Name the title of the song and the artist

Gosh - I love this thread. I have no clue on this song though.

and he carries the reminders
of every glove that knocked him down
or cut him till he cried out
in his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving".

The Boxer- Simon & Garfunkel

[VeraGemini]

I have to say I am impressed. I didn't think anyone would know this. Not because it is so special but, it is the first EP and wasn't a major lable release.

I'm a huge Queensryche fan, at least, up until Chris DeGarmo left. They lost something then.

I agree about DeGarmo. My son and I still listen to Operation Mindcrime (and watch the VHS tape Operation Livecrime) all the time. Loved it then, still love it today. I have seen them do the full Operation Mindcrime twice - once in 1991 and the other just last year. His voice is still breathtaking. You don't realize how good he is until you hear him sing live.

Some people they like to go out dancing
And other peoples they have to work
Just watch me now
And there's even some evil mothers
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Ya know that women never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes
And that ya know children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die
And, everyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh wouldn't turn around and hate it

the velvet underground - sweet jane
(and one of my favourite songs ever)

Well, New York City, man
San Francisco, L.A., I don't know
But Larry grew increasing neurotic and obscene
I mean, he, he never asked to be raised up from the tomb
I mean, no one ever actually asked him to forsake his dreams

He ended up like so many of 'em do
Back in the streets of New York City
In a soup queue, a dope fiend, a slave
Then prison, then the mad house
Then the grave, oh, poor Larry

Dig Nick Cave

Listen girl, I ain't sayin you're helpless
But sometimes, sometimes
Those are the things that bein' in love's about

If I was your girlfriend - Prince

She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Come on every way saying baby what ya gonna

dani california - red hot chili peppers

over the doctor, over the soldier
over the farmer, over the poacher
over the preacher, over the gambler
over the teacher, over the rambler
over the lawyer, over the dancer
over the voyeur, over the builder and the destroyer,
over the hills and far away

Tonight We Fly - Divine Comedy

You'll see Venus and Serena
In the Wimbledon arena

signs - jt & snoop dogg.

relentless,
yes, it's true
my motor mouth
runs over you
over you, over you
over you, over you

run around on me
I'd sooner die without
run around on me
die without

Tegan and Sara - Alligator

And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.

leonard cohen - famous blue raincoat

i need someone to take some joy in something i do
you need a man who's either rich or losing a screw
you know i love you here's the irony
you're going to walk away intact
i think you never liked me anyway

[calcifer]

you like yourself and you like men to kiss your arse
expensive clothes, please stop me there
i think I'm waking up to us - belle & sebastian

i will lead a wallpaper life
or run away to the foreign legion
i will lead a wallpaper life
or run away to the foreign legion

and as the tanks roll into town
as the tanks roll into town
a little bit of knowledge will destroy you
a little bit of knowledge will destroy you

where are all the radiohead fans?

to get this thread going again, an easier one :

Well the drums rolled off in my forehead
and the guns went off in my chest
Remember carrying the baby just for you
Crying in the wilderness

I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin
I cut them off as limbs
I drove out over the flatlands
hunting down you and him

Wide Open Road - The Triffids

When the sun shines
They slip into the shade
And sip their lemonade
When the sun shines, when the sun shines
