I have always really liked this song...I remember in the old days when I had it on 8 track that I could barely hear it and could never make out the words, then on cassette I could just make out the words, now on CD with a good head unit, I can make them out just fine...also, google really helps clarify it.

What sad lyric songs do you guys like??



Four and Twenty years ago
I come into this life,
Son of a woman
And a man who lived in strife.
He was tired of being poor
But he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like a devil to be more.

A different kind of poverty now upsets me so
Night after sleepless night
I walk the floor and want to know
Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman, can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away?
Is she gone?

Morning comes the sunrise,
And I'm driven to my bed
I see that it is empty
And there's devils in my head.
I embrace the many colored beast.
I grow weary of the torment
Can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.
 
OK, I'll go first...

"Sad" got me to thinking of another topic now....


Judas Priest Sad Wings of Destiny....arguably one of the best heavy metal albums since Sabbath's early days.

:D

Did Ann leave you? Do you need a shoulder to cry on? I can send some girls over from P.T.'s if you like. They will make you feel much better. We are all here for you Dave.

Modern Day Zero - Clear Day

A faded picture
Empty cigarette case
It's on the night stand
That reveals my place
Empty bottle
Relays my thoughts
It's for the cheap seats
And your life's the cost
Does it really get hard from here
Does emotion ever come from your fears

[Chorus]
On a clear day
Get up and look around
On a clear day
You know where I'll be found
On a clear day
Six feet under ground
'Cause the rain won't fall
When I decide to die

When I watch you while you're sleeping
You turn away
Somehow you feel my stare
Do you want me to continue my life
Without the comfort
Of those days gone by
Do you really feel how you say
Do those gray clouds ever go away

[Chorus]

Do you really feel how you say
Do those gray clouds ever go away

[Chorus]

I don't ever want to die on a clear day
 
Another good one...

Everlast, What it's like:

We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin for your change
the hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
he asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"get a job you ****ing slob" is all he replied.

God forbid you ever had to walk mile in his shoes
cos then you really might know what its like to sing the blues
then you really might know what its like

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom
who said he was in love
he said don't worry bout a thing baby doll,
I'm the man you've been dreamin of
but 3 months later he say he wont date her or return her calls
and she swear god damn if I find that man
Im cutting off his balls
then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door
they call her a killer and they call her a sinner and they call her a
whore

god forbid you ever had to walk mile in her shoes
then you really might know what its like to have to choose
then you really might know what its like

I’ve seen a rich man beg, Iv seen a good man sin,
I’ve seen a tough man cry
I’ve seen a loser win and a sad
man grin I heard an honest man lie
Iv seen the good side of bad and
the down side of up and everything between
I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup and
smoked the finest green
I Stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of
times before I broke their hearts
you know where it is yo,
it usually depends on where you start.

I knew this kid named max who used to
get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
he liked to hang out late, he liked to get **** faced
and keep apace with thugs
until late one night there was a
big gun fight and max lost his head
he pulled out his chrome
.45 talked some **** and wound up dead
now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst
of all of this pain
you know it crumbles that way, at least that’s what they say
when you play the game

god forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
then you really might know what its like to have to lose
and then you really might know what its like
then you really might know what its like
then you really might know what its like
to have to lose.
 
We got to watch the lyrics with the cuss words...family friendly site here remember. That is what is good about my music choices...they were from a purer time.
