Song Lyrics

iggy pop and the stooges

[Who can figure out all the lyrics to this song... and do they even really apply? Well, the mood sure does.]

gimme danger little stranger
and i'll feel you at peace (alt: and i'll fill you with peace)
gimme danger little stranger
and I'll feel (heal?) your disease (alt: and i'll kill your police )

there's nothing in my dreams
just some ugly memories
kiss me like the ocean breeze

now if you will be my lover
i will shiver inside (?)
but if you can be my master
i will do anything

cause i wanna be touched

[o.k. never mind all the explicit masochism in the live version. well, not literally, anyway. geez...]

cause there's nothing left alive
just a pair of glassy eyes
raise my feelings one more time

come on little stranger
die a little later
swear you gonna feel my hand

can you feel it?
you got to feel it

I Melt With You

modern english

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world rushing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always... mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and It's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

(We should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(We should see why) Trapped in a state of imaginary grace
(We should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
(We should see why) Never comprehending the race had long gone by

(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

I'll stop the world and melt with you...

Shelter

lone justice

Well alright, you gave it all up for
a dream
Fate proved unkind
To lock the door and leave no key
You're unsure,
Baby, I'm scared too
When the world crushes you...

Chorus:

Let me be your shelter, shelter from the
storm outside
Let me be your shelter, shelter from the
endless night
Disillusion has an edge so sharp
It tears at your soul and leaves a stain
upon your heart
I need you to wash mine clean
You've felt it, too,
And you need me

Chorus

Bridge:

Your struggle with darkness has left
you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes.

Chorus

Talk to Me
(I Can Hear You Now)

iam siam

I can see you now
In your darkest hour
When you tumble down
And you feel the power
I can see you now
When you're crying out
When you're on the ground
When you full of doubt

Come on and talk to me
Come on and talk to me
Come on and talk to me

I can hear you now
Hear the shadow call
And the trumpet sound
And you spirit fall
I can hear you now
As the drummer roll
And the storm winds pound
On you mortal soul

Come on and talk to me
Come on and talk to me
Come on and talk to me

Woooooo

E'xallah
Já bilu
Tamo konta pompa mama'me
Keha kana lo kana loka

I can see you now
In your darkest hour
When you tumble down
And you feel the power
I can see you now
When you're crying out
When you're on the ground
When you full of doubt

Come on and talk to me
Come on and talk to me
Come on and talk to me

Thunder on the mountain
Fire in the lake
And you lookin' up to heaven/(Her)
Cause you/(She) took all you can take

I can hear you knock knock knocking
But you gotta learn to fight
Like a child wake up screamin'
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night

I can feel you now
I can feel the pain
Like an undertow
Like a hurricane
I can feel you now
On your dying day
In your final hour
When you pass away

Come on and talk to me
Come on and talk to me
Come on and talk to me

Marone Moan

human sexual response

Like a wheel within a wheel
Sparks, I feel
A grating friction between us
Metal needs metal
And wood needs wood
It's an addiction between us

Like two hands of a clock
That cross, don't stop
The time is wasted between us
Minute by minute
With less and less in it
Till there is nothing between us

And though the void will swallow me I must
Plunge into the empty well that waters us
Will I fall or just dissolve, a bit of dust
Am I asking for too much?

Like two rolls of the dice
That yield the same total twice
There is no difference between us
With the throw always loaded
And the corners eroded
No contest between us
Like a hall full of mirrors
Reflects us embarrasssed
It's just ourselves inbetween us
Or like a crack in the mirror

One never repairs
So much bad luck flows between us
And though the mirror follows me, I must
Try to smash the wall of glass
That splinters us
Is it blood that stains my hand, or is it just
That I'm keeping you in touch?

Am I asking for too much?
Did the mirror call my bluff?
