Lyrics that remind you of Second Life

LOL! That's one I havn't thought of!

You know, this isn't a regular occurance for me, but the first time I went to YadNi's junkyard... that theme came up in my head. I imagined myself driving a beat-up old pickup truck and bein' a junkyard dog. Also moaning: "Oh... my prim-heart... I'm comin' Lord!"

I just heard another song that reminds me of SL....

Die Young by Black Sabbath (Ronnie James Dio is a friggin Genius!)

Yell with the wind, though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Chain the sun, and it tears away and it breaks you as you run
You run, you run!
Behind the smile, there's danger and a promise to be told:
You'll never get old - ha!
Life's fantasy - to be locked away and still to think you're free you're free, you're free!

So live for today
Tomorrow never comes

Die young, die young
Can't you see the writing on the wall?
Die young, gonna die young
Someone stopped the fall

Yell with the wind, though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Chain the sun, and it tears away and it breaks you as you run
You run, you run!

So live for today
Tomorrow never comes

Die young, young!
Die young, die young!
Die young, die young, young!
Die young, die young, die young, die young, die young!!

Hmm...

Most online communities remind me of 'We Hate it When Our Friends Become Successful' by Morrissey.

We hate it when our friends become successful
We hate it when our friends become successful
Oh, look at those clothes
Now look at that face, it's so old
And such a video!
Well, it's really laughable
Ha, ha, ha...

We hate it when our friends become successful
And if they're Northern, that makes it even worse
And if we can destroy them
You bet your life we will
Destroy them
If we can hurt them
Well, we may as well...
It's really laughable
Ha, ha, ha...

You see, it should've been me
It could've been me
Everybody knows
Everybody says so
They say :

"Ah, you have loads of songs
So many songs
More songs than they'd stand
Verse
Chorus
Middle eight
Break, fade
Just listen ..."
La, la-la, la-la

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

*i couldnt resist. i had to add part of this song to my sig. pardon the repetition below *

Never Tear Us Apart by INXS

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

(side note- I am absolutely incapable of hearing this song and not shedding a tear when i hear that last verse. i am so cheesy. )

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover, and my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time. It's detachable. This comes in handy a lot of
the time. I can leave it home when I think it's going to get me in trouble,
or I can rent it out when I don't need it. But now and then I go to a
party, get drunk, and the next morning I can't for the life of me remember
what I did with it. First I looked around my apartment and I couldn't find
it, so I called up the place where the party was, they hadn't seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet 'cause for some reason, I leave
it there sometimes, but not this time. So I told them if it pops up to let
me know. I called a few people who were at the party, but they were no help
either. I was starting to get desperate. I really don't like being without
my penis for too long. It makes me feel like less of a man and I really
hate to have to sit down every time I take a leak. After a few hours of
searching the house and calling everyone I could think of, I was starting
to get very depressed, so I went to the Kiev and at breakfast. Then as I
walked down Second Avenue toward St. Mark's Place,where all those people
sell used books and other junk on the street, I saw my penis lying on a
blanket next to a broken toaster oven. Some guy was selling it. I had to
buy it off him. He wanted 22 bucks, but I talked him down to 17. I took it
home, washed it off, and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.
People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached, but I don't
know. Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass, I like having a
detachable penis.

*waits for people to throw stuff*

/me knows that Detatchable Penis is the official unofficial SL theme song! LOL

Stone the crows if you've done it again,
If I've told you once, told you a thousand times.
Sometimes I am so convinced
That we're casting pearl amongst the swine.

Don't ever let me hear you say
This is the life we folks must lead.
We shun the limelight, shun the glare,
And the circus built on a bigot's creed.
Don't ever let me hear you say
This is the life we folks must lead.
We shun the limelight, shun the glare,
And the circus built on a bigot's creed.

Heaven is a place I've heard
But we haven't been there yet, I fear.
We may have opened pearly gates
But sometimes hell stills steals in here.

Don't ever let me hear you say
This is the life we folks must lead.
Do you think silver turns our locks?
What gold do you think paves our streets?

You say we're in a different world now,
Where money and love go hand in hand.
But can't you see we share this town,
So why should we fight on our native land?

Don't ever let me hear you say
This is the life we folks must lead.
We shun the limelight, shun the glare,
And the circus built on a bigot's creed.
Don't ever let me hear you say
This is the life we folks must lead.
Do you think silver turns our locks?
What gold do you think paves our streets?

Can't you see we share this town,
So why on earth should we tear it down?

Beautiful World

Bones are sinking like stones
All that we fall for
Homes places we've grown
All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world (yeah we do yeah we do)
We live in a beautiful world

Bones sinking like stones
All that we've fall for
homes places we've grown
All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world (yeah we do yeah we do)
We live in a beautiful world

Oh all that I know is nothing to run from
Cause yeah everybody here got's somebody to lean on

While I've been going retro, back to my teens - I found these two gems that make me think of SL -- both by Devo.

PITY YOU
pity you you're telling me you've got a problem
a nervous sort of contraction
a mindless kind of reaction
you never get no satisfaction.

Here's to you i know
You really got a problem
a nasty kind of reflection
a dangerous sort of destruction
that makes it difficult ,makes it hard to reach,
takes it all away from what you had in mind yeah yeah yeah.

Pity you, you're telling me you've got a problem
A nervous kind of distraction
a nasty sort of contraction
but there's some big fat point that you seem to be missing
and it's driving you to destruction
but it doesn't seem to stop you in the least
or halt this obsession got you going on back
week after week
day after day
hour after hour from
where you came for more of the same

and...

Enough Said.

None of you would help me when i baked by bread,
Now all of you would help me eat it.
Ii can see that you are very well fed,
This indicates that you don't need it.

Enough said.

Stop and let me tell you what tomorrow holds for you,
Stop and let me tell you 'bout a plan i have for you.

Take all the leaders from around the world
Put them together in a great big ring.
Televise it as the lowest show on earth,
And let them fight like hell to see who's king.

Gather up the pieces when the fight is done,
Then you'll find out living really can be fun.

You wanted a world you could figure out,
but something happened while you were asleep.

You wanted a good life you could brag about,
too bad they took the parts you wanted to keep..

Enough said.

You woke the morning up
Running off the darkest night
The longest fight I've seen
Here goes a chance I know
Cashing in on all my chips
Let all my ships come fly

These days, a little bit longer than the last
And all of your ways, a little bit stronger than the past
And your light, found my bottle in the night
Gave me second life, kept me in this fight

CHORUS:
And I won't back down
I won't turn around and around
And I won't back down
Doesn't matter what comes crashing down
I'm still gonna stand on solid ground

You found me once and for all
I laid it down in the sinking ground
The hopeless undertow
Singing out the gentle sound
Rattling through my smoking screens
My broken dreams last night

These days, a little bit longer than the last
And all of your ways, a little bit stronger than the past
And your light, found my bottle in the night
Kept me in this fight and gave me second life

CHORUS

Hallelujah ripped through my veins
I heard the hammer drop
My blood in the rain

Hallelujah came like a train
When all is lost
All is left to gain

John Lennon
Title: Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Learning To Fly

Pink Floyd

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Friction lock - set.
Mixture - rich
Propellers - fully forward
Flaps - set - 10 degrees
Engine gauges and suction - check

Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both
... lights - on
Pitot Heater - on
Strobes - on
(to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
(tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4
(to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
(tower): 3-8-Echo cleared takeoff, the wind's normal at 10 knots.
(to tower): 3-8-Echo
Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Oh what fun! Ok, just the relevant lyrics....

Tied up, tied down, up against the wall
Be my rubbermaid, baby, and we can do it all


done... done... on to the next one.

Heart
These Dreams

(just bits and snippets but the whole song fits)

'Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand'

'I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall'

'Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth'

"Willkommen in Eden" by a German punk band called Das Untergangskommando. It's a little more cynical than most of the other songs people have posted, but I'm probably a little more cynical than most of the other people posting in this thread. Also, this is my English translation of the lyrics, since I suspect most of you don't speak German. I chose to preserve meaning over meter, so it probably doesn't sound quite as... poetic as it does in German. You can find the original German lyrics here.
