greatest song lyrics ever

[Detroit Rock Citizen]

There are places i'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more

Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more

[Detroit Rock Citizen]

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Father mckenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Eleanor rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father mckenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

[Detroit Rock Citizen]

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name,
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made

I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

[Mr.Music]

Tell of the birth
Tell how war appeared on earth
Thunder and herbs
Conjugated sacred Verbs
Musicians with gongs
Fertilised an egg with song
Asleep in the sphere
her foetus was a Knot of fear
She butted with her horn
Split an egg and war was Born
A miracle of hate
She banged her spoon against her plate
Upon her spoon this motto
wonderfully designed:
'Violence completes the partial mind
Stacking the bones
on the empty aerodrome
Tinted turtle green
She haunts the slender submarine
She shakes her gory locks
over the deserted docks
Come follow me
Out of dark obscurity
Follow my torch
Pilgrims at the double march
Through meadows & seas
Abattoirs and Libraries
The pilgrims increase
Boasting they are led by peace
They gut huts with gusto
Pillage villages with verve
War does what she has to
People get what they deserve - War by Henry Cow

A woman on the radio talks about revolution when it's already passed her by
Bob Dylan didn't have this to sing about you know it feels good to be alive

I was alive and I waited waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now

I saw the decade in when it seemed the world could change at the blink of an eye
And if anything then there's your sign
Of the times

I was alive and I waited waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
There is no other place I'd rather be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history.

If the sun shines today I think I'll stay here anyway
And if the world makes demands of me
Then I'll wait and see

It's at times like these
I do what I please
And I'm pleased to say
It's like I've always wanted to feel this way

Blissed, blissed
When I'm going somewhere, going nowhere
Blissed, blissed
When I'm going nowhere, going somewhere

Feel the air wash over me
Let the ground sink beneath my feet
And I expect so much more from today
Than just a time between tomorrow and yesterday

Blissed, blissed
When I'm going somewhere, going nowhere
Blissed, blissed
When I'm going nowhere, going somewhere

No one ever else could feel like this
I couldn't settle for less than this

There'll be a time when all my dreams come to and end
When I'll run out of postcards for you all to send
But I'll keep with me
All the things I feel and see

Blissed, blissed
When Im going somewhere, going nowhere
Blissed, blissed
When Im going nowhere, going somewhere

- also Mike Edwards, Jesus Jones

One more, I'm indulging myself...and no, it's not a satanic refrain - it's derived from the expression "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't."


A life to call our own
That is ours alone
Is as hard as hell to come by these days
Time that I took what's mine, took it now
Things aren't what they were, they're what they are
There's no time of our own

And the devil you know is the only one

Is time too fast for us to grasp something of our own?
The ghost of the past has its arms around me
It moves everywhere in all I hear and see
And the devil you know is the only one
Look at you now, look at you then, see how you will be
All of your life belongs to me and only me, because
Things aren't what they were, they're what they are
There's no time of our own

And the devil you know is the only one

- Mike Edwards, Jesus Jones

Rock of Ages - Grant Lee Buffalo

Rock of Ages I am tumbling down
Where the roots of trees embrace you I do fall
Upon my knees
And ask you how
You can just sit there and be
Rock of Ages I am crumbling now
In an avalanche
I'm reaching for the Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages
Father now I have stepped
Beyond my bounds
Now the pack I wear weighs a thousand pounds
It drags me down
Make me feel crazy
Oh, my Rock of Ages I have gone astray
I heard my brother call I turned the other way
Now I'm ashamed to face him

...and so on with the refrain.
