Purity by Slipknot

Maze...psychopathic daze...I create this waste

 

Back away from tangents, on the verge of drastic

 

ways...can't escape this place...I deny your face

 

Sweat gets in my eyes, I think I'm slowly dying

 

 

 

Put me in a homemade cellar

 

Put me in a hole for shelter

 

Someone hear me please, all I see is hate

 

I can hardly breathe, and I can hardly take it

 

 

 

HANDS ON MY FACE OVER BEARING I CAN'T GET OUT

 

HANDS ON MY FACE OVER BEARING I CAN'T

 

 

 

Lost...ran at my own cost...hearing laughter, scoffed

 

Learning from the rush, detached from such and such

 

Bleak...all around me, weak...listening, incomplete

 

I am not a dog, but I'm the one your dogging

 

 

 

I am in a buried kennel

 

I have never felt so final

 

Someone find me please, losing all reserve

 

I am fucking gone, I think I'm fucking dying

 

 

 

HANDS ON MY FACE OVER BEARING I CAN'T GET OUT

 

HANDS ON MY FACE OVER BEARING I CAN'T

 

 

 

You all stare, but you'll never see

 

There is something inside me

 

You all stare, but you'll never see

 

There is something inside me

 

You all stare, but you'll never see

 

There is something inside me

 

You all stare, but you'll never see

 

There is something in you I despise

 

 

 

Cut me - show me - enter - I am

 

willing and able and never any danger to myself

 

Knowledge in my pain, knowledge in my pain

 

Or was my tolerance a phase?

 

Empathy, out of my way

 

I can't die

 

I can't die

 

I can't die

 

I can't... die

 

 

 

You all stare, but you'll never see

 

There is something inside me

 

You all stare, but you'll never see

 

There is something inside me

 

You all stare, but you'll never see

 

You all stare, but you'll never see

 

There is something in you I despise

 

 

 

despise

 

despise

[Tori Amos + Liquid Diamonds]

 

surrender then start your engines

you'll know quite soon what my mistake was

for those on horseback or dog sled

you turn at the bend in the road

 

i hear she still grants forgiveness

although i willingly forgot her

the offering is molasses

and you say

 

i guess i'm an underwater thing so i

guess i can't take it personally

i guess i'm an underwater thing

i'm liquid running

there's a sea secret in me

it's plain to see it is rising

but i must be flowing

liquid diamonds

 

calling for my soul

at the corners of the world

i know she's playing poker

with the rest of the stragglers

 

calling for my soul

at the corners of the world

i know she's playing poker with the rest

with the rest

 

and if your friends don't come back to you

and you know this is madness

a lilac mess in your prom dress

and you say

 

i guess i'm an underwater thing so i

guess i can't take it personally

i guess i'm an underwater thing

i'm liquid running

there's a sea secret in me

it's plain to see it is rising

but i must be flowing

liquid diamonds

 

I call

I go inside her shell

I see it's oh

and you're doing oh so well these days

you do it again

and I say it's coming back again

something like that

Saturday, such was it

Can he bring me those chains

keep it back

dead is the dawn

reaching back into himself

and keep it just between us yes

 

it's liquid

This song always gets me crying.

A few years back it hit so close to home for me.

 

[Tori Amos + Northern Lad]

 

Had a northern lad

well not exactly had

he moved like the sunset

God who painted that

 

first he loved my accent

how his knees could bend

I thought we'd be ok

me and my molasses

 

but I feel something is wrong

but I feel this cake just isn't done

don't say that you don't...

 

and if you could see me now

said if you could see me now

girls you've got to know

when it's time to turn the page

when you're only wet because of the rain

because of the rain

because of...

 

he don't show much these days

it gets so fucking cold

I loved his secret places

but I can't go anymore

 

"You change like sugar cane"

says my northern lad

I guess you go too far

when pianos try to be guitars

 

I feel the west in you

but I feel it's falling apart too

don't say that you don't...

 

and if you could see me now

said if you could see me now

girls you've got to know

when it's time to turn the page

when you're only wet because of the rain

when you're only wet because of the rain

because of the rain...

Kinda been stuck on Tori Amos for a week now. Currently switching between From the Choirgirl Hotel, and To Venus and Back.

 

 

Some info from www.hereinmyhead.com about Choirgirl:

cd69bbd8.gif

fcghcd.jpg

From The Choirgirl Hotel was released in the UK on May 4, 1998, one day earlier than the US. As her fourth solo and self-produced album, Tori encorporates her own official band which includes Matt Chamberlain on drums, bassist Jon Evans, and Steve Caton on guitar. The band would also follow her on the Sneak Preview Club Tour (more intimate settings for the die-hard fans) and the Plugged '98 Tour (upgrading to arenas), both supporting this album.

 

The first single from this album was Spark, and was one of the more radio-friendly songs to date. This album showed Tori's more experimental side, toying with techno loops and classic rock rifs, while dealing with emotional issues involving her marriage to sound engineer, Mark Hawley and her 1997 miscarriage. The second single in many European markets was Raspberry Swirl; though in the US, the second single was Jackie's Strength. The third single in the US was a Cruel/Raspberry Swirl, a double A-side release. The 4th single in the US was a remix single featuring remixes of the songs Jackie's Strength and Father Lucifer. Tori recorded the new album in a 300-year old farm house in Cornwall, England during the closing months of 1997.

 

From the same place; Some info on TVaB:

tvb1a.jpg

tvb3.jpg

 

Tori's fifth album released as a new double-CD, entitled To Venus And Back. The set features an all-new full-length studio album, plus a second disc recorded live in concert during Tori's acclaimed 1998 "Plugged" world tour. The studio disc of To Venus And Back features 11 new Amos-penned and produced songs recorded with the members of her "Plugged" touring band-longtime collaborator Steve Caton on guitar, Matt Chamberlain on drums, and Jon Evans on bass - plus programmer Andy Gray, with Tori on vocals and keyboards.

 

To Venus And Back was first conceived as a collection of Amos rarities. "I had originally thought we were tracking stuff for the B-sides album." "And all of these songs kept coming. The writing gods decided to stop by, and you try and be there when the muse decides she wants to hang around with you." "It became quite exciting because we had no idea we were cutting a new record," she says. "It just grabbed me by the throat, really. We ended up working around the clock and putting it together pretty quickly."

I Predict A Riot

 

 

 

Watching the people get lairy

It's not very pretty I tell thee

Walking through town is quite scary

It's not very sensible either

A friend of a friend he got beaten

He looked the wrong way at a policeman

Would never of happened to Smeaton

An old leodensian

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I tried to get to my taxi

The man in a tracksuit attacks me

He said that he saw it before me

And wants to get things a bit gory

Girls scrabble round with no clothes on

To borrow a pound for a condom

If it wasn't for chip fat they'd be frozen

they're not very sensible

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here

That doesn't want to be out there

Watching the people get lairy

It's not very pretty I tell thee

Walking through town is quite scary

It's not very sensible

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here

That doesn't want to be out there

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

Imogen Heap - Loose Ends.

 

(In no means is this a cryptic message for any personal relationship drama - this tune is just so fucking upbeat and catchy for a sad breakupsong.....)

 

 

Doing everything by halves,

You got a real flare with excuses

Meeting someone at the bar,

Where loose ends still have uses

 

It's complicated,

(This time I think it could be)

Triangulated,

(It could be just what we need)

So what you say, we give it up and walk away?

We're overrated, anyway

 

We're kissing without kissing,

And got it down to a fine art

Love's supposed to keep you young and frisky,

But we grew up and wide apart

Not now, not ever, no… it's never a good time

How will the good times ever roll on?

Comparing photos then and now, now and then,

Just wondering…(wondering) where it all went wrong

 

It's complicated,

(This time I think it could be)

Triangulated,

(It could be just what we need)

So what d’you say, we give it up and walk away?

Nothing to salvage anyway

 

Want to, oh, Need to, oh, Try to, oh

None of the above,

Want to, oh, Need to, oh, Try to, oh

None of the above,

Want to, oh, Need to, oh, Try to, oh

None of the above,

 

It's complicated,

(This time I think it could be)

Triangulated,

(It could be just what we need)

So what d’you say, we give it up and walk away?

We're overrated, anyway

 

It's complicated,

(This time I think it could be)

Triangulated,

World Wide Suicide by Pearl Jam

(the new album kicks)

 

I felt the earth on Monday. It moved beneath my feet.

In the form of a morning paper. Laid out for me to see.

 

Saw his face in a corner picture. I recognized the name.

Could not stop staring at the. Face I'd never see again.

 

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain

What does it mean when a war has taken over

 

It's the same everyday in a hell manmade

What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?

 

The whole world...World over.

It's a worldwide suicide.

 

Medals on a wooden mantle. Next to a handsome face.

That the president took for granted.

Writing checks that others pay.

 

And in all the madness. Thought becomes numb and naive.

So much to talk about. Nothing for to say.

 

It's the same everyday and the wave won't break

Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder

 

Laying claim to the take that our soldiers save

Does not equate, and the truth's already out there

 

The whole world,... World over.

It's a worldwide suicide.

 

The whole world,... World over.

It's a worldwide suicide.

 

Looking in the eyes of the fallen

You got to know there's another, another, another, another

Another way

 

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain

What does it mean when a war has taken over

 

It's the same everyday and the wave won't break

Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder

 

The whole world,... World over.

It's a worldwide suicide.

 

The whole world,... World over.

It's a worldwide suicide.

I'm Holding You (4:02)

I'm flyin (flying)

in a frame of my mind

that time cannot erase

 

i'm seein' (seein')

the future, the past

as i lay the present to waste

 

i'm scopin' (scopin')

all these feelings i have

and hopin' for them to come true

and i'm holdin'

something more precious

than fine ore, baby

i'm holdin' you

 

i'm breathin' (breathin')

the fumes of the grid

that rid my lobe of oxygen

 

i'm climbin' (climbin')

the walls to where good

and evil make a mends

 

i'm trippin

writhin' and squealing, pewkin'

looking for someone like you

and i'm holdin'

something more precious

than fine ore, baby

i'm holdin' you

 

(solos)

 

I'm flyin' (flyin')

in a frame of my mind

that time cannot erase

 

i'm seein' (seein')

the future, the past

as i lay the present to waste

 

i'm scopin' (scopin')

all these feelings i have

and hopin' for them to come true

and i'm holdin'

something more precious

than fine ore, baby

i'm holdin' you

 

and i'm holdin'

somethin' more precious

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday

 

I can't believe the news today

Oh, I can't close my eyes

And make it go away

How long...

How long must we sing this song?

How long? How long...

'cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...

 

Broken bottles under children's feet

Bodies strewn across the dead end street

But I won't heed the battle call

It puts my back up

Puts my back up against the wall

 

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

 

And the battle's just begun

There's many lost, but tell me who has won

The trench is dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters

Torn apart

 

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

 

How long...

How long must we sing this song?

How long? How long...

'cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...tonight...

 

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

 

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your tears away

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

 

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

 

And it's true we are immune

When fact is fiction and TV reality

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

 

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

 

The real battle just begun

To claim the victory Jesus won

On...

 

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Sunday Bloody Sunday...
