The Smashing Pumpkins – 1979
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we’d never see an end to it all
And I don’t even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They’re not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slipping dues down to see
That we don’t even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we’d go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don’t even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there’s no one around
Silversun Pickups – Lazy Eye
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life
But it’s not quite right
And this ‘real’
It’s impossible if possible
At who’s blind word
So clear but so unheard
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting for this silence all night long
It’s just a matter of time
To appear sad
With the same ‘ol decent lazy eye
Fixed to rest on you
Aim free and so untrue
Everyone’s so intimately rearranged
Everyone can focus clearly with such shine
Everyone’s so intimately rearranged
Everyone can focus clearly with such shine
Lost and loaded
Still the same ‘ol decent lazy eye
Straight through your gaze
That’s why i said i relate
I said we relate
It’s so fun to relate
It’s the room the sun and the sky
It’s the room the sun and the sky
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting for this moment…
Damone – On Your Speakers
Promise me that you’ll be ok
Keep in touch if miles away
I’m hangin’ in the way that I know how
Take good care and I’ll see you soon
Ring you up this afternoon
I’m cool with how things have to be right now
You’ll hear me on your speakers
Everywhere you go
Wearing your worn out sneakers
Kickin’ down the road
Just take this song until I see you at the show…
Whoa
I’m sending you a message
Whoa
You’re gonna be mine
Whoa
Don’t mean to be obsessive
Everything’s fine
Me and Mike went out last night
Party crashed, and watched the fights
In front of every bar room door
Things just aren’t the same ’round here
Not like they were at this time last year
I guess I don’t feel welcome anymore
You’ll hear me on your speakers
Everywhere you go
Wearing your worn out sneakers
Kickin’ down the road
Just take this song until I see you at the show…
Whoa
I’m sending you a message
Whoa
You’re gonna be mine
Whoa
Don’t mean to be obsessive
Everything’s fine
Just fine
Joni Mitchell – The Circle Game
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when youre older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
Were captive on the carousel of time
We cant return we con only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game.
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him,
Take your time, it wont be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
Were captive on the carousel of time
We cant return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game.
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur
Coming true
Therell be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through.
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
Were captive on the carousel of time
We cant return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game.
DragonForce – Operation Ground and Pound
Smashing through the boundaries
Storming through the burning fields
Stand before the evil one on towards the morning sun
Falling under skies of pain
Still we’re searching endlessly
Crashing over seven seas
Torturing the winter skies riding over plains of ice
Shadows in the fields of the slain!
Crashing steel and raging fury smash the quest destroy their army
Crush the legions of the twilight, templars of steel will burn
Cry far away as we reach for the day
Blasting our way through the punishment and the pain
Reach for the world as the sky begins to fall
Rising through the darkened ashes praying that I’ll see you all
[Chorus:]
Far away will our eyes now see the day
For today, the everlasting eternal sun
Washed away the dreams of a brighter day
Forever hold the dream inside the chance to fight another fight
The breaking hearts that stand for all our lives
Live tonight
Watch you die I watch you die inside while fear controls your life
And reject this animosity that killed so many minds
You feel the power deep within the fear you hold inside
Just to find the reason for the treason now you will be mine
Screams of pain in death descending rise again from hell defending
Burn their hearts within the fire, warriors of light will be slain
Rise through the pain like the sun will rise again
Day after day but the memories never change
Stand before the storm as the last horizon falls
Blinded by the vision and the innocence of our souls
[Chorus]
[Solos: Sam/Herman/Sam]
Far away will our eyes now see the day
For today the everlasting eternal sun
[Chorus]
WO…
[Solo: Herman]
