Best song ever, what is yours?

[quote=“trapjaw”]And isn’t this:

from American Psycho? The parts where he pulls off his in-depth musical analyses before killing his victims are hilarious…

Yes, as was my post about Huey Lewis. I was wondering when somebody was going to get the joke.

I might not know what a friend is;

you’re one of them.

Black Flag

I’m sure the pre-Manson version by SML would be better known if New Zealand bands received the same sort of promotion and backing Marilyn Manson gets.

[quote=“Bob Marley”]I am on the rock and then I take a stock
I have to run like a fugitive to save the life I live
I’m gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion…

I’m on the run but I ain’t got no gun
See they want to be the star…

I’m on the rock, (running and you running)
I take a stock, (running like a fugitive)

I had to run like a fugitive just to save the life I live
I’m gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion…

Iron Like a Lion in Zion.[/quote]

I hear you bismarck!
Great song anywhere, but especially here, where sometimes, you have to be Iron to live the life on this “ROC”.

Sleeping Satellite - Tasmin Archer

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles’ flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don’t blame this sleeping satellite

Did we fly to the moon too soon
did we squander the chance
in the rush of the race
the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of man’s greatest adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles’ flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don’t blame this sleeping satellite

have we lost what it takes to advance?
have we peaked too soon?
if the world is so green
then why does it scream under a blue moon
we wonder why
If the earth’s sacrificed
for the price of it’s greatest treasure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles’ flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don’t blame this sleeping satellite

and when we shoot for stars
what a giant step
have we got what it takes
to carry the weight of this concept
or pass it by like a shot in the dark
miss the mark with a sense of adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles’ flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don’t blame this sleeping satellite
