Rolling Stones- Beast of Burden

Ill never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but its a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
Ill never be your beast of burden
Ive walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
Im not too blind to see

Ill never be your beast of burden
So lets go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Come on baby make sweet love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
Im not too blind to see

Oh little sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl
Youre a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Come on baby please, please, please

Ill tell ya
You can put me out
On the street
Put me out
With no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery

Yeah, all your sickness
I can suck it up
Throw it all at me
I can shrug it off
Theres one thing baby
That I dont understand
You keep on telling me
I aint your kind of man

Aint I rough enough, ooh baby
Aint I tough enough
Aint I rich enough, in love enough
Ooh! ooh! please

Ill never be your beast of burden
Ill never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

I dont need no beast of burden
I need no fussing
I need no nursing
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

Good one, Ryanzania. 

This one's been running through my head a lot lately:

She’s a good girl,
Loves her mamma,
Loves Jesus,
And america too.
She’s a good girl,
Crazy ‘bout elvis,
Loves horses,
And her boyfriend too.
And it's a long day,
Livin’ in reseda,
There’s a freeway,
Runnin’ thru the yard
And I’m a bad boy,
‘Cause I don’t even miss her,
I’m a bad boy,
For breaking her heart

And I'm free,
Free falling.
Yeah I'm free,
Free falling.

And all the vampires
Walkin' through the valley
Move west down
Ventura Boulevard.
And all the bad boys
Are standin' in the shadows,
And the good girls
Are home with broken hearts.

And I'm free,
Free falling.
Yeah I'm free,
Free falling.

I wanna glide down
Over mulholland
I wanna write her
Name in the sky.
I'm gonna free fall
Out into nothin',
Gonna leave this
World for a while.

And I'm free,
Free falling.
Yeah I'm free,
Free falling.

Imperiet- Alltid rött, Alltid rätt (Always red, Always right)


Maskiner tar över                                 
E´re nåt vi behöver
Maskiner som söver
När mitt hjärta bultar och blöder

Jag vill skrika å vråla
Gör det ont vill jag gråta
Jag vill sjunga och skåla
Hur mycket mer kan jag tåla

Det finns en sång i varenda själ
Passion e nåt vi behöver så väl

Ett hjärta e alltid rött
Ett hjärta har alltid rätt
Ett hjärta stinker blod och svett
Ett hjärta har alltid rätt

Maskiner marscherar
Över liken i lera
Men maskiner skjuts sönder
Av rock´n´roll bönder

Det finns en sång i varenda själ
Passion e nåt vi behöver så väl

Ett hjärta e alltid rött
Ett hjärta har alltid rätt
Ett hjärta stinker blod och svett
Ett hjärta har alltid rätt

Det finns inga maskiner
Som får adrenalinet
Att pumpa runt i små droppar
Runt i svettiga kroppar

Det finns en sång i varenda själ
Å vem som helst kan bli vem som helst

Ett hjärta e alltid rött
Ett hjärta har alltid rätt
Ett hjärta stinker blod och svett
Ett hjärta har alltid rätt

[Ryazania]

It was Christmas in prison
and the food was real good
we had turkey and pistols
carved out of wood
and I dream of her always
even when I don't dream
her name's on my tongue
and her blood's in my stream.

Chorus:
Wait awhile eternity
old mother nature's got nothing on me
come to me
run to me
come to me, now
we're rolling
my sweetheart
we're flowing
by God!

She reminds me of a chess game
with someone I admire
or a picnic in the rain
after a prairie fire
her heart is as big
as this whole goddamn jail
and she's sweeter than saccharine
at a drug store sale.

Chorus:

The search light in the big yard
swings round with the gun
and spotlights the snowflakes
like the dust in the sun
it's Christmas in prison
there'll be music tonight
I'll probably get homesick
I love you. Goodnight.

Chorus:

[Algerianbania]

You've Got Another Thing Coming by Judas Priest

One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight I said i'll never get enough
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'

That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks

If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
[ these lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com/lyric/33265/Judas+Priest+-+You+Got+Another+Thing+Coming.html ]
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You got another thing comin

In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow

Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'

[Seixo]

I want a trip inside your head
Spend the day there...
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see

I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out

Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug

Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit...

I am you and you are mine
Love makes no sense of space
And time...will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love...

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug

God I need your help tonight

Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear your voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug

Miracle, miracle drug

The Ottawa Song:

Here’s another story
About a hockey team
Who thinks they’ll win the Stanley Cup
But it’s still just a dream

The team is from Ottawa
Their franchise is a joke
A regular season powerhouse
Who always seems to choke

One round away
One obstacle to hurdle
Reddens gonna falter
And Spezza sure to turtle

Emery’s full of holes
Alfredsson’s over the hill
Both still have their nightmares
Of their time in Pominville

*RJ: Jason Pominville!*


There's more of course, but I can't remember it all off hand. Here listen to it:

Sabaton - panzer battalion


Under this sun no shadows will fall
Piercing our eyes as we charge
An armoured battalion on course to the east
Closing the end of it's march

This time we're here to finish a job
Started a decade ago
Driving the animals out of their holes
To bury them 6 feet below
Armoured tanks of mass destruction
Killers in the east
Rats who dares to stand before us
Feel our guns go live

Death in the shape of a panzer battalion
Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a
Man cannot outrun our panzer battalion

Thousands of tons of armour and guns
Making it's way through the sand
Our panzer battalion is back for revenge
Artillery sweeping the land

First strike is ours no mercy is shown
There's rivers of blood in our track
Breaking their lines of defence with our tanks
Infantry watching our back

Blow their SAM sites clear for air strike
Ready for the storm
Minefields swept there's no surrender
Feel our napalm burn

Under this sun no shadows will fall
Piercing our eyes as we charge
An armoured battalion on course to the east
Has reached the end of it's march

[Hendrix]

If I don't meet you no more in this world, I'll meet you on the next one and don't be late

I think that's probably my favorite lyric from any song its from voodoo chile

or pehaps...

My girl, my girl, dont lie to me
tell me where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband was a hardworking man,
bout a mile and a half from here
his head was found on the driving wheel
but his body never was found

My girl, my girl, dont lie to me
tell me where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
I would shiver the whole night through


A truly beautiful song wether you listen to the Leadbelly or Nirvana version.

one of my favorite, a really old Chinese lyrics:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuǐ_diào_gē_tóu

It is not really a "poem" as the wiki suggests, as literatures in that era were primarily lyrics

[Algerianbania]

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Finished with my woman cause she couldnt help me with my mind
People think Im insane because I am browning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think Ill lose my mind if I dont find something to pacify

Can you help me thought you were my friend
Whoah yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I cant find
I cant see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I
wish I could but its too late

Great tune. Love it.

[Khablan]

Excellent tune, panda.

The Notwist - "Pick Up The Phone"

You know this place
You know this gloom
We've been here before
When life is a loop
You're in a room without a door

Pick up the phone and answer me at last
Today I will step out of your past

"Trouble that we've come to know will stay with us"
With every step it slowly grows
Rub off the rust

Pick up the phone and answer me at last
Today I will step out of your past

So pick up the phone and answer me at last
Today I will step out of your past

[Hendrix]

As soon as your born they make you feel small
By giving you no time, instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if your clever, and they despise a fool
Till your so f*****g crazy you cant follow the rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
You think your so clever and classless and free
But your still f*****g peasants as far as i can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Theres room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must earn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero, then just follow me.

John Lennon, Working class hero.

ZZ Top - Bad to the Bone

On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up, and she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
