Posted by Psilocybin at 12:47am Feb 20 '14Anyone who can understand my singing and sing these two songs ("Walls Fall Down" and "The Teen-age Life") a cappella or put them to music on a guitar or piano?
All thanks to [private] for hosting these.
"Walls Fall Down"
http://lankyland.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wallsfall.mp3
The strongest walls fall down
The brightest fire burns out
The thickest blood breaks up
The farthest hours pass by
The tightest chains break loose
The fattest ropes wear thin
The darkest clouds grow white
The wettest tears run dry
Yeah, I'm sure
It's going to happen
Maybe not today
Maybe not tomorrow
Everything will be beautiful (someday)
Everything will be beautiful (someday)
Everything will be beautiful (someday)
Someday
I hope so . . .
Someday . . .
That's what they always tell me
That's what they say
The saddest days will end
The cruelest times will pass
The meanest world will go
The greatest pain will die
The weakest hearts can heal
The deadest lives can rise
If you just watch the sun
And hold your hands up high
What may occur
I'll keep on flappin'
To shine one sun's ray
That will burst the sorrow
Everything will be beautiful (someday)
Everything will be beautiful (someday)
Everything will be beautiful (someday)
Someday
I hope so . . .
Someday . . .
That's what they always tell me
That's what they say
You'll live to see all of these events
So remember when it's too much, and the pain gets too intense
Everything will be . . .
[Raps]
Everything's falling down, falling down, look at the world before us,
My life's going out with the bath water, drowned and drained, what's in store for us?
Many things and many changes, because when you hear the world around us collapse
There will soon be a new order, and it will be more to our liking, perhaps, just perhaps
When things fall it brings destruction and therefore changes come with creation
Seasons change, and with the seasons changing comes growth and innovation
They tell me this world is improving, but I'm just not seeing it yet
We ain't seen nothing yet
Are you ready, are you set?
We're going to see how bad it's going to get
And things will get worse
A phase they have to go through first
Before they can improve
Into something like you've
Never imagined, but that will be paradise
Very nice, a new roll of the dice, after blood and sacrifice and paying the price!
[End of rap]
Everything will be beautiful (someday)
Everything will be beautiful (someday)
Everything will be beautiful (someday)
Someday
I hope so . . .
Someday . . .
That's what they always tell me
That's what they say
