Stronger Than

"Stronger Than" by Duboce Triangle

paganini was stronger than beethoven was
every time they wrestled paganini won the day
in a seedy backstreet viennese hotel
duchesses and beggars cheered the fray

it was a showdown
it was the main event, the fire roared like lions
they were low down
and the blood was let, the duel was so fine
and the scissor hold, a headlock
and the scissor hold, a cry!
beethoven lost his hearing and
he nearly lost an eye

(chorus)

it was a bloodbath
it was a crying shame, every child and man
had a good laugh
paganini gave his mighty body slam
and the scissor hold is frightful
and the scissor hold, insane
beethoven heard bells ringing
and he jotted their refrain

STRONGER THAN - by JBB
----------------------

Time
Stronger than
Little man
Takes away
Every day
Just before
He can score

Time
Stronger than
Also ran
Wonder why
Shouldn't try
Shouldn't think
Never think

Time comes crashing in
Time just rubs it in
With a grin
And a wave

Time
Stronger than
Peter Pan
Broke again
Leave it then
Leave it there
Shouldn't care

Time comes rolling in
Time ignores the din
Simpleton
Little slave

Time
Time
Time has the time
Bought the store
To the floor
Give it more
Give it more
Either or
Do adore

Time
Stronger than
Any plan
Broken heart
Token art
Walk away
Walk away

Time comes crashing in
Time just rubs it in
With a grin
And a wave

stronger than - frankie big face

i want to be stronger than you
i want to be stronger than me
i want to be stronger than everything

i want to kill my computer
i want to live by candlelight
i want to be stronger than technology

i want to tell a thousand truths
i want to lie without guilt
i want to be stronger than hypocrisy

i want to reign down on Hitler
i want to stop Kennedy
i want to be stronger than history

i want to shake the hand of Judas
i want to lend a hand to Job
i want to be stronger than Christianity

wading across the Ganges on my knees
i can see the forest for the trees
be a single stone in the wall
or the mortar that holds it all
either/or i'm just a blip on a screen
either/or i'm just an in-between

i want to be stronger than you
i want to be stronger than me
i want to be stronger than everything

but i'll never be stronger than you
i'll never be stronger than you
so i'll never be stronger than anything

Stronger Than - Raised by Wolves

Is this thing on?
Okay. Here we go.

There's a car
Driving up the [something?] highway
60... 70 miles an hour
The wind is blowing
The sun's reflecting off the hubcaps
And inside this car
Is a celebrity
You'd know his name if I told you
And he is waving like he's on television

And you are strong
And I am strong
We are strong
But he is stronger than us

And the car is going faster and faster
70, 80 miles an hour
Careening through the winding road
And glued onto the dashboard is St. Jude
And all the speed is making St. Jude queasy
St. Jude is turning green, as St. Jude is wont to do

St. Jude is strong
You are strong
I am strong
But he is stronger than us

You are strong
And I am strong
Together we are strong
But he is stronger than us

It is possible to be invincible
If enough people read about you
Know your name
Wave to you
Then you're invincible
Nothing can touch you
You can fly
The celebrity is flying
As his car breaks through the guardrail
Flips over into the Pacific Ocean
Down, down
With the mermaids and the singing fish
And he is flying
Over the water
Into the clouds
Up to God
He is flying
Because he can

And you are strong
And I am strong
But he is stronger than us

You are strong
And I am strong
Together, we're strong
But he is stronger than us

We are strong
We are strong
We are strong
