Default Lyrics! Lyrics! Lyrics!

Voices of Babylon by The Outfield

Hit the message I can hear you calling.
No one´s going anywhere tonight.
We conceived a modern generation.
It was free, but now we pay the price.

We´re the victims of our own creation,
Chasing rainbows that are painted black or white.
Watch the struggle of our own temptation.
Instincts barely keeping us alive.

Back to the rhythm that we all came from.
Voices of Babylon, streets of London.
Back to the people that we know so well.
A space in time removed too soon to tell.

Just a product of our imagination,
Patiently, we wait for our turn to come.
A small collection of the population.
By the time our number´s up, we could be gone.

Back to the rhythm that we all came from.
Voices of Babylon, streets of London.
Back to the people that we know so well.
A space in time removed too soon to tell.

Back to the rhythm that we all came from.
Voices of Babylon, streets of London town.

Life in a Northern Town by the Dream Academy

A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
Ah -

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.

They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down
To listen.
He said "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And the Beatles."

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
All the work shut down.

The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain,
As we followed him down
To the station
And though he never would wave goodbye,
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight
Bye-bye.

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.


(Hey Bill, I was just listening to that Outfield song on the way home tonight. Nice)

Sodom, South Georgia by Iron & Wine

Papa died smiling
Wide as the ring of a bell
Gone all star white
Small as a wish in a well
And Sodom, South Georgia
Woke like a tree full of bees
Buried in Christmas
Bows and a blanket of weeds

Papa died Sunday and I understood
All dead white boys say, "God is good"
White tongues hang out, "God is good"

Papa died while my
Girl Lady Edith was born
Both heads fell like
Eyes on a crack in the door
And Sodom, South Georgia
Slept on an acre of bones
Slept through Christmas
Slept like a bucket of snow

Papa died Sunday and I understood
All dead white boys say, "God is good"
White tongues hang out, "God is good"


Minon: Addicted to Iron & Wine at the moment.

Talk by Coldplay

Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you, cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me

So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Do something that's never been done

So you don't know were you're going, and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk

SOUL MEETS BODY

by Death Cab for Cutie


I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there's a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they're far more suited than here

I cannot guess what we'll discover
Between the dirt with our palms cut like shovels
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain

I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

I do believe it's true
That there are holes left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Hooray for a Death Cab song! Hooray!

A Pain That I'm Used To by Depeche Mode

I'm not sure what I'm looking for anymore
I just know that I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of me
But the key is a question of control

Can you say what you're trying to play anyway
I just pay while you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive that is fueled

All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

There's a hole in your soul like an animal
With no conscience, repentance unknown
Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds that are sawn

I can't conceal what I feel, what I know is real
No mistaking the faking, I care
With a prayer in the air I will leave it there
On a note full of hope not despair

All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

Minion: Digs the Playing the Angel album

I was listening to this earlier today.

The beginning of this song always startles me.

The Llama Song

Here's a llama
There's a llama
And another little llama
Fuzzy llama
Funny llama
Llama llama duck

Llama llama
Cheesecake llama
Tablet brick potato llama
Llama llama
Mushroom llama
Llama llama duck

I was once a tree house
I lived in a cake
But I never saw the way
The orange slayed the rake
I was only three years dead
But it told a tale
And now listen little child
To the safety rail

Did you ever
See a llama
Kiss a llama on the llama
Llama's llama
Tastes of llama
Llama llama duck

Half a llama
Twice the llama
Not a llama farmer llama
Llama in a
Car alarm a
Llama llama duck

Is that how it's told now?
Is it all so old?
Is it made of lemon juice?
Doorknob, ankle, cold.
Now my song is getting thin,
I've run out of luck.
Time for me to retire now,
And become a duck.

You think it's startling on the CD? Try hearing it blasted through gigantic 20 foot speaker banks from the stage.

Minion: I still can....*bzzzzzzz*

Jesus Says - The Servant

This is my body
This is my blood
This is my mobile
These are my drugs
Eating egg and bacon in my flat
Ripping up paper making wraps

This is my body
This is my blood
This is my mobile
These are my drugs
Eating egg and bacon in my flat
Ripping up paper making wraps

Because it's all about the profit
It's all about the profit
And I'm a prophet
And I'm a prophet
It's all about the profit
It's all about the profit
And I'm a prophet
And I'm a prophet
I'm a complex system
I'm a line of code
You're a complex system
You're a line of code

Brothers and sisters
Jesus says leave your cars and offices
Brothers and sisters
Jesus says leave your cars and offices
Brothers and sisters
Jesus says leave your cars and offices
Brothers and sisters
Jesus says leave your cars and offices

This is my body
This is my blood
This is my mobile
These are my drugs
Eating egg and bacon in my flat
Ripping up paper making wraps

You idiot
I'm a liar
I'm the robot from Isiah
See the sky freeze
The ocean boil
I baptise you with crude oil
Oh I synthesize dreams
Synthesize dreams
Your dreams
Your dreams
I synthesize dreams
Synthesize dreams
Your dreams
Your dreams
I'm a complex system
I'm a line of code
You're a complex system
You're a line of code

Don't you want to save your soul
Don't you want to save
