These are some of the lyrics I have chosen to stick on my site coz they've made me wanna write other similar songs or that I wish I'd written them myself at certain times.
No Use For A Name - On the Outside
TEN FOOT POLE
Is there something you should tell me?
Is there something I should know?
I guess I thought that you were happy but your eyes tell me. . .
Was the attention all that you needed?
Did we miss your silent cries?
Is it too late to try?
Who do you want to see?
Who did you want to be?
Is it too late?
Can you tell me what you want?
Can you tell me what you need?
I can't read your mind but would I understand if I could?
I can't tell you what you want I can't tell you what you need
I can't read your mind but would I understand if I could?
I see something in your eyes exactly what I can't tell and I'm still listening
exactly why I don't know can you feel it?
Can you find it?
Well I can't take it and I can't fake it anymore
Too late to find the reason
Too late to wonder why
Too soon to forget the question
Too soon to have to decide
Just why I'm still thinking about the times and places
What could have been, could have been different
What should have been... It's too late
Too late to kiss the answer
Too late to slap the truth
Too soon to cover footsteps
Too soon to start anew...
On a different trail of lies
Ignoring questions and wondering why
I can't say I don't love you and just can't say I do.
Too late.
NO USE FOR A NAME - On The Outside
I'll see you on the outside and we'll
never be the same
after all that's happened what is it that
we've gained?
well I've made mistakes before and
never lived them down
after all you've done for me i'm bound
(don't say another word)
To see you on the outside where we can
both be sane
(you're speaking for yourself) I'm
bleeding on the inside
a place you might have been but now I
know I'll (never be the same)
Well I heard you got a place and it's far
away from here
reality has sunken in now confirming
all my fears
I'm not gonna track you down and it's
too late to stop
thinking 'bout the time that we have lost
(I'm happy without you)
I'm trying to forget you and everything
we had (we didn't stand a chance)
we're miserable and it's true I haven't
learned a thing
but now I know I'll trust no one else
(There was a time when we were back
and forth, it wasn't easy)
I guess that we're back where we belong
one thing is for sure, it wasn't strong
I'll see you on the outside where we can
both feel shame
(you've never been more right)
I'm dying on the inside, you're never
coming back
and now I know whatever we go through
my heart is stuck with you
(I understand the ???)
(Hetfield, Ulrich)
Outta my way, outta my day
Outta your mind and into mine
Into no one, into no one
Into your step but outta time
Head strong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song
Before... you arrived
But now it's time
To kiss your ass good-bye
*Draggin me down, why you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call!
It ain't my bitch
Down on the sun, down and no fun
Down and out, where the hell ya been
Damn it all down, damn it unbound
Damn it all down to hell again
Stand tall, can't fall
Never even bend at all
Before... you arrived
But now it's time
To kiss your ass good-bye
* Repeat
No way but down, why you around?
No foolin'
It ain't my smile, it ain't my style
It ain't my bitch
Ain't mine, your kind
Your steepin outta time
Ain't mine, your kind
Your steppin outta time
Draggin me down, why you around?
No foolin'
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my...
Bitch... you ain't mine
Do you want to make a difference?
Do you wonder what would happen if you don't?
Do you need just a little push? Do you try to change?
Do you think about the other guy?
Do you want just one good reason why you should?
Do you only think about yourself?
Do you want to be left alone?
You're running out of time and I don't see a change in you
And I don't think you're goinna make it
Do you understand the way it works?
Do you want to take as much as you can get?
Do you need a little push?
Do you try to change?
We're running out of time and there aren't many changes made
And I don't think we're going to make it
Thanks for being a fuck.
I hope you drowned in your own vomit.
You really proved yourself to me,
And you really gave me something to remember you by...
I guess I changed a lot through the eyes of a jealous mind...
I won't forget your dumb face.
And to think all this time you were just a fake,
For the sake of humanity kill yourself and that would tide me over fine...
I'm bleeding misery.
Oh, eternal discontent- how consistent.
The only thing stable in my life is how I try....
To still this beating mind, so that I can finally rest.
The essence of my character is that I'm unable to be without worrying.
The words of dead humans seem so much more sincere
Than the half-signed contracts that tend to occupy the open air.
Still this beating mind, so that I can finally rest.
The essence of my character is that I'm unable to be without worrying.
Don't look at me you idiot.
Your evil eyes and your sneer don't make me feel like shit.
Go back to where you belong,
Where you can be amused by your empty-minded peers...
Why anyone likes you.
No one will ever know.
What the fuck are you goina do?
I hate the way you are... you are a numbskull.
Yeah, you.
And everyone knows it...
You're like a joke that every one keeps repeating.
It goes on and on and it's far past it's meaning.
I'm tired of dealing with you; I'm tired of looking at you...
I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your voice
The signs are obvious that all we had has run its course
And I don't mind giving up the upper hand in this little charade
Coz I've spent too many nights here on the floor
Waiting for something inside you to change
Don't look back in anger now is all that you can say
Coz angers all I got to keep me warm when you're away
And I know that this is nothing new but tonight is all I know
Disconnect myself from your memory and never feel anything at all
And all your words and all your actions
Don't mean anything to me
Coz I've cut you off
So here we stand and face each other
We've got nothing to say
A flashback to another time
When silence was a welcomed friend now
I'm sorry I can never really say all the things goin on inside my head
Silence is a justified expression of my war now nothings like it was before
Don't look back in anger
It's just a memory
It's easy to forget your face
And it's easy to survive in this place without you
Without you I just comb my hair and wash my face keep straight ahead
And keep my pace
Don't think about nothing I might never be all right
Well I got my friends
I got my pen
I got a million distractions to keep me warm
And I all I know is that it will be all right.
