    Full lyrics can be found here


    Future kings of Spain
    I'm wasting life, I'm sure of that.
    The glimpse that I see just fell black,
    Your tears make pretty streams and there
    Is a man over there, says he wants you,
    But this boy needs you now.

    And by 'you', i mean tickets.

    All the flowers that you planted, mama
    In the back yard
    All died when you went away
    I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
    But I'm willing to give it another try
    'Cause nothing compares ...
    Nothing compares to you

    It's three o'clock in the morning
    And I'm on the streets again
    I disobeyed another warning
    I should have been in by ten

    Now I won't get out until Sunday
    I'll have to say I stayed with friends
    But it's a habit worth forming
    If it means to justify the end

    Last night Jackie Chan came around
    I played pool with him and we hung out

    Called in for a while as well

    Give me an opinion
    'Cos I don't have one
    I'll agree with you if you're right
    I always know where you're coming from
    But I've never been there
    I have to steal from you when you write

    Your beautiful madness
    My beautiful grief
    Your dreams are my torture
    Your dreams my relief

    This one from The Frames always gets me emotional (in fact I'm welling up just copying and pasting it).

    I know it from the Set List album, and the performance sends shivers up my spine.
    So what happens when the heart just stops
    Stops caring for anyone
    The hollow in your chest dries up
    And you stop believing

    So what happens when the heart gives up
    But the body goes on living
    The blood crawls to a slow and stops
    And flows away

    Well we got no-one to meet
    No love we would beseech
    We only have ourselves to blame for everything
    The was no answer in the dust
    And I'm missing you so much
    And now you're sleeping
    And I'm leaving

    Stiff Little Fingers - Wait and See


    When we started we thought we were great
    Though nobody else agreed
    Just you and I wasting our time
    Playing and singing out of key
    And they said we played too loud
    Cos we didn't play for their crowd
    But we just told them 'Wait and see'

    What do you say
    When she's in your arms and you're going round in those circles...
    When both of you know that you've risen to the occasion...
    When her friend comes along and you know that she's been rescued...
    When you're eternal flame has been drowned by her...

    In the garden d'Snake was a charmin'
    And Eve said let's give it a try
    Now lead us not into temptation
    But no matter how hard I try
    When in the garden and
    Snake is a charmin'
    And Eve says let's give it a
    Now lead us not into temptation
    but, Eve is the apple of my eye.

    Was gonna go for an Ash song but Kung Fu's best line was already taken and a line from Shining Light would be too obivious seeing as it won/nominated? for an Ivor Novello back in the day.

    Really like these lines from Bell X'rs, i mean i really like it,

    but i'd like tickets just as much... so make this happen?

    Fight Like Apes - Tie Me Up With Jackets
    And I can't compete with all you talk about,
    You're so informed
    And yet you talk just like a lout you say
    Yo la Tengo like you're selling perfume
    Like a brand new scent for modern man,
    Invented by cartoons.

    They're a really good Irish band. A lot of energy. Lyrics are quite strange but but who cares? It's indie music at it's finest.

    I met the Republic Of Loose lead singer when they played our rag week in Dundalk and I may have insulted him by saying, "You know what, I didn't think you were as good as The Corona's on Monday". D'oh.

    Please please please give me a chance to redeem myself. :)

    Sometimes I wake up in the morning
    The gingerlady by my bed
    Covered in a cloak of silence
    I hear you talking in my head

    I'm not singing for the future
    I'm not dreaming of the past
    I'm not talking of the fist time
    I never think about the last

    Now the song is nearly over
    We may never find out what it means
    But there's still a light I hold before me
    You're the measure of my dreams

    Its hard to even pick a particular quote from it, the words of the whole song are just the best he's ever written

    Standing on a black Ulster hill
    I never fear the chill
    'Cos everybody's holding
    Everybody's holding

    I wouldn't swap the pain
    For never knowing you
    I wouldn't swap the pain
    It was worth it for the view

    Seems to be about the pain of going through a break-up, experienced this myself recently and often thought would it have been better if we'd never met so I wouldn't be going through this, It wouldn't :)

    You wanna get boned
    You wanna get stoned
    You wanna get a room like no one else
    You wanna be rich
    You wanna be kitsch
    You wanna be the bastard of yourself
    You wanna get burned
    You wanna get turned
    You wanna get ****ed inside out
    You wanna be ruled
    You wanna be fooled
    You wanna be a woman like a man like a woman like a, like a man

    some really angry passionate lyrics!

    It's alright to say things can only get better,
    You haven't lost your brand new sweater.
    I know I had it on when I had my tea,
    And I'm sure I had it on in the lavatory.

    Dancing in the disco, go, go, go.
    Dancing in the disco, oh no, oh no.
    Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumper,
    Wait a minute, where's me jumper ?

    POIGNANT!

    The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin


    Oh my perfect cousin
    What I like to do he doesn't
    He's his family's pride and joy
    His mothers little golden boy

    His mother bought him a synthesizer
    Got the Human League into advise her
    Now he's making lots of noise
    Playing along with the art school boys
    Girls try to attract his attention
    But what a shame it's in vain total rejection
    He will never be left on the shelf
    Cos Kevin he's in love with himself

    Oh my perfect cousin

    Aslan - This Time

    Drawing faces in a padded room,
    With nothing but echoes of screams.
    Am I Insane, Am I untamed?
    Is this the answer, or is it a dream?
    Feels like Nothing,
    And it looks like you're nothing at all,
    And we all go down this time.

    Has the world forgotten about me?
    Am I left here to suffer my pain?
    Call out to mother, coz there ain't no other
    To stop you from crying again.
    This time, Oh this time.

    A mole, digging in a hole
    Digging up my soul
    Now going down, excavation
    I and I in the sky
    You make me feel like I can fly
    So high, elevation

    We seem to go our separate ways
    Our bodies tune into a different rhyme
    The only thought that is a saving grace
    Reunion, with the passage of time

    You´re an old slut on junk

    Happy christmas your arse I pray god it´s our last.

    One and only warning... anymore of this and it's a banning. If you don't want to win tickets then don't post in this thread. Simple as. This post is not just directed at whoever i'm quoting, it is for one and all.
