Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine random song lyrics: POST it if ya FEEl it!

I know how Judas felt
But he got paid.

- Robyn Hitchcock.

I'm a rocker, roller,
Right out of controller,
I'm a wheeler, dealer,
A wicked woman stealer,
I'm a cruiser, a bruiser,
A rock'n'roller man

AC/DC

I'm resentful, all the same
Someone's got to take the blame.
I know that this is vitriol,
no solution, spleen venting!
But I feel better having screamed,
Don't you?

Ignoreland, REM

Walking through the rooms in my head
I came across your image
You looked at me with that sweet smile and said
Something else else they won't let me repeat

I Don't Care, Shakespeare's Sister

Because, contradictions, will arrive at every step and turn
Because, complications, will give rise to new sets of rules
Perhaps, unaware, he let slip what should not be known
Resource, ever stretching, will become his veneer disguise
Disguise, when resumed, could attempt to take his place
Replies, when received, would shock him to find himself
But no

"But No", Colin Newman

When I look into your eyes
I stop thinking about myself
cuz it's all about you,
about you, baby...

- the twentytwo's

Tina went to the ladies room,
saw written on the wall
"If you'd like a very nice time
just give this number a call"
It was 606-0842!

-The B-52's

This is a song from under the floorboards
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit makes me an insect
I'll have you know I'm proud as hell of that fact

"Song From Under The Floorboards", Magazine

East bound and down
Loaded up and Truckin'

We gonna do what they say can't be done.

We got a long way to go
And a short time to get there.

I'm eastbound just watch ole Bandit run.

“And you can run in the sun havin’ fun with the one
that you really love
walkin’ the sand hand in hand with the boy that you met
on vacation
and on a warm summer night it’s alright when he says
‘Baby I love you’
Then boy oh boy you’re enjoyin’ a
Summerlove sensation”

--Bill Martin / Phil Coulter // “SUMMERLOVE SENSATION” (Bay City Rollers, 1974)

(whatever happened to “fun” music?)

If there's been a way to build it
There'll be a way to destroy it
Things are not all that out of control.

"Analogue Rock", Sterolab.

“I hear the flowers in the breeze
make conversation with the trees
Believe to leave reality behind me
With my comittments in a mess
My sleep is gone awaiting rest
In a world of fantasy you’ll find me

I’m just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Hear the flowers in the rain
Watching the garden grow
I’m just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain
Making it good”

--Roy Wood // “FLOWERS IN THE RAIN” (The Move, 1968)

Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all.

Playing solitaire 'til dawn,
with a deck of 51.

Smokin' cigarettes and watchin Captain Kangaroo.
Now don't tell me, there's nothing to do.

I'll never build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it
Baby don't believe it

- Build You Up, Nelly Furtado

You want to touch me?
Show me your hands.

No money man can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of


--Neneh Cherry, Buffalo Stance

I know you like to think
that your shit don't stink
but come a little closer baby
roses really smell like poo-poo
roses really smell like poo-poo

--Outkast, Roses

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career?
But, where are the clowns?
Please send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here!

-Steven Sondheim

If there ever was a reason to stop this group from doing more albums, this is it. I just don't get today's popular music.

It’s got more hooks than a tackle box , it’s got really loud guitars
It’s got a blasting cap in the fertilizer, got the secret anguish of the network stars
It’s anti-fur, it’s unplugged, it’s got an OK from the Pope
Got art nails and a Wonderbra, and dread lock blunt rolled Buddha dope
Got the head nod, the finger pistol, the nose up in your crack
Montel, and Geraldo, and the women who hate the men that hate them back

"Certifiable #1 Smash"-- Kevin Gilbert

We got a great big convoy
Rockin through the night
Yeah we got a great big convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight
C'mon and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin convoy 'cross the USA!
Convoy... (blaap blaap) Convoy!

(To be sung in the voice of Homer Simpson with belching accompanyment.)

DEAREST

As I stand here all alone,
shoulders shudder in my cold.
Hid my bruises, hid my secrets
in my heart for too long.
Well, I’m standing on my own.
Your house never was my home.
That was yesterday,
and memories don’t fade away.

There’s a picture on the wall,
Father’s arms around his daughter.
She pleads, “Father, Daddy, when will you be a man?”
Be a man. A man.

When you kicked me down the stairs,
to my haven underground.
Said I wasn’t worth
the dirt under your fingernails.
When you said you wanted more,
then you labeled me a whore.
And these days forget,
but nothing mutes the wound inside!

There’s a picture on the wall,
Father’s arms around his daughter.
Her eyes brim with tears,
but smile to hide the hate inside her heart.
There’s a picture on the wall,
Daddy’s arms around his Princess.
She pleads, “Daddy, go away!”
Away, away.
Dearest, Daddy’s gone away.
Take me away!

There’s a picture on the floor,
broken glass shards in my toes.
My blood stains the carpet,
my bloodstain’s a memory.
There’s a picture on the floor,
broken glass rings through my soul,
Dad, these scars won’t fade away!

*tee hee!* I rather like Outkast because they've got a sense of humour!


Quarter moon in a 10-cent town
Time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night I'm gonna make myself a name
Take a week of Sundays to try and explain

It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy from now on

-- Emmylou Harris, Easy From Now On

little charlotte shes as pretty as the angels when they sing
i just can't believe were out her on the front porch in the spring
just a swangin'

I don't care what my teachers say
Im gonna be a supermodel
And everyone will want to dress like me
Wait and see
When I'm a supermodel

I didn't eat yesterday
And I didn't eat today
And I won't eat tomorrow
Because I'm gonna be a supermodel!

I'm young, I'm hip
Oh so beautiful
I'm gonna be a supermodel!


Supermodel, Jill Sobule
