Title:Perfect
Artist:Alanis Morisette
Lyrics:
Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face
Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder
How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet
Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud
I'll live for you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem ...... why are you crying
Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect

Title:What It's Like
Artist:Everlast
Lyrics:
We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange
He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes
"Get a job you *BLEEP*ing slob," is all he replies
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues

Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll
I'm the man you've been dreaming of."
But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls."
And then she heads for the clinic and
She gets some static walking through the door
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner
And they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...

I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the downside of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
And smoked the finest green
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
before i broke their heart
You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max
who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late
he liked to get *BLEEP*-faced and keep the pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some *BLEEP*, and wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
You know it comes that way
at least that's what they say when you play the game
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose

Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...to have to lose

Title:Alter Mann (Old Man) English Lyrics
Artist:Rammstein
Lyrics:
He waits on the midday's wind
the wave comes and lies down wearily
with a fan every day
the old one makes the water smooth

I throw the stone for fun
the water moves in circles
the old one looks sadly at me
and swept it smooth again

In the white sand, the old man
trembling, smokes his pipe
only the water and I know
why he needs this fan

The idea sleeps like a volcano
hesitating, I asked him then
his head bent, it seemed he slept
he said before he died

The water shall be your mirror
if it is smooth you will see
how many fairy tales remain for you
and you will plead for your redemption

The fan pressed against his body
the hand stiffens with rigor mortis
they had to break his fingers
the fan remains back in the sand

I call the old one every day
he would like to redeem me
I remain back in the midday's wind
and I can read in the fan

The water shall be your mirror
if it is smooth you will see
how many fairy tales remain for you
and you will plead for your redemption

Do You Realize?
album: yoshimi battles the pink robots
submitted by: m. burgess
Title:
Artist: The Flaming Lips
Lyrics:

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize that everyone you know
Someday will die?

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

Title: The Reflecting God
Artist: Marilyn Manson
Lyrics:

Your world is an ashtray.
We burn and coil like cigarettes,
the more you cry your ashes turn to mud.

It's the nature of the leeches.
The virgin's feeling cheated.
You've only spent a second of your life.

My world is unaffected, there is an exit here...
I say it is and then it's true.
There is a dream inside a dream,
I'm wide awake the more I sleep.
You'll understand when I'm dead...

I went to God just to see,
and I was looking at me.
Saw heaven and hell were lies...
When I'm god everyone dies.

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller.
Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?
One shot and the world gets smaller.

Let's jump upon the sharp swords,
cut away our smiles.
Without the threat of death,
there's no reason to live at all...

My world is unaffected, there is an exit here...
I say it is and then it's true.
There is a dream inside a dream,
I'm wide awake the more I sleep.
You'll understand when I'm dead...

I went to God just to see,
and I was looking at me.
Saw heaven and hell were lies...
When I'm god everyone dies.

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller.
Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?
One shot and the world gets smaller.

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller.
Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!
Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!

Each thing I show you is a piece of my death.

No salvation. No forgiveness.
No salvation. No forgiveness!
No salvation. No forgiveness.
No salvation. No forgiveness!
No salvation. No forgiveness.
No salvation. No forgiveness.
This is beyond your experience.
No salvation. No forgiveness.
No salvation. No forgiveness.
Forgiveness! Forgiveness! Forgiveness! Forgiveness!
Forgiveness! Forgiveness! Forgiveness! Forgiveness!
No salvation. No forgiveness.

I went to God just to see,
and I was looking at me.
Saw heaven and hell were lies...
When I'm god everyone dies.

Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller.
Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller.
Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller.
Scar, scar. Can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller.

Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!
Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!
Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!
Shoot, shoot, shoot mother*BLEEP*er!

Title: Long hard road Out of Hell
Artist: Marilyn Manson
Lyrics:
I want to fly into your sun.
Need faith to make me numb.
Live like a teenage christ.
I'm a saint, got a date with suicide.
Oh Mary, Mary. To be this young is oh so scary.
Mary, Mary. To be this young I'm oh so scared.

I wanna live, I wanna love,
But its a long hard road out of Hell.
I wanna live, I wanna love,
But its a long hard road, out of Hell.

You never said forever, could ever hurt like this.
You never said forever, could ever hurt like this.

Spin my way out of Hell.
There's nothing left this soul to sell.
I live fast, I die you too.
How many times to do this for you?
How many times to do this for you?

Mary, Mary. To be this young I'm oh so scared.

I wanna live, I wanna love,
But its a long hard road out of Hell.
I wanna live, I wanna love,
But its a long hard road, out of Hell.

You never said forever, could ever hurt like this.
You never said forever, could ever hurt like this.

I wanna live, I wanna love,
But its a long hard road out of Hell.
I wanna live, I wanna love,
But its a long hard road, out of Hell!
Long hard road, out of Hell.

I wanna live, I wanna love,
But its a long hard road, out of Hell.

Sell my soul for anything, anything but you.
Sell my soul for anything, anything but you.

Ok Ok. You have posted enough for the moment, have a rest plz

Title: Needled 24/7
Artist: Children Of Bodom
Lirycs:
Since day one I've been crass and far beyond.
I couldn't laugh, I couldn't cry ...
Before you judge me, take a look at yourself.
Condescending, outlivin' in a lie..

Despite all the pain in my heart grinding through,
it ain't due that you hate what I hate what you do

Despite all the piety you've been consuming thus far,
a backstabbing mother*BLEEP*er to the bone is what you are

And everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,
Then again it's like being needled 24/7

You look down to me to see the scum of the earth to be.
*BLEEP* yeah, that's me, vile and obscene.
I ain't happy about it but at least I don't judge and decree
to be better than another human being.

Everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,
Then again it's like being needled 24/7

Despite all the piety you've been consuming thus far,
Can anyone, somebody tell me what the *BLEEP* is going on?

Everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,
Then again it's like being needled 24/7

lol, yeah, I'm postin like god.

When I take a vacation, I won't have to worry about it! ::smile::

Title:Stay together for the kids
Artist:blink 182
Lyrics:
It's hard to wake up,
When the shades have been pulled shut.
This house is haunted, its so pathetic, it makes no sense at all.
I'm ripe with things to say, the words rot and fall away.
If this stupid poem could fix this home, I'd read it every day.

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time.
You gave it all away.
It was mine.
So when you're dead and gone,
Will you remember this night?
Twenty years now lost.
It's not right.

Their anger hurts my ears.
Been running strong for seven years.
Rather than fix the problems, they never solve them.
It makes no sense at all.
I see them every day.
We get along so why can't they?
If this is what he wants, and it's what she wants,
Then why is there so much pain?

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time.
You gave it all away.
It was mine.
So when you're dead and gone,
Will you remember this night?
Twenty years now lost.
It's not right.

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time.
You gave it all away.
It was mine.
So when your dead and gone,
Will you remember this night?
Twenty years now lost.
It's not right.

Its not right (x3)
