Our favourite Meat/Jim lyrics [Archive]

Dunno if this has already been done, so if...:oops:

We were talking about our favourite songs, but now lets talk about the lyrics.
Doesnt have to be Jim lyrics but if it´s by Jim it doesnt have to be sung by Meat.

Some of my favourite lyrics are:
- You´ll have to pay for it later, if you dont get it when it´s going for free
(What I like on this is the double meaning of paying (giving money) if something is not for free, and then that if you dont use a chance it´ll be too late.)
- We´ll never be as young as we are right now
(That´s just so simple and nobody thinks about, but it´s the truth and very deep in sense if you think about)
- I saw you making love to my best friend (two of my best friends, a group of my best friends), so I looked him (them) right in his (their) eyes and I said...
(Shows perfectly Jim´s sense of humor:)))

It´s your turn8)

Edit: to the mods, maybe this belongs more to TT&BH, so please move it

Aaaaargh. Too hard.

The seconds go on forever, but the thirds and fourths are even better
I hate every bone in her body except mine
You were only killing time and it will kill you right back
It's an endless plan unfolding
We'll never be as young as we are right now

Oh, and the rest of them! :lol:

Far too many to mention.

However some of my current favourite lyrics:

From Did I say that:

(The bit at the end when the background singers sing this over Meat's Chorus is superb IMO):
This time I'm not letting go, this time
I'll have and I'll hold
This time I'm walking through fire
this time I'll feed your desire
This time I'll stand by your side, this
time I will be your pride
This time I'm not letting go, this time
I'll have and I'll hold
This time I'm walking through fire

From Cry to Heaven:
LOOKS LIKE ITS GONNA BE A DARK ONE TONIGHT!

(The Batman bit I find truly amazing is this):
And I see it all
I see it, all the devils are rising
As all the angels are starting to fall!

Maybe it's a curse!
Maybe it's a gift!
But I see it all!

(Those lyrics are just great and work so well if sung by the Batman character IMO)

Wow...way too many to mention...

1. The entire For Crying Out Loud
2. The entire Read 'Em and Weep
3. Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere
4. Objects in a rearview mirror may appear closer than they are
5. I know I will never be politically correct and I don't give a damn about my lack of etiquette
6. Wasted youth is better by far then a wise and productive old age
7.If you want my views of history,Then theres something you should know
The three men I admire mosta are Curly, Larry, Moe
Don't worry about the future, sooner or later its the past - if they say the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back
8. And I'll kill you if you don't come back
9. A Kiss is a terrible thing to waste
10.Well whatever you got and whoever it was, I guess you couldnt get it from me.

Oh my god...the list goes on and on...I can hold entire conversations just by quoting songs that Meat sings...

21 Jul 2006, 15:08

Some lines from it just wont quit are great too

It´s a stairway to heaven or a subway going down to the pits
(well I´m a Led Zeppelin fan :)))
Maybe I´m under a spell and it´s magic, maybe there´s a witchdoctor with an office in town

Can you get me a perscription for that one perfect touch

There are so very many... here are a few though.

From RR&D's.. you've been through the fires of hell, and I know you've got the scares (ashes) to prove it.

DIST.. I want to take you in the backseat now and slowly drive you home.:oops:

WAS.. Money ain't the power king, and a man can be most anything, where angels sing.

AIG.. chorus

FY.. entire song

And for my hubby.. last bit of PBTDBL.. It was long ago and far away, so much better than it is today. ;) LOL

21 Jul 2006, 19:46

There are far far too many to choose from! But I'll give it a go.

The "for the good of" lyrics in BFG
"maybe I'm lonely, that's all I'm qualified to be" - love the voice at this point!
The aforementioned lyrics from Graveyard Shift.
"and it's just my luck tonight I don't have anything to wear" - Ravishing. Everyone laughs at that!:lol:
"we got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn but everything we tried was right" - particularly the LATW version!

I can't think right now, it's hot, and my brain is mush!

21 Jul 2006, 19:55

The next line is much better IMO:
She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound

MeatGrl1

21 Jul 2006, 23:19

At the present time...

#I can't lie
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not,
No matter how I try
I'll never be able
To give you something,
Something that I just haven't got..#

Because work especially seem to judge me and assume that I'm something I'm not so I just feel like yelling this lyric at them.. It's just very appropriate right now.

22 Jul 2006, 00:32

Ah man... how could I forget...

Take me to a land where I won't have to stay.
Cant you hear the planet groaning like a broken down mahcine? Rusty with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens.
And we fear the end of days, from the cradle to the grave.
Nothing really rocks, and nothing really rolls, and nothing's ever worth the cost.

PanicLord

22 Jul 2006, 06:01

I love ALL of IGLHFBOU and REAW.

Dead Ringer is great too, but this bit is pure genius:

(boy:) You got the kind of legs that do more than walk
(girl:) I dont have to listen to your whimpering talk
(boy:) listen you got the kind of eyes that do more than see
(girl:) you got a lotta nerve to come on to me
(boy:) you got the kind of lips that do more than drink
(girl:) you got the kind of mind that does less than think

:lmao:

The seconds go on for ever, but the 3rd and the 4th ones are even better :lol:

From ARUWNPTG:
Oh, baby, Im a hunter in the dark of the forest
Ive been stalking you and tracking you downr
Cruising up and down the main drag all night long
We could be standing at the top of the world
Instead of sinking further down in the mud
You and me round about midnight
You and me round about midnight
Someones got to draw first
Draw first
Someones got to draw first blood
Someones got to draw first blood
Oooh I got to draw first blood
Oooh I got to draw first blood

BOOH:
Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothings ever worth the cost

ELTEE:
Who am i?
Why am I here?
Forget the questions someone get me another beer

And so many many more!

From the forthcoming BAT III's the future aint what it used to be

'It doesn't matter what they're thinking
It doesn't matter what they're thinking of me
It's always so cold
I'm to young to be old
The future ain't what it used to be'

FRom OITRVMMACTTA

'She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
Just like an angel rising up from a tomb'

FROM Wasted Youth

'Slowly I opened the door, creeping in the shadows
Right upto the foot of their bed
I raised the guitar high above my head
And just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down
upon the centre of the bed, my father woke up, screaming " Stop!"
"Wait a minute! Stop it boy! What do ya think you're doin'?
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!"
And I said: "God damn it daddy!
You know I love you, but you got a hell of a lot to learn about rock 'n roll"

What about from Jims Stark raving love:
Too much is never enough
short but cool :cool:

Space Monkey

23 Jul 2006, 14:11

Too much is never enough
I've always liked that.

My favourites:

- "Live a sinner before the gates of heaven I'll come crawling on back to you"
- entire second verse of Objects, especially "He was dangerous and drunk and defeated and corroded by failure and envy and hate"
- Also enjoy Jim's subtle-as-a-sledgehammer-cracking-a-nut references to erections; "Surf's up and so am I" and "I know you belong inside my aching heart. Can't you see my faded Levi's bursting apart?"
- "The truth is hard to swallow when you're choking on your pride" is a brilliant line
- "They hand you a pay cheque every week and steal a piece of your soul every day"
- "Every hero was once, every villian was once, just a boy with a bad attitude"

That gives me an idea (http://mlukfc.com/forums/showthread.php?p=237509#post237509)...

My favourite combination is Paradise...

"...I swore I would love you 'til the end of time....

I reckon the new favourite has got to be that verse...:

Come, come and cry
Cry high to heaven
Say a prayer and light a candle
Toll a bell
Come, come and cry
Cry unto heaven
And if your tears fall on deaf ears then
Go ahead and cry like hell

I really like the lyrics to the new song alive, especially:

The darkest night aint black enough,
to keep the morninglight from shining
The highest wall aint tall enough,
to keep the smallest man from climbing

Mick Loaf

21 Sep 2006, 22:49

And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating
Still beating
Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell

My all time favourite song in the world!

RadioMaster

09 Nov 2006, 20:35

wanted to post this for a long time now, cause I think that are probably some of the most poetic and deepest lyrics in musical history:

"And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
and objects in the rearview mirror may appear closer than they are"

geordieloaf

09 Nov 2006, 21:02

I can't stand to see it no more
The way you're living with a goddess
but you treat her like a slave.

you got your ass out of gear and your soul out of whack
go on and take all you're stuff don't even bother to pack
in every way i want you out of my life
But i'll kill you if you don't come back.

And the one's in my signature.

That's enough i could be there all day!

MeatGrl1

02 Dec 2006, 02:11

I can't stand to see it no more
The way your living with a goddess
But you treat her like a slave
And you can't hold her back anymore
She's like a dreamer in a dungeon or an an angel in a cave

And I'll be closer to you now than any other boy
So you know that what I'm saying is true
Your gonna break her up and tear her down and fade her away
And then there's no telling what I'm gonna do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do

But if you give me your girl
And then you give me your trust
And if you give me till the end of the night
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live

I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost but she'll be burning when the night is done
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost but she'll be burning when the night is done

You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us

This whole song is magical, the lyrics are amazing and very cleverly written.

~*~

Read 'em and weep
For the magic that our bodies had made
Read 'em and weep
For the blood that we lost
Running silent and deep
And all those secrets that we somehow betrayed
For whatever the cost

Read 'em and weep
For the memories still alive in the bed
Read 'em and weep
For the lies we believed
Running silent and deep
And all the things that can never be said

C'mon and look at me and Read 'em and weep
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep

Again stunnign lyrics and Meat delivers them so well, you get the raw emotion and the way it's delivered sends chills up your spine.

I'm not afraid to show you who I am
And I am not ashamed of my life
Though I've walked alone down this cold and soulless road
I've always felt your heat in my bones

With every step I rise and fall
With everything to gain I end up losing it all
When the darkness gets in
I scream out and your light sets me free

I'm not afraid of the past no more
I'm not afraid and I'm bad for good
I used to dance to the devil's beat
If I could bust into hell I would

I'm not afraid to shed all my skin
I'm not afraid of the faults you see
I'm tearing down these walls right now
They're comin' down 'cause I believe

Your love is blind, blind as a bat
The way that you're leading me home like that
Your love is blind, blind as bat

I'm not afraid when they kick me down
I'm not afraid when I start to bleed
I'm not afraid if I live or die
I'm not afraid 'cause I believe

Your love is blind, blind as a bat
The way that you're leading me home like that
Your love is blind, blind as bat

And I wish that I could give you something in return
For the precious time you wasted on the tears I've never earned
For reaching out to help me 'cross the bridges I have burned

And in the end you'll finally see
That, baby, I've done everything I possibly can
I do it again 'cause know you're everything that I need

I'm not afraid of the the truth no more
I'm not afraid of the lies I hid
I'm not afraid of the past of my sins
'Cause I paid for the wrongs I did

I'm not afraid of the things you know
I'm just a book for the world to read
My final words on the final page
Will be your name 'cause I believe

Your love is blind, blind as a bat
The way that you're leading me home like that
Your love is blind, blind as bat
Your heart is kind, mine's painted black
The way you forgive me and just take me back
Your love is blind, blind as bat

Your love is blind, blind as a bat
The way that you're leading me home like that
Your love is blind, blind as bat

Your heart is kind, mine's painted black
The way you forgive me and just take me back

I was nothing but a lonely all American boy
Looking out for something to do
And you were nothing but a lonely all American girl
But you were something like a dream come true
I was a varsety tackle and a hell of a block
And when I play my guitar I made the cannon's rock
But every Saturday night
I felt the fever grow
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go

So we lower the bar
'Cause they're waiting for us

And my body is burning like a naked wire

I'm gonna drown in the ocean in a bottomless sea
I want to give you what I'm hoping you'll be giving to me
And when the waves are pounding on the sand tonight
I want to take your hand and make it good and make it right
And now the sky is trembling and the moon is pale
We're on the edge of forever and we're never gonna fail, no

How hard, how hard, how hard do I gotta try?

Surf's up, surf's up, surf's up and so am I, surf's up and so am I

And as the dust clears, look in my eyes

Your heart is kind, mine's painted black

There are designated angels who just might save your soul

If that doesn't do it for you, go ahead and cry like hell (like the angel's arise version of this lyric better, though, 'if your tears fall on deaf ears')

When the screws are tightening and the tears are falling, I can hear her crying out to be saved,
And like a bolt of lightning I go answer the call,
And she's singing like a siren to me over the waves,

I never wanted to take away your lover
Until I heard her crying out to be saved
I always thought of you as one of my brothers
But she's singing like a siren to me over the waves
Singing like a siren to me over the waves
There ain't no holding me down

AWESOME! And the line "If you give me your girl and if you give me your trust and if you give me till the end of the night, I'm gonna love her for both of us" is brilliant.

MEAT LOAF FOR CRYING OUT LOUD I LOVE YOU

Elijah's way

20 Feb 2010, 22:42

Where time means nothing. No hustle. No one rushing. No wrong or wright. No day or night. No towns or no cities. There's no pain, no pity. Where hunger is no longer. And a good man just gets stronger. Where angels sing. Amazing, amazing, amazing song.

I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us - Dead Ringer

I can't stand to see it no more the way you're living with a
Goddess
But you treat her like a slave and you can't hold her back anymore
She's like a dreamer in a dungeon or an Angel in a cave

And I'll be closer to you now than any other boy
and you know what I'm saying is true you're gonna break her up
And tear her down and fade her away
And then there's no telling what I'm gonna do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do

But if you give me your girl and then you give me your trust
And if you give me till the end of the night-
I'm gonna love her for both of us

I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live

I'll let her shine like a jewell in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost but she'll be burning when the night is
done
I'll let her shine like a jewell in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost but she'll be burning when the night is
done

You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us

You can't hide anymore you had a chance and you blew it
And you'll never get it back and your holiness was never so pure
She needs a fire in the heart and not a stabbing in the back

And I've been closer to you now than any other boy
So you know what I'm saying is true you're gonna break her up
And tear her down and fade her away
And then there's no telling what I'm gonna do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do

But if you give me your girl and then you give me your trust
And if you give me till the end of the night -
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live
I'll let her shine like a jewell in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost but she'll be burning when the night is
done
I'll let her shine like a jewell in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost but she'll be burning when the night is
done
You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us

When the screws are tightnin' and the tears are falling
I can hear her crying out to be saved and like a bolt of lightning
I go answer the call but then
She's singing like a siren to me over the waves

I never wanted to take away your lover
Until I heard her cry out to be saved
I always thought of you as one of my brothers
But she's singing like a siren to me over the waves
Singing like a siren to me over the waves
There ain't no holding me down

I'll let her shine like a jewell in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost but she'll be burning when the night is
done
I'll let her shine like a jewell in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost but she'll be burning when the night is
done
You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us

I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna love her for both of us
Gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
Gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
Gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us

I just love the lyrics to this, their so powerful.

And my body is burnin' like a naked wire
I wanna turn on the juice
I wanna fall in the fire
I'm gonna drown in the ocean in a bottomless sea
I'm gonna give you all I'm hopin' you'll be givin' to me
And when the waves are poundin' on the sand tonight
I wanna take your hand and make it good and make it right
Wow the sky is trembling and the moon is pale
We're on the edge of forever and we're never gonna fail

How hard
How hard
How hard do I gotta try
(I want all of your love)
Surf's up
(I need it so bad)
Surf's up
(I need it so bad)
Surf's up and so am I
(I gotta give you some love)
Surf's up
And so am I

Then I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I've ever said...

Somebody bless all these girls that I never have met
But damn you and curse you
After all that you've done
You're the one girl I'll never forget

Somebody bless all these girls
And everything that they do
But damn me and curse me for still needing you...

I should have known that it was coming to this
But I must have been blind
I bet you've still got a trace of his love in your eyes
And you've still got his eyes on your mind...

It's there in my eyes
And coming straight from my heart
It's running silent and angry and deep

It's there in my eyes
And it's all I can say
Come on and look at me
And read 'em and weep

My faverate lines from meat and jim are ultermuttly the one that seem to sum my life up perfectly:

*'There used to be an easy way of living and there used to be every hope in the world' - Just won't quit,
*'With everything to gain I end up losing it all' -Blind as a bat,
*'I know that i will never be Politically correct and I don't give a damm about my lake of etticett'- Everying louder than every thing else,
*'I never know so many bad times could follow me so mercylessly'- The future ain't what it just to be

Oh dear these all seem to be unhappy lines, Soory for bring everyone down thay just seem to sum up my life.

Also love the following from DIMP:

Don't you worry, baby, everything'll be fine
We got nothing but the best and we got nothing but time
And there'll always be a time when they'll be waiting in line
To be dancing, dancing

and

Girl:
We can rock it really hard or we can roll it really slow
We can lift it really high or we can dip it really low
We can hold it in tight or we can let it all out
Or we can work up a sweat and really stomp it and shout
Let me pull you so close and then we'll break away fast
We'll be the best on the floor we got the cool and the flash
We'll make a dangerous turn but we'll come out of it fine
I know the best of the moves we'll get them right every time

and

And I don't ever want to be rescued, I don't ever want to be saved
I got a feeling that I'm gonna be alive forever
Dancing on the edge of a grave, dancing on the edge of a grave

but a lot of the rest of the song is just silly, but a great rock n roll tune nonetheless.

I think it's meant to be a bit silly- just like his pick up lines: :-)

Boy:
"You've got the kind of lips that do more than drink"

Girl:
"You've got the kind of mind that does less than think..." ;)

Agreed - but that part of Dead Ringer is awesome because it is funny wordplay, great rhyming, cool putdowns etc. DIMP just seems to stray a little far into comic territory for my liking. Just a personal thing though I guess.

I'm personally quite fond of the lyrics of We're Still The Children and Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young.

'Let the revels begin, let the fires be started, we're dancing for the restless and the broken hearted'

'We're still the children we were then...who's going to take us home?'

Love these two <3

Also, the entire 'Say a prayer' section of Braver Than We Are. Truly legendary :D

From the minute I turned and laid eyes on you
I had no eyes of my own I was blind to the world-
You were to good to be true but you were something to see-
So very young and alone and still I don't believe
The way you turned on me now where's the girl that I knew?
I gave you somewhere to live and then somebody to love
You gave me nothing but trouble- man, I was such a fool

You gave me nothing at all- now let me give it to you
You taught me how to be cruel- now let me try it on you

How do you abuse me - let me count the ways
How many hours in how many days
How does it amuse you - let me count the pain
How many rules breaking how many games

How do you abuse me - let me count the ways
How many hours in how many days
How does it amuse you - let me count the pain
How many rules breaking how many games

You got your ass out of gear and your soul out of whack
Go on and take all your stuff - don't even bother to pack
In every way I want you out of my life -
But I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back

In the pit of the night you used to pull me so close
And then you'd hold me so tight and in the wink of an eye
You used to give me it all and with a kiss in the darkness
You'd deliver the light

And in the pit of the night I hear you laughing so loud
I know you're laughing at me oh ain't it funny and sad
The way I fell for your lies the way I fell into love
And then begged to be free

You gave me nothing at all - now let me give it to you
You taught me how to be cruel - now let me try it on you

How do you abuse me - let me count the ways
How many hours in how many days
How does it amuse you - let me count the pain
How many rules breaking how many games

You got your ass out of gear and your soul out of whack
Go on and take all your stuff - don't even bother to pack
In every way I want you out of my life -
But I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back

Somebody bless all the girls in the sand on the beach
They're dreamin' of boys and just out of reach
Bless all the cheerleaders down on the track
They're glistening like diamonds with sweat on their backs

Bless all the girls in gangs on the street
They're looking for danger and they're holding their piece
Bless all the girls staying late after school
They're playing with fire and they're playing it cool

And bless all the shy girls who're learning to dance
They stare in the mirror and they conjure romance
Bless all the girls who are always alone
They kneel down in prayer and they wait up by the phone

Bless all the homecoming queens of the night
They're looking for magic in gymnasium lights
And bless all the girls who know what love is about
They try not to cry and then they try to put out

And bless all the homecoming queens of the night
They're looking for magic in gymnasium lights
And bless all the girls who know what love is about
They try not to cry and then they try to put out

Somebody bless all these girls that I never have met
But damn you and curse you after all that you've done
You're the one girl I'll never forget
You're the one girl I'll never forget

Somebody bless all these girls and everything that they do
But damn me and curse me for still needing you
And I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back

OOOO You got the kind of legs
That do more tan walk
I don't have to listen
To your whimpering talk
Listen you got the kind of eyes
That do more than see
You gotta lot of nerve
Coming on to me
You got the kind of lips
That do more than drink
You got the kind of mind
That does less than think
But since I'm feeling kinda lonely
And my defenses are low
Why don't we give it shot
And get ready to go
I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction
And I want to tell my Daddy that I'll be missing in action

I dreamed there was a magic song I played for the queen 'neath the golden throne/My heart flowed through my broken voice to her
The queen did smile and she did cry my fingers bled a thousand lives/A red-teared river flowed our lives between us
Her majesties tears and the pauper's blood an angels breath and the devil's touch/The song of madness madly crying to her
You're a wolf in a lamb's disguise/a cold lover with a warm invite/morning gonna carry us to our grave
Dream a dream in agony/sweetest dream you'll ever see/make my dream reality oh carry me/carry me to my grave/
She placed the blade within the king's throne and in mine did i place my own/with the lamb's blood we purchased our sin's pardon
The sky ripped open and the shadows bled the moon blew out and the stars burned red/the song of madness madly crying to her
On a night such as this/an angel's lips and the devil's kiss/morning gonna carry me to my grave
Dream a dream in agony/the sweetest dream you'll ever see/make my dream reality/carry me/carry me to my grave/oh carry me/carry me to my grave/
The song of madness madly crying to her
The song of madness shot like lightning through us
The song of madness madly crying to he
Madness
Madness
Madness
My god my queen just lie to me/make me believe that i am king/and by morning/
You're a wolf in a lamb's disguise/a cold lover with a warm invite/morning gonna carry us to our grave
Dream a dream in agony/sweetest dream you'll ever see/make my dream reality and carry me/oh carry me/carry me to my grave/carry me to my grave/carry me/carry me to my grave/

One of the best songs ever.

Wow, there's heaps, I could be here all day.

But I'll Never Stop Dreaming Of You Every Night Of My Life, No Way
I Would Do Anything For Love, But I Won't Do That

Good Girls Go To Heaven, Bad Girls Go Everywhere

And You Will Never See A Day I'll Ever Break Your Heart
You'll See The Sky Fall Down Before It Ever Gets That Far
I'll Show You Heaven Every Second That You're In My Arms
Baby I'm Crazy, But I'm Crazy About You

But If I Touch You Like This
And If You Kiss Me Like that
It Was So Long Ago
But It's All Coming Back To Me Now

She's Kinda Like A Rose
She'll Cut You On You're Thumb
She'll Kick You When Your Low
And F*ck You When She's Done

And I Shiver At The Thought Of You
I Can't Believe That You Love Me too
And We Quiver When We Touch
I Can't Believe I Love You So Much
And I Hate It When You Walk Away
I Know We Can't Go On This Way
But There's Magic When We Touch
I Can't Believe I Love You So Much

I've Got Steel On My fingers
Granite On My Breath
A Bottle In One Ear
And A spike In My chest
A Nickel In My Boot
And My Finger In A damn
I Hang Out With A Bunch Of Losers I Call My Friends

See The Sparks Fly When You're Standing By My Side
Every Step, Every Move, Everything I Do
Life Is Beautiful Because Of You

The Icy Cold Will Cut Us Like A Knife In The Dark
And We May Lose Everything In the Wind
But The Northern Lights Are Burning
And The're Giving Off Sparks
I Want To Wrap Myself Around You Like A Winter Skin

The Darkest Night Ain't Black Enough
To Keep The Morning Light From Shining
The Highest Wall Ain't Tall Enough
To Keep The Smallest Man From Climbing
The More That You Resist The Tide
The More It Pulls You In
The More You Hang On for Your Life

"Rock And Roll Hero" :
When the white hot lights cut thru the night
And the sound of the thunder starts roaring
That's when you know what you're savin' it for
And you're feeling like a rock 'n' roll hero

"Did I Say That" ;):cool: :
Did I say that?
Sometimes you know I over react
And what I say is not a matter of fact
I wish that I could take it all back

"Another Day" :
For me I think the hardest part
Is just watching while she falls apart
I try but we both know it's true
There ain't a damn thing I can do

"Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" :

Although Jim is the Ultimate Lyricist and I cant choose because I love them all, the one I find myself thinking about the most and singing the most is from Objects:

"She used her body just like a bandage,
She used my body just like a wound.
I'll never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now"

It's a lovely ending to a tragic song

"I treasure your love,
I never wanna lose it,
You've been through the fires of hell,
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it.

Remember everything that I've told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone, 'cause you can put on the 'phones,
And let the drummer telly your heart what to do."

Just some that come to mind at the moment:

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating
Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a Bat out of Hell

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no coup de ville
Hiding at the bottom of a crackerjack box

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
Paradise by the dashboard light

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time
Give me just another moment to see the light of the day
And take me to another land where I don't have to stay
And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

Now I think I'm gonna have to leave you
Because I'm feeling much too weak to share
And the pie, oh it's cut in too many pieces
The flavor that I crave is no longer there

If everything is permitted
If nothing ever is taboo
Then there is always something shattered
When there is something breaking through

Brother to brother
All the blood runs red
Don't roll over, don't play dead
We're all living on Razor's Edge

Can't you hear the planet groaning like a broken down machine
Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens
But you and I stand innocent
Baby, it's a brand new world
Gimmee the future with a modern girl

Your heart is trying to rock but it can barely beat at all
Your soul is trying to run but all your body does is crawl
You don't need any signal
You don't need any sign
Nothing's gonna stop you
Once you cross over the line

Father, my hands are shaking
I see the light that's breaking
Show me the way to set my soul free
I hope it rains on me
Let it rain on me

I don't want to live without love anymore
I just want to live my life
Love's gonna open up the door
Show me it's light again

After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on

There's desperation
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergent gets it out

Once upon a time was a backbeat
Once upon a time all the chords came to life
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night

Is this a blessing? Or is it a curse?
Does it get any better? Can it get any worse?
Will it go on forever? Or is it over tonight?
Does it come with the darkness? Does it bring out the light?
Is it richer than diamonds?
Or just a little cheaper than spit?
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit

Somewhere some girl is crazy
And some body's half out of his head
Somewhere there's just a moment
Where it all remains unsaid
Somewhere two hearts are pounding
And they don't care what's correct
Somewhere somebody's falling in love...

You can dance forever
You've got a fire in your feet
But will it ever be enough?
You know that it'll never be enough
You can fly and never land
And never need to sleep
But will it ever be enough?
You know that it'll never be enough

Just do it!

The final words on the final page
Will be your name cause I believe
Your love is blind
Blind as a Bat

Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the animals sing
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pig the butcher is king
In the land of the pig the butcher is king

Let your dreams out of their cages
Every passion and desire
Let your visions be outrageous
Set your fantasies on fire
Everything will be permitted
There'll be nothing left to fear
I've got the magic in your body
Your inhibitions disappear

Have you a heart that beats?
Have you a breath to breathe?
And have you veins that bleed?
Have you a brain that dreams?
Is it so hard to see
That we're all the same machine?
Don't we all live and die
