That last one reminded me of this:

 

On top of Old Smokey, all covered with blood,

I killed my poor teacher with five million slugs.

 

I went to his funeral; I went to his grave.

Instead of red roses, I threw a grenade.

 

The grenade was useless; the slugs were no good.

What you need is a hammer and a stake made of wood.

[death tribble]

Bah Humbug; now that's too strong!
'Cause it is my favorite holiday.
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from last year.
Ski shop encounter most interesting.
Had his number but never the time,
Most of '81 passed along those lines.
So deck those halls. Trim those trees.
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer.
I just need to catch my breath;
Christmas by myself this year

[death tribble]

My first, my last, my everything
And the answer to all my dreams
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star
My kind of wonderful, that's what you are

[death tribble]

When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low,
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow,
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads.

Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry.
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives.

But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

You cry out in your sleep,
All my failings exposed.
And there's a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Just that something so good
Just can't function no more.

But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

[death tribble]

If I had money I'd go out
Buy you furs, dress you like a queen
And in a chauffeured limousine
We'd look so fine

 

But I'm an ordinary guy
And my pockets are empty
Just an ordinary guy
But I'm yours till I die

 

I can't give you anything
But my love, but my love
I can't give you anything
But my love, but my love

[death tribble]

It worries me this kind of thing
How you hope to live alone
And occupy your waking hours
We're taking sides again
I just wept I couldn't understand
Why you started this again

And every day you send me more
It makes it worse is this a plan of yours
To ensure I don't forget
I'd write and tell you that I've burnt them all
But you never send me your address
And i've, I've kept them anyway

So don't ask me if I think it's true
That communication can bring hope to those
Who have gone their separate ways
It hardly touched me when it should have then
But memories are uncertain friends
When recalled by messages

Coded messages
Poison letters

[death tribble]

I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

[death tribble]

As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
And I follow the tracks that lead me down
And I never follow what's right
And they wonder sometimes when they see all the
Sadness and pain the truth begins to light

[death tribble]

Good God, you said
Is that the only thing you care about
Splitting up the money
And share it out
The cake's being eaten
Straight through the mouth
Poison
Poised to come back in
Season
For all the ones who lack
Reason

Measure by measure, drop by drop
And pound for pound, we're taking stock
Of all the treasure still unlocked
The love you found must never stop

[death tribble]

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

[death tribble]

"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright.
Singing' "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Saying', ("This is my message to you")

[Cygnia]

 

La donna e mobile

Qual piuma al vento

Muta d'accento

 

E di pensiero.

 

Sempre un a mabile

Leggiadro viso, 

In pianto o in riso, 

Mensognero.

 

La donna e mobile

Qual piuma al vento, 

Muta d'accento

E di pensier, 

E di pensier, 

 

E di pensier! 

 

E' sempre misero

Chi a lei s'affida, 

Chi a le confida, 

Mal cauto il core! 

 

Pur mai non sentesi

Felice appieno

Chi su quel seno, 

Non liba amore! 

 

La donna e mobile

Qual piuma al vento, 

Muta d'accento

E di pensier, 

E di pensier, 

E di pensier!

 

 

Dumb question, but was this done by Eros Ramazotti?

[L. Marcus]

It's from one of those opera thingies. One of the famous ones.

[Cancer]

In a place you only dream of

Where your soul is always free

Silver stages, golden curtains

Filled my head, plain as can be

As a rainbow grew around the sun

All the stars above who died came from

Somewhere beyond the scene you see

These lovely people played just for me

 

Now if I let you see this place

Where stories all ring true

Will you let me past your face

To see what's really you

It's not for me I ask this question

As though I were a king

For you have to love, believe, and feel

Before the burst of tambourines take you there

 

Green grass and high tides forever

Castles of stone, souls and glory

Lost faces say we adore you

As kings and queens bow and play for you

 

Those who don't believe me

Find your souls and set them free

Those who do, believe and know

This time will be your key

Time and time again I've thanked them

For a peace of mind

That helped me find myself

Amongst the music and the rhyme

That enchants you there

 

Green grass and high tides forever

Castles of stone, souls and glory

Lost faces say we adore you

As kings and queens bow and play for you

 

Yeah, they play just for you

[Enforcer84]

Oh well, I've got a girl with a record machine

When it comes to rockin' she's the queen

We love to dance on a Saturday night

All alone, I can hold her tight

But she lives in a twentieth floor up town

The elevator's broken down

 

So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four

Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more

Up on the twelfth I started to drag

Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag

Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

 

When she calles me up on the telephone

Said c'mon over honey, I'm all alone

I said baby, you're mighty sweet

But I'm in the bed with a achin' feet

This went on for a couple of days

But I couldn't stay away

 

So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four

Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more

Up on the twelfth I'm ready to drag

Fifteenth floor I started to sag

Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

 

(Guitar solo)

 

Well, they sent to Chicago for repairs

'Till it's a-fixed I'm using the stairs

Hope they hurry up before it's too late

Want my baby too much to wait

All this climbin' is gettin' me down

They'll find my corpse draped over a rail

 

But I climbed one, two flight, three flight, four

Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more

Up on the twelfth I'm ready to drag

Fifteenth floor I started to sag

Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

[Clonus]

I need some breathing space

I won't grow old with grace

I need some breathing space

I can't keep living straight

 

We ain't gonna linger and lie low

When there's hard cash coming back

[tkdguy]

Dumb question, but was this done by Eros Ramazotti?

 

No, it's one of the arias from Verdi's Rigoletto. You can hear La donna e mobile on YouTube.

[Pariah]

Always sharply dressed, like an emperor out of his time

He knows every corner of the pathways crossing your mind

He can make you believe there's a way to your dreams

For only he holds the key

He's got that thing that makes you believe the answer's on his side

Watch out, the man's wearing shades in the night

The Kameleon Man

 

No one really knows what the Hell is going on in his mind

He will firmly support your belief, then tomorrow deny

He's everyone's friend, and he makes sure all enemies die

Ask him what he thinks about this and he'll certainly lie

Look out, he aims at your dreams with a gun

The Kamelon Man

 

The way he talks to you is with dollar signs in place of his eyes

He could sell you his mother for a penny if the profit is high

Watch out, he's like the man in the moon

He's watching your every move

Look out, his anger is cruel

He'll capture you very soon

The Kameleon Man

 

Always sharply dressed, like a penguin--same walk, I find

He knows every corner of the pathways crossing your mind

Watch out, he's like the man in the moon

He's watching your every move

Look out, his anger is cruel

He'll capture you very soon

The Kameleon Man

The Kameleon Man

Watch out if you can

For the Kameleon Man

[Enforcer84]

In the morning it comes, heaven sent a hurricane

Not a trace of the sun but I don't even run from rain

Beating out of my chest, my heart is holding on to you

From the moment I knew

From the moment I knew

 

You are the air in my breath filling up my love soaked lungs

Such a beautiful mess intertwined and overrun

Nothing better than this, oh, and then the storm can come

You feel just like the sun

Just like the sun

 

And if you say we'll be alright

I'm gonna trust you, babe

I'm gonna look in your eyes

And if you say we'll be alright

I'll follow you into the light

 

Never mind what I knew, nothing seems to matter now

Ooh, who I was without you, I can do without

No one knows where it ends, how it may come tumbling down

But I'm here with you now

I'm with you now

 

And if you say we'll be alright

I'm gonna trust you, babe

I'm gonna look in your eyes

And if you say we'll be alright

I'll follow you into the light

 

Let the world come rush in

Come down hard, come crushing

All I need is right here beside me

I'm not enough, I swear it

But take my love and and wear it over your shoulders

 

And if you say we'll be alright

I'm gonna trust you, babe

I'm gonna look in your eyes

And if you say we'll be alright

I'll follow you into the light

[Cancer]

Katy tried

I was halfway crucified

I was on the other side

Of no tomorrow

You walked in

And my life began again

Just when I'd spent the last piaster

I could borrow

All night long

We would sing that stupid song

And every word we sang

I knew was true

Are you with me Doctor Wu

Are you really just a shadow

Of the man that I once knew

Are you crazy are you high

Or just an ordinary guy

Have you done all you can do

Are you with me Doctor

 

Don't seem right

I've been strung out here all night

I've been waiting for the taste

You said you'd bring to me

Biscayne Bay

Where the Cuban gentlemen sleep all day

I went searching for the song

You used to sing to me

Katy lies

You could see it in her eyes

But imagine my surprise

When I saw you

 

Are you with me Doctor Wu

Are you really just a shadow

Of the man that I once knew

She is lovely yes she's sly

And you're an ordinary guy

Has she finally got to you

Can you hear me Doctor...

[Enforcer84]

Did I lose you in the moment

did I let it slip away

confused by words I stammered out 

and even more by what I didn't say

I'm surrounded by your echo

and the image of your face

words are coming to me now 

many hours too late

[Old Man]

To da one on da flam

Boy it's tough

I just toss that ham in the fryin' pan

Like spam

It's done when I come in

 

Slam

 

Damn, I feel like the Son of Sam

Don't make me wrek ya hectic

Automatic got me goin' like Gen'ral Electric

 

Damn

 

The lights are blinking I'm thinking

It's all over when I go out drinking

 

Oh

 

Makin' my mind slow,

That's why I don't f__k wit da big four-oh

 

Bro

 

I got ta' maintain

'Cause a n___a like me is goin' insane

 

Insane in the membrane

Insane in the brain

[death tribble]

Sunlight comes creeping in
Illuminates our skin
We watch the day go by
Stories of all we did
It made me think of you
It made me think of you

Under a trillion stars
We danced on top of cars
Took pictures of the stage
So far from where we are
They made me think of you
They made me think of you

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these wings could fly
For the rest of our lives

I'm in a foreign state
My thoughts they slip away
My words are leaving me
They caught an aeroplane
Because I thought of you
Just from the thought of you

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these wings could fly
Oh damn these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We'd remember tonight
For the rest of our lives

If these wings could fly

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these wings could fly
Oh damn these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We'd remember tonight
For the rest of our lives

[death tribble]

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me

[death tribble]

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
