Thor (The Powerhead)
(Joey DeMaio)

Black Clouds On The Horizon
Great Thunder And Burning Rain
His Chariot Pounding
I Heard The Heavens Scream His Name

I Watched As He Shouted
To The Giants Who Died That Day
He Held Up His Hammer High
And Called To Odin For A Sign

Thor The Mighty Thor The Brave
Crush The Infidels In Your Way
By Your Hammer Let None Be Saved
Live To Die On That Final Day
Gods Monsters And Men
Will Die Together In The End

God Of Thunder God Of Rain
Earth Shaker Who Feels No Pain
The Powerhead Of The Universe
Now Send Your Never Ending Curse

I Watched As He Shouted
To The Giants Who Died That Day
He Held Up His Hammer High
And Called To Odin For A Sign

Thor The Mighty Thor The Brave
Crush The Infidels In Your Way
By Your Hammer Let None Be Saved
Live To Die On That Final Day
Gods Monsters And Men
Will Die Together In The End

Swing Your Hammer To Crack The Sky
Lift Your Cape So That You Might Fly
Back To Odin And The Gods On High
And Leave The Mortal World

Thor The Mighty Thor The Brave
Crush The Infidels In Your Way
By Your Hammer Let None Be Saved
Live To Die On That Final Day
Gods Monsters And Men
Will Die Together In The End

Odin

[GEMINIGUY]

"I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
'Til it was time to go
Time to go away

(time
to go away)

Sometimes it's hard to recognize
Love comes as a surprise
And it's too late
It's just too late to stay

Too late to stay

We'll always be together             
However far it seems
(love
never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams

Because the friendship that you gave
Has to me to be brave
No matter where i go
I'll never find
A better prize

(find
a better prize)

Though your miles and miles away
I see you every day
I don't have to try
I just close my eyes

I close my eyes

We'll always be together             [CHORUS]
However far it seems

(love
never ends)

We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams


[REPEAT CHORUS]

[GUITAR SOLO]

[REPEAT CHORUS X2]

We'll always be together....               [FADE]

Words and music by bob seger

Took a look down a westbound road,
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on

Twelve hours out of mackinaw city
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin'

Roll, roll me away,
Won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word,
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight


We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free

Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone

Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin' out at the great divide
I could go east, I could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'

Roll, roll me away,
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',
Keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right


 BOB SEGER - ROLL ME AWAY LYRICS

[Breanne]

In The Backseat by Arcade Fire (Lyrics by Win Butler/Regine Chassagne)

I like the peace
In the backseat
I don't have to drive
I don't have to speak
I can watch the countryside
And I can fall asleep

My family tree's
Losing all its leaves
Crashing towards the driver's seat
The lightning bolt made enough heat
To melt the street beneath your feet

Alice died
In the night
I've been learning to drive
My whole life
My whole life
I've been learning

[Zee4u]

Lyrics #1
Let me lick you up and down 'Til you say stop Let me play with your body baby Make you real hot Let me do all the things you want me to do 'Cuz tonight baby, I wanna get freaky with you

Lyric #2
Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me


Today's Song for Zee

A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you

It's not very easy living all alone
My friends try and tell me find a man of my own
But each time I try I just break down and cry
'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you

You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy

I've got to get ready just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
'Cause tonight is the night for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love for you
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you

[Latina]

"Pearl"

She is a pyramid
But with him she's just a grain of sand
This love's too strong like mice and men
Squeezing out the life that should be let in

She was a hurricane-cane-cane-cane
But now she's just a gust of wind
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
Was a force to be reckoned with

She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark

Oh, she used to be a pearl...Ohh Yeah,
she used to rule the world...Ohh
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
Cause she used to be a pearl

She was unstoppable
Moved fast just like an avalanche
 But now she's stuck deep in cement
 Wishing that they'd never ever met

She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
 But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark

Oh, she used to be a pearl...Ohh Yeah,
she used to rule the world...Ohh
 Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
'Cause she used to be a -

Do you know that there's a way out,
there's a way out there's a way out there's a way out

You don't have to be held down,
be held down be held down be held down

'Cause I used to be a shell
Yeah, I let him rule my world my world, ohh, yeah

But I woke up and grew strong
And I can still go on
And no one can take my pearl

You don't have to be shell,
No You're the one that rules your world, ohh
You are strong and you'll learn that you can still go on

And you'll always be a pearl

She is unstoppable

As Heaven Is Wide

Nothing that you say will release you
 Nothing that you pray would forgive you
 Nothing's what your words mean to me
 Something that you did will destroy me
 Something that you said will stay with me
 Long after you are dead and gone
 
If flesh could crawl
 My skin would fall
 From off my bones and run away from here
 
As far from god
 As heaven is wide
 As far from god
 As angels can fly
 
If holy is as holy does
 This house will burn straight down to hell
 Take its conscience with it as it falls
 Nothing said could change the fact
 My trust was blind, you broke the pact
 If god's my witness god must be blind
 
If flesh could crawl
 My skin would fall
 From off my bones and run away from here
 
As far from god
 As heaven is wide
 As far from god
 As angels can fly
 
I wish
 
Take it back, I dare you, take it back
 No you can't?
 You should have thought of that
 What's inside a man that goes so wrong
 Choke on guilt that's far too good for you
 Say one word I'll laugh and bury you
 And leave you in the place where you left me
 
If flesh could crawl
 My skin would fall
 From off my bones and run away from here
 
As far from god
 As heaven is wide
 As far from god
 As angels can fly
 
I wish I could fly
 As angels can fly

"Nothing From Something"

Things are comin' down on me
They never seem to let it be
It seems like everything I say just starts another fight
The pressure's buildin' up inside I gotta let it out tonight
Shattered glass will cure my ills and make me feel alright

Chorus:
Gonna break it
And never stop running
Making nothing from something
Making nothing from something

Cut me for the lion's share
It's mindless but I don't care
'Cause no matter what I say,
I'm in a another fight
Take more shit, I've had enough
Tonight I'm gonna rip it up
Broken windows cure my ills and make me feel alright

Chorus X2

**My dad had moved away, and I needed to destroy everything in sight for 2 years. I went from straight-A's to huffing air freshener behind convenience stores almost overnight. Within a year, I had tried to kill myself twice, and my mom checked me into a mental hospital. I was ten.

[horny guy]

Does anyone remember the juicy fruit jingle?

Grab a stick
pull it out
The taste will really hit you when you put it in your mouth.

My Father died back in 2010 and this song helped me cope with my loss

Father by Manowar

(Written by Joey DeMaio)
 
When I was small
You took me by the hand
Father you should know
I finally understand
 
You taught me wrong from right
And how to live
You gave the greatest gift
That one could give
 
You never let me down
You made me strong
When I made mistakes
When I was wrong
 
Some days we'd laugh
And some days we'd fight
Somehow you knew one day
I'd say you were right
 
You're with me
In every word I say
In every hour
Of every single day
In all I do
I'm just a part of you
 
You lived your life for us
That was your plan
Those hands that never take
They worked the land
Hands that never take
Can only give
And because of you
I know how to live
 
You're with me
In every word I say
In every hour
Of every single day
In all I do
I'm just a part of you
 
Father just one thing
You always knew
Every word you said to me was true

 

[Janus]

MIKE AND THE MECHANICS     "The Living Years"


Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thoughts
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got

You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talkin' in defense

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts

So Don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different date
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be O.K.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Say it loud, say it clear
Say it loud
Don't give up
Don't give in
And don't know what you can do next

To me, this is one of those songs that make me reflect on any conflicted relationship. I try to remember the words during those times when I'm not being a very cooperative person. Shame they escape me so often.

"The One That Got Away"

Summer after high school when we first met
We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
Like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on (Whoa)

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the Blues
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse

But in another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
The one that got away

[Bridge:]
All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo)
Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)
I should've told you what you meant to me (Whoa)
'Cause now I pay the price

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

self explanatory

"Someone Like You"

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Good post Latina. I love that song, and her incredible voice is the second-best thing in it- the lyrics are even better. Woo as always.

So glad I never signed up for Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc. 

This is a very clever poem.  Maybe will help all the kids be a little more aware of the pitfalls that can occur when dealing with people on the internet.

Johnny Mandel- 'Suicide is Painless'

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's too late, and...

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat.

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
'is it to be or not to be'
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you choose.

It's the theme song for the TV show M.A.S.H.
I'll never see that show the same way again.

[Latina]

"Hurt"

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Dont you feel like that sometimes...

[Fish]

Indeed I do, Latina. That song has been a favorite of mine since it came out. Also one of my favorite videos. Great post.
