496: Dream Theater - Octavarium



[I. SOMEONE LIKE HIM]

I never wanted to
become someone like
him so secure
Content to live each day
just like the last
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I'd
Never be someone like him

So many years have passed
Since I proclaimed
My independence
My mission
My aim
And my vision
So secure
Content to live each day
like it's my last
It's wonderful to know
That I could be
Something more than
what I dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I fear that I'm
Missing out this time

As far as I could tell
There's nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything?
Then all I swore
That I would never be was now
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him

[II. MEDICATE (Awakening)]

A Doctor sitting next to me
He asks me how I feel
Not sure I understand
his questioning
He says I've been away a while
But thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep

For 30 years
Where I have been
Eyes open
But not getting through to me

Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away

Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening?

A higher dosage he prescribes
But there's no guarantee
I fell it starting
to take over me
I tell him not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot
A brief awakening

I feel the relapse
Can't break free
Eyes open
But not gettin through to me

[III. FULL CIRCLE]

[Spoken:]
Isn't this where we came in?

Sailing on the seven
seize the day tripper
diem's ready
jack the ripper owens
wilson phillips and my
supper's ready
lucy in the sky
with diamond dave's
not here i come to
save the
day for nightmare
cinema show me the way
to get back home
again

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound

Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've
come full circle

flying off the handle
with careful with
that axe eugene gene
the dance machine
messiah light my fire gabba gabba
hey hey my
generation's home
again

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound

Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've
come full circle

[IV. INTERVALS]

Root
Our deadly sins feel
his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles
from our path

Second
Asking questions
Search for clues
The answer's been right
in front of you

Third
Try to break through
Long to connect
Fall on deaf ears and
failed muted breath

Fourth
Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
Carries love through
each darkest fire

Fifth
Tortured Insanity
A smothering bell
Try to escape but to no avail

Sixth
The calls of admirers
Who claim they adore
Drain all your
lifeblood while
begging for more

Seventh
Innocent victims of
merciless crimes
Fall prey to some madmen's
impulsive designs

Eighth
Step after step
We try controlling our fate
When we finally start
living it has become
too late

Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium

[V. RAZOR'S EDGE]

We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge

A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began

495: Elbow - Bones of You



So I'm there,
Charging around with a juganaut brow
Over draft speeches and deadlines to make
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack
Telephone burning, purposeful gait
When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch
Of a song that i know, and the world
Moves in slow - mo
Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day
And its you, and its me, and we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago and every thousand miles away...

You have turned
A man of my caliber stood in the street
Like a sleepwalking teenager i know
That I dealt with this years ago
I took a hammer to every momento
But image on image like beads on a rosary
Move through my head as the music takes hold
And the second it hits
I can work till i break
But i love the bones of you that i will never escape
And its you, and its me, and we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago every thousand miles away...
And i can't move my arm, for the fear that you will wake
And I'm five years ago every thousand miles away...

And I'm five years ago every thousand miles away...
And I'm five years ago every thousand miles away...
And its you, and its me, and we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago every thousand miles away...

494: Queen - Teo Torriatte (Let us cling together)



When I'm gone
No need to wonder if I ever think of you
The same moon shines
The same wind blows
For both of us, and time is but a paper moon...
Be not gone

Though I'm gone
It's just as though I hold the flower that touches you
A new life grows
The blossom knows
There's no one else could warm my heart as much as you...
Be not gone

Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned

Teo torriatte konomama iko
Aisuruhito yo
Shizukana yoi ni
Hikario tomoshi
Itoshiki oshieo idaki

Hear my song
Still think of me the way you've come to think of me
The nights grow long
But dreams live on
Just close your pretty eyes and you can be with me...
Dream on

Teo torriatte konomama iko
Aisuruhito yo
Shizukana yoi ni
Hikario tomoshi
Itoshiki oshieo idaki

When I'm gone
They'll say we're all fools and we don't understand
Oh be strong
Don't turn your heart
We're all
You're all
For all
For always

Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned

493: John Farnham - You're The Voice



We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

(Chorus)
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo

This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

Rep Chorus

ooooh We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo (4x)

492 Macaco - Tio Pedrito



Linda morena que a cada paso rompes
la piedra con tu contoneo amasas pavos
y los calientas solita bonita pero siempre
tan ligera nadie nadie te puede tocar
me da igual si eres cocinera puta chunga
o rumbera dame cositas para mi camita
me duele me duele no me la puedo
controlar risa de pillo a cazar
Arramba t�o Pedrito que si tu no le das caf�
la xati se te va al huerto con otro
y tu vas a tener que darle al vaiv�n
Arramba t�o Pedrito,
ay que si tu no le das bien
la churri se te pone tierna con otro
y tu vas a tener que beberte el caf�.
Diablo!
Si tu y yo no tenemos nada en com�n ya lo encontraremos
pero mas tarde mi ni�a entre las sabanas de mi agujero,
yo te buscar� por las esquinas de mi barrio,
pero siempre al loro no me vea t�o Pedro.
Entre bailes y muchos chupitos la cosa se fue calentando
y el chaval le dijo a la se�ora
yo tengo lo que tu andas buscando.
Vente para mi catre y conocer�s el ed�n
y a la una vuelve aqu� y nadie sabe a donde fue.
Pero en la puerta apareci� Goril�n el cabr�n
Secuaz de t�o Pedro, su amo y se�or.
Hostias y tiros eran su �nica palabra
calle abierta y a correr
que como dice el dicho demasiados huevos
te pueden dar tortilla.
Uno, dos, tres,
Arramba...

Omdat er nog geen enkele track van het beste hiphopalbum ooit instaat, bij deze:

490 Nas - Life's a Bitch

488 Bob Marley- Three Little Birds



"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry!
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, oh no!
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Toch nog een nummer van de band die al vaak is genoemd.

486 The Beatles - Julia



Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you,
Julia

Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia

Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering,
In the sun

Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia

When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia

Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Hum hum hum...calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia

485 Siouxsie and the Banshees - Halloween

Deze kan niet ontbreken vandaag.

quote:

The night is still
And the frost it bites my face
I wear my silence like a mask
And murmur like a ghost
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet

The carefree days
Are distant now
I wear my memories like a shroud
I try to speak but words collapse
Echoing
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet

I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween... Halloween

A sweet reminder
In the ice-blue nursery
Of a childish murder
Of hidden lustre
And she cries
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet

I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween... Halloween

483: Riverside - Reality dream




_{zo, en nu ga ik snel naar hun concert toe...}

482 Mucky Pup - Liittle Pigs

Moet ook hoger staan dan de green jellyshit.





"In the beginning there was wolf, and then there was pig.
Wolf was the natural enemy of pig. (and this was good)
And so our story begins."

Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!
Not by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin!
Then I'll huff, and I'll puff,
and I'll blow your house in!

I am the big bad wolf and there will be no badder,
All the pigs is doing, is makin me madder.
Some A1 steak sauce, and some Saucy Susan,
will make them know the reason. They're losing their lives.

Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!
Not by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin!
Then I'll huff, and I'll puff,
and I'll blow your house in!

Huffin' and a puffin, puffin and a huffin,
keeps me thinkin about Stove Top stuffing.
I could wait for mumfths, and I could wait for years.
I could see myself chewing on those little pigs ears.

481 Porcupine Tree - How Is Your Life Today?

Deze band hoort goed vertegenwoordig te zijn in de lijst, alles van hun is immers goed.


The letters pile up in the hallway
Junk mail and bills from the catalogues
And the neighbours have guessed 'cos I've cancelled the milk
And they don't hear your voice through the walls anymore

How is your life today ?

I was kissed on the cheek by a cold mouth
While the taxi was waiting like a getaway car
Each second seems like a lifetime
And the cat it's been staring at me all this time

How is your life today ?

How Is Your Life Today

Je bent 481, als promotie.

Tijd voor een gouwe ouwe... goed voor een romantische zaterdagavond

478 The Electric Prunes - I had too much to dream last night

The Magic Numbers werden gepresenteerd als "lelijkste band ter wereld". In de jaren 60 maakte deze band aanspraak op die titel.



Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room
I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume
Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be
Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me
Then came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night

The room was empty as I staggered from my bed
I could not bear the image racing through my head
You were so real that I could feel your eagerness
And when you raised your lips for me to kiss
Came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone

[repeat chorus 2X]

Oh, too much to dream
Oh, too much to dream
Too much to dream last night
Oh, too much to dream
[repeat to fade]

477: Jethro Tull - Minstrel in the gallery



The minstrel in the gallery
looked down upon the smiling faces.
He met the gazes observed the spaces
between the old men's cackle.
He brewed a song of love and hatred,
oblique suggestions and he waited.
He polarized the pumpkin-eaters,
static-humming panel-beaters,
freshly day-glow'd factory cheaters
(salaried and collar-scrubbing).
He titillated men-of-action
belly warming, hands still rubbing
on the parts they never mention.
He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating,
one-line jokers, T.V. documentary makers
(overfed and undertakers).
Sunday paper backgammon players
family-scarred and women-haters.
Then he called the band down to the stage
and he looked at all the friends he'd made.

The minstrel in the gallery
looked down on the rabbit-run.
And threw away his looking-glass -
saw his face in everyone.

476 Simon and Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy in New York



Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know your part'll go fine.
Fly down to Mexico.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am,
The only living boy in New York.

I get the news I need on the weather report.
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am
The only living boy in New York

Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know where.

Here I am..........

Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know where.

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know you've been eager to fly now.
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine now
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in New York,
The only living boy in New York.


Here I am...................

474 Pulp - This Is Hardcore

Het titelnummer van het beste en donkerste album uit het oeuvre van Pulp



You are hardcore, you make me hard.
You name the drama and I'll play the part.
It seems I saw you in some teenage wet dream.
I like your get-up if you know what I mean.
I want it bad.
I want it now.
Oh can't you see I'm ready now.
I've seen all the pictures, I've studied them forever.
I wanna make a movie so let's star in it together.
Don't make a move 'til I say "Action."
Oh here comes the Hardcore life.
Put your money where your mouth is tonight.
Leave your make-up on and I'll leave on the light.
Come over here babe and talk in the mic.
Oh yeah I hear you now.
It's gonna be one hell of a night.
You can't be a spectator. Oh no.
You got to take these dreams and make them whole
Oh this is Hardcore -
there is no way back for you.
Oh this is Hardcore -
this is me on top of you
and I can't believe it took me this long.
That it took me this long.
This is the eye of the storm.
It's what men in stained raincoats pay for
but in here it is pure. Yeah.
This is the end of the line.
I've seen the storyline played out so many times before.
Oh that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
And then it's over.
Oh, what a hell of a show
but what I want to know:
what exactly do you do for an encore?
Cos this is Hardcore.
