Jens Lekman - Friday Night At The Drive-In Bingo

In a tiny tiny southern Swedish country town
two acres of field and a gas station
riding on my moped, looking for fun
staring into the blood red sun

on the country road is a boulevard
with neon lights and night open bars
in my jacket a pack of playing cards
just jacks, jokers, and the queen of hearts

my heart is beating, beating like Ringo
as I pull into the drive-in bingo

why do the people in the country wanna look like the people in the city?
when the people in the city aren't the slightest pretty I want the people in the country to wear flannel shirts and saggy jeans all covered in dirt
I want the people in the country to be open and kind
but most times I've met those with a narrow mind
with a big black dog to bite your behind
if htey ever find out you're not one of their kind
all these thoughts as I open up a zingo
Friday night at the drive-in bingo

so this is what they do out here for fun?
they play bingo and let their engines run?
tonight's jackpot is a pig, hey that's criminal!
G-42! ooh, I'm going diagonal!

I'm gonna gather up a few of my friends
as many fits into an army tent
just bring our savings and a bottle of wine
to the Friday night's reversal of time!
this little south-west village shouldn't cost that much
maybe a handful of silver or a hundred bucks
we could have wild wild parties in that big old lodge and the windmill's perfect for movies and such
we could fake our deaths to get insurance money and take on hippie names
I'd be Snowphish, you'd be Sunny, we could start a little farm with little white bunnies
just cause watching them copulate is very funny

there's a cow and an ostrich just waiting for you!
a glass of apple cider just waiting for you!
the smell of 1952 just waiting for you!
and all I'm doing here is just waiting for you...

a daydream, I'm caught up in limbo
Friday night at the drive-in bingo

Defying Gravity


(spoken) Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for
once, instead of flying off the handle!
(sung) I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!

ELPHABA
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition

BOTH
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now

GLINDA
(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
(sung) You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted:

ELPHABA
(spoken) I know:
(sung) But I don't want it -
No - I can't want it
Anymore:

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!

GLINDA
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur:

ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down:
(spoken) Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
do: together.

(sung) Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Glinda -
Dreams, the way we planned 'em

GLINDA
If we work in tandem:

BOTH
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity

ELPHABA
They'll never bring us down!
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?

GLINDA
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this

ELPHABA
(spoken) You too
(sung) I hope it brings you bliss

BOTH
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend:

ELPHABA So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

GLINDA
I hope you're happy!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her, she's wicked!
Get her!

ELPHABA
:Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her

ELPHABA
Ahhh!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Down!

Altered Boy - Exodus

Music and Lyrics: Gary Holt

Unholy pedophile
Praying on the innocent
Protected by the papacy
So-called men of enlightenment
Children fingered by the hand of god
Raped in the name of Christ
They took a vow of chastity
Yet have torn asunder so many a life

[Chorus]

Chicken hawks of the Catholic Church
Out to save and destroy
They have become the priest of burden
And he's become an altered boy

Men so benevolent
In a position of trust
Molesting children by the score
Rendering young life straight into dust
They're church is their Golgotha
Their crucified by the priest
Child becomes the victim
Holy father becomes the beast

[Chorus]

Multi-million dollar payouts
Restitution for their crimes
This vile sickness
Cut too many down in their prime
All the bishops and the cardinals
Tried to hide it away
In the parish and cathedrals
The predators come to prey

[Chorus]

Drink the blood of the priest - Brocas Helm

Drink the blood of the priest as it flows from the altar
Drink the blood of the priest as it flows to the grave
Body of Christ it lays there before you
Body of Christ it lays there for you
From the depths of Hell they call your name
They've lost their way and have only you to blame
They know not what they do
They feel your love for them was never true

Sing for the glory
Dream of yesterday
Just sing a song of love and joy
In your heart
(repeat once)

Speak softly my lord, just walk away
Speak softly my lord, they won't beat you here this way
I know it's hard to say goodbye
Sometimes a part of you has to die

Sing for the glory
Dream of yesterday
Just sing a song of love and joy
In your heart
(repeat five times while fading)

Little Lion Man- Mumford and Sons

Weep for yourself, my man,
You'll never be what is in your heart
Weep little lion man,
You're not as brave as you were at the start
Rate yourself and rape yourself,
Take all the courage you have left
Wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really f*cked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?

Tremble for yourself, my man,
You know that you have seen this all before
Tremble little lion man,
You'll never settle any of your scores
Your grace is wasted in your face,
Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
Learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really f*cked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?

Feuer frei!

Getadelt wird wer Schmerzen kennt
vom Feuer das die Haut verbrennt
Ich werf ein Licht
in mein Gesicht
Ein heißer Schrei
Feuer frei!

Bäng bäng

Geadelt ist wer Schmerzen kennt
vom Feuer das in Lust verbrennt
Ein Funkenstoß
in ihren Schoß
Ein heißer Schrei
Feuer frei!

Bäng bäng
Feuer frei!

Gefährlich ist wer Schmerzen kennt
vom Feuer das den Geist verbrennt
Bäng bäng
Gefährlich das gebrannte Kind
mit Feuer das vom Leben trennt
Ein heißer Schrei
Bäng bäng
Feuer frei!

Dein Glück
ist nicht mein Glück
ist mein Unglück

Bäng bäng
Feuer frei!

----------------------

Und in Englisch:

Whoever knows pain becomes criticized
from the fire that burned up the skin
I throw a light
in my face
A hot cry
fire at will! *

Bang bang

Whoever knows pain is raised
from the fire that burns in desire
A sparking thrust
into her womb
A hot cry
fire at will!

Bang bang
Fire at will!

Whoever knows pain is dangerous
from the fire that burns the soul
Bang bang
The burned child is dangerous
with fire that separates from the life
A hot cry
Bang bang
Fire at will!

Your happiness
is not my happiness
it is my misery

Bang bang
Fire at will!

I've never really considered it a Columbine song. As with most of ramstein's song it has a deeper meaning inside the lyrics.

The song is essentially about the dangerous effects of ignoring anger and the uncontrolled release of that anger that results. "Feuer Frei" is metaphorical in that sense. Ramstein's lyrics can be can have some serious social critiques or commentary in them. Despite their underserved image they actually write some very inteligent songs.

In honour of Ronnie James Dio:

Holy Diver - Dio
