Music Lyrics:
“The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears”
“I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more”- Sound of music 1965
“The day the music died.”
“So bye-bye, miss american pie.”
“this’ll be the day that I die."
“And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock ’n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,”
“And a voice that came from you and me,”
“Do you recall what was revealed”
“Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil’s only friend.”
“I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died”
“I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.”
“But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.”
“And they were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."-Don Mclean, American Pie 1971
“Round and around this world you go
Spinning through the lives of the people you know
We all slow down
How you gonna keep on turning from day to day?
How you gonna keep from turning your life away?”
“No days you can borrow, no time you can buy.
No trust in tomorrow. It's a lie.”
“And I feel like I'm dippin' and divin'.
My sky shoes are spiked with lead heels.
I'm lost in this star car I'm drivin'.
But my air sole keeps pushin' big wheels.
My world is a constant confusion.
My mind is prepared to attack.
My past a persuasive illusion.
I'm watchin' the future it's black.
What do you know?
You know just what you perceive.
What can you show?
Nothing of what you believe.
And as you grow, each thread of life that you leave
Will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs
As you sell your soul and you sow your seeds
And you wound yourself and your loved one bleeds
And your habits grow, and your conscience feeds
On all that you thought you should be
I never thought this could happen to me.” –Don McLean, Dreidle 1972
“I cant seem to face up to the facts
Im tense and nervous and i
Cant relax
I cant sleep cause my beds on fire
Dont touch me Im a real live wire”
“Psycho killer
Quest que cest
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away” –Talking Heads, Psycho Killer 1977
“Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snap shot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me
Daddy what d'ya leave behind for me
All in all it was all just a brick in the wall
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall” –Pink Floyd, The Wall 1979
“Everyone you meet, the children in the street
are swayin' to the rhythm, there's somethin' movin' in them.
There's no place to hide, so, why even try?
Can't you hear it coming your way, it's here to stay.
Music in our walk, music when we talk.
It's really something magic, to lose it would be tragic.
Can't you feel the sound movin' through the ground?
Music makes the world go around.
You can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Take the cold from snow, tell the trees, don't grow,
tell the wind, don't blow, 'cause it's easier.
No, you can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Take the spark from love, make the rain fall up
'cause that's easier to do.
Movin' with the wind since the world began,
the beat is gonna getcha, beat is gonna getcha.
Music for the blues, for your dancin' shoes,
there's music in the way that we kiss, you can't resist.
Movin' through the trees, buzzin' with the bees,
the sound is gettin' louder, sound is gettin' louder.
Music when we play, when we kneel to pray.
There's music in the sound of the wind.
You can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Take the heat from flame, try not feeling pain,
though you try in vain it's much easier.
No, you can't stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Change the master plan, take the hope from man
'cause that's easier to do.
On the radio, on every TV show
for each and every reason, each and every season.
Music when we love for the moon above,
music for the show of life that never ends.
Music on a plane, music on a train,
sailing in the ocean, music in the motion.
Music in your car, at your local bar.
There's music when you look at a star.”-The Village People, You Can’t Stop The Music 1980
“Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the tv soundswitch it off
Youll see Im right some other time
Look now, look all around, theres no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth youre looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth
My head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if youre coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I cant see you” – Duran Duran, Planet Earth 1981
“If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh oh oh...
Voices in your body coming through on the radio,ho,ho... –Duran Duran, Union Of The Snake 1983
“Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai
You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modern man
I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive
I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control
I am the modern man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you
The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.
The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!”- Styxx, Mr. Roboto-1983
“Welcome to your life
Theres no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
Its my own design
Its my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
Theres a room where the light wont find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do Ill be right behind you
So glad weve almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I cant stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that youll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it ?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world”-Tears For Fears, Everybody Wants to Rule the World 1985
“We dont need no education.
We dont need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher, leave those kids alone.
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all its just another brick in the wall.
All in all youre just another brick in the wall.”-Pink Floyd, The Wall Part 2 1987
“I think about this world a lot and I cry (say, say, the light)
And I've seen the films and the eyes
But I'm in this kitchen (say, say, the light)
Everything is beautiful
And she is so beautiful (say, say, the light)
She is so young and old
I look at her and I see the beauty (say, say, the light)
Of the light of music
The voices talking somewhere in the house
Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep
With your teeth in your mouth
You are here with me
You are here with me
You have been here and you are everything”-REM, You Are Everything 1988
“Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name its like a little prayer
Im down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know Ill take you there
I hear your voice, its like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, oh God I think Im falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me
(chorus)
Like a child you whisper softly to me
Youre in control just like a child
Now Im dancing
Its like a dream, no end and no beginning
Youre here with me, its like a dream
Let the choir sing
(chorus x 2)
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, I’ll take you there
Its like a dream to me” – Madonna, Like a Prayer 1989
“I find you in the morning
After dreams of distant signs
You pour yourself over me
Like the sun through the blinds
You lift me up
And get me out
Keep me walking
But never shout
Hold the secret close
I hear you say” – Peer Murphy, Cuts You Up 1989
“Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and Bone
By the Telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith”- Depeche Mode, Personal Jesus 1989
“Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move
You just sit still
Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes
I'll take you to the highest mountain
To depth of the deepest sea
We won't need a map, believe me
Now let my body do the soothing(moving?)
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now” –Depeche Mode, World In My Eyes 1989
“I am livin' on Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static.
Static filling my attic from Channel Z
I don't know---I feel like something's happening
Something good is happening!
I feel love has got to come on, and I want it
Something big and lovely
I want the world to change for me! Gotta get away
Away from Z---Living on the edge of Z
Space junk---laser bombs---ozone holes
Better put up my umbrella!
Giant stacks blowin' smoke
Politicrits pushin' dope
All I know---we've got to change what's happening
Something good could happen
I feel light has got to come through---and I need it
Something big and lovely
I want the world to change for me---gotta get away---away from Z
Living on the edge of Z
Waste dumps---toxic fog---irradiate---and keep it fresh forever
Good old boys---tellin' lies
'Bout time---I got wise
Getting nothing but static
Static filling my attic from Channel Z
Gotta tune in---pico waves. Gotta tune out---PCB's
Gotta tune in---market crash. Gotta tune out---polar shift
Gotta tune in---narrow minds. Gotta tune out---space junk
Gotta tune in---bombs. Gotta turn out---atomic lasers falling from the sky
Where's my umbrella?
Gonna shoot that static down the drain
Gonna put that static out of my brain
Gonna put up my antennae. FREE!
Hamburger ads!---Pop up in my head---
On the edge of Aquarius---I'm living on the edge
Secret wars!---Take my money away!
I know I feel a change is happening---Something good will happen
I feel love is coming on strong, and I want it
We can make it happen
I want the world to change for me---gotta get away---away from Z
Living on the edge of---ZZZZZZZZ
Channel Z's all static all day forever---time to open your windows,
Let in better weather
Channel Z's all static all day forever--time to take this secret information and shove it in the shredder.” – B52s, Channel Z 1989
“I near a wind
Whistling air
Whispering in my ear
Boy mercury shootin' through every degree
Ooo girl dancin' down those dirty and dusty trails
Take it hip to hip rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Without anything but the love we feel
Skip the air-strip for the sunset
Ride the arrow for the target---one
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Chorus
Fly the great big sky
See the great big sea
Kick through continents
Bustin' boundaries
Take it hip to hip rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Chorus
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness” – B52s, Roam 1989
“She's in love with heaven above
Well i think she is religious
Eyes of gold and lips are bold
With a look is suspicious
Love with god his every world
Is all she ever wanted
Soul is clean and so serene
Her head it is haunted
Chorus:
I'll never find what it's
Worth in the universe
Confused like hell just who can tell
Confusion is a bad game
It's coming down, it's coming down
It's gonna burn up your brain
In love with god his every word
They tell you on the back seat
You're so serene, submit to me
And understand what will be”- Soup Dragons, Mother Universe 1990
“Seemingly lastless, don't mean
You can ask us
Pushing down the relative
Bringing out your higher self
Think of the fine times
Pushing down the better few
Instead of bringing out the clues
To what the world and everything anger to
Brace yourself with the grace of ease
I know this world ain't what it seems.” –EMF, Unbelieveable-1991
“The world is collapsing
Around our ears
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it
Yeah”
“I've everything to show
I've everything to hide
Look into my eyes, listen to the radio
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it
No, I can't hear it
Hey, hey, hey
Check it out
What are you saying
What are you playing
Who are you obeying
Day out day in?
Baby, baby, baby, baby
That stuff is driving me crazy
DJs communicate to the masses
Sex and violent classes
Now our children grow up prisoners
All their lives radio listeners”-REM, Radio Song 1991
“Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream” – REM, Losing My Religion 1991
“You say "Hold on to the reigns"
I say "Let them go tonight"
My brain waves
Confused between what is and ain't
She cries "Groundless and free"
.
Tired of the water
Tired of the wine
Tired of the future
Tired of time
Tired of the madness
Tired of the steel
Tired of the violence
Tired of me
.
Used steel
Used steel am I
What was pliable in love
Is now hard and crystallized
The intellect is fine
For counting money
And recalling times
That she cried,
"Groundless and free"
.
Hope is a letter that never arrives
Delivered by the postman of my fear”-Live, Tired Of Me 1991
“Im so happy cause today

“It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you...child

A man will beg Love...we shine like a

On the sheer face of love We're falling from
Like a fly on a wall the sky...tonight
It's no secret at all

It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success

All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

“Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
carry each other
carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you've got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life

He made a virus that would kill off all the swine

Try to show me how we're connected,

It's a crazy world, I know,
But I'm sticking round,

Where I can lay my head, but I can't stay,
There's nothing left for me to say,

About the state of the nation,
about the state of your mind,
about the states and capitalism...
[rhythm schism]
cares about the fate of your race,
who cares about the waste of your time?
[in fact its just another pin prick]
About the sick in the streets,
about the sick in your mind,
about the excuses for sickness...
[in this furnace]
burn about the city streets and
burn about their sleepy beds
teach them the ways of crazy poets
Turn around and buy yourself a gun
Yes, I said by yourself alone
let no one breathe, and no one see
the hate you love to show me
I don't fucking care
about the violence at home
I've got every reason to live alone
yes, but sometimes I love me mother...
[what's she got, not a lot!]
hero walks the beaten path,
his beaten ass an avalanche
of guilty witness every day
I don't fucking care
about the white man's problem,
progressive in his mind is fodder
it's time to teach the boys a lesson...
[rip em! sick em!]
death to all of those who oppose!
deal to all in 70's clothes!
death to those whove fallen
and they can't get off!” – Acumen, Gunlover 1998
“Mention of madness
I am quick to believe
That those you call crazy are my brothers and sisters
Voices alarming that you cannot hear
They are louder than mommy
They are nails in your brain
Bastions of blackness in veins of saliva
Sex with your sickness I'm happy all over
The truth isn't tragic
But it's so nice to listen
To the silence of truth
While I'm screaming inside
Noose around the neck
Tied with heartstrings
Drowned black water by the time
She begins to scream
Lessons learned by a child
Forgotten as he learns to trust
May god forgive me
For witnessing this crime!
Mention of madness

Is it all just a little bit of History Repeating?
“The word is about, there's something evolving,
whatever may come, the world keeps revolving
They say the next big thing is here,
that the revolution's near,
but to me it seems quite clear
that it's all just a little bit of history repeating
The newspaper shouts a new style is growing,
but it don't know if it's coming or going,
there is fashion, there is fad
some is good, some is bad
and the joke is rather sad,
that its all just a little bit of history repeating
- and I've seen it before
- and I'll see it again
- yes I've seen it before
- just little bits of history repeating
Some people don't dance, if they don't know who's singing,
why ask your head, it's your hips that are swinging
life's for us to enjoy
woman, man, girl and boy,
feel the pain, feel the joy
aside set the little bits of history repeating
- just little bits of history repeating
- and I've seen it before
- and I'll see it again
- yes I've seen it before
- just little bits of history repeating” Propellerheads, History Repeating, 1998
“It‘s my vision
A total one
Encompassing
The only one
A world complete
That‘s all my own
Exactly as
As it should be, oh
Chorus
I lost myself
I lost myself
You can‘t see how
Because I am just a cloud…a cloud.
Everything adds up to a truth
Maybe now, I can know me too
I have you now
Where you should be
You are mine now
But I lost me, I‘m a cloud
Chorus x 1
Resplendent dream it overtook me
I had no choice but build it
I made it all
I built it up
Up……
Chorus x 1” Fischerspooner, Cloud 2005
“I don‘t need to need you
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to say
Don‘t you wanna help me
Tell me what to do
Help me find a way
If I was not me
I would hate me too
Just like you do
I don‘t need to need you
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to say
It‘s all made worse by a simple scheme
You‘re slipping away from me
Can‘t decide sometimes if it‘s worth the point
The point is the struggle, insecurity
Hopefully, you make no mistake
If you learn from what you‘ve got to take
Good or bad, it‘s all gonna add up in the end but,
You can never win.
Chorus x 1
And it‘s the desperation to hold on to
Something that can‘t be held on to
So, Don‘t waste your time filling up my words
Don‘t tell me why, assume the worst.
Hopefully, you make no mistake
If you learn from what you‘ve got to take
Good or bad, it‘s all gonna add up in the end but,
You can never win.
Don‘t thank me,
Don‘t tell me how,
Don‘t break me down,
Don‘t help me make it,
I don‘t need to need you
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to say
Don‘t you wanna help me
Tell me what to do
Help me find a way” –Fischerspooner, Never Win 2005
“We need a war
We need a war to show‘em
We need a war to show‘em that we can
We need a war to show‘em that we can do it
Whenever we say we need a war…
If they mess with us
If we think they might mess with us
If we say they might mess with us
If we think we need a war, we need war
Chorus
We need a war,
If we think we need a war.
We need a war.
If we think we need a war.
A war to make us feel safe,
A war to make‘em feel sorry.
Whoever they are…..
If they mess with us
If we think they might mess with us
If we say they might mess with us
If we think we need a war, we need war
Chorus
Can we do it?
Sure we can.
We need a war.
We need a war.
We need a war.” – Fischerspooner, We Need A War 2005
“You can rent a space inside my mind, only till the price becomes too high” – She Wants Revenge, Red Flag And Long Nights 2006
“There is nothing to see here people keep moving on
Slowly their necks turn and then they're gone
No one cares when the show is done
Standing in line and its cold and you want to go
Remember a joke so you turn around
There is no one to listen so you laugh by yourself
[Chorus:]
I heard it's cold out, but her popsicle melts
She's in the bathroom, she pleasures herself
Says I'm a bad man, she's locking me out
It's cause of these things, it's cause of these things
Let make a fast plan, watch it burn to the ground
I try to whisper, so no one figures it out
I'm not a bad man, I'm just overwhelmed
It's cause of these things, it's cause of these things
The crowd on the street walks slowly, don't mind the rain
Lovers hold hands to numb the pain,
Gripping tightly to something that they will never own
And those by themselves by choice or by some reward
No mistakes only now you're bored
This is the time of your life but you just can't tell” - She Wants Revenge, These Things, 2006
“With her high heel against the wall
Kind of dancing, though not at all
She had stockings running up to her thighs
Snaps her fingers to keep the time
From the back of the room I saw her there
I said she wants to be alone and I shouldn't dare
But then she noticed me glance at her
I had no choice but to dance with her
[Chorus]
The lights that move sideways and up and down
The beat takes you over and spins you round
Our hearts steady-beating, the sweat turns to cold
We're slaves to the DJ and out of control
I watched her feet move, her hips they sway
Does a hair flip then starts to say
Oh, my God, it's my favorite song
I pull her close and she sings along
We can't slow down even if we tried
If the record keeps spinning so will I
She likes disco and tastes like a tear
Tells me don't stop dancing and she's pulling me near
[Chorus]
We've got nowhere to go, we've got nothing to prove
Instead of dancing alone, I should be dancing with you
This song is turning me on, the beat is doing me in
Or maybe it's only you, but either way, lets begin” - She Wants Revenge, Out Of Control, 2006
“This feels like another dream
Trapped underneath my own routines
I tried to lift it off of me
I give up, I give up
I just sit and bleed
I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
Stuck in the middle
And I'm paralyzed
Arms and legs in between
Caught inside a stupid dream
Look for her, but cannot see
I give up, I give up
There's no time to believe
I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
Stuck in the middle
And I'm paralyzed
I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
The only way to cope
Is to realize
This feels like another dream
Everyone grabbed ahold of me
Pulled from every side of me
I give up, I give up
There's nothing left of me
Arms and legs inbetween
Caught inside a stupid dream
Look for her, but cannot see
I give up, I give up
There's no time to believe
I'm paralyzed. I'm paralyzed
Stuck in the middle
And I'm paralyzed
I'm paralyzed. I'm paralyzed
The only way to cope
Is to realize
I'm paralyzed...
I'm paralyzed...
I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
Stuck in the middle
And I'm paralyzed
I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
The only way to cope
Is to realize
I'm paralyzed
Stuck in the middle and I'm paralyzed
I'm paralyzed
The only way to cope is to realize” Rock Kills Kid, Paralyzed 2006
“Even if I had a satellite
I could never reach your brain
even if I had a marshall stack
I couldn't amplify your name
Even if I had a time machine
I could never get it right
Sometimes there's just no possibility
Of having someone in your life
Every depressing song rings so true
Every depressing song rings so true
It'll never be the same without you
Even if I had a flamethrower
I could never start a fire
And if with a couple atom bombs
You won't be burning with desire
But if I could find my UFO
You know I'd fly so far away
And if I knew what else to do
I wouldn't sleep away the day
The bigger they are the harder they fall
But size never matters at the end of it all
The bigger they are the harder they fall
But nothing ever matters at the end of it all
Even if I had a satellite, I could never get it right” – Motion Sick, Satellite 2006
“It was the day after atonement when I set myself so free
It was the first time, the only time, I stopped feeling guilty
The skies flooded like a monument, seas dried up like a storm
And everyone I'd ever known was casting their remorse
Try to hold back, try to fall back
But my lips will be leaking
Try to roll back try to claw back
But my lips will be speaking
But to crush that try to crush that
But my lips will be shrieking
It was the day after atonement when I gave up honesty
It was the first time. the only time, I stopped feeling guilty
Starved this sickness to stay innocent,
Fed this dragon to keep warm
Microscoptic swirl, macroscoptic world,
Just a drone inside the Swarm
Try to hold back, try to fall back
But my lips will be leaking
Try to roll back try to claw back
But my lips will be speaking
But to crush that try to crush that
But my lips will be shrieking
It was the day after atonement when I set myself so free
It was the first time, the only time, I stopped feeling guilty
Please grant pardons, find parlance, stare in to the sun
no more fear, no more confidence, now the war,
now the war is won
Try to hold back, try to fall back
But my lips will be leaking
Try to roll back try to claw back
But to crush that try to crush that
But my lips will be shrieking” – Motion Sick, The Day After, 2006
“I'll line up in order or rank or of stature
If you'll paint me a picture a rainbow to hide my true colors
Don't ship me to front lines, don't ask me to bother
To lace up my boots or to wear something leather
Don't buy me some clothing to impress all the HRs
Don't tell me that it will look good on my CV
Don't put me up, clean me up, sell my bad habits
Sit me down to relax in front of a TV
'Cause I, I will not die for my country
So I'll put up a scarecrow to scare off my neighbors
And to have something for birds to light down upon
'Cause in school I learned not to talk to strangers
And that's why I'm scared now to meet anyone
So forget my name like a tied up and knotted string
It's just my way, you know it's how I'm grappling
With hurting through space in an orbit unending
Thinking I matter, yeah I know its pretending
But I, I will not die for my country
So I put up a colored cloth that represents borders
So the angel of death knows not to deport me
My neighbor's the enemy cause he can't afford one
They've slaughtered his family
Now they're taking his first born
You can scare me with smart bombs
And scare me with anthrax
and scare me with vague threats of foreign attacks
Mandate allegience and increase income tax
But I, I will not die for my country
No I, I will not die for my country
No I, I will not die for my country”- The Motion Sick, My Country 2006
“i know what i know
i know
on the car ride down
i hear it in my head real low
turn into the only thing i ever
turn into
hope i do
turn into you
i know what i know
well i know
that girl you found
keeps that kind of window closed
she'll turn into the only thing that ever
turn into
hope i do
turn into you
can't say why i kept this from you
my, those quiet eyes become you
leave it where it can't remind us
turn this all around behind us
oh, well i know
we'll all fall right in to keep you out
i'd like to tell you all about it
i know
what i know
i know
this is the last time around
i'll hear it in my head real low
turn into the only thing that ever knows
only thing that ever knows
i know what i know
well i know
ah, yes” - Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Turn Into 2006
