yeah its brilliantly done, sort of a p.s. at the end of the song to his mother.
the way he sings it is so simple, yet so hard to explain, realisation, yet bitter disappoinment, the part of the wall his mother built for him has turned into a hurdle...
poor bastard

in that song, i love the more... subdued lyrics. like "is it just a waste of time?" as opposed to the angrier sounding stuff. that was one of the first songs i really connected with on that album. not because i have motherly issues, but just how sad it is and how it becomes really anticlimatic at the end.

The Police - Message In A Bottle

Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways
Looking for a home

Confide In Me - Kylie Minogue
We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding, now
Our problem should be shared
Confide in me, Confide in me

Dangerous Game - Kylie Minogue
Surely this can't be heaven
Though it feels like I died
I guess it's just goodbye then
There's nowhere left to hide
Can't you see you have the power
To make or break my day
I'm getting weaker by the hour
All the time you stay away
I'm so in alone I feel so lonely
Here on my own I've lost my way
I never dreamt that it could hurt like this, boy
Lost in the absence of your precious kiss
Why do I feel this pain
Loves just a dangerous game

Disremembrance - Dannii Minogue
I feel so calm tonight
Like I'm floating into space
I feel my anger now
Vanishing without a trace
I feel so weak tonight
I'm no longer in control
I feel so different now
That it's time to face my soul

You gave me the time
To change the memories
But if I forget myself
Will you remember me?

Silent All These Years - 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

But what if I'm a mermaid
in these jeans of his
with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice
And it's been here
Silent All These Years

finally, one lyric that has baffled me with its obscurity
Dannii Minogue - Love & Kisses
You're the kinda girl that i want to keep
We ain't at McDonalds baby, so what's your beef?

wat exactly?!?!?!?!?!! :confused:

Zyklon - An Eclectic Manner

Symbolical and sheeting, in an eclectic manner,
Institutional monotheism holds the banner
Martial and creed;
You think they will provide anything you need?


Nile - Stones Of Sorrow

Aperu Heseb Semedet!
It is I who lift up the arm of the Inert
I have gone out of Khemenu
and am no longer a living soul
I have been initiated into the hearts of the Baboons
And I claim Dominion over the legions
of Uninscribed Shabitiu
Khunumu Khufu!
The God Khnum is my Protector

until you can spell the words "rock" and "chick" correctly, your opinion has absolutely no sway. Not that it would hold much sway if you could spell correctly, im just saying.

it doesn't really make sense anyway

leaving out the C in rock, yet including it once in chick

what are you trying to say?

Maria Mena - You're The Only One

I hope you can forgive me for that time
When I put my hand between your legs
And said it was small
Cuz its really not at all
I guess there's just a part of me that likes to bring you down
Just to keep you around
Cuz the day you realize how amazing you are
You're gonna leave me
