post the lyrics to your favorite song here. :)

This ole house shakin stevens :lol:

This ole house once knew my children.

This ole house once knew my life.

This ole house was home and comfort

as we lived through storm and strife.

This ole house once rang with laughter.

This ole house heard many shouts.

Now she trembles in the darkness

when the lightning walks about.

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.

Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.

Ain't got time to fix the shingles.

Ain't got time to fix the floor.

Ain't got time to oil the hinges,

nor to mend the window panes.

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.

I’m a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.

This ole house is gettin' shaky.

This ole house is gettin' old.

This ole house lets in the rain.

This ole house lets in the cold.

On my knees I’m gettin' shaky,

but I feel no fear or pain,

'cause I see an angel peekin'

through a broken window pane.

I ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.

Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.

Ain't got time to fix the shingles.

Ain't got time to fix the floor.

I ain't got time to oil the hinges,

nor to mend the window panes.

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.

I’m a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.

This ole house is afraid of thunder.

This ole house is afraid of storms.

This ole house just groans and trembles

when the night wind flings its arms.

This ole house is gettin' feeble.

This old house is needin' paint.

Just like me it's tuckered out,

but I’m a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.

Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.

Ain't got time to fix the shingles.

Ain't got time to fix the floor.

I ain't got time to oil the hinges,

nor to mend the window panes.

Ain't gonna need this house no longer.

I’m a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.

I’m gettin' ready to meet the saints.

"Bobby Fisher" by Lazy Susan (it's a real story too) :

Bobby Fischer beat Spassky in Iceland '72. I know a girl who's better looking but who thinks like Bobby Fischer too. When Bobby Fischer was a kid they knew he was a prodigy. I know a girl who's somewhat older but no less of an authority.

I wish I had the smarts to understand her charts. If I don't concentrate she'll have me in checkmate.

In Tampa Bay and Lafayette they all knew Bobby Fischer's name. I know a girl who made her mark in smaller cities but her fame's the same. When Bobby Fischer made his comeback in the 90s he was worse for wear. I know a girl who made a comeback but her mind was altogether there.

She said, 'I drink chocolate milk from a cow I built. Doot n'doot doot doot. Doot'n doot doot doot.'

They're all saying you'll never play again. They're all saying you're finished, you're washed up as a friend. All my life I have 'feather-dusted' but it's not how it's going to end. Oh no.

Spies in hideouts send their secret messages. There's a thief caught in the headlights of a car beneath a bridge. There's no lights on in the house except the light in the fridge. Oh yeah.

Reykjavik, no one ever says Reykjavik in a song. Reykjavik, no one ever says Reykjavik in a song.

They're all saying you'll never play again. They're all saying you're finished, you're washed up as a friend. All my life I have 'feather-dusted' but it's not how it's going to end. Oh no.

Spies in hideouts send their secret messages. There's a thief caught in the headlights of a car beneath a bridge. There's no lights on in the house except the light in the fridge. Oh yeah.

White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.

One pill makes you larger

And one pill makes you small

And the ones that mother gives you

Don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice

When she's ten feet tall

And if you go, chasing rabbits

And you know you're going to fall

Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar

Has given you the call

Call Alice

When she was just small

When men on a chessboard

Get up and tell you where to go

And you've just had some kind of mushroom

And your mind is moving low

Go ask Alice;

I think she'll know

When logic, and proportion

Have fallen sloppy dead

And the White Knight is talking backwards

And the Red Queen's off her head

Remember what the door mouse said:

"Feed your head, feed your head"

Billie Piper Because We Want To!

Because We Want To!

I can do anything I want To

I can do anything I want To

I can do anything I want To

I can do anything I want To

Why you gotta play that song so loud?

Because we want to! Because we want to!

Why you always running around in crowds?

Because we want to! Because we want to!

Why do you have to dance all night?

Because we want to! Because we want to!

Why you always say what's on your mind?

Because we want to! Because we want to!

Don't try to tell me what I already know

Don't criticise me 'cause I'm running the show

Some evolution is going to happen today

I'm gonna chase the dark clouds away

Come on and help me sing it

We can do what we want to do

We can do anything

We can be who we want to be

Just tell yourself you can do it

Why you gotta play that song so loud?

Because we want to! Because we want to!

Why you always running around in crowds?

Because we want to! Because we want to!

Why do you have to dance all night?

Because we want to! Because we want to!

Why you always say what's on your mind?

Because we want to! Because we want to!

I throw a party for the world and my friends

We take life easy, the music never ends

Perfect solution to the stress and the strains

I know the sun will follow the rain

Come on and help me sing it

We can do what we want to do

We can do anything

We can be who we want to be

Just tell yourself you can do it

Why you gotta play that song so loud?

Because we want to! Because we want to!

Why you always running around in crowds?

Because we want to! Because we want to!

Why do you have to dance all night?

Because we want to!

area7- indivduality

They always said that you

would never be anything

Everything you tried to do was

just a waste of time

but you believed you could do

anything you wanted to

you made your mind up

and you never looked behind

Dont let them try to tell you

how to live your life

dont let them hold you back

dont ever change your mind

chorus

Individuality

be proud of what you are

Individuality

dont let them cut you down

you can be whatever you want to be

but dont change your self for society

dont lose your individuality

The years go by and find that

nothing comes easily

and the world is full of people

tryin to take you down

dont ever turn your back on

anythin you'll ever be

you dont need to prove yourself

to anybody else

Dont let them try to tell you

how to live your life

dont let them hold you back

dont ever change your mind

chorus

Individuality

be proud of what you are

Individuality

dont let them cut you down

you can be whatever you want to be

but dont change your self for society

dont lose your individuality

There is no run for second best

no second chance dont fail the test

gotta rise above the rest

gotta try to make your mark

no need to be so vain

no need to act so proud

follow the trends dont ever

stand out from the crowd

do you really care what

other people think about you

does it really matter what they do

or what they say

you fought so hard to let 'em

throw it all back in your face

when their opinion never

mattered anyway

Dont let them try to tell you

how to live your life

dont let them hold you back

dont ever change your mind

chorus

Individuality

be proud of what you are

Individuality

dont let them cut you down

you can be whatever you want to be

but dont change your self for society

dont lose your individuality

dont lose your individuality

dont lose your individuality

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

by SOMETHING FOR KATE

Feels like you're coming apart

and you've entertained the thought that you're out of things to say

and you haven't even started

you haven't even started

You're gonna have to find the words

to put on the page

and get around the corner

get around the corner

where nothing is the way

the way it was before

you're left with just these afterthoughts

to keep you warm

and when all the sunlight in your eyes feels forgotten

Is there light at the end of this tunnel?

And it feels like we're drowning, sinking to the bottom

Is there light at the end of this tunnel?

If the only thing to do now

is just start running

for the light at the end of this tunnel

Sometimes anything just breaks your heart

and you hold your arms to keep day and night apart

so this is never ending

nothing is ending

You turn back the clock till the clock is no more now

time means nothing, time can't touch you

it's nowhere to the start and nowhere to the end

but tomorrow somehow finds it's way to us again

And when all the sunlight in your eyes feels forgotten

Is there a light at the end of this tunnel

and we feel like we're drowning, sinking to the bottom

is there a light at the end of this tunnel

If the only thing to do now

is just start, just start running for the light at the end of this tunnel

For The Light at the end of this tunnel

For the light...

Now a bit of Regurgitator, another great Aussie band :

I **** Alone

i **** alone, ugh hoh

i don't want nobody to know

that i don't have the pressure of some of the other boys

they make a noise, it scares me so

i **** alone, alone

i don't want nobody to know

that i don't have the pressure of some of the other boys

leave me alone, alone

i just wanna be on my own

cos i haven't got the pressure of some of the other boys

i want a world where pissing troughs are obselete

there's only rows and rows of cubicles

i'm so afraid

when i try it is often delayed

i stand and stare into the air

and then i might just put it away

so quiet in here

the only sound around is the fear

the other guy is pounding the wall

like he's shooting dear

i need a place where i can close and lock the door

there i can stop and let it flooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
