SONG QUOTES
Queen
"I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair
Spreading his hands on the multitude there
A man who cried for a love gone stale
And ice cold hearts of charity bare
I watched as fear took the old men's gaze
Hopes of the young in troubled graves
I see no day, I heard him say
So grey is the face of every mortal" - Queen, The Prophet's Song
--------------------------------------
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here" - Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody --------------------------------------
"Is this the real life or is this just fantasy." - Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody
--------------------------------------
Metallica
"Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone" - Metallica, Fade to Black
--------------------------------------
"Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die
Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be
Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell" - Metallica, The Thing That Should Not Be
--------------------------------------
"Never hunger
Never prosper
I have fallen prey to failure
Struggle within
Triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends" Metallica, The Frayed Ends Of Sanity
--------------------------------------
"Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Myself is after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me" - Metallica, The Frayed Ends Of Sanity
--------------------------------------
And I've drunk that, I've drunk this
I've spewed up on a pint of piss
So what, so what
I've had skank, I've have speed
I've jacked up until I bleed
So what, so what
So what, so what, you boring little cunt - Antinowhere League, So What?
--------------------------------------
Triumph
"Something's at the edge of your mind, you don't know what it is
Somethin' you were hopin' to find but your not sure what it is
Then you hear the music and it all comes crystal clear
The music does the talkin' says the things you want to hear
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power of the music in me" Triumph, Magic Power
--------------------------------------
"The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay" Triump, Fight The Good Fight
--------------------------------------
King Crimson
"mmy skin is metallic now, no longer an elegant powder blue... my body
unhinged and sleeping in the jungle of motor block manifolds and metal
relics... what was deluxe becomes debris, I never questioned loyalty,
but this dead end demolishes the dream of an open highway...
dig me...but don't...bury me" King Crimson, Dig Me
--------------------------------------
"Well, first of all,
I couldn't even see his face.
I couldn't see his face.
He was holding a gun in his hand.
Umm... I was thinking...
This is a dangerous place..
This is a dangerous place.." King Crimson, Thela Hun Gingeet
--------------------------------------
"Talk, talk, it's only talk
Debates, discussions
These are words with a D this time
Dialogue, dualogue, diatribe
Dissention, declamation
Double talk, double talk" King Crimson, Elephant Talk
--------------------------------------
Tori Amos
"Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know
But nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me
You never shut up
Yeah I can hear that" - Tori Amos, Silent All These Years
--------------------------------------
The Melvins
"This is for cows
It's not for the size of me
Into my mouth
Nine hundred and fourteen
Try some force try to lead
The foundling die is close determinate
Raise head and stomp the blood
I'm not even sound raid
I'm alive, I got the silver
And I wonder, what will you follow?
When your head, is not in order
And I'm stomping, your little
How can you laugh
How can you lie awake
Making me drive
Making my heart a
Not too fat, not too lean
The foundling die is close excitedly
Raise head and stomp the blood
I'm not even soundly" The Melvins - The Bit
--------------------------------------

Punk means thinking for yourself
You ain't hardcore cos you spike your hair
When a jock still lives inside your head

Nazi punks-Fuck Off!
Nazi punks
Nazi punks
Nazi punks-Fuck Off!" Dead Kennedys, Nazi Punks Fuck Off!

Ideas don't matter
It's who you know" Dead Kennedys, Chickenshit Conformist

"To see
To bleed

In turn

Rush
"Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact" Rush, Limelight
--------------------------------------
"Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown
Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone" Rush, Subdivisions
--------------------------------------
Primus
"Hello all you boys and girls
I'd like to take you to the inside world
It's quite an irregular place to be
But never fear you're safe with me
Well, maybe" Primus, Frizzle Fry
--------------------------------------
"I just can't seem to blend
Into society
I have no hope for this dim
Simplicity of law and order
By whose rules I see no rhyme in
the reason
I hold no hope for this holy treason
Of love and so soft
By whose standards
They tell me, they tell me
Who are they, who is they" Primus, Eleven
--------------------------------------
Slayer
"Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquittance
The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone" Slayer, Raining Blood
--------------------------------------
Mr. Bungle
"Now I'm finding truth is a ruined, nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Staring into glassy eyes, mesmerized
There's a vintage thirst returning, but I'm sheltered by my channel surfing
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo" Mr. Bungle, Retrovertigo
--------------------------------------
The Ramones
"Ooo-whee, do it one more time for me!
Ooo-whee, do it one more time for me!
Can't stop stop that girl there she goes again I really really love
To watch her watch her headbangin' Suzy is a headbanger
Her mother is a geek
Do it one more time for me Ooo-ooo-whee! Ooo-ooo-whee!
Headbanging, Headbanging, Headbanging, Headbanging!
Headbanging, Headbanging, Headbanging" The Ramones, Suzy Is A Headbanger
--------------------------------------
Motley Crue
"He's the wolf screaming lonely in the night
He's the blood stain on the stage
He's the tear in your eye
Been tempted by his lie
He's the knife in your back
He's rage
He's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My heads spinnin' round and round
But in the seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and
Shout-shout-shout
Shout at the devil" Motley Crue, Shout At The Devil
--------------------------------------
Queens of the Stone Age
Nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol
Nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol

Co-co-co-co-co-cocaine" Queens of the Stone Age, Feel Good Hit of the Summer
--------------------------------------
Fishbone
"Coming up from the sound
It's got you swimming around
Metal's crushing your bones
As you hit the ground
No blood no foul
Back into the pool
No diving from here
Fuck that rule
I like to swim
Into the mosh" Fishbone, Swim
--------------------------------------
"Fight the Youth--
The Youth with poisoned minds
Ignite the truth--
Restore sight to these blind
Fight the youth--
The youth with poisoned minds
And if they suffer it's no fault but their own" Fishbone, Fight The Youth
