2*SWEET LYRICS - To See About A Girl

2*SWEET LYRICS



"To See About A Girl"






and i see my heart dripping from your pocket

it's so obvious that you're oblivious

can i have that back kid? i gotta hand it to you,

you really put your game face on

and you broke a heart that i thought was gold



so sing this song with me, because you wrote the words

so sing this song with me, because you wrote the words



and i hope you're happy, crusted over and indifferent

you wrote this song against my will

and my body's out of salt and this weight in my chest is sinking me slowly

you broke a heart i thought was gold



so sing this song with me, because you wrote the words

so sing this song with me, because you wrote the words



so let's drink this summer away and sing the words we'd never say

the fourteenth will never be the same

for reasons too sad to name (do it)



i'm racing myself to the bottom of the lake

where i can finally lay this all to rest, to rest



and i'm racing myself to the bottom of the lake

where i can finally lay this all to rest, to rest

all to rest

YOUTH BRIGADE LYRICS - The Circle

YOUTH BRIGADE LYRICS



"The Circle"






Arms starts flying and fists starts swinging, music starts ringing, the circle is formed

Heat starts building, sweat starts pouring, tension is mounting in the circle, beware!

In the middle of the circle you're all alone, look for familiar faces, none are around

Locked in a circle surrounded by lines, the point of departure cannot be found



In the circle - you cannot escape

The vicious circle - captures small and great



In this world we all know the only thing certain in life is death

Find some meaning to it all, the absurdity what can it mean

Can reality be just a dream

Or a nightmare, never ending

And we're pawns in the game

Resign yourself and accept the fact

The circle can't be broken, you know you're trapped

Faith in yourself is the only thing you've got

Remain the circle and we can make it stop

Believe you've got the power, it's something to see

We cannot build, set you free



From the circle - you must escape

the vicious circle - captures small an great



In this world we all know the only thing certain in life is death

Find some meaning to it all, the absurdity what can it mean

Can reality be just a dream

DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL LYRICS - Carry This Picture For Luck

DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL LYRICS



"Carry This Picture For Luck"






carry this picture for luck

kept in a locket

tucked in your collar

close to your chest

make it a secret

shown to the closest friends

and meet me at quarter to 7

the sun will still shine then

at this time of year

we'll head to the inlet

and we'll share a bottle there



and color the coast with your smile

it's the most genuine thing

i've ever seen

i was so lost

but now i believe



and follow me south of the big docks

they tether the boats

the rich men revere

as so important

they hire our fathers to steer

and down to the edge of the water

where we'll spill our guts

and we'll name our fears

i'll give you this picture

keep it and don't

be

scared



and color the coast with your smile

it's the most genuine thing

i've ever seen

i was so lost

but now i believe

and the coast

your smile is the most genuine thing

i've ever seen

i was so lost

but now i believe

now i believe

now i believe

now i believe

DEAD KENNEDYS LYRICS - Government Flu

DEAD KENNEDYS LYRICS



"Government Flu"






We got a drug

We're gonna try it out on you

Won't make you die

It'll getcha just a little bit sick

[Chorus:]

Got a head cold

Got a chest cold

And it's three days old

(Goin' on forever)

Make you hazy

Make you lazy

Drive you crazy

For days and days and days and days

And years



Barely got the time now

To stay on the job

Double up the dosage in your water supply

Make you even sicker 'til you're slippin' away

Getting all depressed It's getting all your friends

You can't get up

For nothing that'll rock the boat

The Government Flu

The Government Flu

The Government Flu



Slip it abroad

Keep a-slowin' down the USSR

But meanwhile

We'll keep an eye

On what it's doin' to you



[Chorus]



The Government Flu

The Government Flu

The Government Flu

Flew Through You

I am tired of your lies

Behind your false disguise

And I will never pay the price

One thing I know it's true

THE BLACK HALOS LYRICS - Fucked From The Start

THE BLACK HALOS LYRICS



"Fucked From The Start"






Well I'm a modern-day minority

Ain't got no culture or history

But what you get's really what you see



I've got 5-finger discount clothes

Bloody fingers and a runny nose

but this ain't the path I chose



[Chorus:]

'Cause I was fucked from the start

Like a modern piece of art

Standing on the corner out in the dark



Yeah I was fucked from the start

like a dirty needle in Pigeon Park

maybe I was just fucked from the start



I refuse to pay my dues

So fuck the world and fuck you too

don't waste my energy

'cause you aint got the bandages I need...



[Rep't Chorus]



I was fucked I was so fucked up

I was shit outta luck

It ain't my fault that the boy's gone nuts

I was just so fucked up



[Chorus:]

'Cause I was fucked from the start

I wanna tear myself apart

As I grab the knife and begin to carve



Yeah I was fucked from the start

I've got two black eyes and a blacker heart

maybe I was just fucked from the start

Baby I was fucked...

THE ERGS! LYRICS - Bridge

THE ERGS! LYRICS



"Bridge"






I had a dream about a bridge

It was tall, dark, mysterious

It made the waves below seem inviting

Not to jump in but to look at

And admire as I cross that bridge



There's so much history between

The country and the city

So much past before today

Thoughts march like soldiers

Across the surface

Scattered, losing focus

Keeping the bridge sane

CLASSIC CASE LYRICS - Sub Rosa

CLASSIC CASE LYRICS



"Sub Rosa"






Constant suffering

Surrounds us all as we dance in our arrogance

Cautiously we speak like

Pulling teeth as we swallow our tongues



So cry out with a rose in hand

Tear it in two it hung over you

Not to rest on graves or a lover's vase

But to keep us silent



Constant suffering

Surrounds us all as we dance in our arrogance

Cautiously we speak like

Pulling teeth as we swallow our tongues



So cry out with a rose in hand

Tear it in two it hung over you

Not to rest on graves or a lover's vase

But to keep us silent

We won't be silent



Blinding and deceiving

What they tell us is the half truth

In the autumn of our lives we decay



Blinding and deceiving

What they tell us is the half truth

In the autumn of our lives we won't wither in denial

So misleading when the answer is right behind you

In the autumn of our lives throw the rose away and bloom



Constant suffering

THE VIRUS LYRICS - The Very Last Day

THE VIRUS LYRICS



"The Very Last Day"






I can't say Where I've been

What I've done or what I've seen

But no one needs to walk this lonely road

All my life never tried

Left alone with all my lies

Empty hearts became my only home



If nothings changed

Then I'm to blame

It all feels the same The very last day

I made this bed

I'm gonna lie in it

It all feels the same The very last day

The very last day



One more bag - one more hit

One more time and then I'll quit

Everyday it gets a little worse

All my friends - ones I loved

Cut me loose and cut me off

When your thrown off the tracks it f**king hurts



If nothings changed

Then I'm to blame

It all feels the same The very last day

I made this bed

I'm gonna lie in it

It all feels the same The very last day

The very last day

HALIFAX LYRICS - Tonight

HALIFAX LYRICS



"Tonight"






I stand defeated as the world turns faster,

You're telling me, "It's worth the wait."

If you say so.

How much do I have to take?

To forgive all of my mistakes?



Heart's pacing,

I'm shaking.

Don't want to lose myself

Tonight

I walk right out the front door,

And they know that I'm fading,

But I'm not scared anymore.

Cause inside

My heart's not giving effort,

No more waiting, cause this time:

It's not gonna be like it was before.



It's like you're only here to make me suffer,

You swore to me you'd never lie.

If you say so.

I try to blast him off his feet,

But then it never comes too late.



Heart's pacing,

I'm shaking.

Don't want to lose myself

Tonight

I walk right out the front door,

And they know that I'm fading,

But I'm not scared anymore.

Cause Inside

My heart's not giving effort,

No more waiting, cause this time:

It's not gonna be like it was before.



So I've been told:

(Cause I've been?) bathed in gold.

I'm a sin in myself,

But I've made it through hell.

A traded pair of eyes,

Were my only disguise-

But I woke up from that dream,

To find the real me.



Tonight

I walk right out the front door,

And they know that I'm fading,

But I'm not scared anymore.

Cause inside

My heart's not giving effort,

No more waiting, cause this time,

It's not gonna be like it was before.



Tonight

My heart's not giving effort

Cause inside

It's not gonna be like it was before

Tonight

My heart's not giving effort

No more waiting, cause this time:

It's not gonna be like it was before.

It's not gonna be like it was before.

It's not gonna be like it was before.



It's not gonna be like it was before,

It's not gonna be like it was before.

COPELAND LYRICS - Chin Up

COPELAND LYRICS



"Chin Up"






With your eyes closed,

Watching a strange show

Play out in your head,

But you were smiling somehow

And your day froze,

And everyone in it

Sat still as a rose,

But we were moving somehow.



Back to where we started,

Losing who we were,

Maybe we should only

Tip a bottle back to keep us filled up.



Back to where we started,

Losing who we were,

Everybody knows that,

You’d break your neck to keep your chin up.



Open your eyes,

And the drops come,

And a snail raced down to your neck,

And looked up,

But you were smiling somehow.



Back to where we started,

Losing who we were,

Maybe we should only

Tip a bottle back to keep us filled up.



Back to where we started,

Losing who we were,

Everybody knows that

You’d break your neck to keep your chin up.

TEAM SPIDER LYRICS - Wait For The Dawn

TEAM SPIDER LYRICS



"Wait For The Dawn"






When the hurt comes faster

Than the sun

Take comfort in the words of a friend

When as you wait, for daybreak

And your mind

Wants to sleep



Remember to wait, for the dawn

Remember to wait, for the dawn



You're on a new clock now

Don't pay attention to the hours

It's just your system, making itself clean

With time

All will heal

And what you'll soon feel

It'll seem, just like a distant dream

RISE AGAINST LYRICS - Broken English

RISE AGAINST LYRICS



"Broken English"






our buildings have fallen, our walls all caved in,

and we can't comprehend this sad state that we're in

so we sift through the ashes of what we've become

and surrender here one by one, so push us down



and we get right back up again,

the things you're telling me aren't making any sense,

right back up again,

I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come



let the blind lead the blind,

cause it's eye for an eye

in your so called life,

are you out there? are you listening?

is there something we're still missing?



let the blind lead the blind,

cause it's eye for an eye,

we all fall down



and we get right back up again,

the things you're telling me aren't making any sense,

right back up again,

I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come



we're spinning out of control

we're trying to find somewhere to land

and I don't want you to know

the things that keep me down



cause we get right back up again,

the things you're telling me aren't making any sense,

right back up again,

I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come

NOFX LYRICS



"I'm Telling Tim"


Other versions of this song:

I'm Telling Tim from album "Fuck The Kids"





You better watch out, you better not cry (someone's watching)

You better put out records D. I.Y. (punk rock cops)

Cause it's not what you've done, it's what you've been

If you fuck up, I'm telling Tim



Take you out of Book Your Own Life part six (I don't count that)

You won't play again at ABC (I couldn't care)

You're gonna get ostracized like Lawrence

When I tell Tim, I'm telling Tim

I'm telling Tim, I'm telling Tim

FACE TOMORROW LYRICS - Wait It Out

FACE TOMORROW LYRICS



"Wait It Out"






Lay down your head

And try to get some rest

You've been through so much

you gave all you could



If I could only change

The way you feel today



So much pain and tears along the way

I just want to see you smile again



Pour your sorrow out on me

I'm not running I will stay



If I could only change

The way you feel today



Hear me out

You're not alone

Hear me out

Please don't let this cruel world bring you down



So much pain and tears along the way

I just want to see you smile again



This is not fair

But it is yours to bear

It will be calm when the storm lays down

For now just wait it out

SENSES FAIL LYRICS - Bite To Break Skin

SENSES FAIL LYRICS



"Bite To Break Skin"






So let me take this medicine

To quench my love for violent things

My swan song will

Be like a bullet laced in anger

As the razor cuts a soft spot

On your heel.



(Each breath) is getting slower

(This war) is getting harder

To fight by myself

(Sick waves) of bitter fashion,

(Ripped down) the shield that I have

Tears rain from above.



Do you see?

The life I lead?



So follow me into the sun,

And I will bleed, the poisons dry.



These bayonet scars never cease

To blind the light shed from the beast

And all we do is hate.



(Eyes shot) from constant visions.

(Angels) are rendered useless

Good has lost it's heart.



Do you see?

The life I lead?



So follow me into the sun,

And I will bleed, the poisons dry.



For you [x2]

(For you!) [x3]



Bite to break skin,

Don't give the secret,

My stoic face,

Beaten with passion

The phoenix will die

Inside the fire storm

I am the son

So follow my footsteps.

[x2]

This party's dying so guitar-me! (YEAH!)

Raise the glass to the guitarmy! (ALRIGHT!)

This party's dying!

INMEMORY LYRICS - Red Carpet Complex

INMEMORY LYRICS



"Red Carpet Complex"






I insist you be the star

the camera is rolling stand still so I'll capture this shot

Chemicals for our anxious hearts

baby I'm nervous, I can't wait until April falls



The greatest love story ever caught on film



Tension grows behind curtains

actors ask for water

why bother-love withers away

the villains prospered

the good guys lost her

the crowd remains anxious

we'll leave them all with open jaws



Credits in the end will reveal your name

behind this camera lens I will stay



Strange fiction

despite that I'm nervous and practically worthless



Is this the part where the hero dies?

I'm not one for credits, I'm finished so leave my name out

the villains prospered

the good guys lost her

It's tragic you missed it the camera was never turned on



Strange fiction

despite that I'm nervous and practically worthless

Strange fiction

cause you're nearly perfect and I remain worthless



Backstage the camera's not rolling

so I find this perfect time to say

you're his favorite extra

and I'm just your co-star



Strange fiction

despite that I'm nervous and practically worthless

And happiness is just a dream or so it seems

When I've got something beautiful to say

And stay awhile

THURSDAY LYRICS - Time's Arrow

THURSDAY LYRICS



"Time's Arrow"






The rain falls up and off the street

The clocks turn back in retreat

Footsteps fall off of our feet

I see the tears crawling off your cheeks

Turn back to pink

The slap got pulled right off of it

We all fall back into bed again



When you see what you've done

You want to take back

To take it back

You can't, you can't

And it's killing you



Doctor comes off the street

Stitch gets pulled out audibly

Mothers fall down in their seat

I can see time's arrow turning back to me

Children getting light

Disappear into a sign

We'll all rise like snowflakes in the sky tonight

PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS LYRICS



"Police Story"



Originally by Black Flag






This fucking city is run by pigs.

They take the rights away from all the kids.

Understand we're fighting a war we can't win.

They hate us, we hate them.

We can't win, no way.

Walking down the street.

I flip them off.

They hit me across the head with a billy club.

Understand we're fighting a war we can't win.

They hate us, we hate them.

We can't win, no way.

Nothing i do, nothing i say.

I tell them to go get fucked.

They put me away.

Understand we're fighting a war we can't win.

They hate us, we hate them.

We can't win, no way.

I got to court for my crime.

Stand in line, pay bail.

I may serve time.

Understand we're fighting a war we can't win.

They hate us, we hate them.

We can't win, no way.

PIEBALD LYRICS - We Believe In Karma

PIEBALD LYRICS



"We Believe In Karma"






We pulled it off right in front of your eyes

like it was magic

They'll find us dead for this

When you paint the town a lovely crimson red

just wait till you get home

They'll find us dead for this

They'll find us dead

They'll find us dead or smiling

The trash we were talking all last night

Or the compliments we sent

We will get what we deserve

Everything that goes around

It comes back around again

The trash you were talking all last night

Or the compliments you sent

You will get what you deserve

Everything that goes around

It comes back around again

Stop whispering if you're going to speak you better make it good.

DEVOTCHKAS LYRICS - Annihilation

DEVOTCHKAS LYRICS



"Annihilation"






We all know it's like a game

Pieces of flesh involved in pain

Day after day, same old thing

Try different lives but always the same

Have the time of your lives

One more day 'till another dies

We all know it's bound to come

But who would have guessed, the other side would have won



Playing life like a movie, everone's got their role

Some make it big, the others pay the toll



Time has come to stay alive

Annihilation of our kind

The scene is dying, maybe its dead

Just another fucker you wanna kick in the head

Try to find piece of mind

Keep on trying, its hard to find

People fuck you over the first chance they get

Never trust no one, my mind is set

Believe what you will, try believing in me

I'll tyr to take you ther to make you see

Stop the bull shit, enough is enough

Try to be so hard but I called your bluff.

DILLINGER FOUR LYRICS - He's A Shithead (yeah, yeah)

DILLINGER FOUR LYRICS



"He's A Shithead (yeah, yeah)"






The busdriver's on strike, he had to ride his bike again

I'm so sorry you're pissed about this

He's just a campus communist

You see, sometimes life's not convenient

They saw a chance to take power and they seized it,

Mr. fair-weather revolutionary

Is this your idea of compassion?

I thought one and one and one made revolutions?

If solidarity means nothing now

Then it never really did to you anyhow, dick

He says they're all lazy 'cause he doesn't have a clue

He thinks of the "workers" as just little boys and girls

So when real life hits the fan he will not recognize the stand

And so it's back into his sheltered little world.

Then he moans and he groans 'cause they chose to fight

I hope you freeze on your bike riding home tonight

Understand all of "these people" are someone

Try reading some of the books you're quoting from

Try checking your agenda just for something to do

Because I think you may find that "the man" just might be you

You are the mould and I realise all our ties.

We are the ghosts and we will fly over earth.



Amazing grace,

You slip all your fingers in my chest as you make yourself a raise.

Would you believe, when planets collide in our skies.

Your universe will come to an end over this.



Amazing grace,

You slip all your fingers in my chest as you make yourself a raise.

My saviour I choose.



Burn



Turn it all round and come back to back with me.

And now I've said it, it's time to make your alliance with your raise.

My saviour.

Go

Saviour.

Save yourself, save yourself, save yourself.

did you know that the kkk adopted a hiway?

just a few miles away from my mom's house.

they paid their money and they put up a sign.

DIA PSALMA LYRICS - Öga För Öga

DIA PSALMA LYRICS



"Öga För Öga"






Det ställdes inga frågor

Men det ställdes många krav

Vi lyssnade och vi tog emot

När ni ingenting oss gav



Vi stod där och såg på

När allting ändrades åt oss

Men ingenting varar förevigt

Allting kan brytas loss

Och vi kommer igen



[Chorus:]

Förändra min sång, och jag skriver en ny

Förändra mitt liv, jag får ändå ett nytt

Förändra allting ni kommer åt

Vi kommer ändå igen



Vi ställde alltid upp för er

Och ni fortsatte att ta

Vi fick väl kanske någonting

Men det var ingenting att ha



Och smällarna vi fick

Vi vände andra kinden till

Vi låtsades som ingenting

Men vi är ändå som vi vill

Och vi kommer tillbaks



[Chorus:]

Förändra min dikt, och jag skriver en ny

Förändra mitt språk, jag gör ändå ett nytt

Förändra allting som vi har gjort

Vi gör det ändå igen
