cover #17: crazy

song: crazy
cover band: kidneythieves
original: patsy cline

comment: the original is just "omg, i'm so lonely without you," whereas the cover is kind of on par to bella's reaction to edward leaving in "new moon": absolutely psychotic. but this one's in a good way.



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
patsy cline - crazy
kidneythieves - crazy

lyrics: crazy
i'm crazy for feeling so lonely
i'm crazy
crazy for feeling so blue
i knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
and then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new

worry, why do i let myself worry?
wondering what in the world did i do?
crazy
for thinking that my love could hold you
crazy
for thinking that my love could hold you

i'm crazy for trying
and crazy for crying
and i'm crazy for loving you
i'm crazy for trying
and crazy for crying
and i'm crazy for love you

crazy
i'm crazy for feeling so lonely
i'm crazy for trying
and crazy for crying
and I'm crazy for loving you

cover #16: comfortably numb

song: comfortably numb
cover band: scissor sisters

comment: proof that you can dance to anything... even pink floyd.



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
pink floyd - comfortably numb
scissor sisters - comfortably numb

lyrics: hello
is there anybody in there?
just nod if you can hear me
is there anyone at home?

come on, now
i hear you're feeling down
well i can ease your pain
get you on your feet again

relax
i'll need some information first
just the basic facts
can you show me where it hurts?

there is no pain you are receding
a distant ship's smoke on the horizon
you are the only coming through in waves
your lips move
but i can't hear what you're saying

when i was a child, i had a fever
my hands felt just like two balloons
now i've got that feeling once again
i can't explain, you would not understand
this is not how i am
i have become comfortably numb

okay
just a little pinprick
there'll be no more
but you may feel a little sick

can you stand up?
i do believe it's working good
that'll keep you going through the show
come on, it's time to go

there is no pain, you are receding
a distant ship's smoke on the horizon
you are the only coming through in waves
your lips move
but i can't hear what you're saying

when i was a child, i caught a fleeting glimpse
out of the corner of my eye
i turned to look but it was gone
i cannot put my finger on it now
the child is grown, the dream is gone
i have become comfortably numb

first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
t.A.T.u. - all the things she said
hurra torpedo - all the things (s)he said

lyrics: all the things she said
all the things she said
running through my head
running through my head
running through my head

all the things she said
all the things she said
running through my head
running through my head
running through my head
this is not enough
this is not enough

i'm in serious shit
i feel totally lost
if i'm asking for help
it's only because
being with you has opened my eyes
could i ever believe such a perfect surprise?

i keep asking myself, wondering how
i keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out
wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me
nobody else so we can be free
Nobody else so we can be free

all the things she said
all the things she said
running through my head
running through my head
running through my head

all the things she said
all the things she said
running through my head
running through my head
running through my head
this is not enough
this is not enough

and i'm all mixed up
feeling cornered and rushed
they say it's my fault
but I want her so much
wanna fly her away where the sun and rain
come in over my face
wash away all the shame
when they stop and stare
don't worry me
cuz i'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me
i can try to pretend
i can try to forget
but it's driving me mad
going out of my head

all the things she said
all the things she said
running through my head
running through my head
running through my head

all the things she said
all the things she said
running through my head
running through my head
running through my head

this is not enough
this is not enough

mother looking at me
tell me what do you see?
yes, i've lost my mind

daddy looking at me
will i ever be free?
have i crossed the line?

all the things she said
all the things she said
running through my head
running through my head
running through my head

all the things she said
all the things she said
running through my head
running through my head
running through my head

this is not enough
this is not enough
this is not enough

cover #14: spaceman

song: spaceman
cover band: kovenant
original: babylon zoo

comments: wow, this song is a lot darker than i remember. holy crap. even the original.



first song is cover, second is original.

where do you get it?
your guess is as good as mine; despite being a rather popular song in the 90's, you can't either version on amazon. so you will have to look deep into the web of pain and sorrow.

lyrics:
spaceman
i always wanted you to go into space, man
intergalactic christ
spaceman
i always wanted you to go into space, man
intergalatic christ

pungent smells
they consummate my home
beyond the black horizon
trying to take control
see my girl
she shivers in her bones
the sun and zenith rising
trying to take us all

there's a fire between us
so where is your god?
there's a fire between us
i can't get off the carousel
i can't get off the carousel
i can't get off the carousel
i can't get off this world

the sickening taste of homophobic jokes
images of fascist folks
beam me up cuz i can't breath

spaceman
i always wanted you to go into space, man

it's time to terminate this great white world
morbid fascinations
television takes control
decimation, different races fall
electronic information tampers with your soul

there's a fire between us
so where is your god?
there's a fire between us
i can't get off the carousel
i can't get off the carousel
i can't get off the carousel
i can't fall off this world

the sickening taste of homophobic jokes
images of fascist folks
beam me up cuz i can't breath

spaceman
i always wanted you to go into space, man

spaceman
i always wanted you to go into space, man
intergalactic christ
spaceman
i always wanted you to go into space, man
intergalactic christ
spaceman

cover #13: send me an angel

song: send me an angel
cover band: zeromancer
original: real life

comments: dude, you really must see the music video for the original:





first song is cover, second is original.

where do you get it?
real life - send me an angel
zeromancer - send me an angel

lyrics: do you believe in heaven above
do you believe in love
don't tell a lie
don't be false or untrue
it all comes back to you

open fire
on my burning heart
i've never been lucky in love
my defenses are down
a kiss or a frown
i can't survive on my own

and if a girl walks in
and draws her name in my heart
i'll turn and run away
every day we've all been led astray
it's hard to be lucky in love

it gets in your eyes
it's making you cry
don't know what to do
don't know what to do
you're looking for love
calling heaven above

send me an angel, send me an angel
right now, right now
send me an angel, send me an angel
right now, right now

empty dreams can only disappoint
in a room behind your smile
but don't give up, don't give up
you can be lucky in love

it gets in your eyes
it's making you cry
don't know what to do
don't know what to do
you're looking for love
calling heaven above

send me an angel, send me an angel
right now, right now
send me an angel, send me an angel
right now, right now

it gets in your eyes
it's making you cry
don't know what to do
don't know what to do

send me an angel, send me an angel
right now, right now
send me an angel, send me an angel
right now, right now
send me an angel
right now, right now
