[Glynnavyre]

[Timm]

DIE COUNTRY MUSIC!!!

[Elondriel]

Timm, that's the spirit! Die country Music


I think this relates to my being when i hear country music
The outsider - Perfect circle
disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time
what's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
if you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere,
do it somewhere far away from here

[Timm]

<3<3 this song so much!

Trapped in a Box-No Doubt

Trapped in a box of tremendous size
It distorts my vision it closes my eyes
Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies
And sucks up our lives and proliferates lies


Trapped in a box


Trapped in a box four walls as sky
Got a screen for a window about two feet wide
My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
No room for thought use the box as my guide
Trapped in a box


Ooh trapped in a box
Watch the
World as it flocks
To life's
Paradox
We're all
Trapped in a box


Trapped in a box I'm not alone
I know of others with a box as their home
Light only enters from a crack or a hole
This is not enough for a human to grow
Trapped in a box


Ooh, trapped in a box
Watch the
World as it flocks
To life's
Paradox
We're all
Trapped in a box


>>Guitar Solo>>


Always wanting a different view
Instant gratification for you
Reality gone with a single click
I just hope that that switch won't stick


Trapped in a box my life becomes void
And all I thought for myself is now destroyed
Controlling my mind, what to eat, what to buy
Subliminal rules: how to live, how to die
Trapped in a box


Ooh, trapped in a box
Watch the
World as it flocks
To life's
Paradox
We're all
Trapped in a box


Ooh, trapped in a box
Watch the
World as it flocks
To life's
Paradox
We're all
Trapped in a box


Ooh-OO-ooh
OO-OO-oo-oo - oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-ooh…

Okay, I'm just catching up with this thread since I came home, so bear with me bringing up old topics.

I love all sorts of music, and when I say that I really do mean I like a bit of everything. Rock has alwasy been my fave though, and I hadn't heard any rap till a few years ago. I hadn't really thought about it much and had pretty much dismissed it as a bunch of morons swearing all the time. But I was introduced to it properly and discovered that it can be really good. Of course there are some morons in rap, but there are morons in any style of music. Most of the good rap is older, or underground.
Oh,a dn I also love a lot of country too. Throw in some current pop, 60's, 70's and 80's music, 20's and 30's blues,a dn a lot of classic rock and you're comign close to my collection. I never said I wasn't strange......

[Miska]

i dont mind country...but go the jazz and blues!!!! i love that stuff!!! esp the good ol' skool styles originals are always the best!

[Talmina]

finally some other people out there on the net who like country my friends have finally accpeted the fact that im a bit of a yokel sometimes, some if them have even started warming to the fact. ok well it was only one or two friends that gave me a hard time bout it but still. my best friend actually cracked up when i told him.

and now to continue the game

Dido – life for rent

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent...

[Miska]

evanesence-bring me to life!

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where i've become so numb
without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home
wake me up inside
wake me up inside
call my name and save me from the dark
bid my blood to run
before i come undone
save me from the nothing i've become

now that i know what i'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

wake me up inside
wake me up inside
call my name and save me from the dark
bid my blood to run
before i come undone
save me from the nothing i've become
bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch
without your love darling
only you are the life among the dead

all this time i can't believe i couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
i've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life
....................................................
but i soooooooooo love dido too... thankyou is the best!

[Timm]

I KNOW miska didn't type that!

[Miska]

HEY! i am soooooooo gettin better!!! honest!!! *pokes tongue out*

[Talmina]

U2 – with or without you

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait...without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you


my ex boyfriend/best friend sang this to me while i was still with my last boyfriend and then again about a week after we broke up. gee think he was trying to hint at something. well its the only time ive been serenaded so yeah its very special to . that and i love U2. i cant believe i just told you about that, but yeah, it was probably the most romantic moment of my life.

MAJOR GENERAL STANLEY:
I am the very model of a modern Major General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

ALL: With many cheerful facts...

GENERAL STANLEY: I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major General.

ALL: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major General.

Major General Stanley is yet another example of Gilbert & Sullivan's mockeries of British aristocracy. He demonstrates ability of knowledge in mathematics, history, and literature frequently yet lists no great military victories to his name.

GENERAL STANLEY: I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

ALL: And whistle all the airs...

In this verse Gilbert & Sullivan actually mock their previous production, HMS Pinafore, and the nature of its music. Soon after it's release, HMS Pinafore gained widespread popularity with a lasting production time. Particularly noticed was the nature of its music which soon gained reputation as extremely "catchy" and prompting of "whistling."

GENERAL STANLEY: Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

ALL: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.

Again the General is seen to know the details of historical uniforms and language but no demonstrated skill in battle.

GENERAL STANLEY: In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.

ALL: You'll say a better Major-General...

GENERAL STANLEY: For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

Stanley finally introduces military knowledge in this verse yet it deals more with listing statistics and descriptions of equipment and historical events while strategy "has only been brought down to the beginning of the century."

ALL: But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.

GENERAL STANLEY: And now that I've introduced myself, I should like to
have some idea of what's going on.

This classic example of witty lyrics on Gilbert's part serves to introduce the grand figure of Major General in a way similar to Sir Joseph's 'When I was a Lad' in HMS Pinafore.

KING: Although our dark career
Sometimes involves the crime of stealing,
We rather think that we're
Not altogether void of feeling.
Although we live by strife,
We're always sorry to begin it,
For what, we ask, is life
Without a touch of Poetry in it?
(all kneel)
ALL: Hail, Poetry, thou heav'n-born maid!
Thou gildest e'en the pirate's trade.
Hail, flowing fount of sentiment!
All hail, all hail, divine emollient!
(all rise)

KING: You may go, for you're at liberty, our pirate rules
protect you,
And honorary members of our band we do elect you!

Gilbert often targets British custom, honor, and nobility through obnoxiously absurd display of it. Here pirates are seen discussing poetry along side the crimes of stealing in a mockery of hypocrisy among the cultured (for the pirates are revealed as former noblemen turned bad).

POLICE SERGEANT
When the foeman bares his steel,
Tarantara! tarantara!
We uncomfortable feel,
Tarantara!
And we find the wisest thing,
Tarantara! tarantara!
Is to slap our chests and sing,
Tarantara!
For when threatened with meutes,
Tarantara! tarantara!
And your heart is in your boots,
Tarantara!
There is nothing brings it round
Like the trumpet's martial sound,
Like the trumpet's martial sound
Tarantara! tarantara!, etc.

MABEL: Go, ye heroes, go to glory,
Though you die in combat gory,
Ye shall live in song and story.
Go to immortality!
Go to death, and go to slaughter;
Die, and every Cornish daughter
With her tears your grave shall water.
Go, ye heroes, go and die!

GIRLS: Go, ye heroes, go and die! Go, ye heroes, go and die!

POLICE: Though to us it's evident,
Tarantara! tarantara!
These attentions are well meant,
Tarantara!
Such expressions don't appear,
Tarantara! tarantara!
Calculated men to cheer
Tarantara!
Who are going to meet their fate
In a highly nervous state.
Tarantara! tarantara! tarantara!
Still to us it's evident
These attentions are well meant.
Tarantara! tarantara! tarantara!

EDITH: Go and do your best endeavour,
And before all links we sever,
We will say farewell for-ever.
Go to glory and the grave!
GIRLS: For your foes are fierce and ruthless,
False, unmerciful, and truthless;
Young and tender, old and toothless,
All in vain their mercy crave.

SERGEANT: We observe too great a stress,
On the risks that on us press,
And of reference a lack
To our chance of coming back.
Still, perhaps it would be wise
Not to carp or criticise,
For it's very evident
These attentions are well meant.

POLICE: Yes, it's very evident
These attentions are well meant,
Evident, yes, well meant, evident
Ah, yes, well meant!

PIRATES: (very loud)
With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.
No sound at all!
We never speak a word;
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard--

POLICE:
(softly) Tarantara, tarantara!

PIRATES:
So stealthily the pirate creeps,
While all the household soundly sleeps.

Come, friends, who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;
Let's vary piracee
With a little burglaree!

Come, friends, who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;
Let's vary piracee
With a little burglaree!

SAMUEL:
(distributing implements to various members of the gang)
Here's your crowbar and your centrebit,
Your life-preserver -- you may want to hit!
Your silent matches, your dark lantern seize,
Take your file and your skeletonic keys.

POLICE:
Tarantara!

PIRATES:
With cat-like tread

POLICE:
Tarantara!

PIRATES:
In silence dread,

(Enter KING, FREDERIC and RUTH)
ALL (fortissimo).

With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.

No sound at all!
We never speak a word;
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard--

Come, friends, who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;
Let's vary piracee
With a little burglaree!

With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.
