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

"Now dance, ****er, dance!
Man, he never had a chance!
And no one ever knew
It was really only you"

-- The offspring, "You're Gonna Go Far Kid"

I don't wanna stop, I don't wanna stop!

Come closer dear
That's all you have to do

I'll give you my prime time
I'm saving my prime time for you


"Prime Time"-- The Tubes

Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feeeeeeeeeel it now!

la da dee dow dow-- she's homeless!

and I miss you... like the deserts miss the rain...

won't you just tell babydaddy... I'm gonna need his love, why don't he give me his love, why don't he give me...!

Tell me who's that standing over by the record machine
She's looking like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute
To be a minute over seventeen

Meanwhile I was thinking
If its a slow song, we'll omit
If its a rocker, that'll get it
If she's good, she'll admit
Come on Queenie
Lets get with it

Go
Go
Go Little Queenie

"Little Queenie"
Chuck Berry

Headlights shine
Higway fades to black.
It's my last time
sitting in the back
of a long white
Cadillac.

Sometimes I blame it on a woman
the one that made my poor heart bleed.
Sometimes I blame it on the money.
Sometimes I blame it all on me.

Train whistle cries
lost on its own track.
I close my eyes
ain't never coming back
in a long white
Cadillac.

"Long White Cadillac"
Dave Alvin

I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
to give and die

To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
more deeply than the oceans,
more abundant than the tears
Of a world embracing every heartache

Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow

To love you - take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - broken on my knees

All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me

Did you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are
Because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart

I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need you now,
I owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
and wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak,
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
the sin-soaked heart and make it yours
take my world all apart
take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that I despise
speak the words I can't deny
watch the world I used to love
fall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
so steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray
take my world apart

"Worlds Apart" Jars of Clay

The village square stands quiet
The curfew still enforced
The streets are even clear of dogs and whores
Like some evil bird-of-prey
The scaffold spreads its wings
The people build their fires and bolt their doors

The mayor is giving dinner to the officers’ wives
His eldest son is learning how to fawn
The barrick block is hushed and tense
The soldiers drawing lots
Who will be the hangman in the dawn?

The lot falls on a young man
Who has served for but a year
His home is in the village close nearby
He shivers at the thought of what
He’s forced to do next day
He wonders who it is who has to die?

And the full moon casts a cold light
On the gloomy prison walls
The papist walks his cell
He cannot sleep
He hears the waiting gallows creaking
Just beyond that door
He prays for he has no more tears to weep

The day begins to break
A muffled drums begins to sound
A crowd begins to gather in the square
The presence of the hangman
In his terrifying mask
Weighs heavy on the minds of all those there
The colonel reads the sentence
Which the papist knows by heart:
He has failed to show alliegence to the king
His crime is thus with God himself
And in his name he must hang
The papist, head held high
Says not a thing

The jailer binds his hands
And puts his blindfold to his eyes
He leads him through the door before the crowd
The hangman sees his victim
And the blood drains from his face:
He sees his younger brother standing proud
The hangman tries to protest
But is ordered to proceed
His trembling hands begin to take the strain
His eyes are blind with streaming tears
And he cries for all to hear:

Forgive me God we hang him in thy name!
Forgive me God we hang him in thy name!
Forgive me God we hang him in thy name!
Oh please forgive me God we hang him in thy name!
Forgive me God we hang him in thy name!

The Strawbs, The Hangman and the Papist

We got married too young, too soon
No money down, no payments 'til June
Had you believin' I'd buy you the moon
Just like a li'l rich girl, born with a silver spoon

Now I'm so far in the red
All I can see is Blue
They can take away my diamond rings
Honey, it's you I hate to lose
Oh, I hate to lose you

When times get tough, money ain't enough
Baby, can you show me what you're really made of
Well, if that's the way love goes
You might as well foreclose on the house of love

I'm workin' my fingers to the bone, seven days a week
For a high-maintenance woman, that I can't afford to keep
She used to be so wonderful, used to be so sweet
How could my Cinderella turn into Super-Freak?

Just tell the repo man to come and get the Cadillac
This time I'm leavin', Baby, and I ain't comin' back

All your kissin' and your huggin' only comes now and then
The last time you loved me right, Girl, I can't remember when
I was a henpecked husband, 'til my patience wore thin
Came home a little early, and somebody else was peckin' my hen

From now on, I'm gonna' be a rollin' stone
I'm sick and tired of tryin' to make this house a home
Goin' once, goin' twice
Lock, stock, and barrel: It's cheap at twice the price!

-- John Lee Sanders, "Foreclose on the House of Love"

(Original is here , and so is the fantastic cover version by Texas' own Marica Ball. )

People get ready there's a ship comin
Get ready like a lover
I got a note from the heart of the darkness
The melody isn't over
Steady as steel, I want to take the wheel
'n drive you like a rock n roller
Freedom at Point Zero
'n rock n roll isn't over

One long pull to the top of the mountain now
One long pull and we're into the sky
So many miles I can't count 'em now
Oooh, let me fly -- to the sky

People get ready there's a ship comin
Get ready it's gonna be here soon
I feel a great wind sweepin through the valley
At the first light of the risin moon
Don't look back -- hold steady
Keep your eyes open we're almost ready
Like a Samurai on the edge of the sky
Cold steel in the afternoon

And its a hard world to try and get a piece of
It's a hard world for you and I
I'm goin upstream 'n hunt for a dream
It's right there for you and I
Up in the sky And it's gonna be
All-Right

Great light in the sky tonight
Oooh honey it's burning bright
Come and take me away tonight
It's All-Right

Oooh oooh oooh All-Right

Under every stone -- on every beach
Through every forest and all the trees in all the air
For all time and all space
In every land and every place
In the seas and beyond the sky
Gonna be All-Right

It's a hard world to try and get a piece of
It's a hard world for you and I
I'm goin upstream 'n go for a dream
Right there for you and I
Up in the sky
Just got to reach out and take it
It'll be All-Right

Take it -- It's gonna be All-Right

"Freedom at Point Zero," Jefferson Starship

How come you're always such a fussy young man
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raison Bran
Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan
So eat it, just eat it

Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate
So eat it

Don't you tell me you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh

Your table manners are some cryin' shame
You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it

You better listen, better do what you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it

I don't care if you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more spam
It doesn't matter it it's fresh or canned
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
If it's gettin' cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack
If you don't like it, you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord)
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it (oh no)
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it


"Eat It," Weird Al Yankovic

You don't need no love in
You don't need no bed pan
You don't need a horoscope or a microscope
The see the mess that you're in
If you open up your heart
You will know what I mean
We've been polluted so long
Now here's a way for you to get clean

By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free
The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see
Chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free
The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see

You don't need no passport
And you don't need no visas
You don't need to designate or to emigrate
Before you can see Jesus
If you open up your heart
You'll see he's right there
Always was and will be
He'll relieve you of your cares

By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free
The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see
Chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free
The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see

You don't need no church house
And you don't need no Temple
You don't need no rosary beads or them books to read
To see that you have fallen
If you open up your heart
You will know what I mean
We've been kept down so long
Someone's thinking that we're all green

And while the Pope owns 51% of General Motors
And the stock exchange is the only thing he's qualified to quote us
The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see
By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free

~Geo. Harrison

Because every day should be 7/4

I’m proud to be an American
I’m proud of the groovy things we’ve done
There’s television, free religion, rock ’n’ roll, standard oil,
Times square, Jimmy Darren, Corey Wells, and Smokey Bear,
Price reduction, Reconstruction, Peace Corps, and lots more
Culture that we got to lend

I’m proud to be an American
And I’m proud
Had a great time bein’ one
There’s your school and my school and both of us in high school
Surfboards, cigarettes, homework, Southern Comfort
Boy’s Dean was real mean
Made us keep our locker’s clean
Failed nearly every class
Ditchin’ was a gas

I’m proud
To be a young American
I’m proud, just think about it
All the far out things that we’ve begun
There’s revolution, Constitution, land, sea, and air pollution
Cold wars, hot wars, gas wars, and confrontutions
Constipation, consternation, open-hearted palpitations
Muscular Dystrophy

I’m proud to be an American
Because we got department stores
Full of cheap guitars
But when Sputnik plays ’em, you just go go go go

I’m proud to be an American
(we got two chickens in every garage!)
And I wish every other kid could be one
(in my country, the medium is the massage!)
’Cause it’s impossible to give
Equality and justice to inferior foreigners
Too jealous to trust us

Gimme your weak and your homeless
(How ’bout checkin’ the oil there, Fella?)

I’m proud to be an American

-- The Tubes, " Proud To Be An American "

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the Whole of the Moon

You were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels to reach
Too high too far too soon
You saw the Whole of the Moon

I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
You saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the Whole of the Moon

I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the Whole of the Moon

With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels to reach
Too high too far too soon
You saw the Whole of the Moon

The Whole of the Moon

Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags rags ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

You climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high too far too soon
You saw the Whole of the Moon

- The Waterboys, "The Whole of the Moon"

Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand
Black coffees not enough for me, I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along

Theres no time for metaphors cried the little pill to me
He said, life is a placebo masquerading as a simile*
Well, I knew that pill was lying
Too gregarious, too nice
But as he walked I had to sing this twice

Lie still, little bottle
Dont twist, it aint twistin time
With every move you make you just disintegrate my ever-troubled mind

Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand
Black coffees not enough for me, I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along

Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still
Lie still

- They Might Be Giants Lie Still, Little Bottle

You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate over my head
Then I set fire to our bed

My black eye casts no shadow
Your red eye sees no blame
Your slaps don't stick
Your kicks don't hit
So we remain the same
Blood sticks, sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit
A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none

I broke your jaw once before
I spilled your blood upon the floor
You broke my leg in return
So let's sit back and watch the bed burn
Love sticks, sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit
A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none
