Koko Taylor - Voodoo Woman lyrics

They call me the voodoo woman,
And I know the reason why,
They call me the voodoo woman,
And I know the reason why,
Lord if I raise my hand,
Don"t you know the sky begin to cry.

They call me the voodoo woman,
I look through water and spied by land
They call me the voodoo woman,
I look through water and spied by land
I tell all you men
If your woman got another man.

I got a rabbits foot in my pocket,
A toad frog in my shoes,
A crawfish on my shoulder,
Lookin dead at you,
I got dust from a rattlesnake,
I got a black spider bone,
If that don't do it baby,
You'd better leave it all alone.

They call me the voodoo woman,
And I know the reason why,
Lord if I raise my hand,
You know the sky begin to cry.

Guitar solo

I got a rabbit foot in my pocket,
A toad frog in my shoes,
A crawfish on my shoulder,
Lookin dead at you,
I got dust from a rattlesnake,
I got a black spider bone,
If that don't do it baby,
You'd better leave it all alone.

They call me the voodoo woman,
And I know the reason why,
They call me the voodoo woman, and I know the reason why,
Lord if I raise my name,
You know the sky begin to cry.
Lord if I raise my name,
You know the sky begin to cry.
Lord if I raise my name,
You know the sky begin to cry.
Lord if I raise my name,
You know the sky begin to cry.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

being as i am a writer, this one has always appealed to me:
"i am made of pages. paragraphs and inspiration. paper girl. burn the world. i pass the flame to you." -otep

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE

words and music by Pete Seeger
performed by Marlene Dietrich

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Taken husbands every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

..aaand... because I've got the DVD on in the background (turned to 11) while I work:-

Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
Poking your hay

Scratching in your henhouse
Sniffing at your feedbag
Slipping out your back door
Leaving my spray

Sex farm woman, I'm gonna mow you down
Sex farm woman, I'll rake and hoe you down
Sex farm woman, don't you see my silo rising high?

Working on a sex farm
Hosing down your barn door
Bothering you livestock
They know what I need

Working up a hot sweat
Crouching in your pea patch
Plowing through your beanfield
Planting my seed

Sex farm woman, I'll be your hired hand
Sex farm woman, I'll let my offer stand
Sex farm woman, don't you hear my tractor rumbling by?

Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
Poking your hay

Ur playin my Tune X i owe u one lollypop x

Pink Floyd's "On The Turning Away" and Genesis's "Land Of Confusion"

Just because I love anime & this song is from the anime Nana which I'm currently obsessed of....

Olivia Lufkin - A Little Pain (translated from Japanese to English)

Realize that...
I'm here waiting for you
Even if the future is different than what we have now
I'm here waiting for you
I keep on shouting
I'm sure all I have to do
Is pull in the thread that connects our hearts
So the person I was back then
Would open her eyes
No need to cry

I have soo many favorite song lyrics though.... But this one I really really like right now. ^^

"Got to get it louder/All men play on ten!/If you're not into Metal/You are not my friend!!"- ManOwaR

"...and I can learn to love my fellow man/But I'll be damned if I'll love yours."- SoM

"...I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt..." Bare Naked Ladies - One week.

I think it fist me perfectly.

~K

So take my hand. This pain must end. Into the sky. If you believe, we'll fly. - Kreator 'Leave this World Behind'

Being a huge Dylan fan, I love this verse from his song "Don't think twice, it's alright"...

So long Honey Babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well.
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You coulda done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's alright.

Dad wrote it in a letter to my mum after she fucked off for another man and it fit perfectly.

Also, most lyrics (the more serious ones, at least) by System Of A Down cos I'm a huge fan of them too...

oh, and pretty much all the lyrics from NIN's Year Zero

Taiyo no Ao

My heart was like it burst into flame, feeling the ring of the bell,
I wanted to stay watching the form which never woke,

When I turn the street corner, all of a sudden I remember,
The shades of midsummer, the movie we often watched together on those days,

The midsummer sun, the season which coincides with my memories,
Taken away by the wind, never to reach you again,

I looked one last time at you crying, just watching your last moments like second nature,
Unable to do anything,

You were wearing a mask I didn’t recognize,
Are you wearing death?

It seems as if an eternity has come and gone, are you happy with him?
I remember running into each other in Teramachi, for some reason my heart aches…
The midsummer sun, the season that coincides with my memories,
Taken away by the wind, never to reach you,

The cold sun, changes to a new colour,
I can’t hide my scars, colored in a new season,

Hurting, hurting each other, people hide their wounds but,
I’ll try to get over mine, so they become a pretty flower for you,
The important things are…my memories…

What's fun about this song is that it's really slow versus some of my other favourites like Saku and Obscure

Another favourite lyric probably has to be:

Kill them with the Crazy Hammer. Destroy their thought. Get Hysterical.
from The Fatal Believer. All of course are by Dir en Grey +^_^+

Slaves to the Subliminal

Eyes transfixed at flashing visuals
Looking without seeing
Subject for subliminal attacks
Subconscious registrations

Efficient manipulation methods
The embedded distorters
One step in the mass hypnosis
On a monumental scale

Vile embrace of the one who beholds
Robbed of thoughts and of feelings

Draining dry the very mind
All we know is what they show
Never seen - the chains that binds
Lies enslave you!
Registrations that will burn our spirits hollow
Making sure the blind stays blind

We are slaves to the subliminal

No choice to accept or reject
Heading straight for the source
Perceived below normal awareness
Suck in the embedded additions

Eyes transfixed at flashing visually
Looking without seeing

Subject for subliminal attacks
Subconscious registrations

Vile embrace of the one who beholds
Robbed of thoughts and of feelings

Draining dry the very mind
All we know is what they show
Never seen - the chains that binds
Lies enslave you
Registrations that will burn our spirits hollow
Making sure the blind stays blind

Drugged docile by the embeds
They enter below the threshold
Intricate manipulation technique
Promotes robotic behavior
Consume according to fabricated needs
Command the subconscious
Follow all the shallow standards
Programmed instinct response

Draining dry the very mind
All we know is what they show
Never seen - the chains that binds

Registrations that will burn our spirits hollow
Making sure the blind stays blind

lies Enslave you

Reel Big Fish...I love this song for some reason...

She called me late last night, to say she loved me so
It didn't matter anymore,
I say she never cared
And that she never will,
I'd do it all again
I guess I'll have to wait until then

And if i get drunk well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
And if you're drinkin' well, you know
That you're my friend and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer

She called me late last night, to say she loved me so
but I guess you changed her mind.
Well I should have known, it wouldn't be all right,
but I can't live without her
So I won't even try...

And if I get drunk well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
And if you're drinkin' well, you know
That you're my friend and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer

Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say
Maybe next time I'll remember what to do
She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell
Said she'd do it all again, she'd promise not to tell!

And if I get drunk well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
she said,
it's okay boy cause you know
we'll be go friends and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer
I think I'll have myself a beer
