THE POGUES THE SICKBED OF CUCHULAINN

Mccormack and richard tauber are singing by the bed

There's a glass of punch below your feet and an angel at your head

There's devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands

You need one more drop of poison and you'll dream of foreign lands

 

When you pissed yourself in frankfurt and got syph down in cologne

And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone

Frank ryan brought you whiskey in a brothel in madrid

And you decked some f*****g blackshirt who was cursing all the yids

At the sick bed of cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer

And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair

 

And in the euston tavern you screamed it was your shout

But they wouldn't give you service so you kicked the windows out

They took you out into the street and kicked you in the brains

So you walked back in through a bolted door and did it all again

At the sick bed of cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer

And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair

 

You remember that foul evening when you heard the banshees howl

There was lousy drunken b*****ds singing billy is in the bowl

They took you up to midnight mass and left you in the lurch

So you dropped a button in the plate and spewed up in the church

 

Now you'll sing a song of liberty for blacks and paks and jocks

And they'll take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box

Then they'll take you to cloughprior and shove you in the ground

But you'll stick your head back out and shout "we'll have another round"

At the graveside of cuchulainn we'll kneel around and pray

And god is in his heaven, and billy's down by the bay

DAVID GRAY ---- SHINE

I can see it in your eyes

what I know in my heart is true

that our love it has faded

like the summer run through

so we'll walk down the shoreline

one last time together

feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts

like a feather

but who knows what's waiting

in the wings of time

dry your eyes

we gotta go where we can shine

 

Don't be hiding in sorrow

or clinging to the past

with your beauty so precious

and the season so fast

no matter how cold the horizon appear

or how far the first night

when I held you near

you gotta rise from these ashes

like a bird of flame

step out of the shadow

we've gotta go where we can shine

 

For all that we struggle

for all we pretend

it don't come down to nothing

except love in the end

and ours is a road

that is strewn with goodbyes

but as it unfolds

as it all unwinds

remember your soul is the one thing

you can't compromise

take my hand

we're gonna go where we can shine

we're gonna go where we can shine

we're gonna go where we can shine

 

(and look, and look)

Through the windows of midnight

moonfoam and silver

[craig 0]

Gotta agree with hurt, nothing like a dying man spitting venom at the world, genius

 

Rags to rags - the eels

 

higher than the sun - primal scream

 

hopipolla- sigur ros, dont know what there singing about cause its in icelandic but its stunning

"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

 

[Chorus:]

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away

In the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

 

I wear this crown of thorns

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

 

[Chorus:]

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away

In the end

And 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

 

Johnny Cash

 

Hurt is by one of my fave bands, Nine Inch nails..His is merely a cover...

I much prefer cashs cover of Depeche modes personal Jesus

If one song means more to me than anything it is probably never walk alone, nothing like hearing 65 , 000 celts singing it at full cry on the european nights...hairs on neck moments... But for

"Hurt" Johnny Cash

 

great song. i loved the nine inch nails version, then i saw the video for the johnny cash version, and was totally floored...

 

The bit where June Carter looks at him , she is on the stairs, floored me as well

the lyrics to every stone roses song,what a bloke ian brown was .moody but brilliant.

[lampinglurcher 36]

wel now, best lyrics? we're not talking best song but either tom waits' time;

Well the smart moneys on harlow and the moon is in the street

And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws

And youre east of east saint louis and the wind is making speeches

And the rain sounds like a round of applause

And napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon

His invisible fiancees in the mirror

And the band is going home, its raining hammers, its raining nails

And its true theres nothing left for him down here

 

And its time time time, and its time time time

And its time time time that you love

And its time time time

 

And they all pretend theyre orphans and their memorys like a train

You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away

And the things you cant remember tell the things you cant forget

That history puts a saint in every dream

 

Well she said shed stick around until the bandages came off

But these mamas boys just dont know when to quit

And mathilda asks the sailors are those dreams or are those prayers?

So close your eyes, son, and this wont hurt a bit

 

Oh its time time time, and its time time time

And its time time time that you love

 

OR murderdolls lets f**k;

I don't wanna' meet your mom and dad,

Unless you'll let me f**k your mom and dress your dad in drag.

 

Let's f**k!

Let's f**k!

Let's f**k!

Let's f**k!

 

Bitchslap you slut and I don't care

And when I' m done I'll kick your f*****g ass down the stairs.

 

Let's f**k!

Let's f**k!

Let's f**k!

Let's f**k!

 

And I don't need a warm and cozy place,

'Cause when I'm done I'll break a f*****g bottle on your face!

 

Let's f**k!

Let's f**k!

Let's f**k!

Let's f**k!

 

Let's f**k! (Oh, he's bad).

Let's f**k! (Oh, yes I want it).

Let's f**k! (Oh, yeah).

Let's f**k! (Ohhhhh)

 

Let's f**k you f*****g whore.

I wanna' f**k!

 

And its time time time

 

Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl

The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street

And when theyre on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot

And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet

So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips

As the dish outside the window fills with rain

Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart

And pay the fiddler off til I come back again

 

Oh its time time time, and its time time time

And its time time time that you love

And its time time time

And its time time time, and its time time time

And its time time time that you love

And its time time time
