HOPES DIE LAST LYRICS - Johnny's Light Sucks

HOPES DIE LAST LYRICS



"Johnny's Light Sucks"






it's all getting old

and wise men run away so easily

so lightly I can't believe it

so drown into the sea

you'll find me there

I will drain all your fears

take it back, take it back

I can't believe

we didn't kill our (lies)

be quiet ask yourself why

and try

try to reach those heights

cause it's useless business

to tear yourself apart

especially

if thins are going like this

what does remain?

nothing's gonna be friendly

there's nothing after this wall

nothing after this wall

we're doing nothing but trying

to match our lives

and finally

the moment arrives

but I'm so tired

so tired of this fight

but I'm so tired

and this time

I give up

and this time

I give up

what does remain?

nothing's gonna be friendly

there's nothing after this wall

nothing after this wall

what does remain? (what can I say?)

nothing's gonna be friendly (for me)

there's nothing after this wall

nothing after this wall

it's all getting slow

everything's too slow

cause I heard you say

"hey don't be afraid"

IGGY POP LYRICS - I'm A Conservative

IGGY POP LYRICS



"I'm A Conservative"






I used to lead a quiet life

In fact it was a bare existence

I passed out on many floors

I don't do that any more



Hello my friends

Is everybody happy?

Hey look me over

Lend me an ear

I'm a conservative



I like the small black marks on my hands

I'm a conservative

I like the crazy girls that I screw

Hey I know them all well



And when I run out of bread I laugh

All the way to the bank

Sometimes I pause for a drink

Conservatism ain't no easy job



I smile in the mornings

I live without a care

Nothing is denied me

And nothing ever hurts



I got bored so I'm making my millions

When you're conservative you get a better break

You're always on the rigltt side

When you're conservative



You walk with pride

Pride is on your side

Pride pride pride

Is on our side

Oh boy

Pride is on our side



I like my beer

I like my bread

I love my girl

I love my head



I'm in the clear man

I'm in the dear

Because I'm a conservative

I'm a conservative

I really am

Ohyeslam



And it would mean so much to me

If you would only be like me

Yes it could mean so much to me



Hey look me over

Lend me an ear

I'm a conservative

A PATH LESS TRAVELED LYRICS - We're Bringing Xanga Back

A PATH LESS TRAVELED LYRICS



"We're Bringing Xanga Back"






The very presence of you

The very presence of you

Is ever so frightening

It's ever so frightening

You've done nothing but give me

Give hell for wanting this

For wanting this

You know it's true



Everybody get down so easily

You get under my skin

You rip me to shreds

So easily you get under my skin

You rip me to shreds until there's nothing left

There's nothing left

You rip me to shreds till there's nothing left



Now I see the truth behind this breakup

And all this time it was you all along

You truly have some demons

And your heart is slowly corroding away

Is corroding away

And your heart is slowly corroding away

Is slowly corroding away

Is slowly corroding away

It's corroding away

Sooner or later

Sooner or later

There will be nothing left

There will be nothing left

28 DAYS LYRICS - A General

28 DAYS LYRICS



"A General"






Tonight

I saw your true face

Vindictive

A language of your reaction

And thank you for returning my faith in what I believed in

It nearly went in vain

While you took aim



So when you wake tomorrow with no one left to crucify

You know that you'll still feel afraid

The way you woke up this morning, today



That's right

I saw your true face

Or rather

A representative of hatred

Don't you fight your own wars?

A general saluting yourself for yesterday

While you think about your prey



I hope for your sake you work out your problem lies within

Your tortured mindset you put out

So where's your violin?

SCARY KIDS SCARING KIDS LYRICS - Snake Devil

SCARY KIDS SCARING KIDS LYRICS



"Snake Devil"






All her systems go,

this one she's outta control.

She lost her grip, I think she fell off the edge!

She sinks her teeth in, there's no letting go

we all come to find, she's just a snake,

a snake devil!



This is not up for discussion.

Now we're a thing of the past,

And I won't live to see the sunrise!



She says I want you to know, before you let me go,

it's your fault, I'm demoralized!

But I won't let what she says, go to my head.

No, not again!



She's taking over the world, one heart at a time

She'll chew you up and spit you out, like nothing!

It's not her problem, well now we know,

She's nothing more than just a snake, a snake devil!



I won't live to see the sunrise,

it's just a matter of time, only a matter of time!

And I won't live to see the sunrise!



She says I want you to know, before you let me go,

it's your fault, I'm demoralized!

But I won't let what she says, go to my head.

No, not again!



And I won't live to see the sunrise!

No, I'd rather just die, than listen to your lies!

No, I won't live to see the sunrise!



You've already done the damage

We're a thing of the past

She's just a snake devil!

[repeat until fade out]

THE ATARIS LYRICS - San Dimas High School Football Rules (Acoustic)

THE ATARIS LYRICS



"San Dimas High School Football Rules (Acoustic)"






Last night I had a dream that we went to Disneyland,

Went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line.

I drove you to your house where we stared up at the stars

I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms.



We hung out at the rainbow where we drank til' half past two.

Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you.

Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss

Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist...



These are the things that make me free

I feel like I'm stuck in "stand by me"

This night was too good to be true.



Today I woke up alone wishing you were here with me,

I wanted us to be something that we'd probably never be.

Today you called me up and said you'd see me at our show,

But now I'm stuck debating if I even wanna go.



DENISE, don't you understand that what I say is true?

I just want you to know I have a major crush on you.

I'd drive you to Las Vegas and do the things you wanna do

I'd even have Wayne Newton dedicate a song to you.



I only wish that this could be

Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me

I swear I'd treat you like a queen.

RANCID LYRICS - Hooligans

RANCID LYRICS



"Hooligans"






(Rancid?... Tell them...)



Yeah!

Here's the new face of rock-n'-roll!

It's about fightin' toe to toe...

Hard times come,

Yeah the hard times go.

When I say, come one, come all.



Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure,

Scars been stricken on their face

Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure,

Scars been stricken on their face



One man's decision brings another's opposition completely unbound.

Down on the flats where the seaside meets my lonely youngtown

Well all the rudies and skins well they're out on the streets making the way on the rift,

between the bottles and sex they smash and they wreck for something to live



Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure,

Scars been stricken on their face

Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure,

Scars been stricken on their face



Sometimes you know there's no place to go, but to a long life of crime.

Yeah, but it's so wrong to steal, someone's very last meal to profit up a dime.

Your poe poes and greys well they end up in jail gonna swing the cowboys

Well you took a bite outta the apple of decision that got ya there boy.



Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure,

Scars been stricken on their face

Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure,

Scars been stricken on their face



Hooligans and bootboys, I don't want no racial hatred



"Black and white, who are portrayed without bias

These are the people whose voice I want to be..."



I said hooligans!

Rancid

Bootboys!

Rancid

Hooligans!

Rancid

Bootboys!

Rancid



Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure,

Scars been stricken on their face

Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure,

Ahhh ahhhh ahhhhhh...

IGNITE LYRICS - Epidemic

IGNITE LYRICS



"Epidemic"






in these days

there's no such thing as

random violence

it's deliberate

and premeditated

ignorance in your way

you're accountable

for your own actions

life is the path you take

the uncaring

and loss of resepct

leads to agony



life is sacred

tread softly in your ways

there's an epidemic

in these days



in one's own life

not all bad doings

go unrepaid

a life of crime

brings upon you

many unhappy days

you're at fault

for your own actions

life is a path you take

the uncaring

and loss of resepct

leads to agony



you are responsible for

your own actions in this life

whatever roads you travel

will lead you to where you are right now

THE STRAP-ONS LYRICS - Traffic Ticket

THE STRAP-ONS LYRICS



"Traffic Ticket"






Every time I look away

A cop does me wrong

Then I try to stand around

They say just move along

They say go get that coffee

Go get your doughnut fill

Go get your fingers off me fat cop

Pay your bills

On that day a girl got raped

Her mother and brother killed

Cops just sat there writing tickets

Looking at my pills

Shot her with a gun the cops couldn't come

They had to write some parking tickets

For some broke down bugs

DIE ÄRZTE LYRICS - Nie Wieder Krieg, Nie Mehr Las Vegas

DIE ÄRZTE LYRICS



"Nie Wieder Krieg, Nie Mehr Las Vegas"






Ich bin heut' morgen im Rinnstein aufgewacht,

splitternackt mit schwerem Schädel - was für eine Nacht!

Keinen Pfennig in der Tasche und kein Geld mehr auf der Bank.

Hallo Leute: ich bin pleite, ich bin total blank!

Alles verspielt, ich hab' alles verloren,

aber jetzt ist Schluss damit, das hab ich mir geschworen.



Nie wieder Hütchenspiel! Nie wieder in die Spielothek!

Nie wieder Hütchenspiel! Oh, das ganze Geld ist weg!

Nie mehr Las Vegas und nie mehr Quartett!

Nie wieder Hütchenspiel - oder Russisches Roulette!



Es fing alles ganz harmlos mit Monopoly an.

Ich war immer der Reichste, weil ich immerzu gewann.

Später spielte ich dann Lotto, natürlich mit System.

Ich hatte oft drei Richtige, das war ein schönes Leben.

Oft saß ich am Roulettetisch, nächtelang,

doch die verdammte Zockerei ist jetzt mein Untergang:



Nie wieder Hütchenspiel! Nie wieder in die Spielothek!

Nie wieder Hütchenspiel! Oh, das ganze Geld ist weg!

Alles durchgebracht, da haben wir den Salat!

Nie wieder Hütchenspiel - und auch ganz bestimmt kein Skat!



Oh wie schade, oh, wie schade:

nur noch trocken Brot und keine Schokolade.

Oh wie schade, ewig schade:

nur noch trocken Brot und keine Schokolade mehr -

das Leben ist nicht fair!



Nie wieder Hütchenspiel! Nie wieder in die Spielothek!

Nie wieder Hütchenspiel! Oh, das ganze Geld ist weg!

Nie mehr Malefiz und nie mehr Fang den Hut!

Nie wieder Hütchenspiel - dann wird alles wieder gut!

4FT FINGERS LYRICS - All Down Hill From Here

4FT FINGERS LYRICS



"All Down Hill From Here"






I think of all the good points, but they're out weighed by the bad

Thinking that in 50 years I'll be greay and going mad.

The thought of old timers disease, or dying at night because I freezed

I don't ever wanna be old.



I don't ever wanna fall, down that hill and break my hip

And every time that it gets cold I fall ill

And at least of all, the lame day trips

It's something that scares me it's my deepest and most darkest fear

It's all down hill from here



I don't ever wanna grow old

I wish that never never land was a true place,

Book me a ticket I've got sun cream on my face

Pension day, forgot what day, feeding the ducks is the highlight on my day.

Like a clock that's never wound.

FIGHTSTAR LYRICS - Ghosts On 31

FIGHTSTAR LYRICS



"Ghosts On 31"






We have never seen so far as this

Distance fails my feet as our minds think



If you can look in our eyes through the walls

Igniting the fires will be hard to ignore

If you don't act now you'll never know



I will never walk this far again

We're all so weak broken hearted here



If you can look in our eyes through the walls

Ignoring the fires will be hard to ignore

Cause they...

Always getting tired I can't seem to stay awake

Trying to run away from the other place

You left us to burn in here

Fuck this place I'm sick of this



It's hard for me to change the lies

When all the hate gets paralysed



We live in a world with pain for most

The worse thing you seek to hold the most

Would you hold on

Do you suffer it



Distance hurts me

Distance hurts me

Distance hurts me

Distance hurts me

I've never walked so far

I've never walked so far

I've never walked so far

I've never walked so far

I've never walked so far

I've never walked so far

I've never walked so far

WHITE KAPS LYRICS - Kids Song

WHITE KAPS LYRICS



"Kids Song"






tra la la boom d'e, went to pre-school today

i could not help to find, my teachers always lie

tra la la boom d'e, learned a new tune today

i think its kinda gross, and this is how it goes



three blind mice, three blind mice

see how they run, see how they run

you better watch out for the farmers wife

she'll cut off your tail with a butcher knife

ever seen such sight in your life as

three blind mice



tra la la boom d'e, went to high school today

i could not help to find, my teachers always lie

tra la la boom d'e, learned a new tune today

it really does fit thee, my teachers all told me



i could while away the hours, conferring with the flowers

consulting with the rain

with the thoughts you where thinking

you could be another lincoln,

if you only had a brain

i'd unravel every riddle, for any individdle

in trouble or in pain

i would dance and be merry

life would be a ding-a-derry



if, boom d'e, kicked out of school today

nobody liked me there, my teachers all were scared

tra la la boom d'e, i lost my chick today

she left me standing there, now it's my chance to say



on top of old smokey, all covered with snow

i lost my true lover, for courtin' too slow

for courtings a pleasure, and partings a grief

but a false hearted lover, is worse than a thief

for a thief will just rob you, and take what you have

but a false hearted lover, will lead you to the grave

the grave will decay, and turn you to dust

not one boy in a thousand, a poor girl can trust

he'll hug you and kiss you, and tell you more lies

than cross ties on a railroad, or stars in the skies



que sera sera, whatever will be will be

the future is ours to see, que sera sera

CONFLICT LYRICS - I Heard A Rumour

CONFLICT LYRICS



"I Heard A Rumour"






Time and time again we hear the same old rumours

Conflict doing this, Conflict doing that

Have you heard the one about Conflicts pacifism?

The message is swing on a baseball bat

Have you heard the one about the anarchist bust fund?

Really it goes to Conflicts beer fund

Buys Hoddy's smack, Colin meat pies

Did you know Mortarhate's really EMI?

Time and time again we hear the same old rumours

Conflict doing this, conflict doing that

I saw, I heard, guess what they done?

Got the punters to riot down in Brixton

They say they will bring the nation to its knees

But where were they when it went off in Leeds?

Is it true Colin bought his girlfriend a horse?

Owns a block of flats? Does a science course?

Heard about how they rip off bands?

A fiver expenses for touring the land

Said the money was going to ALF

Gave a carrot to the animals and pocketed the rest

Eight hundred gigs in just eight years

Said it caused hard work, blood and tears

They say our movement is been destroyed

It's just another Conflict ploy!

Time and time again we hear the same old rumours

Conflict doing this, conflict doing that

"The King's of Punk", are they so sincere?

Their chauvinist stance makes the answer clear

We are in it for the drugs, birds and booze

There ain't a dirty trick we wouldn't use



Well drop it, forget it, because you got it fucking wrong



And while I'm about it, should I sing it? Should I shout it?

Standing on the world's stage, the emotion the outrage

A target in the firing line for a slagging of a new age

And just as we attempted to spark a little hope

Trigger fingers started wagging, "you're just a fading joke"

You never wanted leaders, but you treated us as such

And then when we said "no more of this", who kicked away your crutch?

You accused us of hypocrisy and ripping people off

Who co-arranged Stop the City? Who told it was not enough?

Who's been nicked for animal raids, hunt sabbing, speaking out (so what)?

Oh yeah while I'm about it, should I scream or should I shout it?

All criticisms that you made, the song remains the same

The gathering down in Brixton, who was it who took the blame?

Blamed for causing riots, blamed for causing violence

Blamed by you for being born, then blamed for being silent



Drop it, forget it, you got it fucking wrong

THE BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE LYRICS - Burned Out And Broken In

THE BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE LYRICS



"Burned Out And Broken In"






i feel, like the one who can't break up

am i unwelcome, should i leave with all my doubt

i know, these feelings always pass

but tonight i'm all alone, should i just ask



i can't sleep with these objects closing in

i'm short of breath*

i'm tired, i'm tired of running

even my dreams, they seem to take effect

i'm losing it

i'm losing it



you say, you'll lighten up my load

my back is broken,

maybe i should just stay home

you say, you'll hold me in these times

so wrap your arms around me,

and ease my troubled mind



i can't sleep with these objects closing in

i'm short of breathe*

i'm tired, i'm tired of running

even my dreams, they seem to take effect

i'm losing it

i'm losing it

time steals my heart, feeling naked once again

i can't move i'm tired

tired of running (tired of running)

tired of running'

THE GET UP KIDS LYRICS - Newfound Mass (2000)

THE GET UP KIDS LYRICS



"Newfound Mass (2000)"






If I told you that I

was thinking of moving east,

would you save a place for me?

I'll come home

because it's worse that I expected.



A place in my heart

for my home to the west

where we'll watch the same sunsets,

and when I doubt...

I'll look east and lock my heart

in a brass box to newfound mass.

I'm breaking off but this is my home.



I'd do anything for you,

give you the world if I could.

Is that what you want me to do?

These bridges and boundaries are bringing me closer to you.

MAYDAY PARADE LYRICS - If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask

MAYDAY PARADE LYRICS



"If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask"






I'm throwing away pictures,

That I never should have taken in the first place

And it's cold in my apartment,

As I'm changing all the colors

From the brightest reds to grays



Well it's 3 o'clock on Monday morning

I'm just hoping you're not seeing his face

I've been getting calls in these hotel rooms,

Long enough to know that it was him

That took my place



And I hope this makes you happy now,

That the flame we had is burning out

And I hope you like your pictures facing down

As even broken hearts may have their doubts



And I'm burning all the letters,

Hoping that I might forget her and her bad taste

That she left, when she was leaving me

Alive but barely breathing as she walked

Out of this place



And you dropped the note and we changed key

You changed yourself and I changed me

I really didn't see us singing through this

Then you screamed the bridge,

And I cried the verse

And our chorus came out unrehearsed

And you smiled the whole way through it,

I guess maybe that's what's worse



And I hope this makes you happy now,

That the flame we had is burning out

And I hope you like your pictures facing down

As even broken hearts may have their doubts



And I'm taking all your memories off the shelf

And I don't need you or anybody else

So take a look at me,

See what you want to see

When you get home



Take me home,

I'd rather die than be with you

Take me home,

You have a problem with the truth

Take me home,

Because this happens every time

I knew it would,

I knew it would



Take me home,

I'd rather die than be with you

Take me home,

You have a problem with the truth

Take me home,

Because this happens every time

And I knew it would,

I knew it would



And I hope this makes you happy now,

That the flame we had is burning out

And I hope you like your pictures facing down

As even broken hearts may have their doubts



And I'm taking all your memories off the shelf

And I don't need you or anybody else

So take a look at me,

See what you want to see

When you get home

ATREYU LYRICS



"Nevada's Grace"






In this perfection I lament her beauty

Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade

In this perfection I lament her beauty

Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade



And all these words I could have would have should have said

Ring out like gunshots across long lost days

If that wasn't love then what the fuck was I thinking?

I would bear my soul just to bask in your grace

And your beauty, your strength inspires all of my days

I would carry any load just to bear your cross for a day



In this perfection I lament her beauty

Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade

In this perfection I lament her beauty

Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade



Your love fills me up when the blood in my body has drained

And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break



I'm built for pain I swore to let no one in and there you where a vision a beauty



It takes my breath away you took my breath away

And it takes my breath away how you took my

Breath away [2x]



How could I know that you would take my breath away? And

How could I know one kiss would change everything?



Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained

And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break

Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained

And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break

He's over there

Still in the corner

Where he sits and wonders of

Why he never bothers with

These little things

That really do matter like being alone

For a while

This time, it feels alright



Hey you, over there

Is gravity getting you down?

Hey you, on the other side

Is gravity getting you down?

That's why we're here

We understand.



That's why we're here

That's why we're standing

That's why we're here

Because we understand.

Understand...



Hey you, over there

Is gravity getting you down?

Hey you, on the other side

Is gravity getting you down?

Cause this time

It feels alright



That's why we're here

That's why we're standing

That's why we're here

Because we understand.

Understand...

PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES LYRICS - Cringe

PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES LYRICS



"Cringe"






Down the pub, pissed asleep, dope is working, dreaming about a girl so sweet.

I woke up, in a state, to find out, I've been touching up my mate.



[Chorus]

Ooh! What a cringe, I can't believe it's true.

Ooh! What a cringe, there's nothing I can do.



Tried to run, and leave this place, get away, get somewhere and hide my face.

I got up, to leave the scene, they all laughed, at the wet patch on my jeans.



I threw up, loads of beer, world is spinning, laughter ringing in my ears.

Woke up drunk, the next day, check the mirror, "Pissed cunt" written on my face.
