all new "NP" thread -

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the doormouse said:
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"

this was a song inspired by the book "Go Ask Alice", right?
the music is quite strange, now that i remember...
 
Elio e le Storie Tese - La Follia della Donna

C'è un cartello di ricchioni
che ha deciso che
l'anno scorso andava il rosso
e quest'anno il blé


rahvin will no doubt remember fondly the weekend we spent driving around Lazio and listening to silly Elio songs all the time. :lol:
 
Bad Astronaut - Minus

I found about twelve versions of the lyrics online, and they are probably all wrong, but I will paste a random one.


Here is the world, they'll try to sell you
Here is the ache, habituate
They'll have your eyes and they will hang your view so high

Minus the world we'd find forgiveness
Minus the world she'd find her self
Minus the walls, she wouldn't hang her view
So low

White of their eyes
Shadow and plague
Those creatures we portray
Born into this
Unbearable mess
This bankruptcy her and I have left

Paradox, conundrum, irony
Minus need you are going cold
Minus belief we are growing old

Minus our fears she is outspoken
Minus our hands she is clean
Budding filth, we destroy purity once conceived

Sorrow and shame
Tangled and maimed
Indebted endlessly
Heir to the day
Of depravity
She'll have to make believe tranquility

Minus the world we leave
Minus the world we leave
Minus the world we leave


Wrong lyrics or not, I guess I didn't go "Oh gods in heavens" about lyrics written by the likes of Joey Cape since ten years. This song, however, fully deserves it.
 
Edge Of Sanity - Elegy

Crying. The anger and sorrow in your eyes is shining
thru your disguise, you can not hide all youer lies!
Falling. The abyss you enter is so deep, it doesn't
matter how much you will weep, you will never reach
the ground again. You're draining your emotions,
the poison is your God. Injection for depression. The
needle is your rod. Your heart will never feel. The
love that it will steal.

Chorus: NEXT TIME YOU SEE THE STARS ALIGHT,
LIKE DIAMONDS IN THE WINTER NIGHT. DO THINK
OF ME, REMEMBER ME. SO READS MY ELEGY. NEXT TIME I
SEE THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT LIKE WHITE EYES IN THE
DARKENED LIGHT, I'M FREE NO CHAINS ARE HOLDING ME.
BUT STILL I LIVE BY YOUR ELEGY.

Leaving. The world I leave will never know. But below
you will see my glow and the fire shall be eternal.
Weeping. The tears you cry, I know the taste. Can't
you see they're such a waste. You can never bring
me back again. You'll never know what happened but I
couldn't go on. It felt like I was running a race
that no man ever won. My soul will always love the
ones I am far above...

(Chorus)

Tears are falling... Tears are falling in the dark.
Your fears are calling. I've left my mark.
Burning. The flames that rise will be my end. So on for
now I will pretend that I am back on earth again.
Lonely. The shadows haunt me as I burn. Now I know
there is no return. My soul will slowly turn to dust.
I'm passing thru dimensions where noone's ever been.
I'm heading for the secrets that no man's ever seen.
What lies below will I ever know??(!?)

(Chorus)
