THE CLASH LYRICS - Stay Free

THE CLASH LYRICS

"Stay Free"

we met when we were in school

never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools

the teacher says we're dumb

we're only having fun

we piss on everyone

in the classroom



when we got thrown out i left without much fuss

an' weekends we'd go dancing

down streatham on the bus

you always made me laugh



got me in bad fights

play me pool all night

smokin' menthol



i practised daily in my room

you were down the crown planning your next move

go on a nicking spree

hit the wrong guy

each of you get three

years in brixton



i did my very best to write

how was butlins?

were the screws too tight?

when you lot get out

were gonna hit the town

we'll burn it fuckin' down

to a cinder



cos years have passed and things have changed

and i move anyway i wanna go

i'll never forget the feeling i got

when i heard that you'd got home

an' i'll never forget the smile on my face

'cos i knew where you would be

an' if you're in the crown tonight

have a drink on me

but go easy...step lightly...stay free

THE CASUALTIES LYRICS - Can't Stop Us

THE CASUALTIES LYRICS

"Can't Stop Us"

This is for the touring bands living on the road

The ones that travel non-stop from coast to coast

For the ones who do 90 shows in 90 fucking days

Then they go back and do it all again



Across the states

Around the world

We'll play it loud

You can't stop us!



This is for the bands that take a chance

Leaving their loved ones and dead jobs behind

For the fucking van that always breaks

Spending money fixing it more than taking care of my health



This is for the ones that break away

Losing fucking money over and over again

For the ones that take so much shit

From people who never leave their home state



For our friends in NYC

All the bands that we meet (on the streets)



This is for friends that still try hard

The many touring punk and skinhead bands

Life on the road can be so fucking hard

BRAND NEW LYRICS - Degausser

BRAND NEW LYRICS

"Degausser"

Goodbye to sleep,

I think this staying up is exactly what I need

Take apart your head

Take apart the counting, and the flock it has bred



Goodbye to love,

Well it's a ride that will push you up

Right against the wall

Take apart your head

Right against the wall

Chew it up and swallow it

[In background:]

(Does everybody really need to know everyone?

Do you really think you're really a part of it?

And is your army really one of some thousands?

And will you declare war on the loony bin?)



You burnt bright but you run out

I fell asleep at the incline

I can't shake this little feeling

I'll never get anything right



Goodbye you liar,

Well you sipped from her cup but you don't own up to anything

And you think you will inspire

Take apart your head

You wish I could inspire

Take apart the demon up in the attic to the left

[In background:]

(When I arrive will God be waiting and pacing around his throne?

Will he feel a little Old Testament?

And will he celebrate with fire and brimstone

Yeah, I admit, I am afraid of the reckoning)



Goodbye my love (You burnt bright but you run out)

You wait right here, and they will come and pick you up (Let's sleep at the incline)

I've been on pause but I'm shaking off the rust (I can't shake this tiny feeling)

I've lost my charge, I've been degaussed (I'll never say anything right)

I'm on my own, I've been degaussed (I'll never say anything right)

I'm on my own, I've been degaussed (I'll never say anything right)

I'm on my own, I've been degaussed (I'll never say anything right)

I'm on my own



Take me, take me back to your bed

I love you so much that it hurts my head

Say, "I don't mind you under my skin

I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in"

Well when we were made we were set apart

But life is a test and I get bad marks

Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins

The storm is coming, the storm is coming in



You burnt bright but you run out

I fell asleep at the incline

I can't shake this little feeling

I never did anything right, I'm on my own

I never did anything right, I'm on my own...



Take me, take me back to your bed

I love you so much that it hurts my head

I don't mind you under my skin

I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in

Well you're my favorite bird and when you sing

I really do wish that you'd wear my ring

No matter what they say, I am still the king

Now the storm is coming, the storm is coming in

HOT WATER MUSIC LYRICS - Russian Roulette

HOT WATER MUSIC LYRICS

"Russian Roulette"

(She lives like russian roulette. Barrel up to the head. Where every sweet young move is belonging to a sickness.) Now enter special things to detour all the pain, like a brand new, solid mess. But nothing seems to last... It strikes when you've thought you won. It's self destruction. It strikes when you've thought you won. And the delicate balance won't survive the turbulence. Now, enter the escape from everything you've made. Cause something wrong inside won't let you live your life. It strikes when you've thought you won. It's self destruction. It strikes when you've thought you won. And down you will go, with a tail of flames stretched out behind you. The cold wind will blind you. And in all that you can't see. The simplicity is beautiful.

THE FORCES OF EVIL LYRICS - Worst Day

THE FORCES OF EVIL LYRICS

"Worst Day"

Saw my face this morning, woke up to late again

Mirror shows me more than i can stand so i turn away

All the second prizes, all the compramises

slowly realizin' somethings wrong and i dont know why



I cant keep up this hopeless fight

I know ill never get it right



This is the worst day of my life ( wo oh )

This is the worst day of my life ( yeah yeah )



Use to dream of fortune, fame love and adventure

Use to hope for something, now i dream about not waking up

Thought i could be something, now i know im nothin'

All this time i waisted knowing I would someday fail



I just cant take another day

I wish i could make it go away



This is the worst day of my life ( wo oh )

This is the worst day of my life ( yeah yeah )



Today i realized

Today i found

Today it came to me

Today it all came crashing down

Today the truth was found ( wo oh )



This is the worst day... [x4]

This is the worst day of my life ( wo oh )

This is the worst day of my life ( yeah yeah )

FLOGGING MOLLY LYRICS - The Likes Of You Again

FLOGGING MOLLY LYRICS

"The Likes Of You Again"

Here's to you, I sing for my daddy-o

As I lay him down to sleep

It's been so long, since I lost my daddy-o

Hope he's watchin' over me



Wednesday night is mornin' now

As I'm walkin' in the rain

The birds are screaming in my ear

Drivin' me insane



Half the clouds are empty

So the sun burst through the sky

The puddles show reflection

Of a face about to die



Just around the corner,

I was goin' round the bend

I ran into a staggerin' fool

Who said he knew my name



He poured himself a whiskey

And his face began to glow

Two men without an answer

Like a dog without a bone



Bringin' in the new year

As the bells began to ring

Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing

Time to get another, before the final shout

You should have heard them roarin'

When they dragged the bugger out

And we'll never see the likes of you again



Jimbo came from slummin' town

A cold and dreary place

To summerland he found himself

The sun shun on his face



Met a girl called Minnie Pearl

Swore she'd always be his girl

Happy ever after, till the tide ran out again



Pour me all your sorrows

And I'll drink till you are dry

I'll love you in the mornin'

Christ, I'll love ya till you die



I'll never leave so never grieve

I'll be back before ya know

But Jimbo fell into a well

And never rambled home



Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin' bag

Back and forth through painted brick



The colours all seemed bland

I've traveled all these years, he said

To only get this far, so he crossed the street

Found a seat, his home is now a bar



And we'll never see the likes of you again

No we'll never see the likes of you again



There must be more to life, than this poxie life

All the agro, all the pain



So he disappeared into his final beer

But the glass was empty, once again, again, again



Woke up in an awful state

Dreamt I was at Peter's Gate

Beggin' for his mercy

And the crimes that were at hand



He told me he was much amused

To see this life I had abused

Best be on your way, but have a swig before you go



So I'm bringing in the New Year

As the bells began to ring

Fat's in the corner, she's just about to sing

Time to get another, before the final shout

You should have heard them roarin'

When they dragged the bugger out



And we'll never see the likes of you again

No we'll never see the likes of you again

No we'll never see the likes of you again

SAY ANYTHING LYRICS - The Man In Me

SAY ANYTHING LYRICS

"The Man In Me"

Originally by Bob Dylan

Featuring Chris Conley of Saves the Day

The man in me will do nearly any task,

And as for compensation, there's little he would ask.

Take a woman like you

To get through to the man in me.



Storm clouds are raging all around my door,

I think to myself I might not take it any more.

Take a woman like your kind

To find the man in me.



But, oh, what a wonderful feeling

Just to know that you are near,

Sets my a heart a-reeling

From my toes up to my ears.



The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,

But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.

Took a woman like you

To get through to the man in me.
