Plastic Man by Seether


I am a plastic man, wish I can be the one you could be proud of.
I'm losin heart again, wish I could show you what you think I'm made of.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade.

I am a perfect sell, just wrap me up with a bow and flowers.
I will neglect to tell, I'll sell your story that we love each other.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I'll sing my last refrain.

Why don't you let me be, and I'll pretend I'm well.
Cuz you're blind to see, and I'm too tired to tell.
And in your apathy, your head begins to swell.
Another tragedy, but you're too cold to feel.

Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I'll sing my last refrain

I'm Shipping Up To Boston by Dropkick Murphy's

I'm a sailor peg
And I've lost my leg
Climbing up the top sails
I lost my leg!

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping off...to find my wooden leg

I'm a sailor peg
And I've lost my leg
Climbing up the top sails
I lost my leg!

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping off...to find my wooden leg

flogging molly - "Tobacco Island"

[Chorus]
All to hell we must sail
For the Shores of sweet Barbados
Where the sugar cane grows taller
Than the god we once believed in
Till the butcher and his crown
Raped the land we used to sleep in
Now tommorow chimes of ghostly crimes
That haunt Tobacco Island

'Twas 1659 forgotten now for sure
They dragged us from our homeland
With the musket and their gun
Cromwell and his roundheads
Battered all we know
Shackled hopes of freedom
We're now but stolen goods
Darken the horizon
Blackened from the sun
This rotten cage of Bridgetown
Is where I now belong

[Chorus]

Red leg down a peg
Blistered burns the soul
The floggings they're a plenty
But reasons there are none
Our backs belong to landlords
Where branded is there name
Paid for with ten shillings
Cheap labor never breaks
The silver moon is shinin'
Cools the copper blood
Where the livin' meet the dead
And together dance as one

[Chorus]

Agony, will you cleanse this misery?
For it's never again i'll breathe
The air of home
From this sandy edge
The rolling sea breaks my revenge
With each whisper a thousand waves
I hear roar
I'm coming home

Dark is the horizon
Blackened by the sun
This rotten cage of Bridgetown
Is where I now belong

[Chorus]

Melissa Etheridge - "I've Loved You Before"

I think of how you know me
No doubts, no thinking twice
When your smile can be so soothing
A familiar paradise
When there's no one else that makes me whole
I have never needed more
I get this feeling I've loved you before

We were lovers in an army
Marching all for Rome
Side by side in battle
Did we bravely leave our home?
Did I hold you in my arms
As you were taking your last breath?
Did shout to all the gods
That I would love you beyond death?
I swear I've loved you before

Did we hide in the dark ages
From a vengeful god above?
Were our names too unfamiliar
To ever speak of love?
Did I cling to every moment with you
In every parting glance?
An accidental touch
Did we ever take the chance?
I know I've loved you before

Have I wandered through the desert?
Have I looked and learned all the stars?
Have I rode the days and nights on rails
To get back where you are?
And every time I foundered
It's your eyes I know for sure

When I think of how you know me
No doubts, no thinking twice
When your smile can be so soothing
A familiar paradise
When there's no one else that makes me whole
I never wanted more
I get this feeling
I know I've loved you before

I know I've loved you before
I've loved you before

Yellowcard-Paper Walls
Clicky for song.
Clicky again for lyrics/analysis.

Let's burn a hole
so we can climb out
Of these paper walls
and this empty house
Don't listen too close
their words are like guns
With bullets that fly
and kill what you've won

Let's burn a hole
so we can climb out
Of these paper walls
and this empty house
Where the only thing that's real
is visions we have of ten years ago
Of stars in the sky and us down below
With streets and these coast lines
We kept this scene alive

Here I am
Still hold on
to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now
You will never be alone

Don't listen too close
their words are like guns
With bullets that fly
and kill what you've won
Some love to hate
and some tell you lies
So let's make a toast
and kiss them goodbye
We'll kiss them all goodbye

Here I am
Still hold on
to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now
You will never be alone
Here I stand
Won't turn back again
Won't let go
Know how hard its been
Hear me now
You will never be alone

Let's take what hurts
and write it all down
On these paper walls
in this empty house
And when our ink runs out
we'll burn it to the ground

Here I am
Still hold on
to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now
You will never be alone
Here I stand
Won't turn back again
Won't let go
Know how hard its been
Hear me now
You will never be alone
Yeah

Headlock by Imogen Heap

Distant flickering, greener scenery.
This weather's bringing it all back again.
Great adventures, faces and condensation.
I'm going outside to take it all in.

You say too late to start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know you're better than this.

We're a different pair, do something out of step.
Throw a stranger an unexpected smile...with big intention.
Still posted at your station.
Always on about the day it should have flied.

You say too late to start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know you're better than this.

Afraid to start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know you're better than this.

Been walking, you've been hiding,
And you look half dead half the time.
Monitoring you, like machines do,
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye

I've been walking, you've been hiding,
And you look half dead half the time.
Monitoring you, like machines do,
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye
So what, don't care, will not, the end

You know you're better than this

I'll make you start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know you're better than this.

Afraid to start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know you're better than this.

Still Alive-GLaDoS (From the Portal Soundtrack)

Forms FORM-29827281-12:
Test Assessment Report


This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
still alive

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think i prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else
to help you
Maybe Black Mesa...
THAT WAS A JOKE. (HAHA) FAT CHANCE.
Anyway. this cake is great.
It's so deliciously moist.
Look at me still talking
when there's Science to do
When i look out there.
it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
still alive

PS: And believe me I am
still alive.
PPS: I'm doing Science and I'm
still alive.
PPPS: I feel FANTASTIC and I'm
still alive.

FINAL THOUGHT:
While you're dying I'll be
still alive.

FINAL THOUGHT PS:
And when you're dead I will be
still alive.


STILL ALIVE

[Meridianland]

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated

Nothing to do
Nowhere to go oh
I wanna be sedated

Just get me to the airport
And put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I cant control my fingers
I cant control my brain
Oh no oh no oh no

(Repeat 4x)
Bam bam bam bam ba
Bam bam bam bam
I wanna be sedated

[The Smurfs]

La, la, la, la, la, la, sing a happy song
La, la, la, la, la, la, Smurf the whole day long

(whistle) - Smurf along with me
(whistle) - simple as can be

Next time you're feeling blue just let a smile begin
Happy things will come to you so Smurf yourself a grin

(spoken) "Ooh, I hate Smurfs! I'll get you, I'll get all of you, If it's the last thing I'll ever do!"

La, la, la, la, la, la, now you know the tune
La, la, la, la, la, la, you'll be Smurfing soon.

"Long Line Of Cars"

There's a long line of cars
And they're trying to get through

There's no single explanation
There's no central destination

But this long line of cars
Is trying to get through

And this long line of cars

Is all because of you

You don't wonder where we're going
Or remember where we've been

We've got to keep this traffic
Flowing and accept a little spin

So this long line of cars
will never have an end

And this long line of cars
Keeps coming around the bend

From the streets of Sacramento
To the freeways of L.A.

We've got to keep this fire burning
and accept a little gray

So this long line of cars

Is trying to break free

(drawn out words)
And this long line of cars
Is all because of me
This long line of cars
Long line of cars
Long line of cars
Long line of cars

oingo boingo - new generation

People raise your voices, don't get caught in that mess
Like a fly in a spider's web, is it true more is less
Herded like a happy flock to the big T.V. slaughter
"Why don't you break that leash," said the heifer to the sheep

It's a new generation
It's a hallucination
It's a mystic vibration
It's just intimidation
It's the will of the people
It's the church with the steeple
It's the sacred devotion
To an unhealthy notion

People raise your voices, don't get into that trap
If your friends and your neighbors push
Why don't you push them back
Don't you think the time has come
To stand up and be heard
Ain't no use to try and wait
For the magic word

It's a new generation
It's an infatuation
It's a beautiful body
Both erotic and deadly
It's the fear of the future
It's just surgeons and sutures
It's a spandex obsession
It's a lasting impression

Do you feel the power
Do you feel the power

Baptized in electronic water
Prodigal sons and beautiful daughters
With smiles and bows and rosy cheeks
And the righteous bath
Death to the freaks
Do you feel the power
Do you feel the power
From the man whose voice sounds reassuring
Completely firm and so alluring, Like's he's lived a thousand times before
And seen the world from shore to shore
With the calmness and tranquility that oozes credibility
With the wisdom and the confidence that seem to scream out common sense
And it makes you feel just like a babe
Daddy holding you tight and safe
Hush babe everything's all right, Daddy's gonna stay with you tonight
Now he's got you by the balls, he can sell you anything at all
From morality to diamond rings to genocide to magazines
From religion to cosmology to the end of a democracy

It's a new generation
It's a divine inspiration
Always ready to follow
Ever willing to swallow
All the doctor's prescriptions
All the mystic inscriptions
It's the spandex obsession
It's a lasting impression
It's the calm meditation
Of a tranquilized nation
It's a hallucination
It's a new generation

David Bowie - "Sound and Vision"

Ahhh...
Ahhh...

Doo, doo, doo, do-do
Doo, doo, doo, do-do

Don't you wonder sometimes
'Bout sound and vision

Blue, blue, electric blue
That's the colour of my room
Where I will live
Blue, blue

Pale blinds drawn all day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Blue, blue

I will sit right down, waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing, waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Drifting into my solitude, over my head

Don't you wonder sometimes
'Bout sound and vision

[Allama]

The B-52's - Funplex

I'm a pleasure seeker, shoppin' for a new distraction
I'm a pleasure seeker, lookin' for some platinum action
I'm a pleasure seeker, movin' to the music
I'm a pleasure seeker, lookin' for the real thing

Chandalabra's in a wonderbra
Chris Barn runway, a real draw
Faster pussycat, thrill, thrill
I'm at the mall on a diet pill

Oh, broke my heart at the funplex
Yes you did, yes you did
Oh, broke my heart at the funplex
Yes you did, yes you did

The Taco Tiki Hut is where we're all gonna meet
Underneath the chandelier at the ATM machine
Oh honey, is it all about money?

Hey Lady
What?
What lady?
That lady?
No!

Private property, hippie be quiet
Your peace sign t-shirt could cause a riot
Faster, faster can't get enough
What the hell will I do with this stuff?

I'm your daytime waitress at the Taco Tiki Hut
I'm your daytime waitress here's your stupid 7-Up
You kicked my heart going up and down the escalator
You blew me off and now you've lost the real thing

Oh, broke my heart at the funplex
Yes you did, yes you did
Oh, broke my heart at the funplex
Yes you did, yes you did

You know fashion frenzy
(Panic at the funplex)
Gets me higher and higher
No will power and my wallet's on fire

(Panic at the funplex)
Fashion frenzy gets me higher and higher
No will power and my wallet's on fire

Oh, broke my heart at the funplex
Yes you did, yes you did
Oh, broke my heart at the funplex,
Yes you did, yes you did

The Taco Tiki Hut is where we're all gonna meet
Underneath the chandelier at the ATM machine
Oh honey, is it all about money?

Oh, broke my heart
Oh, broke my heart
Panic at the funplex

Misery at the funplex
And there's too much sex
Faster, faster, thrill, thrill
Too much to do
It's time for a pill

Cast of Spring Awakening-Totally F***ed

There’s a moment you know you’re f***ed
Not an inch more room to self-destruct
No more moves, oh yeah, the dead-end zone
Man, you just can’t call your soul your own

But the thing that makes you really jump
Is that the weirdest s**t is still to come
You can ask yourself, “Hey, what have I done?”
You’re just a fly, the little guys, they kill for fun

Man, you’re f***ed if you just freeze up
Can’t do that thing, that keeping still

But, you’re***ed if you speak your mind

And you know, uh huh, you will

Chorus:
Yeah, you’re f***ed all right and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally f**ed, will they mess you up?
Well you know they’re gonna try

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Disappear, yeah, well, you wanna try
Wanna bundle up into some big ass lie
Long enough for them to all just quit
Long enough for you to get out of it

Yeah, you’re f***ed all right and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally f**ed, will they mess you up?
Well you know they’re gonna try

Yeah, you’re f***ed all right and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally f***ed, will they mess you up?
Well you know they’re gonna try

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah

Totally f***ed!
