THE BRONX LYRICS - Ship High In Transit

THE BRONX LYRICS

"Ship High In Transit"

I believe I'm only human

I will rip and I will ruin

I believe nothing can stop me

No way - no God, no army



I believe my premonition

No desire, no position

No time left for wishful thinking

Cause we're not strong, the clock keeps ticking



I'll try not to look over my shoulder

Cause even the sun gets boring, we need the children's stories

Everybody wake up, don't say it's over



Be free, be blessed

Get more, give less



I believe I am a target

I believe I'm a target market

I believe the bottle's thinking

I'll never make it



But at least I tried



Cause in the end there's nothing

Don't hold your breath cause no one's coming

CARRY THE TORCH LYRICS - Searching For Alaska

CARRY THE TORCH LYRICS

"Searching For Alaska"

Please tell me how this is going to end

Because I can't see anything further than today

I thought I'd be dead by now

So let me sing you a song,

so we can both agree that I'm out of my mind



There's a million things running through my head,

but none of them are ever relevant.

It's true but it never stops

My entire life has been another time,

another place and another version of me.

I can't keep up. This world was not meant for me.



So I'll place my faith in what is real.

I'll never buy into the dream of self delusion.

The dream that keeps us all complacent

I'll never buy

into

the

dream



This is the art of the impossible,

the only thing I've ever known

Broken glass and empty promises

It's all I know, it's all I am



Watch it all fade



Be grateful you're not me.

Because everything I touch turns to stone

A CHANGE OF PACE LYRICS - I Wanna Be Your Rock & Roll

A CHANGE OF PACE LYRICS

"I Wanna Be Your Rock & Roll"

Now everybody put on your dance shoes

It's time we all got footloose

Just follow me

I'm making time to cut up the floor

It's in your eyes and I want so much more

That you're not giving



You're shaking this poor boy's world

Just put him out of his misery



Take me for a ride through devious eyes

And when I wake up tomorrow

These bed sheets tell lies no words can disguise

And I don't wanna wake up at all

Wake Up!



We're all sweating to the oldies now

The King's back for a night on the town

One thing on mind

Oh no I fell into your trance again

Your eyes are digging through my skin

And I want more



You're breaking this poor boy's mind

Just put him out of his misery



Take me for a ride through devious eyes

And when I wake up tomorrow

These bed sheets tell lies no words can disguise

And I don't wanna wake up at all



I wanna be your rock and roll for old time's sake

I know I said I hate those lies

But they're what keeps me coming back



I wanna be your rock and roll for old time's sake

I know I said I hate those lies

But they're what keeps me coming back

I wanna be your rock and roll for old time's sake

I know I said I hate those lies

But they're what keeps me coming back



Take me for a ride through devious eyes

And when I wake up tomorrow

Take me for a ride through devious eyes

And when I wake up tomorrow

These bed sheets tell lies no words can disguise

And I don't wanna wake up at all

Wake Up!

CITIZEN FISH LYRICS - Wet Cement

CITIZEN FISH LYRICS

"Wet Cement"

We went up to the building site

Saw the bricks and the concrete piles

And watched them all working

Building muscles and no-one smiled

We stood around and watched them

Staring back in complete contempt

I'm building a building

Signed his name in the wet cement



We walked through the cemetery

Social tombstones in black and grey

Someone had a bunch of flowers

Talking sentiments felt O. K.

We stood in the shadows

Feeling it was that time of day

When everything gloomy

Hits the light as it fades away



We came to conclusions

Knew that life was a paradox

So many illusions

Kept alive till the old ones dropped

Demolishing lifestyles

Building up all the tower blocks

If life is so sacred

Why spend it all in a man-made box?



We stared at the empty shells

Passed a smile and then cried a lot

While all this was passing by

No one stopped to see what they've got

They took it for granted

Used the space for a parking lot

We'll kick off the real world

Allocating the beauty spots

Industrial death camps

Man made something and then forgot

Knew what it should look like

Trod on nature and said "Well, why not?"



But you cannot replace it

Just take a photo and watch it rot

And bury the feeling

Till no-one knows what it really meant

Got caught in a landslide

And left a name in the wet cement

ROSEWAY LYRICS - Living In A Shadow Of A Doubt

ROSEWAY LYRICS

"Living In A Shadow Of A Doubt"

Back up your faith.



Back up your faith!



What are you so ashamed of?

What are you so ashamed of?

I will be ashamed of you.

What are you so ashamed of?

What are you so ashamed of?

I will be ashamed of you.



What are you?

FOOLPROOF LYRICS - After Dinner Mint

FOOLPROOF LYRICS

"After Dinner Mint"

You spill, you spilled your drink inside of me and

And I think I like it better being warm



You spill, you spilled your drink inside of me and

And I think I like it better being warm

Like a bullet, come on and dance in me



And tell me what you see inside

What's on the menu now?



Take my hand

And tell me what your waiting for

Tell me why you're waiting

So I know

And take my hand

And scream to me your symphony

So I know why you're waiting



And you rest to test the weight on top of me and

And I think just for you that I can bear it

Like a bullet, come on and dance in me

And still you see me bleed inside

I think I'm gonna take this down



Take my hand

And tell me what your waiting for

Tell me why you're waiting

So I know

And take my hand

And scream to me your symphony

So I know why you're waiting



One more shot and I'll be dead

Connect the dots inside my head

I said I'll try and get this done

One more grasp is all thats left

Scream at me until I'm deaf

I said I'll try and get this done



Take my hand and tell me what your waiting for

Tell me why your waiting

So i know

And take my hand

And scream to me your symphony

So I know why you're waiting, waiting



Take my hand

Tell me why your waiting

Tell me why your waiting



Take my hand

And scream to me your symphony

So I know why you're waiting



You spill, you spilled your drink inside of me and

And I think that just for you that I can bear it

Like a bullet you came and ripped through me

THE ARRIVALS LYRICS - White Hero Type

THE ARRIVALS LYRICS

"White Hero Type"

Who are you to break when you've been the rock

It's a shock, alright

It seems to me you backed down

You backed down

You backed down

And you folded



You called yourself the big white hero type

With a gripe

Oh right

It seems to me you backed down

You backed down

You backed down

And you folded



We've got a way of weeding you out

We've got a way of bringing you down, way down

Where they'll never hear a sound

The egg on your face will crack through your hide

And you'll know

We're right

JIMMY EAT WORLD LYRICS - If You Don't, Don't

JIMMY EAT WORLD LYRICS

"If You Don't, Don't"

What's wrong baby,

Don't they treat you like they should?

Did you take 'em for it?

Or every penny that you could?



We once walked out on the beach and once I almost touched your hand.

Oh how I dreamed to finally say such things then only to pretend.



Don't you know I'm thinkin',

(Know I'm thinkin')

drivin' 405 past midnight.

You know I miss you.

(Don't you know that I miss you?)

Ninth and Ash on a Tuesday night.



I would write to you from museum mile,

A toast to you: your whisper, your smile.

Up the stairs at Weatherford,

A ghost each place I hide.



If you don't don't know, why'd you say so?

Would you mean this please if it happens?

If you don't know, why would you say so?

Won't you get your story straight.

If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?

Cause I need this now more than I ever did.

If you don't, well, honey, then you don't.



I left you waiting,

(I know I left you waiting)

At the least could we be friends?

Should have never started,

(Never started)

Ain't that the way it always ends?



On my life I'll try today,

There's so much I've felt I should say, but.

Even if your heart would listen,

I doubt I could explain.



If you don't don't know, why'd you say so?

Would you mean this please if it happens?

If you don't know, why would you say so?

Won't you get your story straight.

If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?

Cause I need this now more than I ever did.

If you don't, well, honey, then you don't.

If you don't, well, honey, then you don't.



So here we are now, a sip of wine a sip of water.

Someday maybe, maybe someday we'll be smarter.

And I'm sorry that I'm such a mess, I drank all my money could get and,

took everything you let me have and then I never loved you back.



If you don't don't know, why'd you say so?

Would you mean this please if it happens?

If you don't know, why would you say so?

Won't you get your story straight.

If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?

Cause I need this now yeah need this, need this.

If you don't, well, honey, then you don't.

If you don't, well, honey, then you don't.

If you don't, well, honey, then you don't.



If you don't know, honey, honey, then you don't.

PUNCHLINE LYRICS - Much More

PUNCHLINE LYRICS

"Much More"

When I was younger, I thought that the world revolved around me. Everybody was just a character in my little life story. Now I'm older and a bit smarter, I can see that I'm nothing. I wish I could go back, but I know I can't, to thinking that I'm everything. Much more than I expected, I was not prepared for this. I grew up too quickly and now I see that things don't always work out right. I don't understand, but that's life. My brother and sister would go out on friday nights, I would sit home and watch TGIF. They never came home, but I didn't have to deal with the things that they did. I miss not caring at all. I miss not worrying.

DONKEY PUNCH LYRICS - Left Behind

DONKEY PUNCH LYRICS

"Left Behind"

It seems your life is changing

Constantly rearranging

And nothing stays quite the same

Remember how things used to be

Were you so different than me

Now I've got nothing to say

You're not the first you're not the last

Who's been stranded in the past

Don't look up don't look back

Caught up on the narrow track

And everything is fine

You're no more friend of mine

It seems so natural

That you'd be left behind

Don't know what you're looking for

Don't know just what you might find

This time I had to go

And you've been left behind

Can't say where you went wrong

Can't say what happened to your mind

It seems I used to have a friend

Could this be where it's gonna end

Take a look now can't you see

How different you've become from me

And what will we say?

Fuck you I'm going away

CURSIVE LYRICS - Vermont

CURSIVE LYRICS

"Vermont"

Staring up at stars

From the back seat of a stationwagon

Carving the night

Trees keep marching by

Light poles blur into a stream

Blazing laser beams



All...

These...

Stars....



My thoughts are trivial pursuits

My heart's a bomb that's been defused

What now?



There's no more use for me

I'm wasting energy

Muscles are weaklings

Thoughts just defeat me

Numbness is effortless

I could get used to this



Driving through Vermont

Overwhelmed by the insignificance

My conscience was my crutch

For a heightened existence

This other wordliness



These...

Schoolboy...

Lies....



I've been deprived reality

Brought up by holy ghosts and saints

What now?



I'm the delinquent here

I'm the contagious one

This heart is hopeless

I feel the numbness

All Hail The Atheist

I could get used to this

I could get used to this

I could get used to this

I could get used to this

ACE TROUBLESHOOTER LYRICS - Only You

ACE TROUBLESHOOTER LYRICS

"Only You"

Fall down on my face, I trip toward my retreat

Seeking Your embrace

Blindly I find that I need only You

More, more, more for me, me, me

Bought into their mentality

Eyes opened wide

I'll be transformed by the renewing of my mind over time



Discomfort comes clearly when I lose my gaze

Brought back into righteousness suddenly



Take a dip in the pool of grace

A refreshing touch that lifts my face

Then rest easy in Your arms

Laugh in the face of any harm



Sit and watch the world go by

Wonder at the reason why

And how they can ignore the One

Who gives us life when all is said and done

GREEN DAY LYRICS - Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

GREEN DAY LYRICS

"Why Does It Always Rain On Me?"

Originally by Travis

I can't sleep tonight

Everybody saying everything's alright

Still I can't close my eyes

I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights



Sunny days

Where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Why does it always rain on me?

Even when the sun is shining

I can't avoid the lightning



I can't stand myself

I'm being held up by an invisible man

Still life on a shelf when

I got my mind on something else



Sunny days

Where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Why does it always rain on me?

Even when the sun is shining

I can't avoid the lightning



Oh, where did the blue skies go?

And why is it raining so?

It's so cold

I can't sleep tonight

Everybody's saying everything's all right

Still I can't close my eyes

I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights



Sunny days

Where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Even when the sun is shining

I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue skies go?

And why is it raining so?

It's so cold

Why does it always rain on me?

Why does it always rain on....

ANTI-HEROS LYRICS - Some Fun

ANTI-HEROS LYRICS

"Some Fun"

Spend the daytime in the sun, spend night time at the club Some fun! Some fun!

We always have a laugh We're never holding back, some fun! some fun!

Cars lights flashing by running all around, I'm not gonna tell anybody, 'bout what i found

Someone gets in my way, There will be a fight but tonight I got my girl, and you know that's right

Another Nazi's coming around, lets run him out of town Some fun! Some Fun!

My girl with another guy, i gave him a black eye Some fun! Some fun!

Roadtrip with 20 guys, to another show, we got there and it was cancelled, wouldn't you know

All the people all of the beer, always worthwhile, When you're having a good time, you're always in

Sailing drunken through the town, run that old lady down, Some fun! Some fun!

Just when thought we'd won, she pulls out her gun, Some fun! Some fun!

Throwing bottles at cars, smash in their windows, Will I remember this tomorrow? Who fucking knows

All the girls that think they're great, they put on airs Do they have any brains, who fucking cares

THE BOYS LYRICS - Monotony

THE BOYS LYRICS

"Monotony"

When I saw you, walking down the street

You looked the kid of girl, I`d like to meet

The way you fit inside that dress

How was I to know your mind was such a mess

Monotony that`s what you are

Monotony you take it too far

You bore me, you bore me to tears

One day with you seems like years

From all accounts you`ve been that way

Since that day that you were born

Excuse me little girl, I`m about to yawn

JETS TO BRAZIL LYRICS - The Frequency

JETS TO BRAZIL LYRICS

"The Frequency"

The terror of the view,

the emptiness of this room,

always writing against this truth,

in the way that a painter

must have a surface to hit.



The paint is flying now,

breaking the silence at the speed of sound.

Hitting the frequency,

she's reaching back at me.

Warm and loud,

Warm and loud,

Beautiful demons fly out.



And we're fighting for our lives,

to fill the corners up with light.

Black spell casting against them now,

in the way that a bullet

will go until it is stopped.



And all the medicine

went to my head again.

Late last night,

my bed of saccharine,

my bad amphetamine,

I was lit from within,

burning with means and ends.



And the city life is like sugar high,

knocking me out, keeping me wired.

It's incredible,

unsteady chemicals

come and go the ebb and flow.

When the measure of your work is the measure of your worth,

then you better make it work.



There's some people I could name,

but it's not the time or place

to split hairs with the guys downstairs.

They'll get their fair share I'm sure.

The frequency is gonna take us there.



And the city kids,

the angry with-it kids,

hate everything the first time.

It's incredible,

the kind of chemicals

knocking aroud in my mind.

In the winter of my night I found a desperate kind of light,

and nothing comes without a fight.



You want to know

where the good thoughts grow,

but you ought to know

where all the good thoughts go.



You can't afford to miss a day.

Call in sick, you better stay that way.

Stay that way.

TRAGEDY LYRICS - Force Of Law

TRAGEDY LYRICS

"Force Of Law"

blindly followed out of fear, out of

desperation for something more than this

the remnants of a life once significant

the remnants of minds once thoughtful

the remnants of hopes once realized

the force of law, the defeating of all life

the defeating of all life, defeat, defeat

kept in line for years and years

patience, obedience, clenching fists

the force of law, the defeating of all life

the defeating of all life, defeat, defeat

the pressure's mounting, shown in our vacant eyes

hardened by never ending stares and obstacles

unsurmountable, unsurmountable

blindly followed out of fear

blindlow followed history

blindly followed out of obedience

blindly followed out of fear, fear, fear

AFI LYRICS - I Am Trying Very Hard To Be Here

AFI LYRICS

"I Am Trying Very Hard To Be Here"

Before you came what was your name? Did you look like me?

No one's from here, no one my dear, not even the trees.

So change your name, just keep your face. We're temporary anyway.

Before you came we played this game in our masquerade.



Flash, Flash, Car Crash

we're no fixtures.

Quick, now, Quick take our picture!



What was your past?

When was the last time that you recall someone you knew

was someone who asked nothing of you?



So lose your past. I'm sure you'll find it's in the way all the time.

Before you're through you're someone who looks a lot like you.



We can't remember the seasons

We chant in the manmade snow.

We can't recall the feelings that we cannot show.

THE NERVE AGENTS LYRICS - Frost

THE NERVE AGENTS LYRICS

"Frost"

Awake to the morning... frost

Retract from the day

I feel no hope

Here hideaway

The fallout remains

Tuck me away throw me away

end me today

Our trek tot he light may encounter darkenss

Grinning it

Suffocates, annihilates

We fall prior

Spinning slow to get up?

Dare you let the frost settle upon you

It's a cold hard world out there

Don't end

..begin!



Summon your strength

From the hell that's been cast on you

Hopelessness clutches and twists your soul

you will succumb

If you let it get to you

It's a cold hard world out there



Don't end... begin!



Summon your strength

From the hell that's been cast on you

...can you?

when it has you...

When it has you...

Can you summon the strength?

Begin!

LIGHTYEAR LYRICS - Shatners Bassoon

LIGHTYEAR LYRICS

"Shatners Bassoon"

Tomorrow we'll take a momentary glance

And see the smiles

And see the friends

And feel the good intentions of

A stranger on a stranger street

A Kappa kid gives up his seat

I know that we'll get there in the end

(It's not that easy)



Retain this outlook

The rest of your life

And the threats are much smaller

Your reasons are right

I don't understand it

I don't understand

I don't understand it

I don't understand

You thought the answers were echoes

When you called out your name

I think we need some help



Tomorrow we'll take a momentary glance

And see the smiles

And see the friends

And feel the good intentions of

A stranger on a stranger street

A Kappa kid gives up his seat

I know that we'll get there in the end

(It's not that easy)



Retain this outlook

The rest of your life

And the threats are much smaller

Your reasons are right

I don't understand it

I don't understand

I don't understand it

I don't understand

I don't understand it

I don't understand

I don't understand it

I don't understand

I don't understand it

I don't understand

I don't understand it

I do not understand

"Postcards From Home"

If you could see

in the dark hallways old lights flicker

stobelight shows of gurneys silver and rust

refrigeration stalled

when the fuse box blew

the medicine needed to save you

holding tight to a weapon

in the place of a toy or your mother's hand

white diamonds red earth i

t's slavery understand

home now is the place

between right and this

the blast still sings t

he bullets blaze

the target missed

atrocity calmly

in your narcotic bliss

this last harvest of our innocence



holding tight to a weapon

in the place of a toy or your mother's hand

white diamonds red earth is slavery understand



postcards from post colonies,

post kingdoms

progress twisted

from sea to sea



postcards from post colonies

post kingdoms

progress twisted for you and me



you can't walk

the light will follow you

you can't walk away

because you're so conditioned (like me)

you can't walk away

this land will follow you

you can't walk away

'cause this is home

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS LYRICS - Move Along

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS LYRICS

"Move Along"

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking

When you fall everyone stands

Another day and you've had your fill of sinking

With the life held in your

Hands are shaking cold

These hands are meant to hold



Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when your hope is gone

Move along, move along just to make it through

Move along

Move along



So a day when you've lost yourself completely

Could be a night when your life ends

Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving

All the pain held in your

Hands are shaking cold

Your hands are mine to hold



Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when your hope is gone

Move along, move along just to make it through

Move along

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)



When everything is wrong, we move along

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong, we move along

Along, along, along



When all you got to keep is strong

Move along, move along like I know you do

And even when your hope is gone

Move along, move along just to make it through

[x3]



(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

Right back what is wrong

We move along
