cover #30: zombie

song: zombie
cover: ororo
original: the cranberries

comments: nothing like getting down to a song about war and despair and suffering. where are my fucking glow sticks?!



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
the cranberries - zombie
soooo, there isn't the actual, wordy version of ororo's cover of zombie on amazon, but there is the karaoke version.

lyrics: another head hangs lowly
child is slowly taken
and the violence caused such silence
who are we mistaken

but you see, it's not me
it's not my family
in your head, in your head
they are fighting
with their tanks, and their bombs
and their bombs, and their guns
in your head, in your head
they are crying

in your head, in your head
zombie, zombie, zombie
what's in your head, in your head
zombie, zombie, zombie

another mother's breaking heart is taking over
when the violence causes silence
we must be mistaken

it's the same old theme
since 1916
in your head, in your head
they're still fighting
with their tanks, and their bombs
and their bombs, and their guns
in your head, in your head
they are dying

in your head, in your head
zombie, zombie, zombie
what's in your head, in your head
zombie, zombie, zombie

cover #29: last caress

song: last caress
cover: aerial m
original: the misfits

comments: where do i start making fun of danzig? the fact that he's my height? his inability to wear a shirt? his singing songs about killing babies and raping moms when we all know they would both take him down with one punch? i guess i'll just let the soothing sounds of this cover chuckle you to a more peaceful state.



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
the misfits - last caress
aerial m - last caress

lyrics: i got something to say
i killed a baby today
and it doesn't matter much to me
as long as it's dead

well, i got something to say
i raped your mother today
and it doesn't matter much to me
as long as she's spread

sweet lovely death
i am waiting for your breath
come, sweet death
one last caress
sweet lovely death
i am waiting for your breath
come, sweet death
one last caress

well, i got something to say
i killed your baby today
and it doesn't matter much to me
as long as it's dead

sweet lovely death
i am waiting for your breath
come, sweet death
one last caress
one last caress, sweet death
one last caress, sweet death

cover #28: from out of nowhere

hey.

how's it going?

yeah? good, that's good.

me? oh i'm ok.

anyhow.


song: from out of nowhere
cover: apocalyptica
original: faith no more

comments: this randomly came onto my mp3 player this morning, and i was immediately sucked violently back in time to when i was a teenager and this was the shiznite and i had very little working knowledge of faith no more beyond epic. i have since smartened up.



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
faith no more - from out of nowhere
apocalyptica - from out of nowhere

lyrics: um... dundundun
dundundun
dundundun
dundundun

(lots of dundundundundundundundundundundundundundundundundundundun in the background)

dunnnn dunn-dunnnnn dunn-dun-dunnnn-dunnn-dundun

ok this is silly.

tossed into my mind
stirring the calm
you splash me with beauty
and pull me down
cuz you come from out of nowhere
my glance turns to a stare

obsession rules me
i'm yours from the start
i know you see me
our eyes interlock
cuz you come from out of nowhere
my glance turns to a stare

one minute here
and one minute there
don't know if i'll laugh or cry
one minute here
and one minute there
and then you wave good-bye

sifting to the bottom
every day for two
all energy funnels
all becomes you
cuz you come from out of nowhere
my glance turns to a stare

one minute here
and one minute there
don't know if i'll laugh or cry
one minute here
and one minute there
and it hurts inside

one minute here
and one minute there
and then you wave good-bye
good-bye
