The Likes Of You And I - Lyrics - Levellers

Title: The Likes Of You And I
Artist: Levellers
Composer(s): Jonathan Sevink, Charles Kenton Heather, Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend

Lyric:
Do you ever stop to think from time to time
'Bout the way the world's been left behind?
In another place, in another time
We could maybe change the way we think
Take the blinkers from our eyes

Do you think that she was maybe not alone?
Do you think there's someone out there?
Do you think that they might know?
And if they don't do you think they should be told
'Cause she's living in a nightmare running out of her control

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes
Take the rope from 'round your neck
And take the blindfold from your eyes
Then you'll never be surprised
When they tell you that they love you
While they're eating you alive

Do you think you have the strength to carry on
Or has the black cat got your tongue?
Don't worry now the world's gonna be alright
'Cause the land has been here longer
Than the likes of you and I

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes
Take the rope from 'round your neck
And take the blindfold from your eyes
Then you'll never be surprised
When they tell you that they love you
While they're eating you alive

Do you think that she was maybe not alone?
Do you think there's someone out there?
Do you think that they might know?
And if they don't do you think they should be told
'Cause she's living in a nightmare running out of her control

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes
Take the rope from 'round your neck
And take the blindfold from your eyes

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes
Take the rope from 'round your neck
And take the blindfold from your eyes
Then you'll never be surprised
When they tell you that they love you
While they're eating you alive

Cut The Rope - Lyrics - Hurricane Bar - Mando Diao

Title: Cut The Rope
Album: Hurricane Bar
Artist: Mando Diao
Composer(s): Gustaf Erik David Noren, Bjorn Hans-Erik Dixgard

Lyric:
Bad boy Jimmy says where it?s at?
Down the hallway of kids playing flipper with the Jax
And the tax for the trench coat I bought
Measures up for the fines that we paid today

And for those who couldn't run away
Well they got beaten up and thrown in jail

And we never cut the hope
?Cause we never cut the rope

Here?s your money for all that I've done
E?s and lizards broken pistols and the promised about the sun
Get it on All this brag about us
Measures up for the shit that we wrote today

And for those who couldn't get away
Well they got beaten up and thrown in jail

And we never cut the hope
?Cause we never cut the rope

No the bastard?s on their way
Ooh they have been reading too much crappy but then again
I ain't that lucky bloke they've read about
I am a lone star cut it again, again, again, again, yeah

Bad boy Jimmy says how do you do?
Down the hallway of kids playing poker with the fools
And they loose every dime they've got
But it?s good for us ?cause we got paid today

And the brothers that can't get away
Well they got beaten up and thrown in jail

And we never cut the hope
?Cause we never cut the rope
And we never cut the hope
?Cause we never cut the rope

And we never cut the hope
?Cause we never cut the rope
And we never cut the hope
?Cause we never cut the rope

Skip A Rope - Lyrics - Jimmy Dean

Title: Skip A Rope
Artist: Jimmy Dean
Composer(s): Jack Moran, Glenn D Tubb

Lyric:
Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Listen to the children
While they play
Now ain't it kinda funny
What the children say

Skip a rope

Daddy hates Mommy
Mommy hates Dad
Last night you shoulda heard
The fight they had

Gave little sister
Another bad dream
She woke us all up
With a terrible scream

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Listen to the children
While they play
Now ain't it kinda funny
What the children say

Skip a rope

Cheat on your taxes
Don't be a fool
Now what was that they said
About a golden rule?

Well, never mind the rules
Just play to win
And hate your neighbor
For the shade of his skin

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Oh, listen to the children
While they play
Now ain't it kinda funny
What the children say

Skip a rope

Stab 'em in the back
That's the name of the game
And Mommy and Daddy
Are who's to blame

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Just listen to the children
While they play
It's really not funny
What the children say

Since I Met You - Lyrics - Supernatural - Dc Talk

Title: Since I Met You
Album: Supernatural
Artist: Dc Talk
Composer(s): Kevin Max, Toby Mckeehan, Michael Tait, Mark Heimermann

Lyric:
Was at the end of my rope, had nowhere to go
Was at the end of my rope, I had nothing to show
Until the day I turned to You, was at the end of my

What?
You talking to me?
You talking to me?
You call me crazy
You call me crazy
You call me crazy
You call me crazy

You call me crazy, man, you make my day
My state of residence was disarray
At every party and as far as anybody knew
Everything was cool

But the truth was bottled up inside of me
I was as lonely as a man could be
And my 200 friends couldn't fill the void in my soul
It was a giant hole

Nothing made any sense
I thought there would never be an end
Then love came knocking at my door

Since I met You, I've been alright
You turn all my darkness into light
Since I met You, I've been okay, I've been alright
(Ya know I've been alright)

Since I met You, I've been okay
You're rolling my winter into may
And since I met You, I've been alright
I've been okay
(Since I met you)
I've been okay
(Since I met you)

You got me feeling like a million bucks
Some people write it off as Irish luck
But I know better 'cause my rabbit's foot
Never did me a bit of good

The truth hit me like a sock in the eye
A revelation that I can't deny
Your love has overtaken every little part of me
You were what I needed

I'm carried away
Never seen the sunshine like today
You made something of my life

Since I met You, I've been alright
You turn all my darkness into light
Since I met You I've been okay, I've been alright
(Ya know I've been alright)

Since I met You, I've been okay
You're rolling my winter into may
And since I met You I've been alright
I've been okay
(Since I met you)
I've been okay
(Since I met you)

Was at the end of my rope, I had nowhere to go, go
Was at the end of my rope, I had nothing to show
Until the day that I turned to You

Was at the end of my rope, I had nowhere to go, go, go
Was at the end of my rope, I had nothing to show
Until the day that I turned to You
Was at the end of my rope

Yeah, that's right, I'm talkin' to you
Sick and tired
Sick and tired
Sick and tired
Sick and tired

Sick and tired of the same ol' fluff
You came along and You shook me up
You got me tripping on a vision of eternity
I can see it clearly

Since I met You, I've been alright
You turn all my darkness into light
Since I met You, I've been okay, I've been alright
(Ya know, I've been alright)

Since I met You, I've been okay
You're rolling my winter into may
And since I met You, I've been alright
I've been okay
(Since I met you)
I've been okay
(Since I met you)

Was at the end of my rope
(With nowhere to go)
I had nowhere to go, go
(Nowhere to go)

Was at the end of my rope
(With nothing to show)
Had nowhere to go, go, go
(I had nowhere to go)

Was at the end of my rope
(I had nowhere to go, come on
(I had nowhere to go, come on)

Was at the end of my rope
(Nowhere to go, come on)
(I had nowhere to go)
Was at the end, then I met you
(Nowhere to go)

My Father'S Gun - Lyrics - Tumbleweed Connection - Elton John

Title: My Father'S Gun
Album: Tumbleweed Connection
Artist: Elton John
Composer(s): Elton John, Bernie Taupin

Lyric:
From this day on I own my father's gun
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
I laid his broken body down below the southern land
It wouldn't do to bury him where any Yankee stands

I'll take my horse and I'll ride the Northern plain
To wear the colour of the greys and join the fight again
And I'll rest until I know the cause is fought and won
From this day on until I die I'll wear my father's gun

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
'Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men
(Aaa aaa aaa)
So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

As soon as this is over we'll go home
To plant the seeds of justice in our bones
To watch the children growin' and see the women sewin'
There'll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
'Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men
(Aaa aaa aaa)
All are there, all are there
(Aaa aaa aaa)
Slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
'Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men
(Aaa aaa aaa)
All are there, all I said
(Aaa aaa aaa)
Slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

Oh ho, I'd like to know where the riverboat, riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
'Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men
(Aaa aaa aaa)
All are there, all I said
(Aaa aaa aaa)
Slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

I'd like to know where the riverboat, riverboat, riverboat sails tonight
(Sails tonight)
To New Orleans well that's just fine, that's just fine alright
'Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men
(Aaa aaa aaa)
All are there
(Aaa aaa aaa)
So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans well that's just fine, that's just fine alright
'Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men
(Aaa aaa aaa)
All are there, all I said
(Aaa aaa aaa)
Slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

The riverboat sails tonight
That's just fine alright
(Aaa aaa aaa)
Ohh, slip us a rope
Sail on round, sail on round, sail on round, sail on round
(Sail)
Sail on round the bend
The riverboat sails tonight
All are there
That's just fine alright

Cherokee Bend - Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Title: Cherokee Bend
Artist: Gordon Lightfoot
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot

Lyric:
His father was a man who could never understand
The shame on a red man's face
So they lived in the hills and they never came down
But to trade in the white man's place

It was early in the spring when the snow had disappeared
They came down with a bag of skins
In the fall of the year of 1910
Daddy died by the rope down in Cherokee Bend

Daddy didn't like what the white man said
'Bout the dirty little kid at his side
Daddy didn't like what the white man did
Nor the deal or the way that he lied

There was blood on the floor of the government store
When the men took his daddy away
But the boy stayed back till he come to his end
And he run like the wind from Cherokee Bend

Now the mother was alone and the winter was at hand
And she prayed to her spirit kin
It was warm in the lodge in the Kentucky hills
On the day when the boy came in

Then a blizzard came down and it covered up the door
Till they thought that it never would end
And he told her the tale of the terrible affair
In the government store down in Cherokee Bend

Daddy didn't like what the white man said
'Bout the dirty little kid at his side
Daddy didn't like what the white man did
Nor the deal or the way that he lied

For three long days and three long nights
They wept and they mourned and then
She returned to her work and her weavin'
And they tried to forget about Cherokee Bend

Now the boy wasn't big but he hunted what he could
And they lived for a time that way
But the food run low and the meat went bad
And she said to the boy one day

I'm leaving tonight and I never will return
From the land of my Spirit Kin
You must take what you need and trade what you can
For a Red Man's grave down in Cherokee Bend

It wasn't very long till she closed her eyes
And he wrapped her in a robe
He found her a place on the side of the hill
And he buried her in the snow

Early in the spring he was seen in the town
With his load looking ragged and thin
Not a year had gone by till he stood once again
In the government store down in Cherokee Bend

He was ten years tall and a Redskin too
So he hadn't much face to save
And the men sat around and they laughed and they clowned
At the talk of a criminal's grave

Then the man from the east didn't smile when he said
You're the son of that Indian scum
If you value your hide then you better abide
By the white man's rules here in Cherokee Bend

Daddy didn't like what the white man said
'Bout the dirty little kid at his side
Daddy didn't like what the white man did
Nor the deal or the way that he lied

And he spit on the floor of the government store
And it served him to no good end
At the close of the day they had taken him away
To the white man's school down at Cherokee Bend

It's been 21 years since the boy disappeared
Where he run to, nobody knows
But they say he fell in with a man named Jim
And he rides in the rodeos

And they say he returns all alone to a place
Hidden deep in the Kentucky glen
And it's pretty well known who hauled up the stone
To the grave on the hill above Cherokee Bend

Daddy didn't like what the white man said
'Bout the dirty little kid at his side
Daddy didn't like what the white man did
Nor the deal or the way that he lied

There was blood on the floor of the government store
When the men took his daddy away
It was 1910 and they never had a friend
When he died by the rope down at Cherokee Bend

It was 1910 and they never had a friend
When he died by the rope down at Cherokee Bend

Rope Around A Fool - Lyrics - Elton John

Title: Rope Around A Fool
Artist: Elton John
Composer(s): Elton John, Bernie Taupin

Lyric:
I don't make the rules around here
A tear starts at the edge
It takes two hands to rip it
It takes a lot more than either one of us has said

But I come from indecision
A place you ain't never been
Living in the state of confusion
On a map that runs like the veins under your skin

We got miscommunication kicking out the stool
We got mass determination making up the rules
But saving us is something that we can't do
And it's easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool
Rope around a fool

And love is just another means
By which we hang ourselves
It takes two to execute
One to leave with innocence and one to leave with guilt

But I just see no reality
Just shades drawn on remorse
We've whipped this beast beyond the limit
Staggered out of breath along this course

We got miscommunication kicking out the stool
We got mass determination making up the rules
But saving us is something that we can't do
And it's easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool
Rope around a fool

It's easier to lose a rope around a fool
Easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool
A ring of your indifference thrown anywhere you choose
Easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool
Rope around a fool, hit it now

We got miscommunication kicking out the stool
We got mass determination making up the rules
But saving us is something that we can't do
And it's easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool

We got miscommunication kicking out the stool
We got mass determination making up the rules
But saving us is something that we can't do
And it's easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool

Rope around a fool, rope around a fool
Rope around a fool

Rope On Fire - Lyrics - Morphine

Title: Rope On Fire
Artist: Morphine
Composer(s): Mark Sandman

Lyric:
Hand over hand up the lifeline
Luckily the knots stay tight
Silhouettes of the two of us climbing
Climbing up a rope on fire, climbing up a rope on fire

Trapped in a room in a fortress
Running outta air to breathe
Only seconds to go and we'll break free
I didn't think that we would reach

Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb
And save ourselves before the oxygen is gone
I'll call for backup, you start to scream
It's not the first time we've been in this dream

She ripped the wings right off my back
She whispered deep, "Keep it on the track"
She said, "You're no angel, no angel anymore"

All the wheels are coming loose, close-up shot of a burning fuse
The sky is filled with question marks, will the chains come apart?
These few seconds that I've left to go, flames and chaos down below
And the earth opens wide, got to climb a rope on fire

Look at the clock, look at the clock
Make it to the car but the car won't start
Me try to move the car but there's no more time
We'll have to climb a rope on fire

Hand over hand up the lifeline
Luckily the knots stay tight
Silhouettes of the two of us climbing
Climbing up a rope on fire, climbing up a rope on fire

Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb
Then save ourselves before the oxygen is gone
I'll call for backup, you start to scream
It's not the first time we've been in this dream

The Rope - Lyrics - The Time Has Come - Martina Mcbride

Title: The Rope
Album: The Time Has Come
Artist: Martina Mcbride
Composer(s): Stephanie Davis

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
In waters calm I sailed from shore
To see what I might see
And having never sailed before
I drifted aimlessly

A warm breeze rocked my boat until
In slumber I fell sound
But woke to find the light grown dim
And dark clouds gathering 'round

In haste I worked at turning back
But now the wind blew wrong
And when the night came cold and black
My strength was almost gone

But with one last small thread of hope
I bowed my head to pray
Then through the dark I saw a rope
And heard a calm voice say

Grab the rope, hold it tight
In the distance shines a light
Neither fear nor feel alone
There is One who'll lead you home

I heard my heart beat loud and fast
But did as I was told
And with the rosy dawn at last
Dry land I did behold

I kissed the sandy banks and swore
My sailing days were through
But should I ever stray from shore
I know now what to do

Grab the rope, hold it tight
In the distance shines a light
Neither fear nor feel alone
There is One who'll lead you home

Grab the rope, hold it tight
In the distance shines the darkest night
No need to feel afraid
No need to feel alone
The One who knows our way will lead you home

Up In Indiana - Lyrics - It's Not Big It's Large - Lyle Lovett

Title: Up In Indiana
Album: It's Not Big It's Large
Artist: Lyle Lovett
Composer(s): Lyle Lovett

Lyric:
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin' 'bout a girl named Rose
Hair blonde as hay and long as a rope
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin' 'bout a girl named Rose
Hell don't care but heaven knows
I'm up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

Mama, say a prayer for your only son
God, forgive him, all the wrong he's done
All he ever wanted is to have some fun
And now he's up in Indiana till his time is done

Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin' 'bout a girl named Rose
Hair blonde as hay and long as a rope
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

I do a little thinkin' 'bout a girl named Rose
Hell don't care, heaven knows
I'm up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

She looked over 22
A man could drown in eyes so blue
And now I've got some time to kill
In a little town called Henryville

Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin' bout a girl named Rose
Hair blonde as hay and long as a rope
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

I do a little thinkin' 'bout a girl named Rose
Hell don't care, heaven knows
I'm up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

Working on the line ain't the life I know
Wish I was floatin' on the river
Out in the night [Incomprehensible]
Laying on the bank with a fishing bow
Instead of cutting this corn and losing my soul

Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin' 'bout a girl named Rose
Hair blonde as hay and long as a rope
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

I do a little thinkin' 'bout a girl named Rose
Hell don't care, heaven knows
I'm up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

Miles and miles as they march back
They lift their ears up to the sky
Standin' tall and satisfied
Like to try to run but I just might die

Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin' 'bout a girl named Rose
Hair blonde as hay and long as a rope
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

I do a little thinkin' 'bout a girl named Rose
Hell don't care, heaven knows
I'm up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

I do a little thinkin' 'bout a girl named Rose
Hair blonde as hay and long as a rope
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
I do a little thinkin' bout a girl named Rose
Hell don't care, heaven knows

I'm up in Indiana where the tall corn grows
Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows

Lyric:
Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn

When you walked into the room
You knew just what to do
You could have gone from door to door
But you knew just where to go to
Come into my velvet rope
And tell me fantasies

The passion in your voice I wanna hear
As you start to tell me
While you're at it take the blind fold
Tie it gently on me
Don't wanna see but feel the things
You're gonna do to me

Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn

One in the mornin'
I'm feelin' so free and sensual
Lyin' here wearin'
Just my imagination for you
Sensation will do
Can you feel the warmth of the
Candlelight embrace your body?
I'm feelin' the hot candle wax
Drippin' down the small of my back

Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a

Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn

Black Diamond Bay - Lyrics - Desire - Bob Dylan

Title: Black Diamond Bay
Album: Desire
Artist: Bob Dylan
Composer(s): Jacques Levy, Bob Dylan

Lyric:
Up on the white veranda
She wears a necktie and a Panama hat
Her passport shows a face from
Another time and place
She looks nothin' like that
And all the remnants of her recent past
Are scattered in the wild wind
She walks across the marble floor
Where a voice from the gambling room is callin' her to come on in
She smiles, walks the other way
As the last ship sails and the moon fades away
From Black Diamond Bay

As the mornin' light breaks open, the Greek comes down
And he asks for a rope and a pen that will write
"Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says
Carefully removes his fez
"Am I hearin' you right?"
And as the yellow fog is liftin'
The Greek is quickly headin' for the second floor
She passes him on the spiral staircase
Thinkin' he's the Soviet Ambassador
She starts to speak, but he walks away
As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches sway
On Black Diamond Bay

A soldier sits beneath the fan
Doin' business with a tiny man who sells him a ring
Lightning strikes, the lights blow out
The desk clerk wakes and begins to shout
"Can you see anything?"
Then the Greek appears on the second floor
In his bare feet with a rope around his neck
While a loser in the gambling room lights up a candle
Says, "Open up another deck"
But the dealer says, "Attendez-vous, s'il vous plait"
As the rain beats down and the cranes fly away
From Black Diamond Bay

The desk clerk heard the woman laugh
As he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got tough
He tried to grab the woman's hand
Said, "Here's a ring, it cost a grand"
She said, "That ain't enough"
Then she ran upstairs to pack her bags
While a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curb
She passed the door that the Greek had locked
Where a handwritten sign read, "Do not disturb"
She knocked upon it anyway
As the sun went down and the music did play
On Black Diamond Bay

I've got to talk to someone quick
But the Greek said, "Go away" and he kicked the chair to the floor
He hung there from the chandelier
She cried, "Help, there's danger near
Please open up the door!"
Then the volcano erupted
And the lava flowed down from the mountain high above
The soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the corner
Thinking of forbidden love
But the desk clerk said, "It happens every day"
As the stars fell down and the fields burned away
On Black Diamond Bay

As the island slowly sank
The loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room
The dealer said, "It's too late now
You can take your money, but I don't know how
You'll spend it in the tomb"
The tiny man bit the soldier's ear
As the floor caved in and the boiler in the basement blew
While she's out on the balcony, where a stranger tells her
"My darling, je vous aime beaucoup"
She sheds a tear and then begins to pray
As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away
From Black Diamond Bay

I was sittin' home alone one night in L.A.
Watchin' old Cronkite on the seven o'clock news
It seems there was an earthquake that
Left nothin' but a Panama hat
And a pair of old Greek shoes
Didn't seem like much was happenin'
So I turned it off and went to grab another beer
Seems like every time you turn around
There's another hard-luck story that you're gonna hear
And there's really nothin' anyone can say
And I never did plan to go anyway
To Black Diamond Bay

Skip A Rope - Lyrics - Pickin' On Nashville - Kentucky Headhunters

Title: Skip A Rope
Album: Pickin' On Nashville
Artist: Kentucky Headhunters
Composer(s): Jack Moran, Glenn D Tubb

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Skip a rope
Skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope

Daddy hates momma and momma hates dad
Last night, you should've heard the fight they had
Gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream
Skip a pope

Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now what was that they said about a golden rule?
Never mind the rules, just play to win
Hate your neighbor for the shade of their skin

Skip a rope
Skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope

Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of the game
Momma and daddy are who's to blame

Skip a rope
Skip a rope
Skip a rope
Skip a rope

I Think The Answer'S Yes - Lyrics - Beautiful South

Title: I Think The Answer'S Yes
Artist: Beautiful South
Composer(s): Dave Rotheray, Paul Heaton

Lyric:
I'm walking through these pastures
I'm picking up sweet fruit
I'm shaking hands with people
That previously I'd shoot

But nothing will dissuade me
Nothing will dilute
I want to execute
I want to execute

And you tend to meet a lot of scum en route
It doesn't mean you've joined the other side
And because I still wear shorts and my smile is oh so cute
It doesn't mean I'll run away and hide

To a world where the leaders finally confess
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
To the burning of the Stock Exchange and bombing of the press
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)

I think the answer's yes, yes, yes
I think the answer's yes

I'm walking through these corridors
Where crime meets pantomime
They're laughing and they're drinking
On the swill of overtime

And no one seems to know about
The death-wish that they've signed
Life's unkind
Life's unkind

And they see me as a potential new recruit
They rub their hands, slap their backs and smile
But I still wear suspenders underneath my business suit
So needn't worry about me for a while

So to a world without hunger, where royalty face death
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
To the breaking down of barriers of north, south, east and west
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)

I think the answer's yes, yes, yes
I think the answer's yes
I think the answer's yes, yes, yes
I think the answer's yes

And no one seems to know about
The death-wish that they've signed
Life's unkind
Life's unkind

Life's unkind
Life's unkind

From poor old U2 to poor old Simple Minds
No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class
Rope or gas, rope or gas, rope or gas
No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class
Rope or gas, rope or gas

The Guidelines - Lyrics - A Book Of Human Language (Accompanied By Mumbles) - Aceyalone

Title: The Guidelines
Album: A Book Of Human Language (Accompanied By Mumbles)
Artist: Aceyalone
Composer(s): Edwin M Jr Hayes

Lyric:
Let's begin
Asalaam alaikum, people of good will
I offer you the greeting of thought manifested skill
To finally reveal the open-end chapter
As real as the flesh that you're embodied in
To the skull cavity your mind is rotting in, I'll be riding in
And there might have been a slight, rotation warp to curve
The course of course, I'm cordial when I'm reportin'

I won't distort, I don't contort
Connect, conduct, collect, console or conceal
In full control of the roll of the wheel
My eyes are my appliance to decipher the science
Omitting defiance with the high-tech mic check
The buttons that flashed, I pushed for absolute destruction
Your structure is lifted from the ground
The foundation mound is broke, so you float around

I'm embedded in what is known as beat
Let it be shown, every enzyme is complete
In time, you'll see the pace of the pulse pump
Rapidly, heart rate, happily marched
I happen to be the dark man who holds the charts
I arch my horizontal line to make a rainbow
But it ain't the same though, yo
The tried and true pros are chasing fool's gold

Sliding through holes like small rodents
It's obviously evident, my embellishment peaks at two-ninety-two I.Q.
'Cuz Big Ace is the spinner, in the center
Inventor, and I plan to be a winner meaning
I'll be in the inner outer ovaries, overload, overboard
Overseas hearin' oversees more, than the eye
Can I stand, limited primitive, sentimentalist, escapist
The way I shape this landscape, automatically makes this, vivid
I give it a rivet, hold it, stand at the pivot

I love it, learn to live it, then give you my exhibit
Not inhibited, not even a little bit when I'm inclined
My attempts to redefine your hip-hop guidelines
And you can play the sidelines, write rhymes in your spare time
My attempts to redefine your hip-hop guideline
You can play the sideline, write rhymes in your spare time
'Cuz I'd rather stimulate your mind than emulate your purpose
And we have only touched on the surface of the serpent

Consider me part of the dust, in the dusk
I must collect the samples from the rust
Penetrate the crust then trust no living
Driven by the sonic, language passion
Your ashes spark the flashes, of the neon
From beyond, what kind of planet could I be on?
I don't know, but I'ma be on for eons, and eons
While many think that they can never play out
Get trapped in a time frame and never find their way out

I stay off the dramatization and I balance
Always seeking the challenge
To show the world the incredible talents
I cut the corners, smooth out the surfaces
Worthlessness is just half of the problem
I read the grid kid, I did every column
I note the animal kingdom, and the phylum
Whylum style 'em until they get to hit the target

I mark it on the bullseye, of flies and the buffalo wing in the sky
My architectnique sparks the dark streets of your resting ground
I suggest that you warn your town
I inhabit the oxygen, mark off the memory
You will never forget to remember the lone wolverine
Marine biologist machine with the verbal
Internal mind fertile, foot, over hurdle
Tight like girdle, and my word'll be the last

I incubate every other millennium
I fast and I hibernate, to pass any of 'em
I am potent, untraceable
No color, no odor, no taste, no replaceable parts
No heart, no head, just a carcass
The darkest days come, right before the light
I watch my watch and stand right before the mic
By the powers, vested in me, I digested MC's

Food for thought, caught on to the end of the rope and swung
Then stood stiff as if I was on a cliff
Not beneath sticks, my feet are made of bricks
When I walk my footprints indent cement
I am not practical nor am I unusual
Nor am I oblivious to, hideous crimes
Every city is captured and trapped in my mind

Given the spinal tap as the final rap climbs
My attempts to redefine your hip-hop guidelines
You can play the sidelines, write rhymes in your spare time
My attempts to redefine your hip-hop guidelines
You can play the sidelines, write rhymes in your spare time
'Cuz I have become the night owl on the prowl
Master of the free penpal style 'cuz I'm, om-nipotent

I'm, some, government experiment that is out of control
I'm from some big black hole
I square up, select, and rec'd every tangle
I flare up, and you can try, any angle
Even Bermuda, but I bury the barracuda
Then I'm, octagon in the wind with the pollen

Stuck Pig - Lyrics - Worship And Tribute - Glassjaw

Title: Stuck Pig
Album: Worship And Tribute
Artist: Glassjaw
Composer(s): Daryl Palumbo, Justin Beck

Lyric:
Lay down in this latrine in nailbomb
In the city of Molotov, in the province of gun
In a whole off the highway, in the land of two suns

Sometimes I get pissed when my blow goes like
A quickie in the snow

But I'm sure I'll go down inside, yeah
I chew the thorn when midnight gets too long
On the feet of a bastard
Alone in the sun for sticking in too long
On the feet of a dragon

Some cold nights the wind pipe's covered in dope
I pray it be covered in a rope

Me, me, me, grief, grief, grief, beat the heat
Me, me, me, grief, grief, grief, beat the heat

But I'm sure I'll go down inside, yeah
I chew the thorn when midnight gets too long
On the feet of a bastard
I chew the thorn when midnight gets too long
On the feet of a dragon

Some cold nights the wind pipe's covered in dope
I pray it be covered in a rope, in a rope, in a rope, in a rope

Lay down in this latrine in nailbomb
In the city of Molotov, in the province of gun
In a whole off the highway, in the land of two suns

Sometimes I get pissed when my
Grunt fuck, grin fuck, push her in the snow fuck
The dope fiend splashes gash like a nailbomb

Burning Rope - Lyrics - And Then There Were Three - Genesis

Title: Burning Rope
Album: And Then There Were Three
Artist: Genesis
Composer(s): Anthony Banks

Lyric:
The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze
The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
The words of love, the cries of hate
And the man in the moon who seduced you, then finally loosed you

You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the mob below
But you had put the flaming out so that others could now follow
To be out of the bounds and the barks
Of those who do not wish you well

You must blaze a trail of your own, unknown, alone
But keep in mind
Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal
The only survivors on this world of ours are

The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze
The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
The words of love, the cries of hate
And the man in the moon who seduced you, then finally loosed you

You're old and disillusioned now as you realize at least
That all you have accomplished here will have soon all turned to dust
You dream of a future after life
Well that's as maybe, but I don't know

But you can't take what you left behind, you're all alone
So keep in mind
Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal
The only survivors on this world of ours are

The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze
The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
The words of love, the cries of hate
And the man in the moon and now

It'S The Little Things - Lyrics - Brutal Planet - Alice Cooper

Title: It'S The Little Things
Album: Brutal Planet
Artist: Alice Cooper
Composer(s): Alice Cooper, Bob Marlette

Lyric:
You can burn my house, you can cut my hair
You can make me wrestle naked with a grizzly bear
You can poison my cat, baby I don't care
But if you talk in the movies, I'll kill you right there

It's the little things, it's just the little things
Aw, it's the little things, it's just the little things
Yeah, it's the little things that drive me wild

I'm like a mad dog, I'm on a short leash
I'm on a tight rope, hanging by a thread
I'm on some thin ice, you push me too far
Welcome to my nightmare, no more Mr. Nice Guy

You can steal my car and drive it into the lake
You can stick me in the oven and put it on bake
You could throw a big brick through my window pane
But if I ever hear you ask me how I got my name

It's the little things, it's just the little things
Aw, it's the little things, it's just the little things
Yeah, it's the little things that drive me wild

I'm like a mad dog, I'm on a short leash
I'm on a tight rope, hanging by a thread
I'm on some thin ice, you push me too far
Welcome to my nightmare, no more Mr. Nice Guy

I've done it all, I mean I been everywhere
I've been beaten, I been stabbed
I been hung, I been buried alive
And I can deal with that but it's the little things

I've done it all, I mean I been everywhere
I've been beaten, I been stabbed
I been hung, I been buried alive
And I can deal with that 'cuz it's the little things

It's the little things, it's just the little things
Yeah, it's the little things, just the little things
Aw, just the little things that drive me wild

I'm like a mad dog, I'm on a short leash
I'm on a tight rope, hanging by a thread
I'm on some thin ice, you push me too far
I'm just a psychopathic, psychopathic

I'm like a mad dog, I'm on a short leash
I'm on a tight rope, hanging by a thread
I'm on some thin ice, you push me too far
Welcome to my nightmare, no more Mr. Nice Guy

It's just the little things, aw, it's the little things
It's just the little things

Working In A Goldmine - Lyrics - Aztec Camera

Title: Working In A Goldmine
Artist: Aztec Camera
Composer(s): Roddy Frame

Lyric:
Our love's the sound of broken skies
Too blind to see what lies inside
We love what shines before our eyes
Why can't we learn what hides

Waiting on the last train
Flicking through the highlights
Livin' in a suitcase
Positively uptight

Kissing in the full moon
Drowning in the sunshine
Walking on a tight rope
And everything is gonna be just fine

'Cause I believe in your heart of gold
Automatically sunshine
Yeah glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine

And we believe that there's a heart beats on
In the dark of the close down
Yeah glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine

And time not tied is time to feed
We lose our pride, we spill our seed
The worst of us escape so slow
The best of us just goes

By waiting on the last train
Flicking through the highlights
Livin' in a suitcase
Positively uptight

Kissing in the full moon
Drowning in the sunshine
Walking on a tight rope
And everything is gonna be just fine

'Cause I believe in your heart of gold
Automatically sunshine
Yeah glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine

And we believe that there's a heart beats on
In the dark of the close down
Yeah glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine

They'll make you work for everything
Never let it roll, never let it swing
Take control and let your heart sing

Baby, every thing's gonna be alright
Positively uptight
Baby, every thing's gonna be just fine
And everything is gonna be just fine

Waiting on the last train
Flicking through the highlights
Livin' in a suitcase
Positively uptight

Kissing in the full moon
Drowning in the sunshine
Walking on a tight rope
And everything is gonna be just fine

'Cause I believe in your heart of gold
Automatically sunshine
Yeah glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine

And we believe that there's a heart beats on
In the dark of the close down
Yeah glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine

Waiting on the last train
Flicking through the highlights
Livin' in a suitcase
Positively uptight

Kissing in the full moon
Drowning in the sunshine
Walking on a tight rope
And everything is gonna be just fine

'Cause I believe in your heart of gold
Automatically sunshine
Yeah glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine
