Put on your peacemaker blue
Warrior
warrior
Powder horn pepperbox boom
Warrior
warrior
matchlock rifle cycle axe and club
talon dagger marble razor
put on your peacemaker and call upon your
god of war
god of war
enyo anat chemosh oracle
arm us guard us bring us home
stay home i beg you oh my lover
my lover
my lover
or i will not serve you as your lover
your lover
your lover
dita corset stocking s and thigh cuffs
hornet playsuit oil diamond dust
until you draw action from a higher resonance

i will tamp the lamp light in our window
i will drown the fire in our bed
through my legs
ill withhold from you passage
and from my

lips to take
tongue and taste
sex and make
milk in your baby
swords enraged
fuck me babe
pray abstain girls reign

put down your peacemaker blue
warrior
warrior
beaten and broken and bruised
warrior
warrior
come and ill unlock your chain link armour
seven baths absolve your blood stained honor
your honor
tell the water of
the bread in the basket
the game on the fire
the milk in the jar
the milk in the jar
the babe in the cradle
the mothers in bed
asleep in the dark
asleep in the dark
your circled the cabin and broke down the door
you broke down the door
you broke down the door
you emptied the cradle and ravished the bed
you ravished the store
and fired your torch

now i take you to the bed and there you lay
i drop my dress and feed your hungry eye
until you draw action from a higher resonance
i will tamp the lamplight in our window
i will drown the fire in our bed
through my legs ill withhold from you passage
and from my lips to take
tongue and taste
sex and make
milk in your baby
swords enraged
fuck me babe
pray abstain girls reign

    It's the story of Lysistrata! - Ancient greek play by Aristophanes, about the women who withhold sex from their husbands and lovers to get them to make peace and end the Polypenesian War.

    I liked this song, but hadn't read the lyrics before - it's cool to see that it's a reference to this....

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
