[emprworm]

Life Means So Much by Chris Rice

Every day is a bank account

And time is our currency

So no one's rich, nobody's poor

We get twenty-four hours each

So how are you gonna spend

Will you invest or squander

Try to get ahead

Or help someone who's under

Has anybody lived who knew the value of a life

And didn't He give His own

To show the worth of yours and mine?

Every day is a gift you've been given,

Make the most of the time every minute you're living

[Apollyon]

Let's bomb Iraq

Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iraq

Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iraq

Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iraq

[emprworm]

lol, you wrote that?

not bad.

My version:

Lets help the oppressed

Lets free the slaves

All who are poor and those with less

Once we remove Hussein

Those who suffer are not safe

From a barbaric dictator filled with hate

20 million people without a voice

We'll win their freedom and give them choice

[Apollyon]

well I think yours would beat mine in a poetry competition :)

[Terror]

Let's bomb Iraq

Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iraq

Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iraq

Yeah let's bomb Iraaaaq,

Ok... try to stay to 'real' songs... songs made up on the spot can easily degrade into spam.

Let's update emprworm's version,

Lets help the oppressed

All who are poor and those with less

Once we remove Hussein

Those who suffer are not safe

From a barbaric dictator filled with hate

20 million people without a voice

We'll win their freedom and give them choice

We'll give them McDonalds and

We'll get the OIL

All the OIL for US

and for our companies

We won't atack other dictators

because they don't have anything important

dictators without OIL are not important

... that's the US way.

[nampigai]

Sting is one of my absolute favorite artists

Russians

In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria

Conditioned to respond to all the threats

In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets

Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you

I don't subscribe to this point of view

It would be such an ignorant thing to do

If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy

There is no monopoly in common sense

On either side of the political fence

We share the same biology

Regardless of ideology

Believe me when I say to you

I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent

To put the words in the mouth of the President

There's no such thing as a winnable war

It's a lie that we don't believe anymore

Mr. Reagan says we will protect you

I don't subscribe to this point of view

Believe me when I say to you

I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology

Regardless of ideology

What might save us, me, and you

Is that the Russians love their children too

Fragile :

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one

Drying in the colour of the evening sun

Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away

But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant

To clinch a lifetime's argument

That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could

For all those born beneath an angry star

Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star, like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are, how fragile we are

They Dance Alone:

Why are there women here dancing on their own?

Why is there this sadness in their eyes?

Why are the soldiers here

Their faces fixed like stone?

I can't see what it is that they dispise

They're dancing with the missing

They're dancing with the dead

They dance with the invisible ones

Their anguish is unsaid

They're dancing with their fathers

They're dancing with their sons

They're dancing with their husbands

They dance alone They dance alone

It's the only form of protest they're allowed

I've seen their silent faces scream so loud

If they were to speak these words they'd go missing too

Another woman on a torture table what else can they do

They're dancing with the missing

They're dancing with the dead

They dance with the invisible ones

Their anguish is unsaid

They're dancing with their fathers

They're dancing with their sons

They're dancing with their husbands

They dance alone They dance alone

One day we'll dance on their graves

One day we'll sing our freedom

One day we'll laugh in our joy

And we'll dance

One day we'll dance on their graves

One day we'll sing our freedom

One day we'll laugh in our joy

And we'll dance

Ellas danzan con los desaparecidos

Ellas danzan con los muertos

Ellas danzan con amores invisibles

Ellas danzan con silenciosa angustia

Danzan con sus pardres

Danzan con sus hijos

Danzan con sus esposos

Ellas danzan solas

Danzan solas

Hey Mr. Pinochet

You've sown a bitter crop

It's foreign money that supports you

One day the money's going to stop

No wages for your torturers

No budget for your guns

Can you think of your own mother

Dancin' with her invisible son

They're dancing with the missing

They're dancing with the dead

They dance with the invisible ones

They're anguish is unsaid

They're dancing with their fathers

They're dancing with their sons

They're dancing with their husbands

They dance alone

They dance alone

[emprworm]

We'll give them McDonalds and

We'll get the OIL

All the OIL for US

and for our companies

We won't atack other dictators

because they don't have anything important

dictators without OIL are not important

... that's the US way

i think you were confusing France's and Russias version there.

We have already empirically established and have shown irrefutably several times that France and Russia have the greatest monetary and oil interest in Iraq.

[Edric O]

Stop it. Both of you. There are already enough topics about Iraq.

[TMA_1]

Okay here are two from duncan sheik:

This one is about how we search for so long and we try so hard to get material things. That it is a pointless journey that wont lead anywhere.

THAT SAYS IT ALL

Mr. Wilson took some pills...and I don't blame him

It's hard to be alive...Mr. Page, how he played

Mr. Drake stayed up late and made me cry

That says it all, doesn't it?

We always want what we never get

Well listen hear, my friend

I can't continue to pretend that it's alright

They've said it all haven't they?

But what I want, what I want to say

Is listen hear my friend

I can't continue to pretend that it's alright

No matter what we get

We never find our happiness

Ain't that a crime? Maybe that's why I've been told

Since I was six years old to compromise

But that ain't right...That ain't right

Here is one about growing up I believe. How life keeps going on.

The Winds That Blow

All the shadows blue, in the winter moon

The stars within the darkness

They remember you, and they sorrow too

With all the winds that blow

Every book you'd read, in the evening breeze

As stars shone in the darkness

Still it waits to see, will you turn its leaves

With all the winds that blow

See, the window too that once you looked through

Out on the stars, the darkness

It remembers you, in this empty room

With all the wind so cold

and that phantom moon is a window too

The stars look through the darkness

To some summer noon, where our ghosts still move

Among the winds that blow

You were my soul and my silence

You were my hope, my lightness

You were the sword at my side

Through all the winds that blow

Now, the children play, through these shorter days

Till stars show through the darkness

Now, the young men stray, and nobody waits

Among the winds that blow

All the shadows blue, in the winter moon

The stars within the darkness

They'll remember you, they will sorrow too

And all the winds will blow

All the winds will blow

All the winds will blow

All the winds will blow

[The_Sadukar]

Here are 2 of my favorites, both by Rhapsody

The first one is dawn of victory

DAWN OF VICTORY

Music: Luca Turilli and Alex Staropoli

Lyrics: Luca Turilli

Fire is raging on the battlefield

while Arwald is fighting the war of the kings

The army of Dargor, the thunder, the storm...

so people are calling the brave and his sword

No time left to save the wise throne!

Shades of a past not so far to forget...

the rise of the demons from their bloody Hell!

So come mighty warrior to light the lost hope

for Tharos the dragon and your cosmic soul...

Now handle your emerald sword!

For Ancelot

the ancient cross of war

for the holy town of gods

Gloria, gloria perpetua

in this dawn of victory

The ride of the dead and their practice of pain

is pounding in him as a terrific quake

You're closer and closer now follow their smell

with your holy armour the steel in your hand

Fly angel of bloody revenge!

For Ancelot

the ancient cross of war

for the holy town of gods

Gloria, gloria perpetua

in this dawn of victory

Tragic and furious the clash of the steel of the gods

and so magic the power, the sword in his valorous hands

Oceans of fire are blasting the throne of the demons

and from distant red skies the thunders are calling his name

the name of the master of pain!

For Ancelot

the ancient cross of war

for the holy town of gods

Gloria, gloria perpetua

in this dawn of victory

Gloria, gloria perpetua

in this dawn of victory

and the second is the pride of the tyrant

THE PRIDE OF THE TYRANT

Back into the fire I will have my sword

He won one fight but not the total war

Hurricanes will wipe out the dynasty of Kron

The chains of steel can't hold the holy storm

Sunshine is lighting the ruins of the ancient town

the seven towers are screaming their pain so loud

With my eagles I'll fly free

from snowy mountains to crystal seas

WE WILL FLY TO THE EMPIRE OF STEELGODS

TO DISCOVER THE SECRET OF STORMS

AND AGAINST THE BLACK PRIDE OF THE TYRANT

WE'LL USE IT TO DEFEND OUR THRONE

Dargor don't believe him... listen to my words!

You are the one who can still save your soul

Akron is the bastard... he massacred all

The evil hand that serves the will of Kron

You hate the tyrant as I and now don't deny

Give me the power to show you that I am right

With my eagles I'll fly free

from snowy mountains to crystal seas

WE WILL FLY TO THE EMPIRE OF STEELGODS

TO DISCOVER THE SECRET OF STORMS

AND AGAINST THE BLACK PRIDE OF THE TYRANT

WE'LL USE IT TO DEFEND OUR THRONE

Seven flames to not forget, to be sure I'll not regret... ever!

...to become the rage of god... Chaos bringer worse than Kron... beware!

good arn't they?

[Chani]

Look into these eyes of mine and take away my pain Fall into my arms, tonight, let the world around us fade The rain will fall, our hearts will break But still I will be here beside you, right beside you... When the world is against you I will protect you Darling we'll be an army of two When your life's going wrong Our love will be strong Darling we'll be, an army of two

When the burdens of the world are on me And people seem unkind I just need to be beside you You give me peace of mind And when I fail to be everything I tell you I will be I know in your eyes I'll find Forgiveness for me The rain will fall, our hearts will break

But still I will be here beside you, right beside you... Oh forgiveness and you give me completeness In everything you do and I know when I'm lost in this desperate world, you're my refuge I want to fall down at your feet Walk beside you in the street, be proud that you Are here with me, in front of everyone

Dum Dums ~ Army Of Two

(forever my favourite lyrics.. just because I would die if someone ever loved me enough to sing them to me. And because Josh Doyle wrote them for his wife. Which is beautiful.)

[lowzeewee]

He was always such a nice boy

The quiet one

With good intentions

He was down for his brother

Respectful to his mother

A good boy

But good don't get attention

One kid with a promise

The brightest kid in school

He's not a fool

Reading books about science and smart stuff

It's not enough, no

Cause smart don't make you cool, whoa

He's not invisible anymore

With his Father's 9 and a broken fuse

Since he walked through that classroom door

He's all over primetime news

Mary's got the same size hands

As Marilyn Monroe

She put her fingers in the imprints

And danced Chinese Theater Show

She coulda been a movie star

Never got the chance to go that far

Her life was stole

Now we'll never know

No no no no oh

They were crying to the camera

Said he never fitted in

He wasn't welcomed

He showed up the parties

We was hanging in

Some guys puttin' him down

Bullying him round round

Now I wish I woulda talked to him

Gave him the time of day

Not turn away

If I woulda been the one to maybe go this far

He might have stayed at home

Playing angry chords on his guitar

He's not invisible anymore

With his baggy pants and his legs in chains

Since he walked through that classroom door

Everybody knows his name

Mary's got the same size hands (Oh)

As Marilyn Monroe

She put her fingers in the imprints (Ooh)

And danced Chinese Theater Show

She coulda been a movie star (She coulda been a movie star, oh)

Never got the chance to go that far

Her life was stole

Now we'll never know

(Now we'll never know, oh)

Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (20 feet away)

He had a try out with the Sixers

Couldn't wait for Saturday (Saturday)

Now we're never gonna see him slam

Flying high as Kobe can

His life was stole (Stole)

Oh now we'll never know

Now we'll never never never know

Mmm now we'll never never never never know

Stole (Stole)

Oh whoa yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Mary's got the same size hands (Same size hands)

As Marilyn Monroe (Oh)

She put her fingers in the imprints

And danced Chinese Theater Show (She was gonna be a star)

She coulda been a movie star (Oh no)

Never got the chance to go that far (Never got the chance)

Her life was stole (Stole, stole)

Oh now we'll never know

(Now we'll never never know, no)

Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (He had game, oh)

He had a try out with the Sixers

Couldn't wait for Saturday

Now we're never gonna see him slam (Never see him)

Flying high as Kobe can

His life was stole (Stole, oh)

Oh now we'll never know

(Now we'll never never know)

Oh no no no

Yeah their lives were stole

[lowzeewee]

I'll make it through the rainy days

I'll be the one who stands here longer than the rest

When my landscape changes, re-arranges

I'll be stronger than I've ever been

No more stillness, more sunlight

Everything's gonna be all right

I know that there's gonna be a change

Better find your way out of your fear

If you wanna come with me

Then that's the way it's gotta be

I'm all alone

And finally I'm getting stronger

You'll come to see

Just what I can be

I'm getting stronger

Sometimes I feel so down and out

Like emotion that's been captured in a maze

I had my ups and downs

Trials and tribulations

I overcome it day by day

Feeling good and almost powerful

A new me, that's what I'm looking for

I know that there's gonna be a change

Better find your way out of your fear

If you wanna come with me

Then that's the way it's gotta be

I'm all alone

And finally I'm getting stronger

You'll come to see

Just what I can be

I'm getting stronger

I didn't know what I had to do

I just knew I was alone

People around me but they didn't care

So I searched into my soul

I'm not the type of girl that will let them see her cry

It's not my style

I get by

See I'm gonna do this for me

I'm all alone

And finally I'm getting stronger

You'll come to see

Just what I can be

I'm getting stronger

I'm all alone

And finally I'm getting stronger

You'll come to see

Just what I can be

I'm getting stronger

[lowzeewee]

Well you bit my lip and drew first blood

And wore my cold, cold heart

And your wrote your name right on my back

Boy your nails were sharp

Don't stop

Honey don't stop

Don't stop

Baby don't stop

Well I love your screams of passion

In the long hot summer night

But you pepper me with poison darts

And twisted in your knife

Don't stop

Honey don't stop

Don't stop

Baby don't stop

Well the only thing I ask of you

Is to hand me back some pride

Don't you dump me on some dusty street

And hang me out to dry

Don't stop

Honey don't stop

Baby don't stop

Baby don't stop

Honey

I'm losing you

I know your heart is miles away

There's a whisper there where once there was a storm

And all that's left is that image that I'll find a way

And some memories have tattered as they've torn

Don't stop

Don't stop

Baby don't stop

Baby don't stop

Honey baby don't stop

Honey honey

Baby don't stop

Baby don't stop

Come on honey honey don't stop

Well baby

Baby don't stop

Baby baby don't stop

My honey don't stop

Don't ya stop

Don't stop...

We have already empirically established and have shown irrefutably several times that France and Russia have the greatest monetary and oil interest in Iraq.

No, Gob provided proof that they had financial interests in Iraq, but I have yet to see a financial analyses as of wich country has the most interest in Iraq. Plus, you don't really think that the new Iraqi government will sell oil to those who oppose the US do you?

Sorry for going off topic.

i dont know. the new Iraqi government will be free to do whatever they want with their oil. the leaders of Iraq will be iraqis. I'm sure you don't really think some white american is going to run the Iraqi government, do you? Of course, all that money that Saddam owes France will be obsoleted, and all the French - Iraq agreements will be nullified under a new government.

[Edric O]

the new Iraqi government will be free to do whatever they want with their oil.

Hahahahaha!! Funniest thing I read all day! :)

The new Iraqi government will obey Bush's every whim... out of fear of going the same way as the previous one.

[Dante]

Wonderful! We agree on something! Now if we can just get those [hide] Take over the world [/hide] plans pooled together then nothing will stop us! Ordos shall rule!

Ahem, sorry...

*cackles*

Seriously though, you're absolutley right.
