Help me, Mary, please
I've lost my home to thieves
They bully the stereo and drink
They leave suspicious stains in the sink
They make rude remarks about me
They wonder just how wild I would be
As they egg me on and keep me mad
They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that...
I lock my door at night
I keep my mouth shut tight
I practice all my moves
I memorize their stupid rules
I make myself their friend
I'll show them just how far I can bend
As they egg me on and keep me mad
They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that...
I'm asking you, Mary, please
Temper my hatred with peace
Weave my disgust into fame
And watch how fast they run to the flame

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
Would you do?
But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?
Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled it on through
Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?
Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues
Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey...

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's
In books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
From sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On, AHHHHHHH
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away...

I met a man locked away, for things he hadn't done.
Innocence on ball and chain. He'll never feel the sun Again on his face, or roses in his hands.
but when he smiled at me, I could understand.
If you're free you'll never see the walls.
If your head is clear you'll never free fall.
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong.
If your head is high you'll never fear at all.
There was a daughter of a man, who took his life too young;
She swore she'd never do the same, Then did just what he'd done.
And a boy who's gone insane, heard Voices in his head;
No one knows what they say, now his mother's dead.
If you're free you'll never see the walls.
If your head is clear you'll never free fall.
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong.
If your head is high you'll never fear at all.
There was a man who had a face, that looked a lot like me.
I saw him in the mirror and, I fought him in the street;
Then when he turned away, I shot him in the head.
Then I came to realize, I had killed myself.
If you're free you'll never see the walls.
If your head is clear you'll never free fall.
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong.

Oooh I like this.
Derf, Im pretty sure the one on the last page was Evanescence.
My turn! My turn! Since my ipod is always on shuffle, I was reminded of this song the other day. Old favorite. Guess away
Octavious - 1

There are things I never get to say
The fear in me always in the way
A broken heart never mended
A hurt I can never forget
A little pearl
Locked in a shell
Can not explain
Each breath I'm taking
Can not find the means to an end
To move create one liberated moment
Beauty hides in the deep
Beauty hides in the deep
But it's so hard to find
Being wrapped up inside
The fear in me always in the way
A broken heart never mended
A hurt I can never forget
A little pearl
Locked in a shell
Can not explain
Each breath I'm taking
Can not find the means to an end
To move create one liberated moment
Beauty hides in the deep
Beauty hides in the deep
But it's so hard to find
Being wrapped up inside

Well folks, there's a ton of posted unsolved lyrics --let's get to work!
And I can generate a few
although nobody seems to guess at them.
Part of the fun in this is the wide age spectrum of the forum. Young guys posting new genres, middle aged guys posting classic rock, grunge, alternative instead of the crap they grew up with.
And Octavious, you were correct about Evanescence.
Rube -- please consider rejoining the quest.....

Okay, derf. I can't figure out any of the obscure stuff you're listening to! LOL I DID recognize Dream On, of course, but that's main stream rock. Try this one. It's just the first two verses, not the entire song.
I hear you're driving someone else's car now
She said you came and took your stuff away
All the poetry, and the trunk you kept your life in
I knew that it would come to that someday
Like a sad hallucination
When I opened up my eyes
The train had passed the station
And you were trapped inside
Yet I never wonder where you went
I only wonder why, I wonder why
I hear you're driving someone else's car now

Yet I never wonder where you went
I only wonder why, I wonder why
