Cheap holiday in other people's misery - Sex Pistols

Oh Beautiful babes from England.
For whom we have travelled through time,
If you go to the prom with us in San Dimas,
It ll be a most triumphant time!

Someone write me a letter I need to know I'm still alive.
Someone give me a telephone call I need to hear a human sound.
I've been caged up so long I need to know I'm still alive.

There's a message floatin' in the air
Come from crazy horses ridin' everywhere
It's a warning, it's in every tongue
Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run

'Happy memories leave a bitter taste' - Look Know - the fall

When there's things to do not because you gotta
When you run for love not because you oughtta
When you trust your friends with no reason nada
The joy I name shall not be tamed
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

sitting here with ourselves in between us

.... and pursue the ideal ,
the planet becoming the hostess,
instead of the meal

... somewhere that I could take her,
where the world could mean a lot,
instead of being cyphers in a brave new council block,
with endless empty neighbours
and an ever bolted lock

the fate of all the world, I see, is in the hands of fools --- King Crimson

Vesterberg

Hungry mouths to feed,
Sick aggregate.
Sworn in, scorning,
Fast and just wheezing for air.
And hail.

Golden phrasing I,
Lights and principles.
Only squeaking.
Luck's ferocious left hand,
Stalled.

Now multiply a ten-strong baying million,
All charred, all hearts full of hurting.
Testifying in me.

Thwart this ditzy scene,
Gilded capital.
Hanging, swinging,
Loss of fury, heed, loss of spark.
Raise! Pull!

Now multiply a ten-strong baying million,
All charred, all hearts full of hurting.
Testifying in me.

Please calming time and disarm to cease this lynching army,
Bad hour, condemned and revolting,
Lasting out not shortly.

All ranting, merciless chanting, smash my legs beneath me,
Lives darkly, this is the moment,
Honest, this is rid me.

Note to self, must try some Roy Harper.....

ALso I reckon "how can we win, when fools can be kings" (Muse) must have been inspired by that King Crimson line eh

Frank the tank

Not rock but one of/if not my all time favourite is

For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not
To say the things he truely feels
And not the words of one who kneels.

The Divine Comedy

On the National Express there's a jolly hostess selling crisps and tea
She'll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks for a sky-high fee
Mini-Skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle Back in '63
But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size of a small country.


The Doors

Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end
Yes, the river knows.

Please believe me
If you don't need me
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in mysticated wine.

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die, where you invest your love, you invest your life - Mumford and Sons.

And For as far as i can see, tin twisted grills grin back at me - Stone Roses

Theres a club if you'd like to go? you could meet somebody who really loves you, so you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on our own, and you go home and you cry and you want to die - The Smiths


Over the moor, take me to the moor
Dig a shallow grave
And I'll lay me down

Over the moor, take me to the moor
Dig a shallow grave
And I'll lay me down


Lesley-Anne, with your pretty white beads
Oh John, you'll never be a man
And you'll never see your home again
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for


Edward, see those alluring lights ?
Tonight will be your very last night


A woman said : "I know my son is dead
I'll never rest my hands on his sacred head"


Hindley wakes and Hindley says :
Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says :
"Oh, wherever he has gone, I have gone"


But fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death
Fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death


Hindley wakes and says :
Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says :
"Oh, whatever he has done, I have done"


But this is no easy ride
For a child cries :


"Oh, find me ... find me, nothing more
We are on a sullen misty moor
We may be dead and we may be gone
But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side
Until the day you die
This is no easy ride
We will haunt you when you laugh
Yes, you could say we're a team
You might sleep
You might sleep
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
Oh, you might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !"

Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for

Oh, find me, find me !
Find me !
I'll haunt you when you laugh
Oh, I'll haunt you when you laugh
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
Oh ...
Over the moors, I'm on the moor
Oh, over the moor
Oh, the child is on the moor

I could go on all day long with this thread...

Being born is going blind
And bowing down a thousand times
To echoes strung
On pure temptation

Sorrow and solitude
These are the precious things
And the only words
That are worth rememberin'

Townes Van Zandt "Nothin'"

Peeling the skin back from my eyes, I felt suprised
that the time on the clock was the time I usually retired
to the place where I cleared my head of you;
but just for today, i think I'll lie here and dream of you.

I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in,
but if the sweat pours out, just shout I'll try to SWIM AND pull you out.

Ah excellent choice.

and for me: the fields of anfield road.

Outside the Paisley Gates
I heard a Kopite calling
Paisley, they have taken you away
But you led the great eleven
Back in Rome in 77
And the Redmen they're still playing the same way

You shut your mouth, how can you say, I've gone about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved... just like everybody else does.

I don't think you trust In my self righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die In my self righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die
Father, father, father, father Father into your hands, I commend my spirit Father into your hands Why have you forsaken me?
In your eyes forsaken me In your thoughts forsaken me In your heart forsaken me, oh
Trust in my self righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die In my self righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die

Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry


So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all

Well the officers are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done



ooh yeah oh yeah woh yeah ooooh

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave


Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall one and all
What I say now, what I say now, awww
What I say now, what I say one time
The harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
