Counting Crows - A Long December

A long december and theres reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I cant remember the last thing that you said as you were leaven
Now the days go by so fast
And its one more day up in the canyons
And its one more night in hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven...i wish you would
The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that its all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
And its one more day up in the canyons
And its one more night in hollywood
If you think you might come to california...i think you should
Drove up to hillside manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And its been a long december and theres reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I cant remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And its one more day up in the canyon
And its one more night in hollywood
Its been so long since Ive seen the ocean...i guess I should

Creature in the sky, got sucked in a hole now theres a hole in the sky, and the grounds not cold and if the grounds not cold, everything is gonna burn, we'll all take turns, I'll get mine too...

or


Chained to the pillars, a 3 day party, you broke the walls, and killed us all, with holy fingers.

Lately, I've been really digging on The Mars Volta's Viscera Eyes:

Por cuando te vi enfermo con mentiras
Este ladron cuenta se dio
Trapa mal hecho de trampas te lo juro
Que ya si te mato
Y con cada dia que se pase recuerdate
Quien era el mas poderoso

Don't let me
Don't let me go

There is a venom in numerical eyes
Your convalescent thorns
Are but a crown of magnets
Your father shakes inside that third glass eye
Come on and give it to me
Come on and die

In your viscera eyes
Cateracts close the blinds
Lend me your comfort
Come drown by your side

Ay, mi hijo, no me llores
Porque te quito de esta cruz
Ni agachate vi caminando sin la alma de tu cuerpo
En los brazos sin luz

They scalp our children while seven
The four of them were watching
While the other three now hide
The culprits spat the seed from a podium of glass
We shudder in the sigil that you carpe diem-tize

Don't let me
Don't let me go

There is a venom in numerical eyes
Your convalescent thorns
Are but a crown of magnets
Verucca shakes inside that third glass eye
Come on and give it to me
Come on and die

In your viscera eyes
Cataracts close the blinds
Lend me your comfort
Come drown by your side

In your viscera eyes
Cataracts close the blinds
Lend me your comfort
Come cry by your side

Wait! I've seen the ark shake from your pneumonic tongue
But the braile that you weave of itself it shall read aloud
Yes it will
I said, she's falling, she's still falling
But no one wants to come
She's crawling, she's still crawling
On your burial ground
Said, she's falling, she's still falling
But no one wants to come
I said, she's crawling, she's still crawling
On your burial ground.

Bette Midler - The Rose


Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to blead

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you its only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose

My Ding A Ling Lyrics
Artist: Chuck Berry

Audio: http://www.uglyjackass.com/med...songs/?id=my_dingaling

My Ding-A-Ling Lyrics
When I was a little biddy boy
My grandma bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hanging on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling

(Chorus)
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling, I want you to play with My Ding-A-Ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling, I want you to play with My Ding-A-Ling
(End Chorus)

And then mama took me to grammar school
But I stopped off in the best of you
Everytime that bell would ring
Catch me playing with my ding-a-ling-a-ling

(Repeat Chorus)

Once I was climbing the garden wall,
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard that I heard bells ring,
But I held on to my ding-a-ling-a-ling

(Repeat Chorus)

Once I was swimming across Turtle Creek
Man them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimming cross that thing
W ith both hands holding my ding-a-ling-a-ling

(Repeat Chorus)

This here song it ain't so sad
The cutest little song that you ever had
Those of you who will not sing
You must be playing with your own ding-a-ling

(Repeat Chorus)

Your ding-a-ling, your ding-a-ling
We saw you play with your ding-a-ling
Oh my ding-a-ling, everybody sing
I want to play with my ding-a-ling

(Repeat Chorus)

Lately it's been "Reach for the Sky" by Social Distortion:

When I was young I was invincible,
I found myself not thinking twice,
I never thought about no future,
it's just the roll of the dice

But the day may come,
When you've got something to lose,
And just when you think you're done paying dues,
When you say to yourself
Dear god, what have I done?
I hope it's not too late because tomorrow,

May never come,
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow,
May never come,
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow,
May never come

Yesterday is history,
And tomorrow's a mystery,
But being here right now,
It's just about you and me,

You can run, you can hide,
Just like Bonnie and Clyde,
Reach for the sky,
Ain't never gonna die,
And I thank the lord for the love that I have found,
And hold you tight cause tomorrow

May never come,
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow,
May never come,
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow,
May never come

So if you please, take this moment,
Try if you can to make it last,
Don't think about the future,
And just forget about the past,
And make it last

Iron Maiden - Hallowed by Thy Name

I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime.
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time.
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole,
The sands of time for me are running low. Running low (6 secs)

When the priest comes to read me the last rites,
I take a look through the bars at the last sights,
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me.

Can it be that there's some sort of error?
Hard to stop the surmounting terror.
Is this really the end,not some crazy dream?

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming,
It's not easy to stop from screaming,
But words escape me when I try to speak.

Tears fall but why am I crying?
After all I'm not afraid of dying.
Don't I believe that there never is an end?

As the guards take me out to the courtyard,
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you".
If there's a God,why does he let me go?

As I walk my life drifts before me
Though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul,it's willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand,
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion.

yeah, yeah, yeah...Hallowed be Thy name
yeah, yeah, yeah...Hallowed be Thy name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa

Jonathan Coulton:

This was a triumph
I?m making a note here: huge success
It?s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
But there?s no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

I?m not even angry
I?m being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we?re out of beta, we?re releasing on time
So I?m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive

Go ahead and leave me
I think I?d prefer to stay inside
Maybe you?ll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Anyway this cake is great
It?s so delicious and moist
Look at me still talking when there?s science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I?m not you
I?ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive
I?m doing science and I?m still alive
I feel fantastic and I?m still alive
And while you?re dying I?ll be still alive
And when you?re dead I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive
