mine? eternally stairway to heaven. (if you don't know the lyrics i'm gonna kick you)


Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.

Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon, If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.

And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Eve6, Inside Out


I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

I burn burn like a wicker cabinet chalk white and oh so frail
I see our time had gotten stale
The tick tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I want to tear it off the wall
I hear words and clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

So Cal is where my mind states but it's not my state of mind
I'm not as ugly sad as you
Or am I origami
Folded up and just pretend demented as the motives in your head

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

I alone am the one you don't know you need take heed feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close sink when you get close tie me to the bedpost

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion

what do you think?
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
 
Shila, such an unoriginal choice :D

Mine is Marvin Gaye's "Let's get it on", another unorginal choice :D


I've been really trying now baby
Trying to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel like I feel
Come on

Let's get it on
Let's get it on
Let's get it on
Let's get it on

We're all sensitive people
With so much to give
As long as we got to be here
Let's live

There's nothing wrong with me
Loving you, now
Giving yourself to me
Can never be wrong
If (your) love is true

Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be, yeah
I'm just asking you, baby
To get it on with me

Oh but I ain't gonna worry
I ain't gonna push
I won't push you baby

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Stop beating around the bush
Let's get it on
Let's get it on baby
Let's get it on
 
My other fave song is a jazz song, Duke Ellington and John Coltrane's "In a sentimental mood".
 
although... this one is up there too...


Midnight Oil, Beds Are Burning

Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees


heh heh discovered that one several years ago, been in love with it since.
 
I forgot about the live version of "Hotel California". I jus love that!

I'm so indecisive! :D
 
I don't think it's possible to pick one favorite...

...but this one always comes instantly to mind


Kashmir
(Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant)

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there
 
PREACHERS (by ApologetiX)
=========
Parody of "Peaches"performed by The Presidents of the United States of America
(Philipp. 1:15-18, 2. Cor. 2:17)

Movin´ through the country,
gonna see (meet)(hear)(meet) a lot of preachers.
Preachers come good and bad.
They are ordinary men.
It´s a factor we must count.
And if some have been led astray,
that don´t mean that they´re all fakes.
some still can point you to the Way.

CHORUS
A couple scandals happened, a real short list.
Yes they caught some evangelists with greed and fraud and woman.
Point my fingers back to Christ.
Take a little look at a sinless life.
Base your stand on Christianity on His, not mine.
Millions of preachers, preachin´ to me.
Which ones believers? Which preach for greed?
Philippians teaches, verse 1:18
- if they really preach Jesus, they´re preachy keen.
But look out!
 
Pray Now (Lost Art)


Somebody once told me "The Lord is not your roadie
You ain't the star so do it yourself."
I said "Look, it'a kind of dumb
If there's things that I need done
It's a shame not to call on the Lord's help."
Well, my prayers start comin' and they don't stop comin'
I read through the rules and I think I found somethin'
Didn't make sense not to get more done
I pray real hard cause the Heavenly Son
Showed what to do, said knock and seek
So what's wrong with praying and asking
You better go into Luke, bro
11:9 if you don't know
Pray now - it's a lost art - get your day underway
Pray now - get a jump start - get a move on - get faith
God is listenin' you know - only you can start prayin' though
There's a cool case so you're prayin' get bolder
You look it up Luke 18 yeah, let's go there
When the meanest of men met the widow
Judge he was, you know if you have the right scripture
But I see his patience is gettin' pretty thin
The woman gets annoyin' so he might as well give in
The world's like that - how about the Lord
God already likes ya - and you'll never get ignored
Pray now - it's a lost art - get your day underway
Pray now - fourth chapter - let me show ya - in James
God is listenin' you know - only you can start prayin' though
Somebody once asked Jesus give us the capacity
To get ourselves a faith that is great
Christ said "Well, why ya want help?
You could move a little hill yourself
If you would all use a little faith."
Well, my prayers start comin' and they don't stop comin'
I read through the rules and I think I found somethin'
Didn't make sense not to get more done
Pray it smart cause the Heavenly Son
Showed what to do, said knock and seek
So what's wrong with praying and asking
You'll never know if you don't go
You better try if you don't know
Pray now - it's a lost art - get your day underway
Pray now - fourth chapter - let me show ya - in James
God is listenin' you know - only you can start prayin' though
And God is listenin' you know - only you can start prayin' though
 
(One Week- Barenaked Ladies)
It's been one way to look up and see
Up to heaven the Bible says it plainly
False faith and philosophy
Can't get ya to heaven; come back to Jesus

He's the Way and the Living Truth
So realise that all those false gods couldn't help you
Yes indeed, he's forgiven me
And he can still get you saved if you say you're sorry

Holy cow they've got you hoodwinked
With the pagan god thing
I think you're looking at also rans
But some of this superstition though it might become religion
Finds you sizzlin' with the devil in the frying pan

It's not like the bible says it one time
More like 300 times
It says there's only one avenue
First C'rinthians chapter 8:6
The bible says this
You try to tell me that it's not true

I think you're making a big mistake
I'd like to take and wake and shake ya
Like to tell you how to find yourself the way there
Cause Jesus showed us and we know where every soul is gonna go
Unless'n they confess him as their Lord and saviour

I cannot help it if I think there's one way and you're mad
Tryin' hard not to sin but you're still bad
There's a time to die and after the funeral
Then you'll understand what I mean when it's too real
I have a tendancy to stand behind John 14
John 14:6 could be my favourite bible verse

It's been one way
Take a look up and see
Deuteronomy says it pretty plainly
5:7 the passage reads: You shall have no other gods before me

(You can) read Exodus halfway through
You'll see that line in chapter 20 cause it's there too
Yes indeed, chapter 20 verse 3
Now it's written in two places for you and you saw it

Check into China, the Chinese Christians
They haven't done zip but they're chained up in prison
Cause they read their bibles with their lights on
or cause they prayed once
or cause they spoke on their religion

In America it's more like getting dandruff
They see you stand up
They snicker when they see you passing by
They'd cure us of all our bad flaws
They wanna make laws
But if they did they'd have us steralized
They get upset at anyone who tries defining God above
They're so alarmed they always try to start attacking
Their attitude is that you're rude and that no truth is absolute anyway, so let them think the wrong thing

I cannot help it if I think there's one way into Heaven
Kinda hard to ignore Matthew chapter 7
I can find the line in Acts chapter 4:12
Cannot be saved by the name of someone else
I have First Timothy to verify my beliefs
There's quite a bit to read but 2:5's the verse

It's been one way take a look and see
Drop your guide and your pride and say I'm sorry
Bible says what you have to do
It says just confess that Christ is Lord
He'll come in you
Believe that He's risen, too
You'll relaise you're born againd; I wouldn't tease you

Yes indeed, we can all be saved
But there will still be too many who won't say they're sorry
And still Jesus waits till we say we're sorry
And still Jesus waits, so please say you're sorry
At least God don't speak in code like Hammurabi
 
(Twist and Shout- The Beatles)
When Jacob was a baby now (Jake was a baby)
Twins came out (Twins came out)
He wasn’t, he wasn’t, he wasn’t, he wasn’t the baby now (Wasn’t the baby)
Who was the first to come out (First to come out)
You know the first to come out (First to come out)
You know he looked so red (Looked so red)
He could have played for Cincinnati now (Played for the Reds)
Became a hunter instead (Became a hunter instead)

When Jacob was a baby now (Jake was a baby)
Twins came out (Twins came out)
He wasn’t, he wasn’t, he wasn’t, he wasn’t the baby now (Wasn’t the baby)
Who was the first to come out (First to come out)

You know, the first little boy (First little boy)
You know he looked so wild (Looked so wild)
He barely needed winter clothing now (Needed winter clothing)
He was a hairy little child (Hairy little child)

E-sau ah ah ah ah
Whoahhh!

When Jacob was a baby now (Jake was a baby)
Twins came out (Twins came out)
He wasn’t, he wasn’t, he wasn’t, he wasn’t the baby now (Wasn’t the baby)
Who was the first to come out (First to come out)

You know the twins little mom (Twins little mom)
She knew the twins would fight (Twins would fight)
Cause they were wrestling deep inside her now (Wrestlin’ inside her)
Just like the LORD prophesied (LORD prophesied)

When Jacob, Jacob was a baby now
When Jacob, Jacob was a baby now
When Jacob, Jacob was a baby now
 
(Every breath you take Police)
Every debt you face can be removed through grace
Every law you break can be fixed through faith
If you want them to
Every sinful way can be cured today
Every stain will fade they’ll be wiped away
If you want them to.

Oh, can’t you see? You’d be wrong to flee
While the good Lord waits ‘til every soul is saved
If you move too late there’s a price you pay
There’s no time to waste
Get a clean, new slate cause He wants you to

Sinned so long I’d be lost without His grace
Cause Jesus Christ is the only way that saves
You’re looking round for a truth you can embrace
He’ll fill your soul with a strong enduring faith
At least try Him, baby, baby, please

Oh, can’t you see? Second Peter 3?
How the good Lord waits ‘til every soul is saved
If you use true faith, if you bow to pray,
Use your mouth to say Jesus’ name today
Cause that’s what to do
He’ll remove your shame, just confess His name
Cause that’s what to do, cause He wants you to
 
(Summer of 69)
You got to learn a little history
Oldest man in Bible times
Name was called Methuselah
Was nine hundred and sixty-nine
We had some guys come close
Almost ran for a thousand yards
Still they quit when they got buried
They should have known it was just too hard
When we look back now
Those fellas seemed to live forever
But you just get annoyed cause you don’t wanna believe it
Those guys were blessed with such long lives
Ain’t no use in explaining if you’re gonna doubt the truth
Spent your life doubting the Bible and that’s the fountain of youth- yeah
Standing knocking on your door
He told ya you could live forever
I hope you understand the truth is it’s now or never
These are the last days of your life
That should be something that sticks in your mind
Yeah, we’re running out of time
But the young forget that they need eternal life
To get something that last forever (forever)
Whoa! Yeah!
And all the time we’re aging
Look at every wrinkle coming on
Some guys don’t even live to be 16
Think about that while I end this song
Standing, knocking on your door
He told you how to live forever
I hope you understand
Hebrews three says it’s now or never
These are the last days of your lives
That should be something that sticks on your mind [repeat]

If It Be Your Will

If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing

If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well

And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will

If it be your will.




And I just wanted to put my brothers nightmare song up too.... (Pearl Jam)
Jeremy

at home
drawing pictures
of mountain tops
with him on top
lemon yellow sun
arms raised in a V
as the dead lay
in pools of maroon below

daddy didn't give attention
to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the Wicked
ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today

clearly I remember
pickin' on the boy
seemed a harmless little fuck
but we unleashed a lion
gnashed his teeth
and bit the recess lady's breast
how could I forget
and he hit me with a surprise left
my jaw left hurtin'
dropped wide open
just like the day
like the day I heard

daddy didn't give affection
and the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the Wicked
ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today

try to forget this
try to erase this
from the blackboard

Jeremy spoke in class today
 
just remember you said it not me *grins*


On The Roof Again, Eve6

In the throes of young love Leroy
didn't think to think and in the blink of an eye
tied the knot not knowing how'd I not know
it was the prodigal son this girl had brought him home
he moved out of his stepdad's apartment
and moved in with his cute Guatemalan
things were copacetic until she caught him
things were cool and collected until she found him
erected with another

Shit went bad
he's on the roof again
she flipped he flipped the bird
and then he went to the roof
where his threats rain loud and clear
gonna jump gonna jump gonna die this year

gonna die this year

Got screwed by the horse that he rode in on
running high on his whims had only gotten him down
he moved back to his stepdad's apartment
where he put himself back together 'til

She came back
he's on the roof again
she flipped he flipped the bird
and then he went to the roof
where his threats rain loud and clear
gonna jump gonna jump gonna die this year

gonna die this year

your heinous highness broke her hymen
hey man try to quit your crying
I know she broke your heart
but try to calm try to calm down

your heinous highness broke her hymen
hey man try to quit your crying
I know she broke your heart
but try to calm try to come down

your heinous highness broke her hymen
hey man try to quit your crying
I know she broke your heart
but try to calm try to calm down

your heinous highness broke her hymen
hey man try to quit your crying
I know she broke your heart
try to try to try to try to
come down

shit went bad
he's on the roof again
she flipped he flipped the bird
and then he went to the roof
where his threats rain loud and clear
gonna jump gonna jump gonna die this year

gonna jump gonna jump gonna jump gonna die this year
gonna jump gonna jump gonna die this year
gonna jump gonna jump gonna die this year
gonna jump gonna die this year

Yellow Ledbetter (Pearl Jam)

Unsealed on a porch a letter sat
Then you said I wanna leave it again
Once I saw him on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again

On a weekend on a visit on her way yeah
And they called and I said and I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason oughta leave her calm I know
I said I know what I wear not a boxer or the bag

Ah yeah can you see them
Out on the porch yeah but they don't wave
I see them 'round the front way
And I know and I know I don't wanna stay

I see I don't there's something else
I want to drum it all away
And I said I don't know whether there's a boxer or the bag

Ah yeah can you see them
Out on the porch but they don't wave
I see them 'round the front way
And I know and I know I don't wanna stay
 
Closer (NIN)

you let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
help me I broke apart my insides, help me I've got no soul to sell
help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself

I want to fuck you like an animal, I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal, my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god

you can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
help me tear down my reason, help me it's your sex I can smell
help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god

through every forest, above the trees
within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
you are the reason I stay alive
 
this one describes me and my best friend really well... i think that's what makes it my favorite...

Mad Season. Matchbox 20
i feel stupid - but i know it won't last for long
i've been guessing - i coulda been guessin' wrong
you don't know me now
i kinda thought that you should somehow
does that whole mad season got ya down

i feel stupid but it's something that comes and goes
i've been changin' - think it's funny how no one knows
we don't talk about - the little things that we do without
when that whole mad season comes around

so why ya gotta stand there
looking like the answer now
it seems to me - you'd come around
i need you now
do you think you can cope
you figured me out - i'm lost and i'm hopeless
bleeding and broken - though i've never spoken
i come undone - in this mad season

i feel stupid - but i think i been catchin' on
i feel ugly - but i know i still turn you on
you seem colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around
will that whole mad season knock you down

so are you gonna stand there
are you gonna help me out
you need to be together now - i need you now

now i'm cryin' - isn't that what you want
i'm tryin' to live my life on my own
but i won't
at times - i do believe i am strong
so someone tell me why, why, why
do i feel stupid
and i came undone

Stevie B. - In My Eyes


You gotta believe there is something inside of me
You might say, “How could you so fast”
Is the way you make me feel like you understand
There is a way I can meet your demand, girl ‘cause

If you see the sun in my eyes
It should be as no surprise
It’s the light of love inside of me
Now tell me what do you see

In my eyes (And I wanna show you, girl)
In my eyes (And I wanna know you, know you tonight)
In my eyes (And when you kiss me, girl)
In my eyes (You just don’t know how you make me feel)

In my eyes (The love I have inside of me)
In my eyes (I wanna give it all to you, girl)
In my eyes (And if you give me a chance)
In my eyes (I just wanna be your, be your man)

I know it’s hard to see how I feel this way
I just don’t have control of my heart
And if you feel what I feel and you wanna stay
Just give me a sign, girl, and we’ll never part

And if you see the sun in my eyes
It should be as no surprise
It’s the light of love inside of me
Now tell me what do you see

In my eyes (And I wanna show you, girl)
In my eyes (And I wanna know you, know you tonight)
In my eyes (And when you kiss me, girl)
In my eyes (You just don’t know how you make me feel)

In my eyes (The love I have inside of me)
In my eyes (I wanna give it all to you, girl)
In my eyes (And if you give me a chance)
In my eyes (I just wanna be your, be your man)

You gotta believe there is something inside of me
You might say, “How could you so fast”
Is the way you makin’ me feel like you understand
‘Cause there is a way I can meet your demand, girl ‘cause

If you see the sun in my eyes
It should be as no surprise
It’s the light of love inside of me
Now tell me what do you see

In my eyes (And I wanna show you, girl)
In my eyes (And I wanna know you, know you tonight)
In my eyes (And when you kiss me, girl)
In my eyes (You just don’t know how you make me feel)

In my eyes (The love I have inside of me)
In my eyes (I wanna give it all to you, girl)
In my eyes (And if you give me a chance)
In my eyes (I just wanna be your, be your man)
 
Schism (Tool)

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
mildewed and smoldering. fundamental differing
pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
disintigrating as it goes testing our communication
the light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
we cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
no fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
point the finger, blame the other, watsh the temple topple over
to bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

the poetry that comes from the squaring off between
and the circling is worth it
finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched you fall away
mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know, the dangers of our second guessings
doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen out communication

cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any
sense of compassion
between supposed lovers
