I don't know if I qualify to post lyrics seeing as I haven't solved any puzzles yet. Oh well. These lyrics are some of my favourite from one of my favourite albums.
The title won't be hard to guess but the artist?

Over there,
The row of trees
Is merging in with the evening,
And then blackness consumes the forest,
Within there lies a glade,
And a flattened impression of the love that we made

When I was young I used to watch TV,
Now people loved to tell me it's all fantasy
But they made it seem so real,
They made it seem so possible,
Don't ask me to forget them because I won't.

I'll visit the glade and I'll watch TV,
Is sustaining past illusion just fantasy?
When it makes me so much braver,
I can turn to the world and say,
I'm strong enough to face the oncoming day.

Sitting along at night in my dark bedroom
I can explain myself in a song to you
When a weird burning shape from a headlight outside
Slid from the ceiling to behind the piano to hide,
Then extinguished itself on the carpet and died.

The stars mingle inseperably,
With the lights of houses that I've seen
Shadows of the leaves on the walls shiver,
In a vivid twisted frame of grey
From a streetlight outside, its time nearly expired,
To make way for the oncoming day.

Noone,
Noone,
Noone can take your memory away from me.

Some days,
I say,
Will I give in to the oncoming day?
The oncoming day.
The oncoming day.

I think of words to tell you
I find nothing fine enough to say.
Nothing worth anything,
Nothing worth nothing,
Nothing left in this lump of grey,
That even vaguely says I love you,
In a way that pleases me.
So I'll let the oncoming day say it for me.

And in the days that followed,
In the back of my mind,
The black skies sunk on distant countries.

Noone,
Noone,
Noone can take your memory away from me.

No way,
No way,
No way will i give in to the oncoming day.
The oncoming day.

Sweet song!

Here i go again.

"And now dope hooks make punks take another look
My thoughts ya hear and ya begin to fear
That ya card will get pulled if ya interfere
With the thoughts from a militant militant mind
Hardline, hardline after hardline"


Burn burn yes you're gonna burn!!!!

Huge song off Rage Against The Machine's 1993 self titled debut.
An absolute classic.

The song: Bombtrack.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.

I know I've got this one, so I'll add a song:

When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.

Has this song in my head for the past day. It was the great man's birthday yesterday.
The song contains one of the most chilling lines you'll ever hear.

Bombtrack was right by the way. One of the phattest guitar riffs u will ever hear.

This song is too easy for me. Ill let someone else get the titile, but ill add my fave part of the song.

"I bet there's rich folk eatin' in a fancy dining car.
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a movin', and that's what tortures me"

It's a brilliant song isn't it.
I love it. I wish I'd paid more attention to the guy before he passed.

Sweet! Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash

Heres an easy one

"when we see
nothing's wrong with you and me
with you time will tell
it might even bring a wedding bell
if you think that i'm a loser
well you suck, cause you know i ain't nothin'
but a user of your love"

Ugghhhhhhh you're right Pseudo - can't believe I didn't pick that up!
I recognised the lyrics - but couldn't come close to placing them.
