Well I got your late night call
Your in the center of it all
Your havin' a ball
And your really doin' fine
A west coast time
And I believe you

But here's one for the coast
The people with the most
The pretty, pretty folks
The west coast folks
Yeah here's one for the coast
The people with the most
The pretty, pretty folks
The west coast folks

And here we go again
It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah we know you love L.A.
There's nothing' left to say
Please no more California songs
And New York too

Yeah your heaven is a lie
Just more poo that I don't buy
Well they're headin' for the coast
They're movin' out in droves
Sendin' back reports on the radio
The message is the same
It's getting' pretty lame
California dreamin's on the radio

And here we go again
It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah we know you love L.A.
There's nothing' left to say
Please no more California songs
And here we go again
It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah we know you love L.A.
But there's nothing' left to say
Please no more California songs
And New York too

Alright (x's 9)

Here's one for the coast

It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah we know you love L.A.
There's nothing' left to say
Please no more California songs
And here we go again
It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah we know you love L.A.
There's nothin' left to say
Please no more California songs (x's 5)


And New York too

Well you’re walkin and a talkin
And a movin and a groovin
And a hippin and a hoppin
And a pickin and a boppin
Those bods are being bad
You better take a stand
You gonna wake up that thing in your hand
You’re looking all around
There is trouble to be found
Make sure when you find it you get to say it loud
Gotta code three
Need back up
Bring me
My bright pink fluro jacket

[Chorus]
He’s fat and he don’t run too fast
But he’s faster than me
Last night at the show we saw him
Going out of his tree



[Verse 2]
Well you’re walkin and a talkin
And a freakin and a yellin
And a bossin and a speakin
And a lookin and a pointin
Always tell us what to do
With your high top shoes
And you wave your torch
With your black short shorts
Don’t let em get away
Don’t think they can play
Nail ‘em to the wall
Cause you really need to say
Gotta code three
Need back up
Bring me
My bright pink fluro jacket

STERIOGRAM- WALKIE TALKIE MAN!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Well I'm a modern guy, I don't care much for the go-go
or the retro image I see so often telling me to
keep trying maybe you'll get here someday
keep up the working, ok
I close the book on them right there

I see myself change as the days change over
I hear the songs and the words don't change
I write them out of the book right there

We've been had, you say it's over
Sometimes I'm just happy I'm older
We've been had, I know it's over
Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud

See me age 19 with some dumb haircut from
1960, moving to New York City
live with my friends there we're all taking the same steps
they're foolish now

We've been had, you say it's over
Sometimes I'm just happy I'm older
We've been had, I know it's over
Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud

The Walkmen- "We've Been Had"

----------------

The leather boots I was born in
Are tattered, torn out and worn in
My skin is cracked as the desert ground

The dusty road that's ahead will
Be my board and my bed till
What I am looking for is found

And yesterday is right behind me like a loaded gun
So I'm racing toward the horizon

Faster, faster, I'm a trashy motorcycle beauty
The road is all I've ever known
Faster, faster, I'm the star in this disaster movie
And in the end I ride alone

Ride alone

I dig my heels in the gravel
I rig my gear up for travel
I swig a taste of my whiskey/gin

I met a s.uc.ker on Sunday
I took his wallet on Monday
Then I was out on the road again

And yesterday is right behind me like a loaded gun
So I'm racing toward the horizon

Faster, faster, I'm a trashy motorcycle beauty
The road is all I've ever known
Faster, faster, I'm the star in this disaster movie
And in the end I ride alone

Ride alone

Yesterday is right behind me like a loaded gun
So I'm racing toward the horizon

Faster, faster, I'm a trashy motorcycle beauty
You know my heart is paved in stone
Faster, faster, I'm the star in this disaster movie
And in the end I ride alone

Lalo

you have some good taste, Frank.

Sorry, Frank.

When I was still growing up and Dad headed off to work
He put coat and tie on over a fitted shirt
Nothing else would fit right
All seams so directly apply
The fitted shirt hung on me
Fitted shirt alright
I long for the days they used to say
Ma'am and yes sir
Now I'm going to find buttons for my
Dad's old used shirt
Fitted shirt
Fitted shirt
Been looking so long now
And no one's seen and no one's heard
When I go out tonight
I'm gonna put on a fitted shirt
One day it'll take and they'll start to make
Shirts that fit right
Till then i supose I'll stick out dad's clothes
And that's alright
Fitted shirt

(btw, mine was Bree Sharp "Faster, Faster" )

-----------------------------

You can't resist her
She's in your bones
She is your marrow
And your ride home
You can't avoid her
She's in the air (in the air)
In between molecules
Of oxygen and carbon dioxide

Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams

You walk up to her
Ask her to dance
She says, 'Hey baby
I just might take the chance'
You say, 'It's a good thing
That you float in the air (in the air)
That way there's no way
I will crush your pretty
Toenails into a thousand pieces.'

Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

Happy Jack. the who....

We got winners, we got losers
Chain smokers and boozers
And we got yuppies, we got bikers
We got thirsty hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love this bar

We got cowboys, we got truckers
Broken-hearted fools and stinkers
And we got hustlers, we got fighters
Early birds and all-nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

[Chorus:]
I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

I've seen short skirts, we got high-techs
Blue-collar boys and rednecks
And we got lovers, lots of lookers
And I've even seen dancing girls and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
O, Yes I do

I like my truck (I like my truck)
I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend)
I like to take her out to dinner
I like a movie now and then

But I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just trollin' around the dance floor
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

I love this bar Toby Keith----------

Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning
I was dreaming I was Al Capone
There's a rumour going round
Gotta clear outa town
I'm smelling like a dry fish bone
Here come the law gonna break down the door
Gonna carry me away once more
Never never I never want it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy stone cold crazy you know

Rainy afternoon I gotta blow a typhoon
And I'm playing on my slide trombone
Anymore anymore cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy stone cold crazy you know

Walking down the street
Shooting people that I meet
With my rubber Tommy water gun
Here come the deputy
He's gonna come and get me
I gotta get me up and run
They got the sirens loose
I ran right outa juice
They're gonna put me in a cell
If I can't go to heaven
Will they let me go to heck?
Crazy stone cold crazy you know

Metallica-Stone Cold Crazy

it's bugging me
grating me
and twisting me around
yeah I'm endlessly
caving in
and turning inside out

cause I want it now
I want it now
give me your heart and your soul
and I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
that's when she'll lose control

yeah it's hurting me
morphing me
and forcing me to strive
to be endlessly
cold within
and dreaming im alive

cause I want it now
I want it now
give me your heart and your soul
I'm not breaking down
I'm breaking out
that's when she'll lose control
and I want you now
I want you now

I feel my heart implode
and I'm breaking out
escaping now
feeling my faith grow old

Muse- Hysteria

-------------------------------------

I had a friend many years ago
One tragic night he died
The saddest time of my life
For weeks and weeks I cried
Through the anger and through the tears
I've felt his spirit through the years
I'd swear, He's watching me
Guiding me through hard times

I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me

We shared dreams like all best friends
Blood brothers at the age of ten
We lived reckless, he paid the price
But why? Why did he have to die?
It still hurts me to this day
Am I selfish for feeling this way?
I know he's an angel now
Together we'll be someday

I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me

Lalo

...seems no one got it...
that was "Watching Over Me" by Iced Earth

------------------------------------------------------------

The only place where you can dream, living here is not what it seems.
Ship of white light in the sky, nobody there to reason why.
Here I am, I'm not really there, smiling faces ever so rare.
A let's walk in deepest space, living here just isn't the place.

Stalks of light come from the ground, when I cry there isn't a sound.
All my feelings cannot be held, I'm happy in my new strange world.
Shades of green grasses twine, girls drinking plasma wine.
A look at love, a dream unfolds, living here, you'll never grow old.

Don't you hear me call?

Lalo

that was strange world- iron maiden

I want to live,
I want to give
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold.
It’s these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.

I’ve been to hollywood
I’ve been to redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold.

(here's a little european history for ya. HINT: the name of the song is the battle/city that is being sung about) :geek:

Usher in the rally cries
Revolution's here again
The emperor's bond's are broken
And free he shall remain

Escape, though narrow was demand
While his reign remained in view
This fight for France through bitter end
He must see it though

Coalition forms of many lands
Against Napoleon, West to east
Dogs of war will take to arms
And soon will be unleashed

Prussian, Russian, and Austrian
All follow British lead
At the allies' helm is Wellington
Who must make his foe concede

Forshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see
Nations aligning against you
Marking your time Your reign is through
...And you will see a 100 days
come to an end
Forshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see
Nations aligning against you
Marking your time Your reign is through
...It lies before you, fate shall befall you

Quickly the allies gather force
Near the Franco Belgain line
While 124,000 French
march there in double time

As the battle begins
Napoleon springs his audacious plan
He'll attack them on two fronts
splitting up his warring band

As the Prussians sound retreat
Behind they leave 10,000 slain
Most of their force is still intact
and will live to fight again

Wellington, who felt the loss
of 5,000 men
Would feel more under killing fire
bombardment from the French

Of all the wars I have waged
To propel my nations might
For this I'll be remembered
From now 'till the end of time
If To the victor goes the spoils
I may die an impoverished man
For in the end irony
has dealt the cruelest hand

The French force was swift and sure
But their attack would be repelled
And though the center batteed
The Anglo-Dutch line would be held

And as fate or skill would have it
And army moves in from the east
The Prussians, who slipped through his hands
Would soon spell his defeat

The French lines now are broken
And being open to attack
The emperor has no choice
And the old guard calls him back

45,000 wounded or dead
When the fight was finally through
On a 3 mile square the battlefield
Near a town named ****
