Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine random song lyrics: POST it if ya FEEl it!

FL, I love that song by the Crash Test Dummies. It is on my playlist at work and I hear it about every other day. I must have been asleep at the wheel and not watching when you posted it to the trivia game.

And I was not aware of a video for the song. If I recall correctly the song itself was only released as a 'B' side here. I had heard at one time it was only ever released in Canada. Now I have to find the video.

Well, I am Canadian, so I've seen it on our Canadian music video channel, Much Music. If you have satellite, you might get Much (and Much More, and Much Vibe, and Much Rap - I was shocked to see how many channels they have on satellite) and you might see it if the music trends go back that way. You might also catch the videos for "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" and "God Shuffled His Feet", which look, to me, like they're supposed to all match. *shrugs*

Curiously, "Swimming In Your Ocean" got way more radio play on local stations than "Superman's Song".

OR, if you have no satellite, but do have video and sound capability on your computer, check out the videos on http://www.crashtestdummies.net/

Thanks for the link FL! Gotta watch some videos now.

Well that sucks. None of their videos work. Probably the connection I have at work is blocking them. I'll have to try them from home.

In the meantime here are some new lyrics, from Mark Collie's In Time.

I can hear what you're thinkin'
All your doubts and fears
And if you look in my eyes in time you'll find,
The reason I'm here

And in time all things shall pass away
In time you may come back someday.
Live once more
Or die once more
But in time your time will be no more

You know your days are numbered
Count 'em one by one
Like notches in the handle of an outlaw's gun
You can outrun the devil if you try
But you will never outrun the hands of time

In time there'll surely come a day
In time all things shall pass away
In time you may come back some say
Live once more
Or die once more
But in time your time will be no more

I can hear what you're thinkin'

I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me
so I can say that's the way I used to be

My favorite lyric of the last few months. John Mayer, of all people.

I can be a nightmare of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone who's as positive as I am sometimes

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known
And you've never met anyone who's as everything as I am sometimes

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

And you're still here
And you're still here...

"Everything" by Alanis Morissette. It's my song obsession for the day as I'm in one of those 're-thinking my life' type of days at the minute. Yeesh.

I used to love this song - back in the 60's. It's so bitter. I still love it.

Where Do You Go To My Lovely
Peter Sarstedt

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jean-Maire.
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair.
Yes there are
You live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sasha Distel.
Yes you do

But where do you go to my lovely,
When you're alone in your bed.
Tell me the thoughts that surround you,
I want to look inside your head.
Yes I Do

I've seen all your qualifications
That you got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on.
Yes it does,
When you go on your summer vacation,
You go to Juan-les-Pins
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan
On your back and on your legs.

And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet set.
And you sip your Napoleon brandy,
but you never get your lips wet.
No you don't

But where do you go to my lovely,
When you're alone in your bed.
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you,
I want to look inside your head.
Yes I Do

Your name it is heard in high places
You know the Agha Khan.
He sent you a race horse for Christmas
and you keep it just for fun,
for a laugh, aha aha.
They say that when you get married,
It will be to a millionaire.
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care,
Or give a damn.

Where do you go to my lovely,
When you're alone in your bed.
Tell me the thoughts that surround you,
I want to look inside your head.
Yes I Do

Ah, remember the back streets of Naples,
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly-born tags,
So they try.
So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are.
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the
Scar deep inside, yes, you do.

Ah, I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed.
I know the thoughts that surround you,
'Cause I can look inside your head.

I listed this on the "current favorite songs" thread awhile ago. I just love the message of someone being totally accepting of another person. Actually, not just accepting of it, but loving it because the dark stuff forms a person as much as the light does.

"My Woman Drank Up All My Silverale"

I got off work in the space-mine,
Came home 'bout a quarter past nine,
And I thought there was somethin' funny,
I got no answer when I called for my honey.

So I opened up the space-fridge,
And soon I was about to hemorrhage,
Cause in the fridge there was nothing to drink,
Just an empty bottle in the kitchen sink

Oh, my woman drank up all my Silverale
And she ran off with the space-milkman
I shoulda known better than to trust her
When she couldn't even use a space duster

Oh, my woman drank up all my Silverale
And she ran off with the space-milkman,
I think I could put up with their ilk,
But I don't even have no milk

Hmmm, is this a Springsteen song??

For all you who love a good old-fashioned Love song........................

-Gonna tell you a story that you won't believe
But I fell in love last Friday evenin'
With a girl I saw on a bar-room TV screen
-Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she caught my eye and I put it back
And I ordered myself a couple o'more shots & beer

CHORUS>
The night (you know) that I fell in love with
A Roller Derby Queen------ round & round
oh round & round
The meanest hunk o'woman
That anybody ever seen-- Down in the Arena...

-She were 5 foot six & two-fifteen
A bleach blonde mama
With a streak of mean
She knew how to knuckle
And she knew how to scuffle & fight!
-And the Roller Derby program said
That she was built like a Fridg-er-ator w/a head
Her fans call her "Tuffy"
But all her buddies call her "Spike"
<Repeat Chorus>

-Well I could not help it
But to fall in love
With this Heavy-Duty Woman I been speakin' of
Things looked kind of bad
Until the day she skated into my life
-Well she might be "Nasty"
She might be "Fat"
But I never met a person
Who would "Tell Her That"
She's my bleach blonde bomber
My Heavy Handed Hackensack Mama!!!
<Repeat Chorus>

Sorry, been listening to (and thoroughly enjoying) my 70s country music tapes...


I feel sorry for
Anyone who isn't me tonight

And if you think I'm bragging
Well, you're right

Your love has sent me flying
And I'm higher than a kite

And I feel sorry for
Anyone who isn't me tonight


ANYONE WHO ISN'T ME TONIGHT-- Kenny Rogers/Dottie West


Love is fair, I have discovered
If touches everyone at some time or another

Love is fair
It makes no difference who you are
Love is fair
It breaks everybody's heart


LOVE IS FAIR-- Barbara Mandrell

*grooves around semi hyperactively in big dangly earrings she made during boring desk duty at work*

I say "Don't you know?"
You say you don't know
I say "Take me out"
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
With you

OOH! Speaking of country tunes:

The radio's loud and she's rollin' the the battery
Her best girlfriends are piled in the backseat
She's puttin' her lipstick on
'Cause there's a Mustang blowin' his horn

Cadillac Red
Singin' as she passes by
Cadillac Red
See that hillbilly fly
Catch her if you can
She can outrun any man
<chuckle>
Cadillac Red...

Sometimes I feel like a flower in the desert
Blooming alone like a motherless child
So far away in a prison of freedom
The only thing living for hundreds of miles

I gave you all of the love I had in me
Just like a bouquet for your beautiful hand
And you stayed 'til its roots had grown deep as the ocean
Then left it alone in a cold barren land

Now I don't think again
I will find root or reason
To thirst for the water
Or reach for the sky
I wish I was just
A flower in the desert
That never knows the meaning
Of hello or goodbye

I nurtured and tended the love I had in you
But the seeds of destruction were there from the start
Was I born to bloom and waste my sweet fragrance
On the desolate plain of your cold, cold heart?

Now I don't think again
I will find root or reason
To thirst for the water
Or reach for the sky
I wish I was just
A flower in the desert
That never knows the meaning
Of hello or goodbye

I wish I was just
A flower in the desert
That never knows the meaning
Of hello
Or goodbye

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you

I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

On my own, cause I can't take liven with you
I'm alone, so I won't turn out like you
Want me to

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

Just Like You - Three Days Grace

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
what creates my own madness
and I'm addicted to your punishment
and you're the master
and I am waiting for disaster

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
getting away with murder
it isn't possible
to ever tell the truth
but the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
and I don't need to
because I'm getting away with murder

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
getting away with murder
it isn't possible
to ever tell the truth
but the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

Getting Away with Murder - Papa Roach

And, if in death, the Lord is kind
You'll be the last thing on my mind


--Do I Love You (Yes in Every Way) - Donna Fargo

Don't tell me its too late
'Cause I've relied on my illusion
to keep me warm at night
and I've denied in my capacity to love
But I am willing to give up this fight

--Dirty Little Secret - Sarah McLachlan


Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind

--Answer, Sarah McLachlan

I want so to believe
And let myself be weak
Like a baby resting in your arms
But I won't let go of my fallen heart
A baby resting in your arms
But I won't let go of my fallen heart
I won't set free my fallen heart
I'll keep with me my fallen heart


Fallen Heart

Don't hold your breath
'cuz it'll make you blue
the whole opera's not over yet
and I aim to make the fat lady sweat, YEAH!

"Oh, Daddy" - Adrian Belew

Someone to save us,
someone to follow,
someone to shame us,
some brave Apollo,

Someone to rule,
someone like you,
we love you Big Brother,
Big Brother

"Big Brother" - David Bowie

I apologize now if any of they lyrics are offensive to anyone.

Don't want to be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new media.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Well that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Well that's enough to argue.

Don't want to be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's going out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Well that's enough to argue.

"American Idiot" - Green Day

Superstar
I tried to educate your childish heart
Made your bed
And I was in it when
your faith was dead

Pardon me?
What are you gonna try to be?
Where are you gonna go without me?

I've been your Mother, Been your Father
Who could ask me for more?

I've been your Sister, I've been your Mistress
Maybe I was your Whore
Who could ask me for more?

Been It -- The Cardigans

First we drank the whiskey
Then we drank the gin
Then we drank tequila
I think that's what did me in
