How great is this song?

[GCPanther]

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one new me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

I love this song, it's ****ing awesome. It's called mad world and is from Donnie Darko

[rumplespliffskin]

its rubbish. its not really from donnie darko. theres a cover for it in donnie darko but its a tears for fears song. and its by far their worst. i absolutly hate that song

[K.Hunt]

I hate it, it's also been covered by Gary Jules. It is on the Gears Of War add as well. Very Emo style lyrics as well. This is a good song:

Mr. Crowley, what went wrong in your head
(Oh) Mr. Crowley, did you talk to the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
(Yea)You waited on Satan's call

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred, manifest on this earth
(Ah)Conceived in the eye of a secret
Yeah, they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse?
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear that maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall

Was it polemically sent
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant, yeah!

[Roaddogg]

I hate it, it's also been covered by Gary Jules. It is on the Gears Of War add as well.

[No1_Warriors_lover]

I've never heard it in my life.

[GCPanther]

its funny cause I hate most emo sort of music, where as I like this song

[Hazem't got magic]

Iris by tho goo goo dolls is a great song lyrically.

[No1_Warriors_lover]

Iris by tho goo goo dolls is a great song lyrically.

It's a good song generally as well, the lyrics are great though.

[Ritalindude]

I like it.

[Kurdt]

Mr Crowley is better.

[Alec]

Mr Crowley is better.

Agreed.....

[No1_Warriors_lover]

Mr Crowley is better.

No, IMO.

...........

[Alec]

No, IMO.

...........

I take it you never heard Mr. Crowley.

[Kurdt]

I take it you never heard Mr. Crowley.
That would be the only explanation.

[K.Hunt]

It's funny how I just posted the lyrics of the song that I was listening to and some of you recognized it.

[Mr.Sark]

I've never heard it in my life.
I concur....

[Alec]

It's funny how I just posted the lyrics of the song that I was listening to and some of you recognized it.

How is it funny? Mr. Crowley is probably Ozzy's most famous song. :confused:

[Manero]

I despise this song very much.

[Peaches]

It's on the Gears of War commercial. :cool:

[K.Hunt]

How is it funny? Mr. Crowley is probably Ozzy's most famous song. :confused:

How many people here actually listen to metal let alone older metal?

[Alec]

How many people here actually listen to metal let alone older metal?

Point taken. :D

You could have also said good metal, not stuff like Metallica.

[Manero]

I know a better song. :p

Finished with my woman cause she couldnt help me with my mind
People think Im insane because I am browning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think Ill lose my mind if I dont find something to pacify

Can you help me thought you were my friend
Whoah yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I cant find
I cant see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but its too late

[speirz]

Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing-out parade at Puckapunyal
It was a long march from cadets.
The sixth battalion was the next to tour, and it was me who drew the card.
We did Canungra, Shoalwater before we left.

And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay
This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean.
And there's me in my slouch hat with my SLR and greens.
God help me, I was only nineteen.

From Vung Tau, riding Chinooks, to the dust at Nui Dat
I'd been in and out of choppers now for months.
But we made our tents a home, VB and pinups on the lockers
And an Asian orange sunset through the scrub.

And can you tell me, doctor, why I stil can't get to sleep?
And night-time's just a jungle dark and a barking M16?
And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
God help me, I was only ninteen.

A four week operation when each step could mean your last one on two legs
It was a war within yourself.
But you wouldn't let your mates down til they had you dusted off
So you closed your eyes and thought about something else.

Then someone yelled "Contact!" and the bloke behind me swore
We hooked in there for hours, then a Godalmighty roar
Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon,
God help me, he was going home in June.

I can still see Frankie, drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
On a thirty-six hour rec leave in Vung Tau
And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the jungle
Til the morphine came and killed the ****** row.

And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears
And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real.
I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel
God help me, I was only nineteen.

And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?
And why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet?
And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
God help me, I was only nineteen.

[K.Hunt]

I know a better song. :p

Finished with my woman cause she couldnt help me with my mind

A great Black Sabbath song:cool:

[COWBOYS]

Point taken. :D

You could have also said good metal, not stuff like Metallica.

Even though they along with anthrax, megadeth and slayer are the 'big four' thrash metal bands of all time.:rolleyes:

[Alec]

OK, stop stalking me, and I don't give a damn about Thrash Metal at all. Lowest form of Metal IMO, along with Power.

Stalking you? HA

Cant I give my opinon? You seem to do it alot. But what I said was pretty much common knowledge among metal fans.

[Alec]

You can give your opinion, but what you said last wasn't...at least the way you said it you tried to make it out as a fact....

But what I said was pretty much common knowledge among metal fans.

That's great...really. Looks like someone is hurt by my opinion.

:confused: The big four?

Thats because it is fact, google it. Its not something I made up :confused:

Hurt? Nah I just can’t tolerate arrogant tossers who cant get over themselves.

[Alec]

How is it a fact? It's all opinions - and I have mine. I don't need you telling me whats right and whats wrong. Go cry somewheres else please.

[rumplespliffskin]

[rumplespliffskin]

A great Black Sabbath song:cool:
paranoid is ozzys, not sabbaths

[Alec]

paranoid is ozzys, not sabbaths

Paranoid is made by Sabbath back when Ozzy was still part of the band.

[rumplespliffskin]

Dude I’m not the one that at every opportunity goes on about metallica. What do you expect?
although alec is a teenager, he still knows that metallica arent the be all and end all of metal. they, like iron maiden are pop metal. any genre with pop in its name should have the second name removed. alec knows this and couldnt give a stuff about metallica

[rumplespliffskin]

Paranoid is made by Sabbath back when Ozzy was still part of the band.
why do i only ever see it as ozzys then? or is it another sabbath song he remade?

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHaHHA come off it.

Yes Metallica now days are a disgrace, I was refering to their earlier stuff.

[COWBOYS]

Ozzy sings it alot in his solo concerts, I think he has the rights to it or something. Not sure but he plays some other sabbath songs too.

[Alec]

Iron Maiden is another cheesy metal band. Nothing special either, rumple is right.

[COWBOYS]

Iron Maiden is another cheesy metal band. Nothing special either, rumple is right.

They are NOT a pop metal band. They are classified as 'New wave of british heavy metal' and if you guys actually knew ANYTHING about heavy metal you would know this. Even if you dont like the band.

no, youre just trying to make yourself look good. i like iron maiden, but they are nothing special. theyre not pioneers, they dont have any excellent songs (mother russia is their best) and theyre nowhere near heavy. theyre alright, metallica are better, but neither of them are full blooded metal. both are cheesy pop stuff.

[Billy Olsen]

On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a minus 2 slit wrists

Im done tryin to explain, just read that.
i dont give a crap whats written down in theory by music geeks. those who love to make themselves look like intellectuals by making tonnes of different genres when there only needs to be a dozen or two. metallica and iron maiden are two of the cheesiest yet popular bands of all time. everyone knows metallica arent the biggest metal band and every iron maiden fanboys admit iron maiden is cheesy. in closing, i dont care what the rolling stone loving, black armband wearing, orgy in a record store having, slayer groupies say, nickelback are "metaler" than metallica and iron maiden. also, go and whack off over your slayer pictures. youll no longer get any action out of me. im going to bed.

You said maiden was pop music.

Which is like saying black is white.

[rumplespliffskin]

You said maiden was pop music.

i did nothing of the sort. i said they were pop metal. the gheyest type of metal there is. i dont care how much youre in love with their members, theyre not hard and the music isnt very heavy at all.

[COWBOYS]

i did nothing of the sort. i said they were pop metal. the gheyest type of metal there is. i dont care how much youre in love with their members, theyre not hard and the music isnt very heavy at all.

Then you'd be wrong because they are not pop metal.

DAMN IT. i was paying attention last night when i was on 5,987. i knew it was coming up but forgot about it this morning

[K.Hunt]

Iron Maiden are probably the forth most important metal band ever you know. They kept metal going during the punk invasion, them and Judas Priest. If we didn't have them we would probably not have much metal at all now. They are not really a heavy band but they are still pure metal. Metal is not just about being heavy. The only really heavy bands around now are Slayer and death/ black metal bands.

It's like how Black Sabbath & Led Zepelin aren't really heavy but you would not say that they aren't pure heavy metal would you?
