Keyed Song lyric thread

(4:50AM: Go Fishing)

We set out in the spring
With a trunk full of books about everything
About solar devices
And how nice natural childbirth is

WE CUT DOWN SOME SOME TREES
AND TRAILED OUR IDEALS
THROUGH THE FOREST GLADES
We dammed up the stream
And the kids cooled their heels
In the fishing pool we'd made

We held hands and we
exchanged bands
And we
practically lived off the land

You adopted a fox cub
Whose mother was somebody's coat.
You fed him by hand
And then snuggled him down
In the grandfather bed while I wrote

And we grew our own maize
And I only occasionally went into town!
To stock up on antibiotics
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around!
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
And the sun went down sooner each day

Then the leaves all fell down
The crops all turned brown
It was over
As the first snowflakes fell
I realized all was not well in the camp

THE KIDS CAUGHT BRONCHITIS
THE SPACE HEATER RAN OUT OF DIESEL
ONE WEEKEND, YOUR FRIEND FROM THE EAST, ROT HIS SOUL, STOLE YOUR HEART

I said, "FUCK IT THEN"
"TAKE THE KIDS BACK TO TOWN"
"MAYBE I'LL SEE YOU AROUND"

AND SO LEAVING ALL OUR HOPES AND DREAMS
TO THE WIND, AND THE RAIN
Taking only our stash, we left our litter and trash
And set out
ON THE ROAD AGAIN

4.58 AM (Dunroamin, Duncarin, Dunlivin)

I nailed ducks to the wall
Kept my heart in dark ruins
I built bungalows all over the hills
Dunroamin, duncarin, dunlivin
Took my girl to the country
To sleep out under the moon
Next thing she's going crazy
She waits for the real Mr. Right to come
Gently removing her heart
With his promises of real communication

Who's always picking up the tab?
Who built a bungalow for his mum and dad?
Me!
Who took you out to all the shows?
Who worked his fingers to the bone?
Me!
While you were asleep
(It was me! I did)
I kept you in buttons and bows
(Christ, all those clothes)
So you could encourage this creep
With his neat feet
And his clean fingernails
With his wise but twinkling eyes
He's a rock standing out in an ocean of doubt
AND COMPROMISE

I'd like to go on with this bit of a song
Describing this schmuck
I'd like to go on, BUT I'M GONNA THROW UP!

Basically just my personal thread for songs stuck in my head at this point:

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina
Music would play and Felina would whirl


Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
I was in love, but in vain I could tell


One night, a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the West Texas wind
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
With wicked Felina, the girl that I loved


So in anger
I challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore


My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor


Just for a moment, I stood there in silence
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
I had but one chance and that was to run


Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away I did ride


Just as fast as I
Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the badlands of New Mexico


Back in El Paso, my life would be worthless
Everything's gone in life, nothing is left


It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death


I saddled up and away I did go
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow, a bullet may find me
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart


And at last here I am on the hill, overlooking El Paso
I can see Rosa's cantina below


My love is strong and it pushes me onward
Down off the hill to Felina I go


Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
Off to my left ride a dozen or more


Shouting and shooting, I can't let them catch me
I have to make it to Rosa's back door


Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle
I'm getting weary, unable to ride


But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen
Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest


I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest


From out of nowhere Felina has found me
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
One little kiss and Felina, goodbye
 
"Eins, zwei, drei, alle!"
Ooh-ooh, you cannot reach me now (oh-oh)
Ooh-ooh, no matter how you try (oh-oh)
Goodbye, cruel world, it′s over
Walk on by

Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come (worms to come)
In perfect isolation here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come (worms to come)

"The worms will convene at 1:15 outside Brixton Town Hall where we will be going in force!"

(Waiting) to cut out the deadwood
(Waiting) to clean up the city
(Waiting) to follow the worms
(Waiting) to put on a black shirt
(Waiting) to weed out the weaklings
(Waiting) to smash in their windows and kick in their doors

(Waiting) for the final solution to strengthen the strain
(Waiting) to follow the worms
(Waiting) to turn on the showers and fire the ovens
(Waiting) for the queers and the coons and the reds and the Jews
(Waiting) to follow the worms
verse
Would you like to see Britannia rule again (Would you like to see us rule again)
My friend?
All you have to do is follow the worms
verse
Would you like to send our coloured cousins home again (would you like to send them home again)
My friend?
All you need to do is follow the worms

"Now is the time to clean up the city, for this is the beginning
We need to secure our people!
We can′t stand around and let ourselves be robbed, maimed, and killed!
And when we make it to the Highclock Corner, I want you to spread it out and find them!"
Storm the halls, and then tear the walls and the doors!"

Stop!
 
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?

And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?

Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone?
Would you send me packing?
Or would you take me home?

Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but...
Just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut
 
What's a reason in a right, if you can't have anything?
What's the reason in a rhyme, if a plan means anything?
What's the meaning in a crime? It's a fan if anything
Where's the meaning in a line? It's a brand, it's a brand
How a culture comes again, it's a plan of yesterday
And you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyway
They're only here to talk to friends, nothing new is everyday
You could shit upon the stage, they'll be fans
They'll be fans, they'll be fans
They'll be fans
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Steal a sound and imitate, keep a format equally
Not an ode, just the facts, where our world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, it doesn't matter anyways
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Steal a sound and imitate, keep a format equally
Not an ode, just the facts, where our world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, it doesn't matter anyways

It's not cold enough
Please put this side up
She is moving through
Can we show our faces now?
I'm not interesting
She's not turning green
Shameful as it seems
Can we show our faces now?
Endless climb
I am blind
Why can't I hear?
Color blind
Speaking a phrase
Instantly grown
I am blind
Waiting in line
It's not cold enough
Please put this side up
She is moving through
Can we show our faces now?
I'm not interesting
She's not turning green
Shameful as it seems
Can we show our faces now?
Endless climb
I am blind
Why can't I hear?
Color blind
Speak a phrase
Instantly grown
I am blind
Why am I sure?

You should listen to these. I like how they sound a whole lot
 
I'll fake it through the day
With some help from Johnny Walker Red
And the cold pain behind my eyes
That shoots back through my head
With two tickets torn in half and a lot nothing to do
But it's alright cause some enchanted night I'll be with you

Tarot cards and the lines in my hand
Tell me I'm wrong
But they're untrue

I got plans for both of us that involve a trip out of town
To a place I've seen in a magazine that you left lying around
I can't hold my liquor but I keep a good attitude
Cause it's alright some enchanted night I'll be with you

And though you'd rather see me gone
Than to see there come the day
I'll be waiting for you anyway

Next door the TV's flashing blue frames on the wall
It's a comedy from the seventies with a lead no one recalls
He vanished into oblivion
It's easy to do
And I cried a sea when you talked to me
The day you said we were through
But it's alright, some enchanted night I'll be with you

Go buy your hallmark cards
Walmart Christmas lights
Reindeer and elves galore
Won't do anything to save your life
Markets are run by (((them)))
Watering it down
So most of us won't proclaim
That a baby was born in Bethlehem

I need a reason
I don't want to die
The season feels so empty
When the truth is covered in "X-Mas" lights

DON'T LET THEM TAKE IT FROM YOU
THERE'S TRUE MEANING TO LIFE
WHEN THE HOPELESS STARTED CHEERING
THAT A BABY WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM
OUR SOULS THEY NEED REDEEMING
WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO DIE
DON'T YOU DARE FORGET THE MEANING
CONFESS THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST

I need a reason
I don't want to die
The season feels so empty
When the truth is covered in "X-Mas" lights
Reasons for the season
The writer of all life
The meaning is forgotten
Because the truth is buried in Jewish lies

Never let them take it from you
Nevertheless distract you
From the truth that's been here
In front of our very eyes
Never let them take it from you
Nevertheless distract you
From the truth that's been here
Our Lord, Jesus Christ
 
I fucking love science
Can you even imagine
Way back in the past when
We thought that storms were caused by
petty gods
fighting on top of a mountain

and yeah, I like a good story
but eventually it's gonna bore me
If it doesn't have that truth
That incontrovertible, testable, repeatable proof

I fucking love science
And I fucking love Charles Darwin
Cause I don't think it's bold to question what you're told
If you're told the world's a thousand years old
There's nothing here to argue against
It's a process not an ideology
And I fucking love science

Sometimes people ask me
Of all of the centuries
Which I'd pick to live life in
Well that's pretty easy
Right now, if you think objectively
If you like hot running water
And memory foam beds
And TV shows and cell phones
And not being dead

You fucking love science
And I fucking love Carl Sagan
Cause I think it's fly to look up in the sky
And never ever ever stop wondering why
There's nothing here to argue against
It's a process not an ideology
And I fucking love science

Woolly mammoth embryos
Vaccines for smallpox and polio
Your TV set, the Internet
Your PS4, supersonic jets

Exoplanets, galaxies
DNA, germ theory, relativity
Just take a sec to think about it
How screwed we would be without it

I fucking love science
And I love Rosalind Franklin
Cause I wanna die remembering why
The truth is more important than winning a prize
There's nothing here to argue against
It's a process not an ideology
And I fucking love science
 
My baby wanna cut my hair
My baby wanna see me bleed
I'll be a millionaire
I'm puttin crack in people's weed
Yea they wanna see me dead
Tell you what I got instead
I got twenty-one bullets aimin straight at their head
Take a ride with me baby, take a shot and let me be
I don't know what we're gonna see

I don't wanna see no good and I dont wanna see no bad
I've taken lots of drugs and all they do is make me mad
No I don't wanna have no fun
No I don't wanna see the sun
I'll keep your finger on the trigger of the bullet from a gun
Yea backs too the wall
Cadillac, kill em all
Gimme gimme my alcohol

Alright
Let me take you all night
Yea my pretty baby alright
Yea yea yea well alright
Alright
Let me get the car tonight

Alright
Let me take you all night
Yea my pretty baby alright
Yea yea yea well alright
Alright
Let me take you out tonight

Well come with me my juliet, yeah lemme flick a cigarette
Oh drama drama dramamine, you’re drenching me in gasoline
I’ll make a beeline for the car, but we’re not getting very far
21 bullets aimin' straight at my guitar
I don’t wanna be a whore, no I don’t wanna go to war
Ah tell me tell me tell me tell me more

Well alright, lemme take you all night
Yeah my pretty baby alright
Yeah yeah yeah well alright
Alright, lemme take you out tonight (x2)
 
Boy, would I like to do her
I'd like to jump her bones
Slip her the hot beef injection
I'm hoping she gives me a hand-job
Hum'na hum'na
I got so wasted last Saturday night
Drank a whole half-gallon
Got really sick, puked
It was great, though
And me and my break-dancing friends went out
And beat up some punk rock faggots

Buffy's pregnant
We'll plan a future
We'll fit the class
And go debate on
Who has the nicest ass
Spread our mind games
With verbal words
We are all the same
Just flies on turds
Clone, clone, clone, clone

Saw you yesterday
Eighty-six rules
Did you hear what Marsha said?
"Like, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know."
Chris called me up
And he went and I went
And, oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed
I could just scream
"I swear, I will never talk to him, as long as I live"

Buffy's pregnant
Plan a future
We'll fit the class
We'll go debate on
Who has the nicest ass
Spread our mind games
With verbal words
We are all the same
Just flies on turds
Clone, clone, clone, clone (X2)
 
@terrycrews
How do you seem so laid back
Yet act like you're on crack
You might ignore my love
But I swear you’re from above

You're hot and fun and tall and cute
(You've never had a boyfriend too?)
You're smart and nice and really cool
(There must be something wrong with you)
You’re too good to be true
It's not like you never knew
That you’ve got morе then a few screws loosе

I can re-screw you
I can subdue you
Just so I can pursue you
And I can fix her
Maybe I can convince her
To go to a restaurant
I swear I’m gonna kiss her
When she responds

You might ignore me now
But one day I'll make you proud
I’m lost, with you I’m found
Someday you’ll come around

You're hot and fun and tall and cute
(You've never had a boyfriend too?)
You're smart and nice and really cool
(There must be something wrong with you)
You’re too good to be true
It's not like you never knew
That you’ve got morе then a few screws loosе

I can re-screw you
I can subdue you
Just so I can pursue you
And I can fix her
Maybe I can convince her
To go to a restaurant
I swear I’m gonna kiss her

But she’s already gone
For another forum
Farewell so long
This happens every time
And all I can do is cry

But I can fix him!!
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
I can fix him, I can fix him
(Oh! I just made it worse!)

I was up late last night
Thinking back on old times
I never lived in the moment
I couldn't see what I had

I was evil
I was sick
Living two lives
Neither fit
Must've swallowed a thousand pills
I should be with every friend

And ooooooh
I lose controooooool
I fell so deeeeeeep
To find my worth

So when I'm gone
Don't lose sleep
I'm at home
And I've found peace

"It's not your fault"
you would scream
I gave my heart
But I was weak

I still crave
The things that help erase
The memories I can't face
I leave them all displaced

And I
Grow colder in this room
Preparing myself to lose
The ones who've pushed me through

So when I'm gone
Don't lose sleep
I'm at home
And I've found peace

"It's not your fault"
You would scream
I gave my heart
But I was weak

I spend these days now
At war with who I was
To prove myself to ones
Who kept breath in my lungs

So when I'm gone
Please don't lose sleep
Know I'm at home
And I've found peace

It's not your fault
That you would scream
I gave my heart
But I am weak
 
Alright, so this is a little story
From a long time ago
About myself
Savage, you make my soul scream
And you make my stomach weak
Danger to all, and a monster in the sheets
Savage, you make me wanna kill myself some days
But that's okay
Cause when whiskey's involved
There's women on call to play the game
Fucker, I've been meaning to put you in place
But you're high, and my head wandered off into space, yeah
Eating molly like breath mints
Fucking whores, of course I'll never remember their names, ahaha
Kill me
I'm a demon, I'm a snake
Walking disaster, I'm a mistake
But the savage was lonely
So I let him in and gave him my name
Please, one more
Please, one more
Please, one more
Please, one more
Drinking by gallons, my skins like a palace
He's coming, he'll shake you
Your demons are savage
He's growing and showing the blow that he's blowing
I'm desperate for love so I speak once he's chosen
I'm looking for love
Looking to come
Looking for something to fuck 'til it's numb
I'm looking for love
Looking to come
Looking for something to fuck 'til it's numb
I'm looking for love
Looking to come
Looking for something to fuck 'til it's numb
I'm looking for love
Looking for love
I'm looking for love
(Looking for love) Yeah
Looking for love
Looking for love
Looking for love
 
Neither side is sacred
No one wants to win
Feeling so sedated
Think I'll just give in
Taking medication
Till my stomach's full
Neither side is sacred
Crawling in my hole

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Take the time and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again

Neither side is sacred
No one wants to win
Feeling so sedated
But I can't give in
Taking medication
Till our stomach's full
Feelin' so sedated
When I'm in my home

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Ancient history, all but true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again
Oh

Neither side is sacred
No one wants to win
Feeling so sedated
Can't I just give in
Taking medication
Till our stomach's full
Feelin' so sedated
Crawling in my home

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Take the time and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again
Oh
