Name that (crappy) tune...

[Stark]

Because I only have two days left of listening to the crappy local hard rock/metal station all day (I start a new job monday), I've decided to start a name that tune thread. If you guess the title to the tune and band, it's your turn to post some lyrics. Try to keep it in the "rock" genre.

First up:


<< White man came across the sea
Brought us pain and misery
Killed our tribes killed our creed
Took our game for his own need

We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?

Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom a stab in the back
Women and children and cowards attack >>

 

[Shack70]

Thats Iron Maiden isn't it?

 

[geno]

You heard this on a rock station? Never knew there were any Native American activist bands out there

 

[mpg]

Iron Maiden, Run to the Hills

 

[Stark]

mpg got it. I don't get why a british band is writing about american history and indian injustice, but whatever.

Since mpg didn't list a new tune: Now playing on the radio...


<<
When dreaming I'm guided through another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me [title]?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me [title]?
To the place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine >>

 

[DannyLove]

rock/metal isnt my best knowledge in music

 

[Yeeny]

That is Creed's Higher.

 

[bolomite]

Yup.

 

[Yeeny]

Alright, here is an easy one for you guys:

Memories are just where you laid them
Dragging waters till the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was it something you left behind?
Don't you remember everything I said when I said,

Don't fall away, and leave me to myself
Don't fall away, and leave love bleeding in my hands,
In my hands again,
Leave love bleeding in my hands,
In my hands,
Love lies bleeding...


Oh hold me now, I feel contagious..
Am I the only place that you've left to go?
She cries that life is like some movie black and white..
Dead actors, vacant lies, Over, and over, and over again she cries..

Don't fall away, and leave me to myself
Don't fall away, and leave love bleeding in my hands,
In my hands again,
Leave love bleeding in my hands,
In my hands,
Love lies bleeding...

And I wanted
You turned away
You don't remember,
But I do..
You never even tried...

Fuel - Hemorrhage (In My Hands)

Here's one for you, now playing on the radio:


<< Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain't the same
[title]
Times gone by seem to be
You could have been a better friend to me
[title]

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned aroound
By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can't stand to say goodbye
[title] >>

Mama I'm coming home, by Ozzy Osbourne.......

 

[myputer]

I was afraid you'd hit me if i'd spoken up i was
afraid of your physical strength i was afraid
you'd hit me below the belt i was afraid of your
sucker punch i was afraid of your reducing me
i was afraid of your alcohol breath i was afraid
of your complete disregard for me i was afraid
of your temper i was afraid of handles being
flown off of i was afraid of holes being punched
into walls i was afraid of your testosterone
I have as much rage as you have
I have as much pain as you do
I've lived as much hell as you have
and i've kept mine bubbling under for you

Chorus:
you were my best friend
you were my lover
you were my mentor
you were my brother
you were my partner
you were my teacher
you were my very own sympathetic character

i was afraid of verbal daggers i was afraid of the
calm before the storm i was afraid for my own
bones i was afraid of your seduction i was afraid of
your coercion i was afraid of your rejection
i was afraid of your intimidation i was afraid of
your punishment i was afraid of your icy silences
i was afraid of your volume i was afraid of your
manipulation i was afraid of your explosions

I have as much rage as you do
I have as much pain as you do
I've lived as much hell as you have
and i've kept mine bubbling under for you

(Repeat Chorus X2)

you were my keeper
you were my anchor
you were my family
you were my saviour
and therein lay the issue
and therein lay the problem



This is a tough one! Good luck

Another crappy song on the radio:


<<
Out on the streets
That's where we'll meet
You make the night
I always cause the lies
Tied in my belts
Abuse yourself
Get in our way
We'll put you on your shelf
Another day some other way
We're gonna go and never see you again
I've had enough
We've had enough
Come on babe she said
I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winning
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow thru my heart

[title]
With love we'll find a way
Just give it time
[title]
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why, dig

Lookin at you lookin at me
The way you move
You know it's easy to see
The neon lights are on me tonight
I've got a way
We're gonna prove it tonight
Like Romeo to Juliet
I'm gonna make you mine

I've had enough
We've had enough
So insane, she said

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winning
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow thru my heart

[title]
With love we'll find a way
Just give it time
[title]
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why, dig

Out on the streets
That's where we'll meet
You make the night
I always cause the lies
Tied in my belts
Abuse yourself
Get in our way
We'll put you on your shelf

[title]
With love we'll find a way
Just give it time
[title]
What comes around goes around
We'll put you on your shelf
I'll tell you why, why, why >>

 

[myputer]

That would be Ratt, Round and Round

 

[myputer]

On the edge of a windowsill
Ponders his maker, ponders his will
To the street below, he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks the needle deep, yeah...
Whoa, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom

Oh, on the edge of a know-nothin' town
Feelin' quite superior, the aged come
To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks a burning knife deep, yeah...
Ooh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...uh huh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep...
Ohhh...Ohhh...

Ow...
On the edge of a Christmas clean love
Young virgin from heaven...visiting Hell
To the man above her, she just ain't nothin'
And she doesn't like the view
She doesn't like the view (2x)
But he sinks himself deep

Oh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
Can't touch the bottom
Deep, yeah...
Oh, yeah, the bottom, yeah... (6x)
Ohh...

Try this one

 

[loosbrew]

peral jam, Deep

ok heres one....


Nothing left to say
And all I've left to do
Is run away
From you
And she led me on, down
With secrets I can't keep

Close your eyes and sleep
Don't wait up for me
Hush now don't you speak
To me

Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, your heart

So now I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray my tears
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools

One last kiss for me...yeah
One last kiss good night

Didn't want to lose you once again
Didn't want to be your friend
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
And crawled back to you

I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray myself
To anyone, lost, anyone but you

So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me, yeah
Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
When god sleeps in bliss

And I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray myself
To anyone

good luck

Since no one's picking up the baton, here's my 1/50th of a dollar:

I smell smoke
that comes from a gun
named extinction
it was a long time ago
could have happened to anyone
he was struck by a bullet
and he melted into fluid named
extintion
one thousand miles an hour
i'm just like anyone
i want to feel
the road of tar beneath the wheel
named extinction
and evolving from the sea
would no be too much time for me
to walk beside you in the sun
i read something
about a son of a gun
named extinction

Pretty easy, if you were a fan. (Ooops, gave a hint!)

<<
Goodbye cruel world
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind

Goodbye

Common ..... it's really easy.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

[Stark]

Pink Floyd
Goodbye Cruel World

Now playing:


<< Until the break of dawn
Life life
Cannot go by the letter
Time time
Prozac can make it better
Noise noise
Any kind will do
Can you feel it slip away
When it's all on you

Crime crime
Rockin' like Janet Reno
Time time
Eighteen and life in Chino
Freud Freud
All along it's true
Well you'll see there comes a day
Catches up to you

Knock down the walls, it's alive in you
Knock down the place, you're alone it's true
Knock down the world, it's alive in you
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna
Bust out on it - [title]
Break out yeah - original yeah
Bust out on it - [title]
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main man say

You know it smells like sht
Go##amn

Son of Sam
Fire always makes it better
Navigate
With style and aplomb
Cause wherever you're at
That's the tip you's on

Lies, lies
Says he's down in the Bahamas
Tries tries
Bangin' little hoochie mamas
No way
None of this is true
Well he'll see there comes a day
When the joke's on you yeah

Dime dime

Nine nine
Don't want to be ya

Too easy!!!

&quot;Goodbye Cruel World&quot; - Pink Floyd.

EDIT
&quot;Original Prankster&quot; - Offspring

I get to keep playing...

Okey-dey, I'll be surprised if ANYONE gets this one:

Seven times in seven days
I've sat and wished my life away
I know the greyness comes and goes
But the sun don't shine
And the snow don't snow
There's Suzy-Ann with her tits and curls
Where mediocrity excels
For those vicious boys and their boring girls
You know it makes me sick but it's a bozo's world

Then there's always the cash!
Selling your soul for some trash
Smiling at people you can not stand
You're in demand
Your fifteen minutes start now

City banker looks are in
The heartless heart, the chinless chin
And you'd spill your beans
For just a pint of gin
How you got so holy
And became so thin

In Sunday papers every week
The silly words you love to speak
The tacky photos and the phoney smiles
Well it's a bozo's world
And you're a bozo's child

Then there's always the cash!
Selling your soul for some trash
Smiling at people you can not stand
You're in demand
Your fifteen minutes start now

Then there's always the fame!
Autographs now and again
People who saw you in Blankety Blank
Or in the bank
Your fifteen minutes start now

Title may be easy, but the artist is the killer.

Kristy McKall (or something like that&quot;
15 minutes

now playing... and remember this is a hard rock, metal station, so think carefully about the band (cover):



<< When you were young and your heart was an open book,
You used to say live and let live.
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry,
Say [title] !
[title] ,
[title] ,
[title] .

What does it matter to ya,
When you've got a job to do you gotta do it well,
You gotta give the other fellow hell!

You used to say live and let live.
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry,
Say [title] !
[title] ,
[title] ,
[title] .

Guns &amp; Roses - &quot;Live and Let Die&quot;

I can't believe you got the Kirsty MacColl one!:Q EXCELLENT!!!

Easy one, back in the hard rock vein:

Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help you see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you, in [song title]
[Visualize your dream]
[Record it in the present tense]
[Put it into a permanent form]
[If you persist in your efforts]
[You can achieve dream control]
[Dream control]
[How's that then, better?]
[Hug me]
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from the pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help to see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you....

Queensryche

Now playing:


<< In the air I'm tasting your perfection
Forgive me dear for my misdirection
As I crawl beneath this torture you adore
I fall face to face with my scars you've ignored

So tell me why it don't feel the same
Tell me why I've got to feel this way
Yeah you leave, you're gone
And I'm left here with the blame
So tell me why it don't feel the same

All my props I swear they were in order
Even with the warnings of your thunder
Now I pause to let my silence scream tonight
While you roam like a serpent satellite
>>
