Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Oh my god, I have the remedy for love
I struck the glass, it broke the bones inside my fist, but I'm ok
I cannot change you, I cannot change you
You never change, you never change
I never would expect to be this in the end
Something so profound, something you won't expect
Take this scripture like a picture, wear it around your neck
The sky, it opens up
Don't get swallowed by the flames
What's mine is yours and yours is mine, so take me away
You hear the sounds, they carry out
There's no sympathy for the dead
It swells and I was never the same
There's no sympathy for the dead
We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain
We see the stones falling from the sky, on fire
The blinding light beaming from your eyes, our desire
Life has died, and yet we're still alive, we'll tell them all
Our sea of damned, crashing like a tidal wave, wave
I cannot change you, you'll never change
You'll never change
I'm never would expect to be this in the end
I can't breathe
Wake up from this nightmare that I'm in
Dive into a holy river, and wash away my sins
As I reach, sanctify the surface of the water now
I will breathe, and burn out my eyes
You hear the sounds, they carry out
There's no sympathy for the dead
It swells and I was never the same
There's no sympathy for the dead
We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain
We see the stones falling from the sky, on fire
The blinding light beaming from your eyes, our desire
Life has died, and yet we're still alive, we'll tell them all
A sea of damned, crashing like a tidal wave, wave
So take the medicines, to quench the pain we had
And walk until the end, until you've reached the sand
A hundred thousand wings, soaring through the sky
At intense speeds we can't catch with our eyes
You hear the sounds of a third carry out
Just wait (Just wait)
You hesitate
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist (you hesitate)
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist (you hesitate)
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist (you hesitate)
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist
You hesitate
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
You hesitate
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
You hesitate
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
You hesitate
I struck the glass, it broke the bones inside my fist, but I'm ok
I cannot change you, I cannot change you
You never change, you never change
I never would expect to be this in the end
Something so profound, something you won't expect
Take this scripture like a picture, wear it around your neck
The sky, it opens up
Don't get swallowed by the flames
What's mine is yours and yours is mine, so take me away
You hear the sounds, they carry out
There's no sympathy for the dead
It swells and I was never the same
There's no sympathy for the dead
We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain

The blinding light beaming from your eyes, our desire
Life has died, and yet we're still alive, we'll tell them all
Our sea of damned, crashing like a tidal wave, wave
I cannot change you, you'll never change
You'll never change
I'm never would expect to be this in the end

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
wrong song..
the lyrics go to the song there's no sympathy for the dead............
For some reason all you people think that if spout out some false bullsh*t that people will beleive you, well the first posts were correct these lyrics go with There
s no sympathy for the dead, not I can swing a mic like nobodys business.... dont beleive me? go look up the demo on youtube and read these lyrics while ur listening to it, youll see im right.isn't this there's no sympathy for the dead? i think i should know, that's my favorite song by them...
If it was your favourate song you would know this is the original version
I would like to thank the person who posted these lyrics. Also, I would like everyone to ignore my previous post on here; this is, in fact, the original version. I looked it up today, and I absolutely love it. I've gotten a couple ETF demos today as well, and it feels like I'm falling in love with them all over again. Seriously, if you don't have the demos, go look them up on Youtube and download them from one of those youtube to mp3 sites.
you guys that think this is there's no smpathy r dumb..
no offence but its got different lyrics this is the original demo for that song
this ones raw its y i lyk it
No Sympathy for the Dead and I Can Swing a Mic Like Nobody's Business are the same song. At least, that's what I've been told.
Correct lyrics (incomplete):
Oh my God, I have the remedy for love I struck the glass, it broke the bones inside my fist, and I'm okay
I cannot change you (I cannot change you) You'll never change (you'll never change) I never would expect to break this in the end
Something so profound Something you won't expect Take this scripture like a picture And wear it around your neck
The sky it opens up Don't get swallowed by the flame What's mine is yours and yours is mine So take me away
You hear the sounds, they're carried out It swells and I was never the same There's no sympathy for the dead We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain We see the stones falling from the sky (on fire) The blinding light that's beaming from your eyes (our desire) Life has died, yet we're still alive, and down below A sea of damned crashing like a tidal wave (wave) Every minute of what you get helps this pain
I can't breathe Wake up from this nightmare that I'm in Dive in to a holy river, and wash away my sins As I reach (never change) like serpents of the water I will bleed and burn out my eyes
You hear the sounds, they're carried out It swells and I was never the same There's no sympathy for the dead We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain We see the stones falling from the sky (on fire) The blinding light that's beaming from your eyes (our desire) Life has died, yet we're still alive, and down below A sea of damned crashing like a tidal wave (wave) Every minute of what you get helps this pain
Torn leaves and greed from our father You think it's hot now (hot now) Well just wait A hundred thousand wings soaring through the sky At instant speeds we can't catch with our eyes
You hear the sounds of a third carried out Just wait (just wait) You hesitate
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss I struck the glass, it shatters bones in my fist
"Helps this pain" is most likely wrong, and "torn leaves and greed from our father" could also be wrong. I couldn't hear the last part due to the screaming. If anyone could build on top of this, that would be great.
those two before me are retarded
yeah they are <br />
no need to be rude about it :/
Blessthefate: yeah they are
