-rated singer *albeit with some vocal talent) and highly capitalising little bastards whoever cashed in on her death in the name of good causes... Oh! Theres a surprise. Well......... I can listen to any Eva C. song til the cows come home. That's where u and I are different! But it just so happens that the mix I have on Limewire is totally funky... so it works for ME!

kayo Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) Fair enough... Ben Harper I'm kind of bored of listening to, but a lot of his songs are extremely well written. For example Excuse Me Mr. "Excuse Me Mr."Oh - excuse me Mr. Do you have the time, Or are you so important that it stands still for you? Excuse me Mr. Want you lend me your ear, Or are you not only blind but do you not hear? Excuse me Mr. but isn't that your oil in the sea, And the pollution in the air Mr., Whose could that be? So, excuse me Mr. But I'm a mister too. And you're givin' Mr. a bad name, Mr. like you. And, I'm taking the Mr. from out in front of your name, 'cause it's a Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame. It's a Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame. And I've seen enough, Oh - I've seen enough, I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much. Excuse me Mr. Can't you see the children dying? You say that you can't help them, Mr. you're not even trying. Excuse me Mr. Just take a look around. Oh, Mr. just look up and you will, You'll see it's coming down. Oh, excuse me Mr. but I'm, I'm a mister too. And you're givin' Mr. a bad name, Mr. like you. So, I'm taking the Mr. from out in front of your name, 'cause it's a Mr. like you that puts the rest of us to shame. it's a Mr. like you, puts the rest of us to shame. And I've seen enough, I've seen en..., I've seen en..., I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much. I've seen enough, Oh - I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much. 'cause Mr. when you're rattling on heaven's gate. By then it is too late. 'cause Mr. when you get there, They don't ask what you saved. All they'll want to know Mr. is what you gave. So, excuse me Mr. But I'm a mister too. And you're givin' Mr. a bad name, Mr. like... you. So, I'm taking the Mr. from out in front of your name, 'cause it's a Mr. like you puts the rest of us to shame. Mr. like you, puts the rest of us to shame. Oh... ...shame. Oh! And I've just sen that on his new album he does a cover of the Late Jeff Buckley's Stisfied Mind (written by Hayes/Rhodes). Beautiful song, extreme wisdom. "Satisfied Mind"How many times have you heard someone say "If I had his money I'd do things my way" But little they know that it's so hard to find One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind Once I was waiting in fortune and fame Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in life's game Suddenly it happened I lost every dime But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind When my life is over and my time has run out My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt But one thing is for certain when it comes my time I'll leave here for certain with a satisfied mind I got a satisfied mind Edited February 9, 2006 by kayo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
