    it's usually a rainy night in soho by the pogues but since rudebhoy has already done the pogues i'll have a few good men - dropkick murphys

    i think it would be a belter at celtic park as well. maybe not so much the verses just because they are too quick but i think the chorus could work

    Singing against English repression in English. Hahahaha, always a good laugh
    I can't believe I forgot "Guantanamera"

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamera

    Guantanamera Guajira GuantanameraX2
    Yo soy un hombre sincero
    De donde crecen las palmas.X2
    Y antes de morir yo quiero
    cantar mis versos del alma.
    Guantanamera Guajira GuantanameraX2
    Cultivo una rosa blanca
    En junio como en enero.X2
    Para el amigo sincero
    Que me da su mano franca.
    Guantanamera Guajira Guantanamera X2
    Mi verso es de un verde claro
    Y de un carmn encendido X2
    Mi verso es un ciervo herido
    Que busca en el monte amparo.
    Con los pobres de la tierra
    quiero yo mi suerte echar
    El arroyo de la sierra
    me complace más que el mar
    Guantanamera Guajira Guantanamera X2



    English translation
    Girl from Guantánamo, oh that peasant girl from GuantánamoX2
    I am an honest man
    From where the palm tree growsX2
    And before dying I want
    To share the verses of my soul.
    girl from Guantánamo, oh that peasant girl from GuantánamoX2
    I cultivate a white rose
    In July as in JanuaryX2
    For the sincere friend
    Who gives me his honest hand.
    girl from Guantánamo, oh that peasant girl from GuantánamoX2
    My verse is light green
    And it is flaming crimsonX2
    My verse is a wounded deer
    Who seeks refuge on the mountain (or in the woods).
    With the poor people of the earth
    I want to cast my lot
    The brook of the mountains
    Gives me more pleasure than the sea
    girl from Guantánamo, oh that peasant girl from Guantánamo

    Let the People Sing
    I am shipwrecked in the night
    I watched a girl with eyes like thin ice
    Say, “Dive into these pools of blue”
    But I tripped over you
    I curse these cool whispering lights
    I curse the things that keep me from you
    Again my patience makes the climb
    Will my tears buy me time?

    In your light I crumble, forgot what I’d been told
    I never thought that I could feel so old
    You’re at the centre of everything I do
    Wherever I go, I’ll walk the last mile with you

    I heard you say “Dissolve in my arms
    and run to fall in these meadows”
    But you’re just a memory
    From a mocking old dream
    But I cling to my dreams
    I’m drawn to things that kill me
    It’s safer to pretend
    But I’ll deceive myself again

    I your light I crumble, forgot what I’d been told
    I never thought that I could feel so old
    You’re at the centre of everything I do
    Wherever I go, I’ll walk the last mile with you

    I’ve seen the whole world turn to gold
    It’s just like a fairground ride
    Sometimes it turns out
    That the tyrants are the pearls
    You’ll always know, someone loves you in this world

    I want you to burn like I burn
    I want you to burn like I burn

    I wake up in the harsh light
    Spilled my heart in a cold night
    I’ve got too much time to kill
    I wrote you’re name upon my wall

    I your light I crumble, forgot what I’d been told
    I never thought that I could feel so old
    You’re at the center of everything I do
    Wherever I go, I’ll walk the last mile with you

    My favorite parts are...

    "Nothing really matters,
    Anyone can see,
    Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me,
    Any way the wind blows...." from "Bohemian Rhapsody" of Queen,


    "eveything means nothing to me" by Elliott Smith,



    "I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
    I wanna sleep here but I've been denied
    I wanna stay here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt
    I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
    I wanna sleep here but I've been denied
    Lets watch the clock until the morning sun comes out " from "Tie up my hands" of Starsailor


    "Every you Every me"- Placebo....


    "You and me we are destined you'll agree To spend the rest of our lives with each other The rest of our days like two lovers For ever ,
    For ever My bijou,"
    -"Bijou" of Queen.(I think this song is so brilliant.)


    the lyrics of "Nevermore" of Queen,


    and I also love every word from the song "Love of My life" of Queen.( It's so romantic and I think Freddie Mercury was really great person to have been able to write a song like that..)

    What more can I say.:50:


    And now the end is near
    And so I face the final curtain.
    My friends, I'll say it clear;
    I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

    I've lived a life that's full -
    I've travelled each and every highway.
    And more, much more than this,
    I did it my way.

    Regrets? I've had a few,
    But then again, too few to mention.
    I did what I had to do
    And saw it through without exemption.

    I planned each charted course -
    Each careful step along the byway,
    And more, much more than this,
    I did it my way.

    Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
    When I bit off more than I could chew,
    But through it all, when there was doubt,
    I ate it up and spit it out.
    I faced it all and I stood tall
    And did it my way.

    I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
    I've had my fill - my share of losing.
    But now, as tears subside,
    I find it all so amusing.

    To think I did all that,
    And may I say, not in a shy way -
    Oh no. Oh no, not me.
    I did it my way.

    For what is a man? What has he got?
    If not himself - Then he has naught.
    To say the things he truly feels
    And not the words of one who kneels.
    The record shows I took the blows
    And did it my way.

    Yes, it was my way.

    "I had to face all my demons and embrace all of my fears
    While you were out partying and chillin' and sippin' on some beers
    I would sacrifice adolescent years
    blood, sweat and tears to find out what music really is
    & now I'm feelin', I'm feelin' like the moment has arrived
    With Bobby is no longer livin' and Logic has revived from his ashes
    music, money, liquor, I'm * past this,
    Lyricism that's driven from a master you *"

    Get real, open your eyes up
    You better turn on, tune in and wise up
    This is not a figment or a fantasy
    As a matter of fact it is reality
    Feel the poison floating in the air
    Take a look now, do you despair?
    How could it happen, how could it be true?
    Steal from the many and give it to the few
    They feed you crack, and smack and then they pass it round
    Screw's you up and that's how they keep you down
    Then they have you in the palm of their hand
    Then they have you and you'll never understand

    Altered state

    Dead dreams, rotting in the streets
    While the country's raped by the robbers and the cheats
    They'll lead you by the hand into the promised land
    To the next world, that's the Third World
    Shutting down the hospitals and factories
    Filling dole queues and the cemeteries
    You better get down, grovel in the dirt
    On your face now, does it hurt?
    How long will it take for you to see the fact?
    That they always happy to attack?
    Choose a time, select the place
    Do we have to wave it in your face

    Altered state

    Bad scene, situation critical
    Unclean, they're gonna make it criminal
    Liberties, they want to take them all
    On your hands and knees, they want to see you crawl
    Like a child, they took your toys
    But you were silent, didn't make a noise
    You were good in the hope you would receive
    Reward as he said, and you believed
    Rough justice, tough luck
    But it seems like no one gives a f*ck
    Say a prayer, before the hour is late
    And it seems we're living in an altered state

    This song says it all....what is wrong with the so called music 'scenes'


    H2o - what happened?

    When it began, for those who don't know
    it didn't matter how you looked or what you wore to a show
    dress codes, * NO! we didn't care
    about the brand of your jeans and all that * in your hair

    But now the biggest part is all about the image and not the art
    Fashion before passion!
    And at nights, it makes me mad that I should have to ask:
    What happened to the passion?
    What -happened to- the reason for screaming?
    What happened the music and the message that I love?
    What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
    And why does everybody look the same?
    What happened the music and the message that I love?

    And I know, that people change
    and we go through different stages in life
    and I'm not here to criticize
    but the reason I scream, is a feeling inside

    But now the biggest part is all about the image and not the art
    Fashion before passion!
    And at nights, it makes me mad that I should have to ask:
    What happened to the passion?
    What -happened to- the reason for screaming?
    What happened the music and the message that I love?
    What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
    And why does everybody look the same?
    What happened the music and the message that I love?

    Lost (1,2,3,4) lifetime ago it seems
    you gave up on your wildest dreams
    but i refuse to let mine go
    I took an oath, you can find me here
    with an open heart and ears
    refusing to surrender
    I can't believe they don't remember
    what it feels like to be young


    What happened to the passion?
    What -happened to- the reason for screaming?
    What happened the music and the message that I love?
    What happened to the hard work?
    And why does everybody look the same?
    What happened the music and the message that I love

    I could probably post the vast majority of Creed or Metallica songs but I've picked this one. It was between this and With Arms Wide Open which another great song by Creed

    Creed - My Sacrifice

    Hello my friend, we meet again
    It's been awhile, where should we begin?
    Feels like forever
    Within my heart are memories
    Of perfect love that you gave to me
    Oh, I remember

    When you are with me, I'm free
    I'm careless, I believe
    Above all the others we'll fly
    This brings tears to my eyes
    My sacrifice

    We've seen our share of ups and downs
    Oh how quickly life can turn around
    In an instant
    It feels so good to reunite
    Within yourself and within your mind
    Let's find peace there

    When you are with me, I'm free
    I'm careless, I believe
    Above all the others we'll fly
    This brings tears to my eyes
    My sacrifice

    I just want to say hello again
    I just want to say hello again

    When you are with me I'm free
    I'm careless, I believe
    Above all the others we'll fly
    This brings tears to my eyes
    Cause when you are with me I am free
    I'm careless, I believe
    Above all the others we'll fly
    This brings tears to my eyes
    My sacrifice, My sacrifice

    I just want to say hello again
    I just want to say hello again

    My sacrifice.

    Not going to quote a full song, and there are probably so many i could choose from, but off the top of my head one of my favourite lines in a song are:

    "I'm too young to feel this old"

    Kings of Leon - Cold Desert

    Anything by the Wolfetones
    It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) Bob Dylan


    Darkness at the break of noon
    Shadows even the silver spoon
    The handmade blade, the child's balloon
    Eclipses both the sun and moon
    To understand you know too soon there is no sense in trying

    Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
    Suicide remarks are torn
    From the fool's gold mouthpiece, the hollow horn
    Plays wasted words, proves to warn
    That he not busy being born is busy dying

    Temptation's page flies out the door
    You follow, find yourself at war
    Watch waterfalls of pity roar
    You feel to moan but unlike before
    You discover that you'd just be one more person crying

    So don't fear if you hear
    A foreign sound to your ear
    It's alright, Ma
    I'm only sighing

    As some warn victory, some downfall
    Private reasons great or small
    Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
    To make all that should be killed to crawl
    While others say don't hate nothing at all, except hatred

    Disillusioned words like bullets bark
    As human gods aim for their mark
    Make everything from toy guns that spark
    To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
    It's easy to see without looking too far that not much is really sacred

    While preachers preach of evil fates
    Teachers teach that knowledge waits
    Can lead to hundred dollar plates
    Goodness hides behind its gates
    But even the president of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked

    And though the rules of the road have been lodged
    It's only people's games that you got to dodge
    And it's alright, Ma
    I can make it

    Advertising signs that con
    You into thinking you're the one
    That can do what's never been done
    That can win what's never been won
    Meantime, life outside goes on all around you

    You lose yourself, you reappear
    You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
    Alone you stand with nobody near
    When a trembling distant voice unclear
    Startles your sleeping ears to hear that somebody thinks they really found you

    A question in your nerves is lit
    Yet you know there is no answer fit
    To satisfy, insure you not to quit
    To keep it in your mind and not forget
    That it is not he or she or them or it that you belong to

    But though the masters make the rules
    For the wise men and the fools
    I got nothing, Ma
    To live up to

    Old lady judges watch people in pairs
    Limited in *, they dare
    To push fake morals, insult and stare
    While money doesn't talk, it swears
    Obscenity, who really cares, propaganda, all is phony

    While them that defend what they cannot see
    With a killer's pride, security
    It blows their minds most bitterly
    For them that think death's honesty
    Won't fall upon them naturally, life sometimes must get lonely

    My eyes collide head-on with stuffed
    Graveyards, false goals, I scuff
    At pettiness which plays so rough
    Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
    Kick my legs to crash it off
    Say, "Okay, I've had enough, what else can you show me?"

    And if my thought-dreams could be seen
    They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
    But it's alright, Ma
    It's life, and life only

    Debris by the Faces. Written by Ronnie Lane for his Dad.

    I left you on the debris
    at the Sunday morning market
    you were sorting through the odds and ends
    you was looking for a bargain

    I heard your footsteps at the front door
    and that old familiar love song
    'cause you knew you'd find me waiting there
    at the top of the stairs

    I went there and back
    just to see how far it was
    and you, you tried to tell me
    but I had to learn for myself

    there's more trouble at the depot
    with the general workers union
    and you said they'll never change a thing
    well, they won't fight and they're not working

    oh you was my hero
    how you are my good friend
    I've been there and back
    now I know how far it is

    but I left you on the Debris
    now we both know you got no money
    and I wonder what you would have done
    without me hanging around

    Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

    Well they might wear classic Reeboks
    Or knackered Converse
    Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
    But all of that's what the point is not
    The point's that there ain't no romance around there
    And there's the truth that they can't see
    They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
    And if you could only see them, then you would agree
    Agree that there ain't no romance around there

    You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
    We'll tell 'em if you like
    We'll tell 'em all tonight
    They'll never listen
    Cause their minds are made up
    And course it's all okay to carry on that way

    And over there there's broken bones
    There's only music so that there's new ringtones
    And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
    To see it's a little different around here

    Don't get me wrong though there's boys in bands
    And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
    And just cause he's had a couple of cans
    He thinks it's alright to act like a *

    Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know
    We'll tell em if you like
    We'll tell em all tonight
    They'll never listen
    Cause their minds are made up
    And course it's all okay to carry on that way

    But I said
    No! Oh no!
    Well you won't get me to go!
    Not anywhere, not anywhere
    No I won't go

    Well over there there's friends of mine
    What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
    And yeah they might overstep the line
    But you just cannot get angry in the same way
    No not in the same way
    Not in the same way
    Oh no

    Creeping Death is a belter of a tune. One of Metallica's finest. :50:
