Twist The Knife
A razors edge
The speed of your thoughts
A heart as black as coal
A sudden change
A painted-on smile
A woman with no soul
Dancin on the edge of my dreams
Dealin with your mixed up scenes
Darlin dont you know what I mean
Save me from this pain
Twist the knife
Turn it around
Twistin my life away
Twist the knife
Turn it around
Oh-oh
A liars dream
A piece of your heart
Dont really mean a thing
Scream right out loud
Youre feeling my pain
See what your fantasy brings
Dancin on the edge of my dreams
Dealin with your mixed up scenes
Darlin dont you know what I mean
Save me from this pain
(repeat chorus 4x)
Twist the knife
Twist the knife
Twist the knife
Keep on twistin

Twist
Well youve got me working so hard lately
Working my hands until they bleed
If I was twice the man I could be
Id still be half of what you need
Still you lead me and I follow
The small of your back up to your chin
Over to the tip of your switchblade
As you pull it out as you stick it in
(twist twist twist) it can go a little deeper
(twist twist twist) Im wear
T) it can go a little deeper
(twist twist twist) Im wearing these chains
(twist twist twist) you make it hurt real good
(twist twist twist) (but? ) I love the pain
(twist twist twist) it can go a little deeper
(twist twist twist) Im wearing these chains
(twist twist twist) you make it hurt real good
(twist twist twist) I love the pain
(twist twist twist)
(twist twist twist)
(twist twist twist)
(twist twist twist)
Turn it on
Quietly says:
Is this on? oh [questionable]
* Im so tired I cant get to sleep
* and the squeaking of the bed
* is right in time with the song thats
* repeating in my head
Its uncomforting to rember how you used to like a good f**k
Every once in awhile
* I just want(ed) you to know (that)
* when I do it, I only think of you

Let Me Live
Words and music by queen
Why dont you take another little piece of my heart
Why dont you take it and break it
And tear it all apart
All I do is give
All you do is take
Baby why dont you give me
A brand new start
So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Let me live, oh baby
And make a brand new start
Why dont you take another little piece of my soul
Why dont you shape it and shake it till youre really in control
All you do is take
And all I do is give
All that Im askin
Is a chance to live
(so let me live) - so let me live
(leave me alone) - let me live, let me live
Why dont you let me make a brand new start
And its a long hard struggle
But you can always depend on me
And if youre ever in trouble - hey
You know where I will be
Why dont you take another little piece of my life
Why dont you twist it, and turn it
And cut it like a knife
All I do is live
All I do is die
Why cant we just be friends
Stop livin a lie
So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Please let me live
(why dont you live a little)
Oh yeah baby
(why dont you give a little love...? )
Let me live
Please let me live
Oh yeah baby, let me live
And make a brand new start
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my soul now baby
Take another little piece of my life now baby
In your heart, oh baby
(take another piece, take another piece)
Please let me live
(take another piece, take another piece)
Why dont you take another piece
Take another little piece of my heart
Oh yeah baby
Make a brand new start
All you do is take
Let me live

Theres fighting on the left
And marching on the right
Dont look up in the sky
Youre gonna die of fright
Here comes the razors edge
Youre living on the edge
Dont know wrong from right
Theyre breathing down your neck
Youre running out of lives
And here comes the razors edge
Here comes the razors edge

Razors edge, to raise the dead
Razors edge, to cut to shreds
To raise the dead

Twist & Shout
[email protected] writes:
> anybody has the lyrics for the beatles sonf "twist & shout".
This Isley Brothers song was excellently covered by the Beatles. They
did several of their own versions, in terms of verse order and etc.,
especially shortening it as time went on and they began using it to open
every show (and tune up :-), before dropping it altogether when playing
live.
Here (from memory - I *think* correct...) is the studio version - apologies
for any errors.
-----------
(Ascending "ah!"s, adding harmonies...)
Well, shake it up baby, now!
(Shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout!
(Twist and shout)
Well, come on baby now
(Come on, baby)
Come on and work it on out
(Work it on out - ooooh!)
Well, work it on out!
(Work it on out)
You know you look so good
(Look so good)
You know you got me goin' now
(Got me goin')
Just like I knew you would
(Like I knew you would - ooooh!)
- Lead break -
(Ascending "ah!"s again)
Shake it up baby, now!
(Shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout!
(Twist and shout)
Come on baby now
(Come on, baby)
Come on and work it on out
(Work it on out - ooooh!)
You know you're a twistin' little girl
(Twistin' little girl)
You know you twist so fine
(Twist so fine)
C'mon and twist a little closer now
(Twist a little closer)
And let me know that you're mine
(Let me know you're mine)
Well, shake it - shake it - shake it baby, now!
(Shake it up, baby)
Well, shake it - shake it - shake it baby, now!
(Shake it up, baby)
Well, shake it - shake it - shake it baby, now!
(Shake it up, baby)

My Own Best Friend
Im beginning to like you
But, you know that aint right
cause youll just twist and twist and twist
Till Im all crooked inside
Then youll take all you gave me
Like it never was there
And I think that I might, no! I know
Yes, I will help you there
cause ...
Chorus
Ive done it before
And Id do it again
cause its the only time
That makes me feel like im
My own best friend
Im a victim of friction I just got too close to see
Yeah, we sparked in the dark and God hung a light on me
And the lamp gets real heavy and it hangs from my heart
And it comes, and it goes
Till I cant tell the difference apart
But ...
Repeat chorus
So many people say
Itll never work out that way
You cant stand the heat
While youre watching your heart
Just melt away in the basement
On a rainy day
La la la
La la la
La lala
Lalala la lalaaaaaaaaaa ...
Theres motel in shreveport
Dont ask me where, please
They check in, they check out
By the light of the color t.v.s
And the maid calls you honey
And she makes your bed slow
And she speaks, of the sheets that dont fit
But you know that she knows
That ...

Sunshine (The Acid Summer)
Roll and tumble with your big heart falling
Youre rolling tumbling alone
Beats forever what your dirty hands holding
You reach for something you will never know
Heard you singing in a taco bell bathroom
Heard you singing a cheap trick song
Yeah, we sang surrender all the way the county line
When I listen to that music
It makes me think of summertime
Yeah, that acid summer
We were wasted and happy
We were laughing in the sunshine
(sunshine)
Twist and turn with your bright eye shining
Twist and turn in the california sun
Wait forever for the life you dream of
You wait for something that will never come
You twist and turn in the slow motion daydream
You twist and turn in your own sweet hell
I dont get too close to the fire anymore
But when I think of you now, it makes me think of summertime
Yeah, that acid summer
We were wasted and happy
We laughing in the sunshine
Laughing in the sunshine
Laughing in the sunshine
Laughing in the sunshine
In the sunshine
Twist and turn with your bright eyes shining
Twist and turn in the california sun
Wait forever for the life you dream of
You wait for something that will never come
You twist and turn in the slow motion freefall
You twist and turn in your own good time
I cant watch you twisting and turning anymore
No I never thought a good time would turn into a lifestyle
No I just cant watch you wait anymore
But when I think of that summertime
It always seem to make me smile
(smile)
Yeah, that acid summer
We were wasted and happy
We were laughing in the sunshine

Six Blade Knife
Your six blade knife can do anything for you
Anything you want it to
One blade for breaking my heart
One blade for tearing me apart
Your six blade knife-do anything for you
You can take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
When you come up from behind and lay it down cold on my skin
Took a stone from my soul when I was lame
Just so you could make me tame
You take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
Id like to be free of it now - I dont want it no more
Id like to be free of it now - you know I dont want it no more
Everybody got a knife it can be just what they want it to be
A needle a wife or something that you just cant see
You know it keeps you strong
Yes and itll do me wrong
Your six blade knife - do anything for you

Twist In The Dark
Twist in the dark
I twist in the dark
Love is on the wing
Concorde
Seems like a groundhog
Your face could
Change everything
With a phone call
Like a maddog
Well it laid me out
When you told me
You'd slept about
And now I
Twist in the dark
I twist in the dark
Mad reasoning
Keeps us separate
Twist in the dark
I twist in the dark
My priorities are paradise
Love is in the air
Those arrows are sharp
And narrow
Your face is in a static state
In a picture that I captured
Well I broke down
When you told me
You'd slept around
And now I
Twist in the dark
I twist in the dark
Mad reasoning
Keeps us separate

Ice Burns
Let the ice burn upon my skin.
Oh how I need to feel it yet again.
Yeah get inside my head.
Twist and turn me from the outside in.
You don't have to manipulate me baby.
I'm more then willing.
In the heart you think your stealing.
Maybe that's what I wanted, with the pain you tried to deliver.
Sorry but you lost a friend.
I warned you from the start.
Before we went any farther.
Attachments, have to be numbed.
Let the ice burn upon my skin.
Oh how I need to feel it yet again.
Yeah get inside my head.
Twist and turn me from the outside in.
You don't have to manipulate me baby.
I'm more then willing.
In the heart you think your stealing.
But what is it you really think, your feeling.
With tears in your eyes you say goodbye.
You met the white knight.
And now you meet the black knight.
I warned you that we shouldn't go that way but you do not listen.
I can't be a friend to someone who so easily can rip some ones heart out.
Let the ice burn upon my skin.
Oh how I need to feel it yet again.
Yeah get inside my head.
Twist and turn me from the outside in.
You don't have to manipulate me baby.
I'm more then willing.
In the heart you think your stealing.
What is done is done.
So I had to walk away.
Pretending it was okay.
Accepting my own self inflicted wounds.
No tears in my eyes, but still it aches.
So I have to be cold.
This has grown old.
Let the ice burn upon my skin.
Oh how I need to feel it yet again.
Yeah get inside my head.
Twist and turn me from the outside in.
You don't have to manipulate me baby.
I'm more then willing.
In the heart you think your stealing
A warning from him but I already new.
Be done with you.
Another wasted sacrifice.
It meant nothing but caused so much pain.
Like nails on a chalk board.
It drives me insane.
Let the ice burn upon my skin.
Oh how I need to feel it yet again.
Yeah get inside my head.
Twist and turn me from the outside in.
You don't have to manipulate me baby.
I'm more then willing.
In the heart you think your stealing
You cheated and I know.
A confrontation we had.
He said he didn't do it, but I knew it.
He didn't care, and neither did I.
I attacked him at my front door.
By bringing that women right to my home.
That was the last night I ever spent with her.
Let the ice burn upon my skin.
Oh how I need to feel it yet again.
Yeah get inside my head.
Twist and turn me from the outside in.
You don't have to manipulate me baby.
I'm more then willing.
In the heart you think your stealing.
What would you do in my shoes?
If she wanted to be suddenly wanted to be just friends right after you heard about him.
So be it, I'm done with you.
I can't be friends with such a person.
Sell you soul girl I don't even care.
Let the ice burn upon my skin.
Oh how I need to feel it yet again.
Yeah get inside my head.
Twist and turn me from the outside in.
You don't have to manipulate me baby.
I'm more then willing.
In the heart you think your stealing
I wouldn't even dare, at a betrayal to myself.
You crossed the line.
Hope you survive.
Upon your families money.
Never holding your own.
Claiming to be all alone.
Let the ice burn upon my skin.
Oh how I need to feel it yet again.
Yeah get inside my head.
Twist and turn me from the outside in.
You don't have to manipulate me baby.
I'm more then willing.
In the heart you think your stealing.
Bring him, and watch him steal everything.
You did it already before.
The broken door.
Hurt me once more.
Let me not be that man.
Let it end before it begins.
Let the ice burn upon my skin.
Oh how I need to feel it yet again.
Yeah get inside my head.
Twist and turn me from the outside in.
You don't have to manipulate me baby.
I'm more then willing.
In the heart you think your stealing.

Twist
Before you go and
Leave this town
I want to see you one more time
Put your dirty angel face
Between my legs
And knicker lace
Fight me, try me
Kiss me like you like me
Twist it round again and again
I want to run away with you
Your caravan and rabbit stew
Don't buy me candyfloss or beers
Swarfega fingers, I want you there
Fight me, try me
Kiss me like you like me
Twist it round again and again
Ride me, try me
Kiss me like you like me
Twist it round again and again
Twist it round again and again

Keep On (Dancin')
(n. rodgers/g. smith)
Dancin, dancin
Keep on dancing
So you dont have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you dont have to feel the pain
Fate has dealt you a losing hand
Ever since the day that your life began
Wish you had some stronger ties
Theres no one around to hear you cry
Move on up now, dont you see
Stop pretending you need a quick release
In the nighttime, in the rain
Like a moth drawn to the flame
Keep on dancing
So you dont have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you dont have to feel the pain
Some people think they have everything
But theyre living in emotional poverty
They use their fronts making deals oh, mighty sharp
Theres no love and theyre bankrupt in the heart
Sky above and earth below
You cant hide, theres no place you can go
From yourself you cant run
When truth hurts its not much fun
Keep on dancing
So you dont have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you dont have to feel the pain
Keep on dancing
So you dont have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you dont have to feel the pain
Dancin, dancin, dancin
Dancin
Keep on
Keep on
Dancin
Sky above and earth below
You cant hide, theres no place you can go
From yourself you cant run
When truth hurts its not much fun
Keep on dancing
So you dont have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you dont have to feel the pain

Steppin On Top Of Your World
Ive seen that look
A look I know well
I cant decide
If this is heaven or this is hell
Inside your mind
That twisted device
Made up of fire
But it comes across like ice
I need to know what youre thinkin
And why you are here
If you had power
Who would make you disappear
Laughing without smiling
I cant take no more
Dancin in the madness
With the rope you twist thats around my neck
You know youre making me feel
Like a cancelled check
Chorus:
I said hey, you
Im steppin on top of your world
(Im steppin on top)
(Im steppin on top)
Hey you
Im steppin on top of your world
Warped by the curse
Youre puttin on me
I lay awake at night
And revenge is all I see
Times runnin out
But what should I do
It seems like the worst
Just aint good enough for you
Theres talkin, theres doin
Theres writing
Of things you dont know
The storys the same
But the answer is always unknown
Trying to remember
What Ive done to you
You dont even know me
With the rope that you twist
Thats around my neck
You know youre making me feel
Like a cancelled check

Kiss The Knife
its stupid for me
to let u back in my life
but i cant go no more
without kissing the knife
i know i made u made
i shall pay the price
but all i wanna do is.....
kiss the knife
u can stab me in my back
but i can take that
what makes me feel right
is a kiss to the knife
sharpiest knife in the draw
there is my knife out the door
kiss the knife goodbye
it cut me open
n i gave it my heart my life

My teacher wasn't half as nice as yours seems to be
'My teacher wasn't half as nice as yours seems to be.
His name was Mister Unsworth and he taught us history.
And when you didn't know a date he'd get you by the ear
And start to twist while you sat there quite paralysed with fear.
He'd twist and twist and twist your ear and twist it more and more.
Until at last the ear came off and landed on the floor.
Our class was full of one-eared boys. I'm certain there were eight.
Who'd had them twisted off because they didn't know a date.
So let us now praise teachers who today are all so fine
And yours in particular is totally divine.'

Wilbury Twist
Put your hand on your head
Put your foot in the air
Then you hop around in the room
In your underwear
Aint ever bin nothin quite like this
Come on baby do the wilbury twist
Lift your other foot up
Fall on your ass
Get back up,
Put your teeth in a glass
Aint ever bin nothin quite like this
Its a magical thing called the wilbury twist
Roll up your rug,
Dust your broom
Ball the jack,
Howl at the moon
Aint ever bin nothin quite like this
Everybodys tryin to do the wilbury twist
Turn your lights down low
Put your blindfold on
Youll never know
Where your friends have gone
Could be years before youre missed
Everybodys trying to do the wilbury twist
Its a different dance
For you all to do
Spin your body like a screw
Better not forget it on your shopping list
You can stop and buy one its the wilbury twist

Suicide
I sit here by myself, thinking of suicide
I look at a knife, wanting to commit suicide
I look at a photo, hating my life
Telling myself, suicide stops the pain
I turn the lights off, alone in dark
Reaching for the knife, that’s going to take it away
I think of certain people, they don’t care
For the first time, I think of myself
I dig the knife, into part of my skin
Letting all of my blood, pour out
I’m not dying quick enough, so another cut I make
Then a final cut on my neck, and a stab in my heart
