LIFETIME LYRICS - The Verona Kings

LIFETIME LYRICS

"The Verona Kings"

It's when we find the sound we're after. The record seemed to skip and the singles way too short. The speakers pounding out the songs we'd love to do without. So I'll drag it down until it burns and you can practice taking turns. They don't hear it. They don't feel it. They can't see it. Turn it up. They don't hear it. They don't feel it. They can't see it. Turn it up. They can't hear it. Turn it up. They can't hear it. Turn it up. You keep talking out of tune boy. And money's still too tight. And the set was way too short. It seems we're finding out the creeps we'd like to do without. And they'll drag us down until it burns and we'll be counting lessons learned. They don't hear it. They don't feel it. They can't see it. Turn it up. They don't hear it. They don't feel it. They can't see it. Turn it up. They don't hear it. They don't feel it. They can't see it. Turn it up. They don't hear it. They don't feel it. They can't see it. Turn it up. They don't hear it. They don't feel it. They can't see it. Turn it up.

COCK SPARRER LYRICS - Anthem

COCK SPARRER LYRICS

"Anthem"

Give me your hopes, give me your dreams

Give me your conscience and your fears

I'll keep them safe, I'll hold them dear

And I'll believe in you



When you're blind I'll be your eyes

When you're weak I'll carry you

When hope is gone I'll pull you through

And I'll believe in you



[Bridge]

In darkest hours, in troubled times, through seas of fire and fields of lies

When all is lost in clouds of pain, I'll be your comfort and your guide



When all around the battles rage

Remember you were born to be free

I'm in your blood, your part of me

And I'll believe in you



[Bridge]



So when you need me there just call

When your back's against the wall

I'll never let you fall

And I'll believe in you

SOCIAL CODE LYRICS - Bomb Hands

SOCIAL CODE LYRICS

"Bomb Hands"

With a match in his hands

He breaks down the tallest buildings

He's a bomb and his fuse is always burning

Everything he touches always falls to pieces

The pain and the rage eases everything

I'm tied to your tragedies

I'm tired of your miseries

Swearing on me



Like your bomb hands

Like your bomb hands

Like your bomb hands get back

Get back



In the mirror I see reflections of your laughing

I'd get away but I'm handcuffed to his heartbeat

Everything he touches always falls to pieces

The pain and the rage eases everything

I'm tied to your tragedies

I'm tired of your miseries

Swearing on me



Like your bomb hands

Like your bomb hands

Like your bomb hands get back

Get back



Match to the flint to the fuse to the fuel

From the spark to the clock as the seconds start to drop

Match to the flint to the fuse to the fuel

From the spark to the clock as the seconds start to drop



Like your bomb hands

Like your bomb hands

Like your bomb hands

Like that like that

Like your bomb hands

Like your bomb hands

Like your bomb hands get back

Get back



Tock tick tock tick tock tick tock

HUSKER DU LYRICS - All Tensed Up

HUSKER DU LYRICS

"All Tensed Up"

Got these little pills

To curb your appetite

Take a couple of these

You'll be up all night

I can scream, I can jump, I can shout

I can tear the whole place down

When I take a couple of these

I don't want you around



All tensed up, did too many pills

Wanna get near you but I can't stand still



Baby, I love you, but I'm too loaded

To love you properly

JOE WILSON LYRICS - Stay Happy

JOE WILSON LYRICS

"Stay Happy"

I still believe you said everything

you ever said, cause you meant it

and not just because we were sharing a bed

and even though you needed me

its something you'll regret

i believe that we found something good

that day that we met

and i still haven't found a pair of jeans

that fit me right

and i keep seeing these crazy things, to try and take me for a ride

and it still hits me like a bag of bricks

each and every night

when i wake up to find that your not here to my right

so i'm saying a prayer that my feet don't fail

I was digging pebbles out from the palms of my hands

doing push-ups in the middle of two lane streets

from falling over walking with two left feet

yeah I'm falling down



cause i know that your happy to be rid of me

and i hope its gonna change your personality

cause when your laughing

its magnetic and amazing how it cuts through the static

so please stay happy if not for me

but for the sake of all the birds and trees and living things

that rely on, such vivid beauty to go on living



my downfall, you see where I'm stuck, is thinking how it could be,

and it turns my stomach, and my heart plummets

to think of what you're thinking of me

and i'm still figuring out just who i am

and who i can be

but all i know is that who i was

wasn't nearly me

and i was feeling down about who i was

what i couldn't be

so i lost my mind and i wasted time

feeling so guilty

so i'm singing this song in hope that you sing along,

and listen to what i'm saying

its a song that i made filled with steps i can take

to find something i can believe in

to believe in

so you trick your clothes to make you believe

this is really wrong inside this sleeve

its the same arm you use to hold

things that you consider gold

but inside your head

you know you've changed

but really who remains the same

you're distracting yourself

to make you believe

you change for the good man you're so naïve

so you say things that you don't mean,

like actors on a silver screen

until you realize the past is real

its really no big fucking deal

so you burn your clothes

and everything reminds you how you used to be



cause i know that you're happy to be rid of me

and i hope that its gonna change your personality

cause when your laughing, its magnetic

and amazing how it cuts through static

so please stay happy if not for me

but for the sake of all the birds and trees and living things

that rely on, such vivid beauty to go on living

and i still believe you said everything

you ever said, cause you meant it

WE THE KINGS LYRICS - Bring Out Your Best

WE THE KINGS LYRICS

"Bring Out Your Best"

And I’ll take you home and show you love

Under the sheets we’ll make this night seem like it’s way too short

Your hair rest gently on your chest

And girl I’m such a mess for falling into this



I place myself for you

‘Cause that’s all I can do



Make sure you know to bring out your best

We’ll make this last until the night it’s done

We’ll listen to the sounds of our hearts beating fast

We dove at first, just look at what we’ve done

We were right to be so wrong, this time



And I’ll lead you up the stairs

Your knees get weaker with a step

You’re taking to the room

Your cheeks plus redder that your lips

I feel your breath reach on my neck

You lock the door behind my back



I place myself for you

‘Cause that’s all I can do



Make sure you know to bring out your best

We’ll make this last until the night it’s done

We’ll listen to the sounds of our hearts beating fast

We dove at first, just look at what we’ve done

We were right to be so wrong, this time



Uh uh, lalala, uh uh

Uh uh, lalala, uh uh



Make sure you know to bring out your best

We’ll make this last until the night it’s done

We’ll listen to the sounds of our hearts beating fast

We dove at first, just look at what we’ve done

We were right to be so wrong, this time



And I’ll take you home and show you love

Under the sheets we’ll make this night seem like it’s way too short

(We were right to be so wrong, this time)

And I’ll take you home and show you love

Under the sheets we’ll make this night seem like it’s way too short

(We were right to be so wrong, this time)

ACE TROUBLESHOOTER LYRICS - But For Grace

ACE TROUBLESHOOTER LYRICS

"But For Grace"

Fire burns in the grate, the guilt burns in the breast of every prisoner, the guilty, the condemned.

Death is red on their hands, the galling chains reminding every minute, the law that was broken.

Silent as the grave, covering deeds, covering man.

Eyes that pierce and blaze, wounded hands stretching out to save.

Moonlit nights on their knees stifling screams ready to break from conscience, the voice of the innocent.

So the time marches on, the future melts into the past at last, the bitter reprieve.

Silent as the grave, covering deeds, covering man.

Eyes that pierce and blaze, wounded hands stretching out to save.

NOMEANSNO LYRICS - Life-Like

NOMEANSNO LYRICS

"Life-Like"

Life-like, a place to live and clothes wear

Life-like, starting here and ending there

Life-like, maximising time and space

Life-like, a happy smile upon my face

All this and so much more

Light floods the open door

Blood's rushing to my head

I'm standing on the edge of



Life-like, crawling up out of the slime

Life-like, standing in the check out line

Life-like, eyeing all the pretty girls

Life-like, dreaming of another world

Where are my freinds today?

What gannes shall we play?

In their hearts I can't see

Nothing looks back at me but life-Iike

A million souls await the call to rise and sing

They stand and fall while in the clouds the angels count the myriad things

Divinity and grace have etched like lines face of God

But here it's very odd

His miracles abound but they arg drown sound of tapping fingers



Life-like, a face for every double take

Life-like, the genuine, original fake

Life-like, in the lies you tell to me

Life-like, a reasonable facsimile

Open your hand to me

In your palm I can read

Long life and happiness

It's just like all the rest, it's life-like life

In the morning I walk beneath a shining

My steps reverberate in beat with the m humanity

Those murmuts fill my ears but the voice never heaf

As I walk along that busy street and though there's nothing to seek

The streak of the tears upon my cheeks are life-like

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE LYRICS - Fool In The Photograph

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE LYRICS

"Fool In The Photograph"

me and the fool in the photograph

a soul many times revealed

the scars only half concealed...



i wonder how many days i'll bleed

with the words i refuse to form:

now i will be free...

but lately, i refuse you

with these arms i will break through you

wait only to see you far removed



no more the fool in the photograph

that night chained in your embrace

day dawned and i saw your face



i wonder how many days i'll bleed

with the words i begin to form:

now i will be free...

lately, i refuse you

with these arms i will break through you

wait only to see you far removed



wasting time, you tell the story still

made you mind you're chasing the moon

making scars among the glory

still you're pulling down

wasting time, you tell the story

some kind of magic

i've waited here all too long...

LINK 80 LYRICS

"For The Crown"

Kiss inhibition goodbye, she blankly stared understandably scared

In some cellar of celibacy she yielded to me from my poetry

But the world's drying up now

Crapshoot for the crown



Blood and transpose moral, my one repent, drink enrage

She blew the conch of my consciousness, my futile distress, call up, be the downfall

But the world's drying up now

Crapshoot for the crown

THE PRIZE FIGHT LYRICS - Wrong From Day One

THE PRIZE FIGHT LYRICS

"Wrong From Day One"

It's funny how these things work out

But not to be taken lightly

They took him away from her and set us up for each other



Does it show that every time I thought of you

Was every time I wished her in my arms

Don't worry yet

In this moment you are gone and still I'm too afraid to tell her



Weeks are days

These days are ours

Our time is getting closer



Breaking down, not holding out

Shows that we're taking this lightly

Time flies by when you think you're in love

It's better that we stop and stay young forever



It never fails, how things will work out for us both in the end

You loved and lost, then figured out

Girls just can't break the bond between friends



Does it show that every night I spent with her

Never seemed so right to me at all

Don't worry yet

In this moment everything's fine cause I'm too afraid to tell her

THE NEW AMSTERDAMS LYRICS - The Death Of Us

THE NEW AMSTERDAMS LYRICS

"The Death Of Us"

I don't think that you're one of us

A coated chrome doesn't rust from the inside out

It's a ways down to ghost town



I don't think that you're serious

That alone could be the death of us

And the way we know, we move slow



I wanna like your way

It's hard for me to tell you wrong

I see it in your eyes

I don't think you could lie for long

Taken like a child

Sold the silver for us all

But you're gone



Mop the ground where the wound was bled

I pray to god that he'll strike you dead before I get back

Fear my wrath



The darkest suit but I wear it well with a smile

On the way to hell with your arms and legs bound

All the way down

KIND OF LIKE SPITTING LYRICS - On The Subject Of Her New Gold Star

KIND OF LIKE SPITTING LYRICS

"On The Subject Of Her New Gold Star"

We say I love you every time we hang the phone. But it's not like you're alone. A scene as awkward, but not really like an end. And it's not like we're just friends. So strange to really like him, so nice to see the joy that it brings. Right where you belong, not in these creepy songs with me. And when we hold that second longer chest to chest, I can feel your heart beating in your breast. To see your happiness is the truest gift. Like when you're on the phone with him and you bite your lip. So strange to change from a martyr into a person, did you know you always helped keep me from slipping? Right where you belong, not in these creepy songs with me.

BANNER PILOT LYRICS - Absentee

BANNER PILOT LYRICS

"Absentee"

Daylight in the east over Thunder Bay.

You laugh like you're crazy.

Wading through a drowsy communique

as I blow smoke off the second floor.

Scribble what you do, erasing what you'll quit.

Since you don't leave the house, I'm it.

You're a jigsaw puzzle but none of the pieces fit.



The Fuller House is a place to hide when traffic gets backed up outside.

Just close the blinds before they break your heart in two.

We block out the sun 'cause it shows too much;

there's bottles we've still never touched.

Nothing beats having nothing else to do.



Talking to the trees, remember what I said - "you're kind of amazing"

- and I still got your voice buzzing in my head

as I make the climb up Dorseto Hill.

Up a sleeping street and into 303.

Want more of you rubbed off on me

so for the summer months I'll just get marked absentee.

BUZZCOCKS LYRICS - Moving Away From The Pulsebeat

BUZZCOCKS LYRICS

"Moving Away From The Pulsebeat"

You said the things you did in the past

Were all because you're living too fast

But now I'm here you're taking it slow

You know what you know you know you know now

I only want to be with you

You do you do you do you do too

You do you do you do you do too

But I'm so happy just to be with you

I knew what you knew what you knew you knew too

Ah



You said that time you didn't love me

Although I'd been the cutest you'd seen

But would the past have changed even though

You know what you know you know you know now

I only want you by my side

Some kinds of pride I just can't hide

Some kinds of pride just can't be denied

But I know that oh no no no

THE FALL OF TROY LYRICS

"F. C.P. R.E. M.I. X"

Slow down this is slippin' through my mind,

This conversation has run out of time.

Honey I know you know what I mean,

And that's the one thing that you soon will find.



I know that you really wanna go,

My mind is runnin' outta gas just relax,

And recap, and relapse.

Tonight, my bodies jumpin' and I,

Go through the motions and I'm leaving on this journey,

Maybe someday I'll come running home to you.



I don't wanna see the day, my words cannot make it safe.

(Come running home! Come running home!)

Her heart in my hands, it's too bad, no regrets...

I don't wanna see the day, her tears are falling on my grave.

(Come running home! Come running home!)

This is my one chance to take back, no regrets...



Let's go! I just wanna let you know,

This situation leaves me outta breath.

We'll drive till the love that's in your eyes,

Drops to the ground and unravels like a thread...



I know that you really wanna go,

I only think about her, must get to her, cannot lose her.

You know that I will not let this die,

Life support systems and my mind on

Rewind and rewind and rewind...



I don't wanna see the day, my words cannot make it safe.

(Come running home! Come running home!)

Her heart in my hands, it's too bad, no regrets...

I don't wanna see the day, her tears are falling on my grave.

(Come running home! Come running home!)

This is my one chance to take back, no regrets...



I don't wanna see the day, my words cannot make it safe.

Her heart in my hands, it's too bad, no regrets...

I don't wanna see the day, her tears are falling on my grave.

This is my one chance (my one chance, my one chance)

DAG NASTY LYRICS - Still Waiting

DAG NASTY LYRICS

"Still Waiting"

these are the toughest days

the time is slow and the skies are gray

well this is the hardest time

to tell yourself to take your time

and it seems like a hundred years

since I thought it would all work out

seems like a hundred years

and I'm still here

I've got nothing but time

so I'm still waiting

yeah I'm still waiting

one time my eyes were wide

I couldn't wait until I could drive

everything in life was free

it was healthy, loud and honest

well it seems like a hundred years

but I guess it's been only ten

it seems like a hundred years

and I'm still here

FC FIVE LYRICS - The Phantom In The Depth

FC FIVE LYRICS

"The Phantom In The Depth"

I've roamed in the depth.

Spend spitting days.

Broken promise. Broken trust.

That hasn't changed right now.



Something in my heart.

I'll show you everything.

I know it's empty or disgusting of dark.



All I lost leaves me alone.

I've been finding the way to get it back. Get it back

All I lost leaves me alone.

I've been finding the tools to break down my conceit.



Nobody knows the way to escape from the jail of freedom.

I wanna be a sharp man.

I wanna set myself free.



So I've roamed in the depth.

I've left despair when I lost my destination.

I've always been full of hate and loneliness.

Break forth the phantom surrounding me.

Get back all I lost, I forgot.

Get back all I lost.

SHOOK ONES LYRICS - Breakfast For Dinner

SHOOK ONES LYRICS

"Breakfast For Dinner"

All under one roof, but the servants entrance for you

and we’ll lock that deadbolt.

On Tuesday night,

that’s what 70% of all those who should know better said.

Talk me through how verbs of connotation escaped you.

I need to understand how you can draw this distinction

Without reciting from your old book.

You know as I do that this is no place

To make believe the issue, or cite majority volition

It’s about principle, of which you all have none.

I dare you to make me understand how you think.

I believe there’s no way to reach you.

There’s no way to reach you.

Cause I don’t think there is any hope.

There’s no way to reach you.

Man on top: you will know and you’ll see

That forgiveness is a two way street.

So whoever you are, you’re gonna be out of luck

Talk me through how verbs of connotation escaped you.

I need to understand how you can draw this distinction

(it’s about principle of which you all have none)

Talk me through how verbs of connotation escaped you.

I dare you to make me understand.

Is there no way to reach you?

BURDEN OF A DAY LYRICS - The Mason

BURDEN OF A DAY LYRICS

"The Mason"

If I could know the way this ends

I'd then understand



I'll live what It is to be made from the best of you

Let my hands make movement for hearts of the tested few



If I could know the way

The way this ends

I'd then understand (wooh oh wooh oh oh)

If I could know the way (wooh oh wooh oh oh)

I'd see the glory in these hands



I'm placing stone upon stone but this castle Is falling faster than my hands

They're gained the west wall fall back to the stabies

Prepare for the last stand



I end here you start now

Like iron sharpens iron I will make you better you will make me

My best like sea salt to my skin without you

I am but a tasteless man



If I could know the way

The way this ends I'd then understand (wooh oh wooh oh oh)

If I could know the way (wooh oh wooh oh oh)

I'd see the glory in these hands



This is end this is end

This armor weighs but I will fight till I face the sky

If I could know the way (wooh oh wooh oh oh)



If I could know the way

The way this ends

I'd then understand (wooh oh wooh oh oh)

If I could know the way (wooh oh wooh oh oh)

I'd see the glory in these

STIRLING SAYS LYRICS

"A To D"

Up with the sun to try and seek a sign.

The perfect power that is the divine.

I say your name most every day,

with your power I will display.

What I wanted to say.

And from the scroll, I'll take the final line.

The perfect power that is arcane design.

I'll do everything I can, to make the fire flow from my hands.

It's what I wanted to say, it's what I wanted to...

I'll do everything I can, to make the fire flow from my hands.

It's what I wanted to say, it's what I wanted to.
