Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.

Grandma go run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there watchin' football,
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.

It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family's dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of pig.
And a blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbours.
Better watch out for yourselves.
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Murder On The Dancefloor

It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove
Dj, gonna burn this goddamn house right down
Oh, I know I know I know I know I know I know
About your kind
And so and so and so and so and so
I'll have to play
If you think you're getting away
I will prove you wrong
I'll take you all the way
Boy, just come along
Hear me when I say
Hey, It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
Dj, gonna burn this goddamn house right down
Oh I know I know I know I know I know I know
About your kind
And so and so and so and so and so and so
You'll just have to pray
Don't think you'll get away
I will prove you wrong
I'll lead you all astray
Stay another song
I'll blow you all away
Hey, It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove
Murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
DJ, gonna turn this house around somehow
Murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove
Hey, hey
Murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
Dj, gonna burn this goddamn house right down

Where the Wild Roses Grow
Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue

Where The Wild Roses Grow


They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

CHORUS

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day he came with a single red rose
Said, "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
He said, "If I show you the roses will you follow?"

CHORUS

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said "All beauty must die"
Lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

CHORUS

Eurythmics
She's Invisible Now

Takes a step back
From the vacant chair
Looking in the mirror
While she's combing her hair
Wipes the dust from a cup
While she's cleaning up
Wonders very slightly
What she's doing there

A simple reflection
Can be too revealing
Years are for counting
Years are for stealing
She's a mathematician

Calculator
Counting daily
Counting forever...

Cold clean glass and a razor blade
Fly on the table and a passing car
Closes the curtain to keep in the shade
Closes her head and now she's counting down

Dust is collecting
But she doesn't notice
Counting for ever
She's a calculator
No-one can see her

She's invisible now
No-one can see her
And the dust is collecting

Eurythmics
Your Time Will Come

She is but a shadow
Of her former self
You can't recognise her
She is someone else

Your time will come

She is not the same person
She just keeps changing

She is but a shadow of her former self

Your time will come

In the garden...
In the stillness of morning

Your time will come

Les animaux sont arrivés
Jour par jour se travaille
Dans le train
En auto
Sur les bicyclettes

Les animaux sont arrivés
Jour par jour se travaille

Dans le train
Chaque semaine
Sur les bicyclettes
Dans les rues
C'est partout
Dans les places publiques

Toutes les bêtes de la cité

Toutes les personnes fatiguées
A les maisons retournent
Les métiers c'est terminé

Regardez Regardez

Toutes les personnes fatiguées

Quelle horreur qu'est ce que c'est
C'est la vie juste la vie
Presque la vie

The Smiths- Meat is Murder
(Morrisey/Marr)

Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER

And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It's death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER


And the calf that you carve with a smile
Is MURDER
And the turkey you festively slice
Is MURDER
Do you know how animals die ?


Kitchen aromas aren't very homely
It's not "comforting", cheery or kind
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench
Of MURDER


It's not "natural", "normal" or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour
Of MURDER


NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
Oh ... and who hears when animals cry ?

Eurythmics
Revenge

She said revenge can be so sweet
I like to take it when I can
I need to play with the ones I hate
I like to see them suffer

It has to be dangerous
It has to be refined
It has to be skillful
You need to take your time

She said, "You got a snake,
And that's a good example
You don't even notice it until you're bitten,
You learn to enjoy it.

It has to be dangerous
It has to be refined
It has to be skillful
You need to take your time

She said I take care
Of my resources
You never know
When you might need them

I'm fast and I'm strong
My reflexes are good
It doesn't take long
To achieve my deserved revenge

Revenge
Revenge
Revenge
Revenge

I LOOOVE to see them suffer!

Revenge- SHUT DOWN!
Revenge
Revenge

I've Got An Angel

I've got an angel
Oh I've got an angel
The power of imagination
Goes right to my head
The power of imagination
Goes right to my head
(And I said)
It's time it's time it's time to kill
It's time it's time it's time to kill

Jennifer

Jennifer with your orange hair
Jennifer with your green eyes
Jennifer in your dress of deepest purple
Jennifer - Where are you tonight?
Jennifer - Where are you tonight?

Jennifer - Where are you tonight?

Regrets

I've got a delicate mind
I've got a dangerous nature
And my fist collides
With your furniture
I've got a delicate mind
I've got a dangerous nature
And my fist collides
With your furniture

I'm an electric wire
And I'm stuck inside your head

I'm a hungry Mohican
I've got a razor blade smile
So don't come near me
I've got a singular style
Fifteen senses
Are on my plate
All the things
You love to hate

I'm an electric wire
And I'm stuck inside your head

Where I go to no one knows
Find me where the cold wind blows
Regrets

Black is red and red is white
In this country I do what I like
Regrets

(That's right that's right..)

Eurythmics
Aqua

Don't touch me
Don't talk to me about it
Don't touch me
Don't talk to me - ever again

I don't feel anything
All sensation is closed to me
I saw you put the needle in
(I can still see) everything

Take me to a quiet place
Throw me in the water
Watch the bubbles surface as
I'm slowly sinking under

Eurythmics
No Fear No Hate No Pain No Broken Hearts

Well in the morning
When our day begins
And it feels like cold cold steel
And when the sun comes up
It's like a new commotion
You say nobody told you
It would feel like this

No fear no hate no pain no broken hearts

You've got the killing gun
Held in your hand
It feels like cold cold steel
And when the sun comes up
It's like a new commotion
You say shoot shoot shoot it up
shoot it up

Sexcrime(Nineteen Eighty-Four)

Can I take this for granted
With your eyes over me?
In this place
This wintery home
I know there's always someone in

Sexcrime
Sexcrime
Nineteen eighty four

And so I face the wall
Turn my back against it all
How I wish I'd been unborn
Wish I was unliving here

Sexcrime
Sexcrime
Nineteen eighty four

I'll pull the bricks down
One by one
Leave a big hole in the wall
Just where you are looking in

For The Love Of Big Brother

Like a train passing in the distance
Like a bird in flight
I hear you call
And even though there's no one
Dark shadows move across the wall

I still hear the echoes
Of your footsteps on the stairs
Still recall the images that
Seem to live out there

Faces seem like fingerprints
Like skeletons of leaves upon the lawn
People changing places
Lasting for a moment
Then it's gone

I still hear the echoes
Of your footsteps on the stairs
Still recall the images that
Seem to live out there

Like a train passing in the distance
Like a bird in flight
I hear you call
And even though there's no one
Dark shadows move across the wall

I still hear the sound of
Conversation from the hall
Look to see who's coming
But it's nothing
And there's no one there at all
(No one there at all)

Eurythmics
Julia

When the leaves
Turn from green to brown
And autumn shades
Come tumbling down
To leave a carpet on the ground
Where we have laid

When winter leaves her branches bare
And icy breezes chill the air
The freezing snow lies everywhere
My darling
Will we still be there?

Julia

When spring rejoices
Down the lane
And everything is new again
Will everything be
Just the same
Will we be there?

Oh Julia

For you and I are privileged to serve the great Republic
In what could be the most decisive decade in its long history.
The choices we make, for good or ill,
will affect the welfare of generations yet unborn.

I see the chickens have come home to roost (repeat 6x)

In the world beyond our borders,
Steady progress has been made in building a world of order.
The people of West Berlin remain free and secure.
A settlement, though still precarious, has been reached in Laos.

ANGEL

Underneath this canopy of snow
Where fifty-seven winters
Took their toll
Where did you go?

And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing psalms on a Sunday
(Where did you go?)

Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...
Come to save her soul...
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime
Well past bedtime

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel...

She took her life
Within her hands
She took her life
Within her own two hands
And no-one can tell her
What to do now

And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singin live from Las Vegas
(Where did you go?)

Well she's gone to meet
Her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul...

SYLVIA

Sylvia is missing -
Dark stars tattooed
Across her face...
Tiny bruises
Black & blue
The dedication on her arm
Reads "LOVE & HATE"
Yea yea

Passing through the underground
Sylvia is coming down
The queen has lost her crown
Today...

She wants to fall
Into a deep deep sleep
So she can forget herself

Run away to London
Lipstick tainted
Powder painted
Perfume in her hair

Run away to London
A thousand cold caresses
Couldn't keep her there
Yea yea

She wants to fall
Into a deep deep sleep
So she can forget herself

The finger prints
Of strangers
On the ugly bedroom floor
Reveal the only traces
Of what Sylvia was for

Play dead - Bjork

darling
stop confusing me
with your wishful thinking
hopeful embraces
don't you understand?

i have to go through this
i belong to here where
no-one cares and no-one loves

no light no air to live in
a place called hate
the city of fear

i play dead
it stops the hurting
i play dead
and the hurt stops

it's sometimes just like sleeping
curling up
inside
my
private tortures
i nestle into pain
hug suffering
caress every ache

i play dead
it stops the hurting

Human League- Seconds


All day
Hiding from the sun
Waiting for the golden one
Waiting for your fame
After the parade has gone

Outside was a happy place
Every face had a smile like the golden face
For a second
Your knuckles white as your fingers curl
The shot that was heard around the world
For a second

It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds

It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds

It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds of your time to take his life
Seconds
Seconds

It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds

For a second

It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds

For a second

It took seconds of your time to take his life
Seconds of your time to take his life
For a second
For a second
For a second

As you can see, Annie don't PLAY.

General Public- Murder


what made the truth sound like a lie
led step by step into desire
choose to be understanding
say you don't care when i know you do
i can sleep at night, but each time i try
you know i dream of you

it's murder murder murder

no time for cheap excuses like
"he can't help it" "she can't help it"
jump out of the bed & straight into the fire
how are you meant to stand it
stuck in a world that's seen much better days
you can reach for love
scream till you're red, white and blue in the face

it's murder, murder
look but don't touch
murder murder
when he wants you so much
murder murder
look but don't touch
murder murder
when he wants you so much

what made the truth sound like a lie
jump out of bed & straight into the fire
choose to be complicated
say it isn't when you know it is
always on my mind
thinking about what you do to his, its

murder, murder, murder
when he wants you so much
murder, murder
look but don't touch
murder, murder

oh murder, murder
look but look but don't touch
murder
when he wants you, he wants you so much

murder
it's murder

Somebody Got Murdered
(The Clash)

Someone lights a cigarette
While riding in a car
Some ol' guy takes a swig
And passes back the jar
But where they were last night
No-one can remember
Somebody got murdered
Goodbye, for keeps, forever

Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever

And you're minding your own business
Carrying spare change
You wouldn't cosh a barber
You're hungry all the same
I been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill

Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They'll scrub it off the ground
As the daily crown disperses
No-one says that much
Somebody got murdered
And it' left me with a touch

Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever
Sounds like murder!
Those shouts!
Are they drunk down below?

It's late, and my watch stopped
Some time ago
Sounds like murder!
Those screams!
Are they drunk down below?

Dead By Christmas
Hanoi Rocks

Friday is the 13th to 24th
It's not so long to go, though my face don't show
My temperature it's gettin' too low
I've seen it all in a dream
I know just how it's gonna feel
Like not to be alive anymore I'll be dead by Christmas now anyway
Tell me will you remember me that day
When you've found a new one
Who's better than I ever was
I'll be dead by Christmas now anyway
Please give all my things away
They'll make great Christmas presents for you and for all my friends
It hurts so inside
To see you with another
From the edge of a cloud
Whatever happened to the promises that you gave
Before the angels took me away
So here I'm all dressed in white
While you're drinking up my best red wine
And you don't realize that I'm with you all the time
It's getting so lonely without you
And I'm sure I am jealous too
To see another man in my bed
Be sure I can't get no rest
Before you're up there with me... Come up, come up, come up, come up
I've been dead since Christmas now anyway
So leave the flowers on my grave
There's sure a way you could join me any day around now honey
You'll be dead by Christmas now anyway
You'll lay beside me in our family grave
We'll be making love eternally... In a spiritual way
We'll be dead by Christmas now anyway
We'll sell everything away...
Dead by Christmas, dead and gone
Christmas is forever we got a life to live, a life after death...

"i don't like mondays'

Red Hot Chili Peppers - written about Kurt Cobain


My mouth fell open
Hoping that the truth
Would not be true
Refuse the news

I'm feeling sick now
What the fuck am I
Supposed to do
Just loose and loose

First time I saw you
you were sitting
Backstage in a dress
A perfect mess

You never knew this
But I wanted badly for you to
Requite my love


Left on the floor
Leaving your body
When highs are the lows
And lows are the way
So hard to stay
Guess now you know
I love you so.

I liked your whiskers
And I liked the
Dimple in your chin
Your pale blue eyes

You painted pictures
'Cause the one
Who hurts
Can give so much
You gave me such

This is gonna beat all of them...

Never for Ever (1980)
Breathing

Outside
Gets inside
Through her skin.
I've been out before
But this time it's much safer in.

Last night in the sky,
Such a bright light.
My radar send me danger
But my instincts tell me to keep

Breathing,
('Out, in, out, in, out, in...')
Breathing,
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in.

We've lost our chance.
We're the first and the last, ooh,
After the blast.
Chips of Plutonium
Are twinkling in every lung.

I love my
Beloved, ooh,
All and everywhere,
Only the fools blew it.
You and me
Knew life itself is

Breathing,
('Out, in, out, in, out...')
Breathing,
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out...
('Out!')

'In point of fact it is possible to tell the
('Out!')
difference between a small nuclear explosion and
a large one by a very simple method. The calling
card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that
is far more dazzling than any light on earth--brighter
even than the sun itself--and it is by the duration
of this flash that we are able to determine the size
('What are we going to do without?')
of the weapon. After the flash a fireball can be
seen to rise, sucking up under it the debris, dust
and living things around the area of the explosion,
and as this ascends, it soon becomes recognisable
as the familiar 'mushroom cloud'. As a demonstration
of the flash duration test let's try and count the
number of seconds for the flash emitted by a very
small bomb; then a more substantial, medium-sized
bomb; and finally, one of our very powerful,
'high-yield' bombs

'What are we going to do without?'
Ooh please!
'What are we going to do without?'
Let me breathe!
'What are we going to do without?'
Ooh, Quick!
'We are all going to die without!'
Breathe in deep!
'What are we going to die without?'
Leave me something to breathe!
'We are all going to die without!'
Oh, leave me something to breathe!
'What are we going to do without?'
Oh, God, please leave us something to breathe!'
'We are all going to die without
Oh, life is--Breathing.
