Alright, looks like I found another stumper. The song's called I think it's gonna be a great day by Sean Moray.

An easier one this time:

He asked us:
(snort) "Be you angels?"
And we said "Nay,
We are but men." Rock!

That's Tribute by Tenacious D. Considering my signature, if anyone else had beaten me to it, I would have been disappointed

New one:
One two three and four is five,
Everybody here is a friend of mine.

Pop Goes the World by Men Without Hats

Artificial amateurs, aren't at all amazing
Analytically, I assault, animate things
Broken barriers bounded by the bomb beat
Buildings are broken, basically I'm bombarding
Casually create catastrophes, casualties
Cancelling cats got their canopies collapsing

Alphabet Aerobics, by Blackalicious. My turn again:

From the bible to the popular song,
there's one theme that we find all along;
Of all ideals they hail as good,
the most sublime is motherhood.

you'd be disappointed, am I right?

Another song by the same artist, not exactly horribly obscure music; I just assume a lack of interest in the thread:

These walls are paper thin
and everyone hears every little sound
Everyone's a voyeur here
They're watching me watch them watch me right now

*sigh* those last two were Lives and Paper Thin Walls by Modest Mouse

We'll try a little more mainstream.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky
followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
followed by fault lines that cannot sit still
followed by millions of dumbfounded dips*s
and some say the end is near
some say we'll see armageddon soon
certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
bulls* three ring circus sideshow
One great big festering neon distraction
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied
Learn to Swim
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it oughtta be.
Learn to Swim
Here in this hopeless f*ing hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any f*ing time. Any f*ing day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay
Cuz I'm prayin' for rain
I'm prayin' for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down
Mom please flush it all away
I wanna watch it go right in and down
I wanna watch it go right in
Watch you flush it all away...


Those lyrics are pretty darn close to right, if not the exact order... it's been a while since I've heard the song, and I'm recalling it from memory.

Aenema by Tool. And I hope you wouldn't mark me down for not knowing how to type that AE character thing.

My turn:

It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream & you can shout
It is too late now
Because you have not been paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention...

Personally i just hit the Æ key on my keyboard, but you can use the Æ HTML code as well.

2+2=5 by Radiohead


Hint: It's a Neil Diamond cover, although so far as I know these lyrics aren't in the original

Monkey pack him rizla on the sweet dep line

The line broke, the monkey get choke
Burn bad rizla pon him little rowing boat

Red Red Wine, by UB40

The law was very firm, it
took away my permit
the worse punishment I ever endured...
It turns out there was a reason,
cows were out of season,
and one of the hunters... wasn't insured.

Here's the first stanza of the song, to try to give you all a push on its title and artist:

I always will remember
twas a year ago november
I went out to hunt some deer
on a morning bright and clear
I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow
To game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow

It's "The Hunting Song" by Tom Lehrer


And she runs through her days
with a smile on her face
and she runs and she waits
and I wait...

We can drive to any place
day and night to cross this state
and in the morning into mexico
we will wake up...
we will wake up...
we will... yeah yeah...

I will be with her... yeah...
...
YEAH!!
...
I found a window in the kitchen
and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator
pour myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here
and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch
and her anxious breath
I stumble in the hallway
outside her bedroom door
I hear her call out to me
I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter
I press against the door

I will be with her tonight, yeah!
I will be with her tonight!
I will be with her tonight, yeah!
I will be with her tonight!
I will be with her, yeah yeah!
Yeah... Woah oh... Yeah... Woah oh... Yeah...
I will be with her... yeah yeah...

That was Echo and the Bunnymen - Bedbugs and Ballyhoo

The violinist puts his violin away
Forbidden city broken into tonight
I use my blindfold to dry my tears
The stage is empty and tired of light

But when I do the fan dance
I'm all the red in China
I'm dialing life up on my telescope
Fringe mathematics
Shaking down the curtain
To find the dragon parade

And when I do the fan dance
Search lights answer gun fire
Angels escort falling mercies
Hearts shut off like streetlights
But even in the blackout
I'll find my balcony rose

The violinist puts his violin away
Forbidden city broken into tonight
I use my blindfold to dry my tears
The stage is empty and tired of light

But when I do the fan dance
I'm firecracker lightning
I burn with no trace up in the cold sky
I am broken open
Waiting for inventions
Of light that see through love

But when I do the fan dance
I'm all the red in China
You write your questions on my skin
I'll be in your dark streets
To keep the lantern burning
Until your new world begins

You all fail... That was The Fan Dance by Sam Phillips

Here's a new one, much more mainstream, even though Sam Phillips is a legendary member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the founder of Sun Records, whose untimely early death at 80 years of age in 2003 was a tragedy that has left the world of music forever poorer.

And now, without further ado:

When you grab ahold of me
You tell me that I'll never be set free
But I'm a parasite
Creep and crawl I step into the light
Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a bad fish too?
Ain't got no money to spare
I hope the night will never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Wont somebody get me off of this reef

Baby you're a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
I swim but wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
Ain't got no quarrels with god
Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

Wow, surprised no one's come up with that, I don't know if I can really give any hints, none that'd really help...

'twas Badfish by Sublime

we'll try more in the direction of billboard, if not exactly current.


I ... Who took the money?
Who took the money away?
and I I I I... It's always showtime
Here at the edge of the stage
and I I I wake up and wonder
What was the place, what was her name?
We wanna wait, but here we go again...

I ... takes over slowly
But doesn't last very long
and I I I I ... no need to worry
Everything's under control
O - U - T But no hard feelings
Well, what do you know? Take you away
We're being taken for a ride again
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
She's moving up, going right through my heart
She's gonna give me surprise
Better than this, know that it's right
I think you can if you like
I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair
And nothing is better than that (is it?)

Down, down in the basement
We hear the sound of machines
and I I I I I'm driving in circles
Come to my senses sometimes
Why, why, why, why start it over?
Nothing was lost, everything's free
I don't care how impossible it seems

Somebody calls you but you cannot hear
Get closer to be far away
Only one look and that's all that it takes
Maybe that's all that we need
All that it takes, all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She goes wherever she likes. (there she goes)

I got a girlfriend that's better than that
Now everyone's getting involved
As we get older and stop making sense
You wont find her waiting long
Stop making sense, stop making sense,
Stop making sense, making sense
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And nothing is better than this (is it?)

Hey, it's Talking Heads!

Yep, your answer is right, your quote sounds like Prince, but that could just be just cause he's naughty, and sings another song called "cream" but I kinda doubt it. Sounds familiar though...
