    So you never knew love
    Until you crossed the line of grace
    And you never felt wanted
    'Til you had someone slap your face
    So you never felt alive
    Until you'd almost wasted away

    You had to win
    You couldn't just pass
    The smartest ass
    At the top of the class
    Your flying colors
    Your family tree
    And all your lessons in history

    Please…please…please…
    Get up off your knees
    Please…please…please…
    Please…

    So you never knew
    How low you'd stoop to make that call
    And you never knew
    What was on the ground 'til they made you crawl
    So you never knew
    That the heaven you keep, you stole

    Your Catholic blues
    Your convent shoes
    Your stick-on tattoos
    Now they're making the news
    Your holy war
    Your northern star
    Your sermon on the mount
    From the boot of your car

    Please…please…please…
    Get up off your knees
    Please…please…please…
    Leave me out of this please

    So love is hard
    And love is tough
    But love is not
    What you're thinking of

    September
    Streets capsizing
    Spilling over
    Down the drain
    Shards of glass
    Splinters like rain
    But you could only feel
    Your own pain

    October
    Talk getting nowhere
    November
    December
    Remember
    Are we just starting again

    Please…please…please…
    Get up off your knees, yeah
    Please…please…please…
    Please…

    So love is big
    Is bigger than us
    But love is not
    What you're thinking of

    It's what lovers deal
    It's what lovers steal
    You know I've found it hard to receive

    'Cause you my love
    I could never believe

    Bono (U2) – PLEASE

    Hab ich erst begriffen nach meinem USA-Aufhalt. Seitdem:

    Bruce Springsteen – The river

    I come from down in the valley
    Where mister, when you're young
    They bring you up to do like your daddy done
    Me and Mary we met in high school
    When she was just seventeen
    We'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields are green
    We'd go down to the river
    And into the river we'd dive
    Oh down to the river we'd ride

    Then I got Mary pregnant
    And, man, that was all she wrote
    And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
    We went down to the courthouse
    And the judge put it all to rest
    No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
    No flowers, no wedding dress
    That night we went down to the river
    And into the river we'd dive
    Oh down to the river we'd ride

    I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
    But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
    Now all them things that seemed so important
    Well, mister they vanished right into the air
    Now I act like I don't remember
    Mary acts like she don't care
    But I remember us riding in my brother's car
    Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
    At night on them banks I'd lie awake
    And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
    Now those memories come back to haunt me
    They haunt me like a curse
    Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
    Or is it something worse
    That sends me
    Down to the river
    Though I know the river is dry
    That sends me down to the river tonight
    Down to the river
    My baby and I
    Oh down to the river we ride

    Ganz klar einer seiner besten Songs, leider ist das dazugehörige Album imho zu überfrachtet.

    Bad Religion „Do what you Want“

    Nur ein kleiner Auszug:

    Say What you must
    Do all you can
    break all the fucking rules
    And Go to hell with superman
    and Die like a Champion

    Ein wirklich guter Songschreiber kann auch mit wenigen Worten berühren. Der Titel ist für mich einer der besten aus Reisers Solozeit. :)

    johnny cash – boy named sue

    Well, my daddy left home when I was three,
    And he didn't leave much to ma and me,
    Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
    Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid,
    But the meanest thing that he ever did,
    Was before he left, he went and named me Sue.

    Well, he musta thought that is quite a joke,
    And it got a lot of laughs from a lots of folks.
    Seems I had to fight my whole life through.
    Some gal would giggle and I'd get red,
    And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
    I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.

    Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
    My fists got hard and my wits got keen,
    Roamed from town to town to hide my shame.
    But I made me a vow to the moon and stars,
    I'd search the honky-tonks and bars,
    And kill that man that gimme that awful name.

    Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July,
    And I'd just hit town and my throat was dry,
    I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
    At an old saloon on a street of mud,
    There at a table, dealing stud,
    Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me „Sue.“

    Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad,
    From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
    And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
    He was big and bent and gray and old,
    And I looked at him and my blood ran cold,
    And I said: „My name is Sue!
    „How do you do!
    „Now you gonna die!!“

    Yeah, that's what I told him!

    Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes,
    And he went down, but to my surprise,
    He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
    But I busted a chair right across his teeth,
    And we crashed through the wall and into the street,
    Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

    I tell you, I've fought tougher men,
    But I really can't remember when.
    He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
    I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
    An' he went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
    He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

    And he said: „Son, this world is rough,
    „And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough,
    „And I knew I wouldn't be there to help you along.
    „So I give ya that name and I said goodbye,
    „I knew you'd have to get tough or die,
    „And it's the name that helped to make you strong.“

    He said: „Now you just fought one hell of a fight,
    „And I know you hate me, and you got the right,
    „To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
    „But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
    „For the gravel in your guts and the spit in ya eye,
    „'Cos I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you Sue.“

    Yeah, what could I do,? What could I do?

    I got all choked up and I threw down my gun,
    And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
    And I came away with a different point of view.
    And I think about him, now and then,
    Every time I try and every time I win.
    And if I ever have a son,
    I think I'm gonna name him
    Bill or George!
    Anything but Sue!

    I still hate that name!

    Neben dem unvermeidlichen (nicht negativ gemeint) „Ring of Fire“ der erste Song den ich von Cash bewußt wahrnahm. Noch dazu wirklich witzig. ;)

    (Hängt bei mir in der Wohnung, als Warnung)

    the Magnetic Fields – Absolutely Cuckoo

    Don't fall in love with me yet
    We only recently met
    True I'm in love with you
    but you might decide I'm a nut
    Give me a week or two
    to go absolutely cuckoo
    then, when you see your error
    then, you can flee in terror
    like everybody else does
    I only tell you this cause
    I'm easy to get rid of
    but not when you fall in love
    Know now that I'm one to make
    and if you make a mistake
    my heart will certainly brake
    I'll have to jump in a lake
    and all my friends will blame you
    There's no telling what they'll do
    It's only fair to tell you
    I'm absolutely cuckoo

    Look out ahead
    I see danger come
    I wanna pistol
    I wanna gun
    I'm scared baby
    I wanna run
    This world's crazy
    Give me the gun

    Baby, baby
    Ain't it true
    I'm immortal
    When I 'm with you
    But I want a pistol
    In my hand
    I wanna go to
    A different land

    I met a man
    He told me straight
    „You gotta leave
    It's getting late“
    Too many cops
    Too many guns
    All trying to do something
    No-one else has one

    Baby, baby
    Ain't it true
    I'm immortal
    When I 'm with you
    But I want a pistol
    In my hand
    I wanna go to
    A different land

    Sometimes it rains so hard
    And I feel the hurt
    In my heart
    Feels like the end of the world
    I see the children
    Sharp as knives
    I see the children
    Dead and alives
    Beautiful people
    Beautiful girls
    I just feel like it's the end of the world

    I walk on concrete
    I walk on sand
    But I can't find
    A safe place to stand
    I'm scared baby
    I wanna run
    This world's crazy
    Gimme the gun

    Baby, baby
    Ain't it true
    I'm immortal
    When I 'm with you
    But I want a pistol
    In my hand
    I wanna go to
    A different land

    Sorry leute aber momentan „leide“ ich unter akuter Pearl-Jam-Sucht.Ich weiss ja nicht ob hier schon ein PJ-Text gepostet wurde.Wenn nicht wird es jetzt aber mal höchste Zeit. B)

    Pearl Jam Garden

    she don´t wander in…don´t wander in here,she…
    she don´t wander in here…don´t wander in here
    the direction of the eye,so misleading
    the defection of the soul,nauseously quick
    i don´t question,our existence
    i just questions,our modern needs
    she don´t wander in…don´t wander in here,she…
    she don´t wander in here…
    i will walk..with my hands bound
    i will walk with my face blood
    i will walk with my shadow flag
    into your garden,garden of stone
    after all is done,and we´re still alone
    i won´t be taken,yet i´ll go …with my hands bound
    i will walk …with my face blood
    i will walk with my shadow flag
    into your garden,garden of stone
    i don´t show…i don´t share…
    i don´t need what you have to give
    i will walk…with my hands bound
    i will walk …with my face blood
    i will walk … with my shadow flag
    into your garden,garden of …
    i will walk… with my hands bound
    i will walk into your garden,garden of stone….
    i don´t know…i don´t care
    i don´t need…the need to live…

    So und damit ich endlich auch meinen 1000 Post halbwegs sinnvoll getippt bekomme hier noch ein Pearl Jam Text.Aber damit soll es in diesem Thread auch erstmal mit PJ gewesen sein.Versprochen.

    Pearl Jam Nothing as it seems

    don´t feel like home,he´s a little out…
    and all these words elope,it´s nothing like your poem
    putting in,inputting in,don´t feel like methadone
    a scratching voice all alone,there´s nothing like your bariton
    it´s nothing as it seems,the little that he needs,it´s home
    the little that he sees,is nothing he concedes,it´s home
    one uninvited chromosome,a blanket like the ozone
    it´s nothing as it seems,all that he needs,it´s home
    the little that he frees,is nothing he believes
    saving up a sunny day,something maybe two tone
    anything of his own,a chip off the cornerstone
    who´s kidding,rainy day
    a one way ticket headstone
    occupations overthrown,a whisper through a megaphone
    its nothing as it seems,the little that he needs,it´s home
    the little that he sees,it´s nothing he concedes,it´s home
    and all that he frees,a little bittersweet,it´s home
    it´s nothing as it seems ,the little that you see ,it´s home…
