Tiny Voices - Lyrics - Stranger Than Fiction - Bad Religion

Title: Tiny Voices
Album: Stranger Than Fiction
Artist: Bad Religion
Composer(s): Greg Graffin

Lyric:
The brown and orange sky holds its breath
As the sun retreats to the distant horizon
And our hearts palpitate anxiously as we soon will lay supine
And wait for sleep to overcome us

And from somewhere in our dark
Subconscious minds when we're asleep
Comes a haunting swirling mass of voices resonating
It screams of forgotten victims and their cries of innocence
And their desperate plea for recognition and recompense

Tiny voices
Echoes of our heritage
Our long and sallow faces turn the other way
Tiny voices
Harbored deep within
As we outwardly deny that they have something to say
And if we don't confront them, they will never go away

The billions of tiny pinhole embers fade into a morning sky
Filled with poignant morose wonder
Waking a bear a cosmetic peace that verifies the turmoil
That we carry deep inside

And from somewhere in our dark
Subconscious minds when we're asleep
Comes a haunting swirling mass of voices resonating
It screams of forgotten victims and their cries of innocence
And their desperate plea for recognition and recompense

Tiny voices
Echoes of our heritage
Our long and sallow faces turn the other way
Tiny voices
Harbored deep within
As we outwardly deny that they have something to say
And if we don't confront them, they will never go away

Go away
Go away

Say Goodbye - Lyrics - Year Of The Rabbit

Title: Say Goodbye
Artist: Year Of The Rabbit
Composer(s): Ken Andrews

Lyric:
Tiny lights dance inside his eye
They dance with the care
Of snowflake flies
They talk all day and whisper all night

Is that anyway to live
Say goodbye
Accept this fate without any anger
Say goodnight
Turn out the light and close the door on your way out

Tiny voices inside his mind
They sing with the whine of Christmas time
An empty letter he could've left
Is that anyway to die
Say goodbye
Accept this fate without any anger
Say goodnight
Turn out the light and close the door on your way out

Tiny lights dance inside his eye
They dance with the care
Of snowflake flies
They talk all day and whisper all night

Is that anyway to live or die
Say goodbye
Accept this fate without any anger
Say goodnight
Turn out the light and close the door on your way out

Too Many Angels - Lyrics - Jackson Browne

Title: Too Many Angels
Artist: Jackson Browne
Composer(s): Jackson Browne

Lyric:
There's an angel on a ribbon
Hanging from the armoire door
There's a Cupid with his feet crossed
On the bird cage by the door

There's a baby angel drummer
His eyes are open wide
And two more tiny cherubs
On the mantle side by side

Too many angels
Have seen me crying
Too many angels
Have heard you lying

There are photographs of children
All in their silver frames
On the window sills and tabletops
And lit by candle flames

And upon their angel faces
Life's expectations climb
Where the moment has preserved them
From the ravages of time

Too many angels
Have seen me crying
Too many angels
Have heard you lying

Bring the morning on
(Voices sing of day)
I wanna step out in the morning sun
(Through the flood of tears)
I want this darkness gone
(Your sweet face appears)
Apparitions coming one by one
But there's no end in sight
Only the dead of night
And too many angels

Too many angels
Have seen me crying
Too many angels
Have heard you lying
Too many angels

Bring the morning on
(Voices sing of day)
I wanna step out in the morning sun
(Through the flood of tears)
I wanna greet the dawn
(Cast away these fears)
Forget about the things we could have done

Bring the morning on
(Voices sing of day)
I wanna watch the children as they run
(Through the broken years)
I want this darkness gone
(Your sweet face appears)
These apparitions coming one by one
But there's no end in sight
Only the dead of night
And too many angels
Too many angels

Too many angels
Too many angels

Whirlwind - Lyrics - New Model Army

Title: Whirlwind
Artist: New Model Army
Composer(s): Justin Sullivan, Robert Heaton

Lyric:
I felt a shiver in the heat-haze
The waiting time is over
Strange tongues on the airwaves
As the voices call from distant lands

I saw which was the winning side
But still I joined the other
And I'm in love with every strange unfolding day
As the storm begins to break cover

Let the whirlwind blow
Through the ice, the melting, melting snows
Let the whirlwind blow
Across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below
Let the whirlwind blow

And so we shutter up the doorways
As the ripples move towards us
For a moment stop breathing
She wakes and stirs beneath our feet

The order try to stand their ground
While every battlefront is shifting
Well, they still believe that they can hold the reins
But then they've got no sense of history

Let the whirlwind blow
Through the ice, the melting, melting snows
Let the whirlwind blow
Across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

Let the whirlwind blow
The waters seething, bubbling out of control
Let the whirlwind blow
Come on take my hand and we'll dive

A television blares in an empty room
The poisoned waters glisten
Goliath staggers round in a punch-drunk daze
Doesn't understand what hit him

I saw which was the winning side
But still I joined the other
And I'm in love with every strange unfolding day
As the storm begins to break cover

Let the whirlwind blow
Through the ice, the melting, melting snows
Let the whirlwind blow
Across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

Let the whirlwind blow
The waters seething, breaking out of control
Let the whirlwind blow
You wanna take my hand and go dive, dive, down, down

Let the whirlwind blow
Yeah, through the ice, the melting, melting snows
Let the whirlwind blow
Across the freezing skies until the lights go out below

Let the whirlwind blow
Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow
Let the whirlwind blow
We watch the oceans rise and the governments start to fall

Let the whirlwind blow
Across the freezing skies until the lights go out below
Let the whirlwind blow
Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow

World'S Cry - Lyrics - Thunderstone

Title: World'S Cry
Artist: Thunderstone
Composer(s): Pasi Antero Rantanen, Nino Laurenne, Mirka Kiril Kri Rantanen, Kari Ernst Tornack, Titus Hjelm

Lyric:
Hey you, close your eyes and listen
Can you hear the voices
It's the world that's calling your name

You live your life in your small tiny world
You don't care, you don't give a damn
But the time will recall what you've done

We have a vision, we have a destination
We are here for ourselves
These are the reasons, reasons for a fall
And this will be our call

Hey you, it's time to open your eyes
And see those things as they are
This is the fight you can't win

We are here in our small tiny world
We don't care, we don't give a damn
And the world will recall what we've done

We have a vision, we have a destination
We are here for ourselves
These are the reasons, reasons for a fall
And this will be our call

Can you hear the world's cry
And tell me why this pain we feed
Can you hear the world's cry
Can you hear the cry

Close your eyes and listen
Can you hear the voices
It's the world that's calling your name

Can you hear the world's cry
And tell me why this pain we feed
Can you hear the world's cry

Can you hear the world's cry
And tell me why this pain we feed
Can you hear the world's cry
Can you hear the cry

This Is Our Emergency - Lyrics - Pretty Girls Make Graves

Title: This Is Our Emergency
Artist: Pretty Girls Make Graves
Composer(s): Nicholas Dewitt, Jason Crowe Clark, Nathan Johnson, Derek James Fudesco, Andrea Nicole Zollo

Lyric:
When you've finally throw up your hand
Poured your heart out, yet nothing stands
It seems out efforts are wasted
But yet it hasn't been in vain

Unfulfillment is killing you
Seems like no one shares the same view
We may have never met but
It might you who pulls me through

Stand up so I can see you
Shout out so I can heart you
Reach out so I can touch you
This is our emergency

Baby you don't have to be a picture in a magazine
Sometimes you're to blind to see
Anything objectively
Just keep on doing your thing right now

Listen here take it from me, we're gonna do it differently
They'll follow when you start the lead
Strength in numbers is our key
Keep on doing your thing you do now

Don't forget that when you doubt
That anyone will care about
A thing you do and when you're lost
Someone else is always found
A thousand voices, are you listening?

The tiny spare that you create
It can inspire and duplicate and soon it spreads from state
To state from Williamsburg to Silverlake
A thousand voices, are you listening?

Wind-Up Toy - Lyrics - Hey Stoopid - Alice Cooper

Title: Wind-Up Toy
Album: Hey Stoopid
Artist: Alice Cooper
Composer(s): Jack Ponti, Bob Pfeifer, Vic Pepe, Alice Cooper

Lyric:
Voices come from down the hall
In my room, all painted white
I have my bat and rubber ball
I like to sleep with them at night

But now, I'm all smiles
The good little shots must be winning
Yes, they crank my dial
My motor is stalled but my wheels are still spinning

Daddy won't discuss me
What a state I must be?
Mommy couldn't stand
Living with a wind-up toy

All my friends live on the floor
Tiny legs and tiny eyes
They're free to crawl under the door
And, and someday soon, so will I

But now, I'm all smiles
These good little shocks must be workin'
I'm so happy now
Look, my fingers don't shake and my head isn't jerkin'

Daddy won't discuss me
What a pain I must be?
Mommy couldn't stand
Having such a wound-up boy

Doctors wanna check me
Poke me and dissect me
What do they expect, feelings from a wind up toy?
I don't think so, I'm just a wind-up toy
A wind-up toy

I'm lost in a nightmare, shiny white halls
Drawing rats on the wall
Solitary confinement, chained in a cell
Got my own private hell

Preacher crucifies me
Warden wants to fry me
I was never young
Never just a little boy

Daddy won't discuss me
Oh, what a pain I must be?
Mama couldn't stand
Having such a wound-up boy
I'm just a wind-up toy

I'm a wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy
Wind-up toy, wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy
Wind-up toy, wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up, wind-up
Wind-up, wind-up, wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy
Wind-up toy, wind-up toy

{You know they come here every night
I see them, don t you see them?
Hmm, thats odd, isn't it?
I'm so tired, I'm winding down
You'll have to go now, it's bed time
Demon}

Fake Palindromes - Lyrics - Mysterious Production of Eggs - Andrew Bird

Title: Fake Palindromes
Album: Mysterious Production of Eggs
Artist: Andrew Bird
Composer(s): Andrew Wegman Bird

Lyric:
My dewy eyed, Disney bride what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde
Monsters, whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide
Jesus, don't you know that you coulda died?
You should have died with the monsters what talk
Monsters what walk the earth

And she's got red lipstick, and a bright pair of shoes
And she's got knee high socks, what to cover a bruise
She's got an old death kit, she's been meaning to use
She's got blood in her eyes, in her eyes for you
She's got blood in her eyes for you

Certain fads, stripes and plaids, some singles ads
They run you hot and cold like a rheostat I mean a thermostat
So you bite on a towel, hope it won't hurt too bad
My dewy eyed, Disney bride what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde
With the monsters what talk, monsters what walk the earth

She says, I like long walks and sci-fi movies
You're six foot tall and East coast bred
Some lonely night we can get together
And I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
And drill a tiny hole into your head
And I'm gonna drill a tiny hole into your head

Movement Of A Hand - Lyrics - Fevers & Mirrors - Bright Eyes

Title: Movement Of A Hand
Album: Fevers & Mirrors
Artist: Bright Eyes
Composer(s): Conor Oberst

Lyric:
You follow the footsteps
Echoes leading down the hall
To a room, there's music playing
Tiny bells with moving parts
Here the shadows make things ugly
An effect quite undesirable
And the bold and yellow daylight
Grows like ivy across the walls

And it bounces off of the painted porcelain
A tiny dancing doll
Her body spins as she pirouettes again
The world suddenly seems small

On an off white, subtle morning
You stretch your legs in the front seat
And the road has made a vacuum
Where our voices used to be
An' you lay your head onto my shoulder
Pour like water over me

So if I just exist for the next ten minutes
Of this drive, that will be fine
And all these trees that line this curb
Would be rejoicing and alive

Soon all the joy that pours from everything
Makes fountains of your eyes
'Cause you finally understand the movement
Of a hand waving goodbye

Composer(s): Dia Frampton, Meg Frampton

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

Lyric:
His little whispers, love me, love me
That's all I ask for, love me, love me
He battered his tiny fists to feel something
Wondered what it's like to touch and feel something

Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the window

That night he caged her
Bruised and broke her
He struggled closer
Then he stole her

Violate wrists and then her ankles
Silent pain
Then he slowly saw their nightmares
Were his dreams

Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows

I will
Hear their voices
I'm a glass child
I am Hannah's regrets

Monster
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down
Murder ears with pillow lace

There's bathtubs
Full of glow flies
Bathe in kerosene
Their words tattooed in his veins, yeah

Hive - Lyrics - Hydroponic - 311

Title: Hive
Album: Hydroponic
Artist: 311
Composer(s): Chad Sexton, Doug Martinez, Nicholas Hexum

Lyric:
C-c-coming like a nightmare word like I'm gonna go for it
Fuckin' around what ya got to show for it?
Let it be know that I'm in the zone
And whatever I need I just pick up the phone

'Cuz I'm true with it, you're new with it
I just swing the thing and then I'm through with it
I don't need friends to act like folks
'Cuz I'm nick hex um the one who knows about things

'Cuz it takes two and we swings better than you
Then it's time for the dub so we roll out the club
And you know just what I do
I'm hitting in the freak mode, puttin' on a load sippin' on a guinny
Then lo and behold on a vision from bottom to top and I just can't stop

311 show them the air is rarefied
Don't give a damn 'cuz the groove is hellafied
Grew up punk, listen to the funk
I'm a hyper type of fella that does not touch junk

You're the back of the pack and the bottom of the stack
That's what you get when you're steady talkin' shit
Not goin' for self, shit is on the shelf
It's 95 and we go for the hive

Listen up this you're gonna bump to this
And if I'm feelin' mean I'm gonna clutch my fist
Now when I say mean, I mean I'm gonna rock it
You're gonna find out kid I'm 'bout to shock it

When I'm on I'm gone I hear the beat that spawns
The way we freak it and we kick up a storm
The day we turn to pop the show will stop
So feel the beat and get lost now

Back to part 2 the hard way we play
Sublime on time to all the fans I'm SA
And if you don't know I say check the show
Do what you got to on the dance floor

Some say the style is wack but I say fuck that
Get the hell back and watch us rock the set
We cast the mold bust it cold explode
Mega trendsetters known around the globe

Friends takin' you where you never been
We done what we wanted craftin' poems
You can rock there is a glow around you
Lose control Holmes just like we do

Hard to obtain brotha' what's my name
Mad to find unlike ya mamma and your masquerade
I drive a Mach-1 no dashboard Jesus
I hear voices say that's Doug Martinez

You're all up in my mix like fuckin' betty crocker
You think you're playing me but actually you're a jocker
You bad mouth me bitch man you givin' me juice
It ain't nothin' but a party everybody get loose

Notice what I don't do when stress steps to me
Whatever your complaint so sue me
I say fuck the naysayers and keep goin'
Gotta do what I gotta do to get the people glowin'

So let everybody gather the more the better
I represent the traveler him he's a shredder
At ease with yourself and don't try to please me
I'm just here today then quickly I'm out

On the town one light I'm a glow worm
For several hours wiggle jiggle like I'm a huge
Well can't appreciate a brothers love of funky music
You think I'm a silly rabbit 'cuz my style has tricks

Of the way I feel now I just got to rock
The music be poppin' through me like electric shocks
I think and blink and I wink but that shits not tiny
'Cuz in a blink of an eyelash you will not find me

You're the back of the pack and the bottom of the stack
That's what you get when you're steady talkin' shit
Not goin' for self, the shit is on the shelf
It's 95 and we go for the hive

School Night - Lyrics - Revelling / Reckoning - Ani Difranco

Title: School Night
Album: Revelling / Reckoning
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Angela Difranco

Lyric:
She went over to his apartment, clutching her decision
He said, ?Did you come here to tell me goodbye??
So she built a skyscraper of procrastination
And then she leaned out the twenty-fifth floor window for her reply

And she felt like an actress just reading her lines
When she finally said, ?Yes it's really goodbye this time?
Far below was the blacktop and the tiny toy cars
And it all fell so fast, and it all fell so far

And she said, ?You are a miracle but that is not all
You are also a stiff drink and I am on call, yeah
You are a party and I am a school night
And I'm lookin' for my door key but you are my porch light?

And you'll never know, dear just how much I loved you
You'll probably think this was just my big excuse
But I stand committed to a love that came before you
And the fact that I adore you is but one of my truths

What of the mother whose house is in flames
And both of her children are in their beds crying
And she loves them both with the whole of her heart
But she knows she can only carry one at a time?

She's choking on the smoke of unthinkable choices
And she is haunted by the voices of so many desires
She's bent over from the business of begging forgiveness
While frantically running around putting out fires

But then what kind of scale compares the weight of two beauties
The gravity of duties or the ground speed of joy
Tell me what kind of gauge can quantify elation?
What kind of equation could I possibly employ?

And you'll never know, dear just how much I loved you
You probably think this was just my big excuse
But I stand committed to a love that came before you
And the fact that I adore you is just one of my truths

And so I, I'm goin' home to please the one I so love pleasing
And I don't expect he'll have much sympathy for my grieving
But I guess that this is the price that we pay for the privilege of living
For even a day in a world with so many things worth believing in

Padraic My Prince - Lyrics - Letting Off The Happiness - Bright Eyes

Title: Padraic My Prince
Album: Letting Off The Happiness
Artist: Bright Eyes
Composer(s): Conor Oberst

Lyric:
I had a brother once
He drowned in a bathtub
Before he had ever learned
How to talk
And I don't know what his name was
But my mother does I heard her say it once

"Padriac, my prince, I have all but died
From the sheer weight of my shame
You cried but no one came
And the water filled your tiny lungs
Appear, my dear and cry for me
It's six years ago today
That I laid you in your grave
Your sweet young skin was shining then too"

So tonight to celebrate
I will, I will poison myself
Another coughing, shaking fit
In a bathroom that is spinning

And I close the door
And I rest my head on the tile floor
Sickness and sleep turning me cold
And I am still not sure
Is there some better place
I could be heading towards
Where the selfishly sick and self absorbed
Are welcome?

I saw the future once
I was drunk in a phone booth
My eyes were wet and red
But I could not tell what was said
And through the screams of the traffic
Voices carried saying, "I am sorry"

On a day so gray, it's black inside
Watching churches on TV
In a coma you don't dream
You just hope that someone sits with you
Babies turn blue when they're ignored
Like the sky on summer days
Before you turn and walk away
It has changed you

So tonight to compensate
I will, I will poison myself
Another coughing, shaking fit
In a bathroom that is spinning

Composer(s): Louis Robert Eliot

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

Lyric:
Candy deceit, the sweetest taste
Like forbidden fruit that I could not resist
She stole control out of my soul
Right out of my hands, I've already been sold

I've got no faith, I've got no shame
I lied when I said I won't be back again
Candy deceit I can't forget
You tasted so sweet

Voices inside, nowhere to hide from
Her tiny eyes they whisper love suicide
What I don't know I always miss so
You can lead me anywhere out of this

And in her eyes we saw the stars
And with her machine gun she's touching everyone

Candy deceit, the sweetest taste
Like forbidden fruit that I could not resist
She stole control out of my soul
Right out of my hands, I've already been sold

Colors Of The Sun - Lyrics - Jackson Browne

Title: Colors Of The Sun
Artist: Jackson Browne
Composer(s): Jackson Browne

Lyric:
Colors of the sun
Flashing on the water top
Echo on the land

Picking for a coin
Many other tiny worlds
Singing past my hand

Awake to understand
You are not dreaming
It is not seaming
Just to be this way

Dying men draw numbers in the air
Dream to conquer little bits of time
Scuffle with the crowd to get their share
And fall behind their little bits of time

Voices in the air
Sympathetic harmony
Coming from the trees

Hanging at my door
Many shiny surfaces
Clinging in the breeze

Oh, leave me where I am
I am not losing
If I am choosing
Not to plan my life

Disillusioned savior search the sky
Wanting just to show someone the way
Asking all the people passing by
Doesn't anybody want the way

I say goodbye to Joseph and Maria
They think, they see another sky
From my fallen window, I still see them
I'll never free them from the sky

Soldier &Amp; Child - Lyrics - Anything Box

Title: Soldier &Amp; Child
Artist: Anything Box
Composer(s): Claudio Marcelo Strilio

Lyric:
In the place that we call home
We always suffer
Many people seldom know
They waste their lives away

What they seem to hold inside
Their tiny fragile hearts
What they seem to whisper turned
Instead into a dream

Do you feel like a soldier?
Do you feel like a child?
The soldier is marching
The child begins to cry

The child begins to cry

Something out there calls to me
Can you hear the voices?
My existence can not be
There has to be a reason?

Always so near me
And always so clear
Always just loud enough to
Tear into my soul

Do you feel like a soldier?
Do you feel like a child?
The soldier is marching
The child begins to cry

The child begins to cry

Today, there's no way
We're going to live
Through out these loneliest of times
It fills my empty life

Do you feel like a soldier?
Do you feel like a child?
The soldier is marching
The child begins to cry

Do you feel like a soldier?
Do you feel like a child?
The soldier is marching
The child begins to cry

Do you feel like a soldier?
Do you feel like a child?
The soldier is marching
The child begins to cry

Do you feel like a soldier?
Do you feel like a child?
(The child begins to cry)
The soldier is marching
The child begins to cry

Tramp The Dirt Down - Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Title: Tramp The Dirt Down
Artist: Elvis Costello
Composer(s): Declan Macmanus

Lyric:
I saw a newspaper picture
From the political campaign
A woman was kissin' a child
Who was obviously in pain

She spills with compassion
As that young child's face in her hands she grips
Can you imagine all that greed
And avarice coming down on that child's lips?

Well I hope I don't die too soon
I pray the Lord my soul to save
Yes, I'll be a good boy
I'm trying so hard to behave

Because there's one thing I know
I'd like to live long enough to savour

That's when they finally put you in the ground
I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down

When England was the whore of the world
Margaret was her madam
And the future looked as bright and as clear
As the black tarmacadam

Well I hope that she sleeps well at night
Isn't haunted by every tiny detail
'Cos when she held that lovely face in her hands
All she thought of was betrayal

And now the cynical ones
Say that it all ends the same in the long run
Try telling that to the desperate father
Who just squeezed the life from his only son

And how it's only voices in your head
And dreams you never dreamt
Try telling him the subtle difference
Between justice and contempt

Try telling me she isn't angry
With this pitiful discontent
When they flaunt it in your face
As you line up for punishment

And then expect you to say "Thank you"
Straighten up, look proud and pleased
Because you've only got the symptoms
You haven't got the whole disease

Just like a schoolboy, whose head's like a tin-can
Filled up with dreams then poured down the drain
Try telling that to the boys on both sides
Being blown to bits or beaten and maimed

Who takes all the glory and none of the shame

Well I hope you live long now
I pray the lord your soul to keep
I think I'll be going before
We fold our arms and start to weep

I never thought for a moment
That human life could be so cheap

'Cos when they finally put you in the ground
They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down
