Nowhere, part 5 (Mad World, Tears for Fears version)

Live, Love, and Hate – by Orpheus

Week 84, part 5 – Nowhere, part 5 (Mad World, Tears for Fears version)

(immediately following the finish of Nowhere, part 4) This is the 98^th episode of Live, Love, and Hate. Woo-hoo. Anyway, this is going to be a menagerie update with all the songs from the Nowhere compilation in order. Oh, by the way, some lyrics are changed from what they really are to what they sound like.

First, Sin City by the Genitorturers:

“When the tracks are leading home to the limits of hell

We'll yell, life sure is swell!

In Sin City

In the streets where the servants of silence dwell

The visions of the wicked are sure to sell!

n Sin City

On the quickest strip goin, cum holy high rollin with me

Get you cash cup flowin, cum holy high rollin with me

Let your holy mother blow your fears away

Get on your knees and play!

In the heat where the Savior of Sodom dwells

Join hands with the women who squirm in hell,

In Sin City

Because the lord has mercy on the women who sell

Their pussies to the preachers who burn in hell,

In Sin City

The Devil's home for the depraved

Where the souls are never saved

That's why the holy rollers say

Get on you knees and pray

To breathe…in Sin City

To lie…in Sin City

Get high…in Sin City

Let your holy water wash away your shame

Cause the judgment day is just another game

On your knees and pray!”

Now, Nowhere by Beborn Beton

“I saw your picture in the news
Knowing you’re somewhere
I haven’t seen the warning sign
Although you were my friend
I hear your voice
I can still remember
I see you falling down
Still feel the warmth of your hand

Nowhere to run - nowhere to hide
When there’s no place to flee from remorse
Repentance won’t alter the course
There’s no escape from myself

Whatever happened there’s no use
Knowing they’ll never find me
If only I could turn back time
To make a change ... but then
You had the choice we’ve
Always been contenders
Give me a reason why
I still feel the warmth of your hand

Nowhere to run - nowhere to hide
When there’s no place to flee from remorse
Repentance won’t alter the course
There’s no escape from myself”

Now, Razor Cuts by the Genitorturers

“It calls to me

Such a clean catch from

You ask me if I want it to be

A part of the reason you're seeking to find

Inviting solutions twisting my mind

Drip, drip, feel it slip

Slipping in on you

Drip, drip, can you strip

Your fevered life from you?

Save your incision for me

Prepare to suffer!

As the razor’s slipping in

To the cleanest parts of me

Drip, drip, feeling sick

Sickness sighs from you

Quick, quick, enough to trick

The devils into you

Serving as a revalation

Fill your cup with indignation

Sever form the father!

They will cut you Down! Down! Down! Down!

Grip of desperation, tearing away

Take your confusion from me

Heaven’s never far from sin

Hell will be your second skin

Razor lies, I lie in wait

Make the decision before the incision in me!

Such a clean catch for me

You ask me if I want it to be

A part of the reason you're seeking to find

Inviting solutions twisting my mind”

Now, Paink? by Diary of Dreams

“Panik

Panik

(something I can’t understand) past

Invading present thinking

Dead end dreams

So thrilled

From all these lies

Limiting

Dignity

Your nasty ego

We thought we had a choice

Panik Manifesto

Panik

Angel,

How much longer?

Angel,

How much further?

Until your sweet cocoon?

Panik

I scribble on the ceiling

On the walls

And on the floor

I shiver in the corner

‘Cuz I forgot to lock the door

Deleted memories

Of False identities

Unfortunately, I

Did never say good bye.

Panik

Angel,

How much longer?

Angel,

How much further?

Until your sweet cocoon?”

Next, the Genitorturer’s cover of I Touch Myself (which is rather different from the original, lyrically speaking)

“I love myself,

I want you to love me,

When I feel down,

I want you above me,

I search myself,

I want you to find me,

Forget myself,

Want you to remind me.

I don’t want

Anybody else

When I think about you,

I touch myself.

You close your eyes

And see me before you

Think you would die

If I were to ignore you

A fool could see

Just how much you adore me

Get down on your knees

Do anything for me.

I’m the one who makes you come runnin’

Get’s you comin’ all the time

When I’m around

You’re always beggin’

I wanna make you mine.”

Next, the Brainclaw version of Mad World

“All around me are familiar faces,

Worn out places,

Worn out faces,

Bright and early for the daily races,

Going nowhere,

And their tears are filling up their glasses,

No expression,

Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow,

No tomorrow,

No tomorrow.

And I find it kinda funny,

I find it kinda sad,

The dreams in which I’m dying,

Are the best I’ve ever had,

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take,

When people run in circles,

It’s a very very

Mad world.

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy birthday

And I feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson,

Look right through me,

Look right through me.

And I find it kinda funny,

I find it kinda sad,

The dreams in which I’m dying,

Are the best I’ve ever had,

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take,

When people run in circles,

It’s a very very

Mad world.

Enlarging your

Mad world.”

Next, Terrorvision by the Genitorturers

“Today you're turning on your Terrorvision

Channel 1,2,3

Only seeing what we're giving

When you turn on me

That's destiny

That’s when you turn me on

To burnin’ red

I'll plant a seed of violence

Into every little head

Hail to the Freaks!! We got a freak show coming!

A game of chance is what you're playin’

When you play with me

Only hearin’ what we're saying

‘Cause when you're caught you're free,

That's destiny

That’s when you turn me on

To burnin’ red

While I plant a seed of violence

Into every little head

Hail to the Freaks!! We got a freak show coming!

Coming for contagion, Coming on the nation!

True lies, come and get you some, Channel 1,2,3

True lies, come and get you some, It's what you got to see

True lies, living free!

True lies, trip is free!

Round and round and round and round she goes

Where she stops nobody knows

Round and round and round and round she goes

Where she stops, Nobody knows!!

Hail to the freaks, we got a freak show comin’!

Coming for contagion, coming on the nation!

True lies, living free! Never gonna show what you wanna see.

True lies, trip is free! Never gonna run when you catch up to me

True lies, livin free! Never gonna run just let me be free

True lies, livin free! Never gonna run or hide from you and me

For you and me”

Next, So Much for Suicide by Tiamat

“Animated junkies trying hard to be insane
With only water in your veins
You seem to think the planets orbit around you
Then it might be only one thing to do

Silly cartoon creatures on cotton boulevard
Playing dead just like a retard
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares go away
And death can wait 'til another day

So much for suicide
Lots of talk but you never tried
A few pills short of a straight line
Waking up still feeling fine

A loudpipe duck and a pink rubber Minnie Mouse
A delirium trademark in a cardhouse
Wish I had your talent for feeling sorry for myself
Wish you dared to jump off that shelf”

Now, Mad World, Tears for Fears original version

“All around me are familiar faces,

Worn out places,

Worn out faces,

Bright and early for the daily races,

Going nowhere,

And their tears are filling up their glasses,

No expression,

Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow,

No tomorrow,

No tomorrow.

And I find it kinda funny,

I find it kinda sad,

The dreams in which I’m dying,

Are the best I’ve ever had,

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take,

When people run in circles,

It’s a very very

Mad world.

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy birthday

And I feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson,

Look right through me,

Look right through me.

And I find it kinda funny,

I find it kinda sad,

The dreams in which I’m dying,

Are the best I’ve ever had,

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take,

When people run in circles,

It’s a very very

Mad world.

Enlarging your

Mad world.”

Next, Halleluja by Rammstein, translated into English

“He is religious and very sensitive

On his wall is a picture of the Lord

He wipes the dust from the Bible

And he happily distributes the Communion

He loves the boys in the choir

They keep their souls pure

But the tenor worries him

So he must be closest to him

On his nightstand, quiet and wordless

A picture of the Lord

He slowly turns it around

When the church clock strikes twice

Hallelujah

He folds his hands for prayer

Hallelujah

He has lived without a wife

Hallelujah

So he must love his neighbour

Hallelujah

The young man is allowed to live with him

The sin nests above the leg

So he gladly helps to exorcize it

By music and candlelight

When the church clock strikes twice

Hallelujah

He folds his hands for prayer

Hallelujah

He has lived without a wife

Hallelujah

So he must love his neighbour

Hallelujah

Turn around slowly

Turn around”

Now, Lecher Bitch by the Genitorturers

“I am the Lecher bitch and I wear the X of castigation

I am the whore of the extreme

I am the heretic and I crave your excommunication

Look in my eyes

Get a little star struck and a little insane

Tell me your story. Don't worry, I won't care

Cuz I'm the incomparable

Got a mission impossible

Just say that you love me

I say HEY! You're coming all the way

I've got some hell to pay

I'm diggin' all the way

All the way down

I say HEY! You're coming all the way

I've got some hell to pay

Gonna rape you every way

On the way down

Again

Well I am the Lecher Bitch and I call on all who feed on danger

Taste of the whore suffer my seed

Crawl with the heretic and the world outside gets a little bit stranger

Look in my eyes

Wanna little star fuck and a little good pain

Tell me your story. Don't worry, I've been there

Crown me your savior

Don't worry I'll be there

(Chorus)

Don't belong lording above me

Won't be hard to pull you underground

It won't be long till ya love me

Then I'll be coming at your back

To break it down

(Chorus)

Crossed your heart but still I lied

Stick this needle down inside

Leave you with an open wound

Left to die alone

Like an animal”

The penultimate song is Cold by Chiasm (fun fact: penultimate is the second best word ever)

“The love I hold inside awaits

Held back beyond these icy gates

And he stares into the space

This will never fall in place

I could never be

You wanted me to stay inside the world you locked away

The one you've tried to see

But I won't hide from what could be

The future that was made for me

I don't want to be

I held your hand to say we had to part this time today

Anyone but me

But now I have no one to hold

This shell I've made has left me cold

Deep inside it's cold

Deep inside it's cold

I need you to agree this time it isn't me

And he stares into the space

This will never fall in place”

And finally, the Gary Jules version of Mad World

“All around me are familiar faces,

Worn out places,

Worn out faces,

Bright and early for the daily races,

Going nowhere,

And their tears are filling up their glasses,

No expression,

Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow,

No tomorrow,

No tomorrow.

And I find it kinda funny,

I find it kinda sad,

The dreams in which I’m dying,

Are the best I’ve ever had,

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take,

When people run in circles,

It’s a very very

Mad world.

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy birthday

And I feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson,

Look right through me,

Look right through me.

And I find it kinda funny,

I find it kinda sad,

The dreams in which I’m dying,

Are the best I’ve ever had,

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take,

When people run in circles,

It’s a very very

Mad world.

Enlarging your

Mad world.”
