Song of the day!

[SiaKlynn]

Paula Cole: Throwing Stones

So call me a bitch in heat and
I'll call you a liar
And we'll throw stones until we're dead

There you go again you cut me off from talking
You bask in the glory
The center of the circle
All our friends think you're a comedian
So kind and generous
but I am suffering

Away from here
I wanna be
Away from here
Away from here
Away from every little thing
Every little thing
I used to love your every little, every little thing

Now you call me a bitch in heat and
I call you a liar
And we'll throw stones until we're dead

You're the puppeteer and i'm the puppet
You manipulate me with your guilt-ridden Catholic shit
Everytime i try to talk it through
You turn it around and make us out to be
David and Goliath

Away from here
I wanna be
Away from here
Away from here
Away from every little thing
Every little thing
I used to love your every little every little thing

Now you call me a bitch in heat and
I'll call you a liar
And we'll throw stones until we're dead

Your arms beneath me
Your lying inside me
I used to love your every little every little thing
Your eyes blue stars
Your hand in my purse
And now I hate your every little every little thing

Oh momma
I didn't know life was this hard
Oh momma
My innocence has been torn

My inner vision, dulled and darkened
I gave myself away to you
I felt my sorrow humble me
And throw my crown upon the ground

It's you I hope for
And us I pray for
And me that I believed was wrong
But now my anger is my best friend
Be careful I may bite your head off

Liar

So call me a bitch in heat and
I'll you a liar
And we'll throw stones until we're dead

So call me a bitch in heat and
I'll you a mother fucker
And we'll throw stones until we're dead​

 

[Scuttle Buttin']

Simply one of my favorite songs.

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek

Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall,
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.
When busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines.
All those years they were here first.

Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before.
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
still life.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears,
They were here first.

Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Because it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
Mmm what you say?
What did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.​

I do like this song. But I can no longer listen to it without seeing that SNL web skit. It's just forever linked in my head.​

I really like this song too. Dig her voice so much.

I didn't even know they did one until recently. I still haven't seen it, I need to go look that up.

 

[Scuttle Buttin']

I really like this song too. Dig her voice so much.

She's a lot of fun to see live, too.

She had an amazing beatboxer named Kid Beyond open for her, and then an indie singer-songwriter named Levi Weaver (who I think you'd really like) also opening for her, and both of them did a fair amount of live looping like she does. First time I've seen people do that, and to watch someone literally build a song piece by piece on stage in front of you is amazing.

First time I also saw anyone play a guitar with a violin bow.

Haha.. that is damn good stuff.


I also completely forgot about the Doogie Howser thing they did!


I think you just entertained me for the next few minutes.

You might have trouble finding him on Spotify, but I think he has a page on bandcamp.com where you can listen to his stuff.

Good Medicine, Dear Friends, Of Bridges Burned, Family Feud, Kansas I Decline (Stars), and his cover of Radiohead's Idotique are my favorites of his.

I do love this band. The video is silly...and I love it. Isn't she a beautiful woman?

Elizabeth and the Catapult - You and Me


Just look at me as if for the first time
I'm not leaving until you let me in
I'm dressed like a present that's no longer wanted
A face full of blush and I'm brokenhearted for you. Ohhh
Yeah I'm brokenhearted for you. Ohhhh

And take me on like we're just beginning
No no no don't be cruel, I want to take my bidding
I'll ask for a smoke and then I'll take it back
I'll even feign surprise when you drop my hat. Ohhh


Don't have to wonder what they're laughing about
Only matters if you swallow it down
I don't care about what anyone believes
I only care about you and me
And if we never understand a thing
Only gets you if you let the stuff sink in
I don't care about what anyone believes
I only care about you and me
I only care about you and me

So tell that joke that's no longer funny
Yeah I'll be eyeing that wine in no time honey
And maybe later on if we still remember
You can be my king underneath my covers. Ohhh
I'm brokenhearted for you. Ohhh

And oh I know, you're just as green as the day I met you
You can tell me no, but it sure is good to see you

Don't have to wonder what they're laughing about
Only matters if you swallow it down
I don't care about what anyone believes
I only care about you and me
And if we never understand...
Only gets you if you let the stuff sink in
I don't care about what anyone believes
I only care about you and me
I only care about you and me​

 

[DeevaLicious]

Thinking of You - Love & Theft

Girl, your hand brushed mine
Shouldn't be no big deal
But When it does I can't deny
How it makes my heart feel

You've got my imagination running
Like a freight train on a downhill track
Straight into the depend of a feeling and I know
That Ain't Comin' Back

Chorus:
I've been thinking' of you and how it'd feel to brush your hair back
From your eyes and kissing you
Kiss you wao ver that line
To find out how good it could be
I've been thinking of you and me

Now I don't want to go and make things
Complicated
And keeping you as my best friend
Would be okay but
what if everything we ever wanted was a whisper
And a touch away
I'd rather risk it knowing, oh, then be a fool forever
Oh, and never say

Repeat Chorus

Oh,

Repeat Chorus

Yeah, thinking of you

 

[The_Spectre]

Birdhouse In Your Soul by They Might be Giants

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and
I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary
One note, spelled L-I-T-E
My story's infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette
It doesn't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores
And kept the beaches shipwreck-free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off
And countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels it's
Always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

While you're at it
Leave the nightlight on
Inside the birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch) While you're at it
(Who watches over you) Leave the nightlight on
(Make a little birdhouse in your soul) Inside the birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch) While you're at it
(Who watches over you) Leave the nightlight on
(Make a little birdhouse in your soul) Inside the birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

[The_Spectre]

I want to do something a bit different and put two songs against one another (on an original song, the other a cover) and see which you think is best and maybe even give some info while we're at it. To start things off, here's Queen's Radio Ga Ga.

Written by drummer Roger Taylor, the song is a commentary of television and how it almost completely phased out radio telling how one would listen to radio for a favourite comedy, drama, or sci-fi program and so on, as well as a critique toward radio for it repetition and saturation of the playing same songs being played over and over. Taylor claimed he was inspired to write this after watching MTV, noticing that lots of kids were watching the channel instead of listening to the radio. The song covered in 2005 by Electric Six as part of their Señor Smoke album.

Queen Original

Electric Six Cover


Side notes:
-Originally, the song was titled "Radio Ca-Ca," but the rest of the group objected and asked Taylor for a re-write.
-Lady Gaga took her name from this song.​

 

[Light Ice]

Coldplay - Trouble

O no, I see,
I spun a web, it's tangled up with me,
And I lost my head,

The thought of all the stupid things I said,
O no what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
So I turned to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done,

I never meant to cause you trouble,
And I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
O no, I never meant to do you harm.

O no I see,
A spider web and it's me in the middle,
So I twist and turn,
Here I am in love in a bubble,

Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,
I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Although I never meant to do you harm.

They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me.

 

[chronicle_tenko]

Mr. Ice. I may have found your theme song. If not, I've been enjoying working out to it.

Volbeat- Still Counting

"Still Counting"

Counting all the assholes in the room
Well I'm definitely not alone, well I'm not alone
You're a liar, you're a cheater, you're fool
Well that's just like me yoohoo and I know you too
Mr. Perfect don't exist my little friend
And I tell you it again, and I do it again
Counting all the assholes in the room, Well I'm
definitely not alone, well I'm not alone

Look deep into yourself before you blame all others
for betrayal, for betrayal
I promise, so easy to say, and easy you failed,
and you do it again

Well the music seems do cover
And all the liquid do the colours
Well I turn my back and
go for all the better things in order

Well maybe you think your lie is safe
But I read you like a letter, yeah like a letter
Your charm do not evens the pain
it feeds me with rage, and you do it again

Well the music seems do cover
And all the liquid do the colours
Well I turn my back and
go for all the better things in order

Well the music seems do cover
And all the liquid do the colours
Well I turn my back and
go for all the better things in order

And a gangster keeps on telling
That he got a song that matters
So I flip a coin towards him
Thank you very much for listening​

 

[palemoon2035]

It's Friday!!! C'mon everyone! Let's go crazy!

Prince - Let's Go Crazy

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called "life"

Electric word, life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else,
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life,
You're on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy (Punch a higher floor! )

Woo!

If you don't like
The world you're living in
Take a look around
At least you got friends

You see I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Ah-s ah-s) is all I heard

Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?
Oh, no lets go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
Until they put us in the truck, let's go!

We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cause
We're all gonna die

And when we do (When we do)
What's it all for (What's it all for)
You better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?
Oh, no let's go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
Until they put us in the truck, let's go!

C'mon baby
Let's get nuts!
Yeah
(Crazy)

Let's go crazy!

Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?
Oh, no let's go!
Go (Go crazy)

I said let's go crazy (go crazy)
Let's go (Let's go! )
Go (Let's go! )

Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough children

He's comin'
He's comin'
Comin'
​

This song still makes me bounce around just like when I was 6 years old! Happy Friday everyone!

 

[WickedSpitFire]

I <3 Pandora for this.

Hinder "Hey Ho"

I've never been so happy to see a girl leave
Take your filthy little hands off my dirty ripped jeans
You told me you hated my GNR shirt
Shoulda known then, this is never gonna work
But like what you like, don't matter to me
Just leave the jack and take your hennessy
Take your Kanye out of my player please
Led Zepplin 45 is stayin' with me

Hey ho
Ain't nothin' little 'bout rock n roll
Hey ho
Rap it up and hip-hop down the road
Hell no
Don't turn down my radio
If you're a dirty little rocker
Baby come on and let it show
And scream "Hey ho"

You never liked any damn song I wrote
You spent my money and you smoked my smoke
Pumpin' lame-ass beats in your foreign car
It ain't real music without guitar
I like Jimmy Hendrix, baby don't you know
I like gettin' high, not ridin' low

Hey ho
Ain't nothin' little 'bout rock n roll
Hey ho
Rap it up and hip-hop down the road
Hell no
Don't turn down my radio
If you're a dirty little rocker
Baby come on and let it show
And scream "Hey ho"

You can wait me in line, at the club, if you wanna
Shake your ass all night, but I'm gonna
Find a rocker chick that'll bang to Nirvana
Yo, ho! You gotta go!
You ain't nothin' but a...

Hey ho
Ain't nothin' little 'bout rock n roll
Hey ho
Rap it up and hip-hop down the road
Hell no
Don't turn down my radio
If you're a dirty little rocker
Baby come on and let it show
And scream "Hey ho"

Never been so happy to see a girl leave
Take your Little Wayne outta my player please
Shoulda never let you smoke my smoke
I like gettin' high, not ridin' low

If you're a dirty little rocker
Baby come on and let it show
And scream "Hey, ho!"

Yesterday by Paul McCartney

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it look as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
oh, I believe in yesterday, Mm

"Try Again"

What would you do
To get to me
What would you say
To have your way
Would you give up
Or try again
If I hesitate
To let you win
Or would you be yourself
Or play your role
Tell all the boys
Or keep it low
If I say no
Would you turn away
Or play me off
Or would you stay

[Chorus]
If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again

If at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again

I'm into you,
You into me
But I cant let it go
So easily
Not 'til I see
What this could be
Be eternity
Or just a week
You know, our chemistry
Is off the chain
Is perfect now
But will it change
This aint a yes
This aint a no
Just do your thang
We'll see how it goes...ohhh

If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try it again
You can dust it off and try again

If at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try it again
Dust yourself off and try again

[Hook]
If you dont wanna throw it all away
Might be shy on the first date
What about the next date
huh, huh, huh, huh

If you dont wanna throw it all away
You might be buggin' on the first date
But what about the next date
um, um, um, um

Time Is Love
Josh Turner

i know i gotta put in the hours,
make the money while the sunlight shines
but anything i gotta get done,
it can get done some other time

time is love, gotta run,
love to hang longer,
but i got someone who waits,
waits for me and right now
she's where i need to be,
time is love, gotta run

i only get so many minutes,
don't wanna spend 'em all on the clock
in the time that we spent talkin',
how many kisses have i lost?

time is love, gotta run,
love to hang longer,
but i got someone who waits,
waits for me and right now
she's where i need to be,
time is love, gotta run.

gotta fly
fly
before one more moment
gets by.

time is love, gotta run,
love to hang longer,
but i got someone who waits,
waits for me and right now
she's where i need to be

time is love, gotta run,
love to hang longer,
but i got someone who waits,
waits for me and right now
she's where i need to be,
time is love, gotta run.

time is love, gotta run.​

 

[Playfulkitty333]

Wow! I wasn't even aware Paula cole had any other songs aside for 'Where Have All the Cowboys Gone' Which was an all time favorite of mine when I was younger! Good song though.

 

[The_Spectre]

Does anyone here even listen to Motorhead? Oh well, Lemmy is awesome.

Overkill by Motorhead

Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud,
So good you can't believe it's screaming with the crowd,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill

On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine,
Shake your head you must be dead if it don't make you fly,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill

Know your body's made to move, feel it in your guts
Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make you strut,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill​

 

[LitShark]

((Best lyrics I could find without trying very hard...))

"Awake Like an Owl"
Andre Nickatina

(What time is it!!!)

This is one of those, A1-Yola raps...
Stick in ya mind, stick in ya mind, stick in ya mind...

[Verse 1]
When you up all night
You see things you shouldn't have saw
Because the night gets raw
Drama is thicker than Skippy's peanut butter
Imagine the worried thoughts of a young man's mother
Feelin's empty, Love don't live here anymore
Awake like an owl at a quarter to four
Don't blink, a Caddy just ran a red light
Bumpin' thug life, and I blend with the night

They call me greedy
...(?) to get a girl a beaty
It's Andre Nickatina
I'm like a genie in a beanie
Amarato 88 Cadillac, all black
Copy cats try to match
But they style ain't exactly the same
Somebody said "Freeze it's a raid!"
You know cops are comin' when a brotha smells
Glazed doughnuts, hold up
Patna fill it to the rim (?)
Me and money go together like a feather in a brim

I'm a magician
...(?) but I ain't trippin'
A girl be yellin...(?) I don't listen
Crooked crow
Playas seem to like my style
Why's that killa whale...

[Chorus]:
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!

[Verse 2]
(What are ya baby?)
I'm a Raider, camouflaged in silver and the black
Tryin' to blitz through the line for the quarter back sack
Of the money
I dress like it's cold, not sunny
But slyer than a (?) fox tryin' to catch a bunny
In the snow
I'm try'na get paid like a ho
Or better yet the pimp that's rakin' in her dough
Like a baker
But check it, who's the king of the caine?
And what's that tiga's name with the Macintosh computer brain mind
Or should I say mine?
Sometimes I gotta lie to protect my crime
I'll call my lawyer!
Bail bonds keep me on the streets
Three in the mornin' I'm at the club with the freaks
But I got hawk eye
Meanin' that the joint is bein' watched
Drinkin' with the killas that be pushin' up the cost
For the drought season
...(?) season
...(?) up they best
But those be the ones that don't have to rest
Like an owl...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I set a trap, I have to spin a web like a spider
Don't strike matches, hate child-proof lighters
Stay awake
Quick(?) as I pick up the pace
First I see a girl's butt, then I look at her face
I can't explain
I'm eatin' garlic bread with the steak
... (????) ....
Brothas droppin' cream by the fiends when they part
I'm like a sentinel, known to be the principal original
Lookin' for the road that's made of gold they call it federal
I'm a general, but yet at times I blaze with my lieutenant
Popeye, no more blunts(?), who got the spinach?
Cough, choke, feelin' no remorse for the roach
Choppin' up freaks as ya lounge with your folks
Playin' dice, you take a chance at the crap game
It's all about the money baby, it's the rap game
And I'm an owl...

[Chorus] x2
