Subtle Signs

Recommended Posts

These are mine as of right now. Laugh if you want but this song will be huge on radio very soon:Kristy, are you doing OK?-The Offspring:

There’s a moment in time

And it’s stuck in my mind

Way back, when we were just kids

Cause your eyes told the tale

Of an act of betrayal

I knew that somebody did

Oh, waves of time

Seem to wash away

The scenes of our crimes

But for you this never ends

Can you stay strong?

Can you go on?

Kristy are you doing okay?

A rose that won’t bloom

Winter’s kept you

Don’t waste your whole life trying

To get back what was taken away

Though the marks on your dress

Had been neatly repressed

I knew that something was wrong

And I should have spoke out

And I’m so sorry now

I didn’t know

Cause we were so young

Oh, clouds of time

Seem to rain on

Innocence left behind

And it never goes away

Bets lyrics so far:

The Raconteurs - Carolina Drama

I'm not sure if there's a point to this story

But I'm going to tell it again

So many other people try to tell the tale

Not one of them knows the end

It was a junk-house in South Carolina

Held a boy the age of ten

Along with his older brother Billy

And a mother and her boyfriend

Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos

That were given to him when he was young

And a drunk temper that was easy to lose

And thank god he didn't own a gun

Well, Billy woke up in the back of his truck

Took a minute to open his eyes

He took a peep into the back of the house

And found himself a big surprise

He didn't see his brother but there was his mother

With her red-headed head in her hands

While the boyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old priest

Trying to choke the man

Ah Ah Ahhh...

Billy looked up from the window to the truck

Threw up, and had to struggle to stand

He saw that red-necked bastard with a hammer

Turn the priest into a shell of a man

The priest was putting up the fight of his life

But he was old and he was bound to lose

The boyfriend hit as hard as he could

And knocked the priest right down to his shoes

Well, now Billy knew but never actually met

The preacher lying there in the room

He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy"

Then he knew what he was gonna do

Billy got up enough courage, took it up

And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find

It was a cold, glass bottle of milk

That got delivered every morning at nine

Ah Ah Ahhh...

Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and

He turned around and put the lock on the door

He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye

His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then

He took a step toward the man on the ground

From his mouth trickled out a little audible sound

He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out!"

And Billy said, "Not till I know what this is all about"

"Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama"

But Billy knew just who was starting the drama

So Billy took dead aim at his face

And smashed the bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and

The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the

Boyfriend fell down dead for good

Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air

And Billy shouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?"

His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and

Pulled out an envelope filled with money

"Your daddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears

"He's been paying all the bills for years"

"Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees

and put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee"

Just then, his little brother came in

Holding the milk man's hat and a bottle of gin singing,

La la la la, la la la la, yeah

La la la la, la la la la, yeah

La la la la, la la la la, yeah

La la la, la la la...

La la la la, la la la la, yeah

La la la la, la la la la, yeah

La la la la, la la la la, yeah

La la la, la la la...

La la la la, la la la la, yeah

La la la la, la la la la, yeah

La la la la, la la la la, yeah

La la la la, la la la la, yeah

Well now you heard another side to the story

But you wanna know how it ends?

If you must know, the truth about the tale

Go and ask the milkman

In Flames- March To The Shore

I used to adore you

The lies made sense somehow

Gave myself away without a fight

But betrayal claims its price

At first I was scared

Not used to murder's mind

But there was something beautiful

So powerful, different, so divine

Pushing the faith

Build on our rage

Falling ideals

Broken seals

March to the shore

You are a killer

Is it something that's always been there

What's the distance in this cage?

Oh, I'm glad we met

I love to release the rage

But everything has its end

I've done my deed

The final bullet was always meant for me!

Pushing the faith

Build on our rage

Falling ideals

Broken seals

March to the shore

You are a killer

But everything has its end

I've done my deed

The final bullet was always meant for me!

Falling ideals

Broken seals

March to the shore

You are a killer

James- Hey Ma

Now the towers have fallen

So much dust in the air

It affected your visions

Couldn't see yourself clear

From the Fall came such choices

Even worse than the Fall

There's this chain of consequences

Within Without

I keep causing reaction

Never falls to plan

Black Swans at your picnic table

Knocking over the jam

Please don't preachj me forgiveness

You're hardwired for revenge

War is just about business

Within Without

Hey Ma,

The boys in bodybags coming home in pieces

Hey Ma,

The boys in bodybags coming home in pieces

Coming home in pieces

The dead live on within us

Keep your fingers crossed

We were choking on the smoke and the dust

And the lives that weere lost

Scratch the surface of liberals

There's a beast underneath

Others hide in their Jekylls

Within Without

Hey Ma,

The boys in bodybags coming home in pieces

Hey Ma,

The boys in bodybags coming home in pieces

I can feel the daylight

I can feel the day lighting on me, lighting on me

I can feel the daylight

I can feel the day lighting on me, lighting on me
