Nur Ein V - Not In This Lifetime
Not In This Lifetime
by Boop Boop
Time is a dick and it knows how to fuck you
Sloth is a bitch that can slowly corrupt you
And you're walking on down the red carpet
But look down: you're stuck in a tar pit
Making your lists
You were checking them twice
But the reaper's got grip
And you're stuck in his vice
You can't do it all!
(Not in this lifetime)
No you can't be a butcher
You can't be a baker
And expect to excel as a candlestick maker
And the hour glass will take your erection
But some things still have room for perfection
Pick a few dreams
Throw the others away
You've got so many years
You've got so many days
You can't do it all!
(Not in this lifetime)
We are letting things go
We are trimming it down
We are honing it in
It's the truth we have found!
You can't do it all!

Re: Nur Ein V - Not In This Lifetime
I don't normally go for lyrics with that much obscenity, but those are pretty tight, Boop Boop.
Here's what I'm bringing to the table:
Not in This Lifetime
by Jon Eric
Don't even say you're thinking
Don't try to stall
I've heard that song and dance before
You say you want to help me
And you're sincere
But in your heart you know it's war
I may have been that way when I was seventeen
But not when I was twenty-three
If not in that lifetime, then maybe in the next
If not in this lifetime, then When?
You used to seem to like me
I liked you too
You smiled when you met my eye
You've made it seem as though I've
Become a chore
And I would hate to waste your time
(chorus)
In my head it's just a party
That gets more ugly as it goes
The hosts are dumping out the punch bowl
and kicking out the guests in droves
The wind is howling at us
This rain is fierce
The flag is wrapped around its pole
We're in the middle of it
And now we wait
For this waiting game to take its toll
(chorus)

Not In This Lifetime
by Sid Denison and The Harpooners,
featuring Very Special Guest Mr Rabid Garfunkel.
Life is too short to bend over
and let The Man lead you around by the balls
Don't try to give me these rules and this crap
I just don't give a rat's arse at all
Just jam that shit right up your arse, mate
Jam that shit right up your arse
Jam it all right up your arse
Right up your big fat fucking arse
I do what I want to do
And I do it when I want to do it
If you want to do other shit
That’s your problem, that’s fine
But don’t you try to make me do
That other shit you want to do
Cos’ I don’t want to do that shit
Fuck off
Not in this lifetime
Harmonica!
I do what I want to do
And I do it when I want to do it
If you want to do other shit
That’s your problem, that’s fine
But don’t you try to make me do
That other shit you want to do
Cos’ I don’t want to do that shit
Fuck off

Re: Nur Ein V - Not In This Lifetime
everybody's looking for
someone else
they don't wanna walk alone
all by themselves
I'm reaching out
can't help myself
can you reach back
you're gone so fast
cause I know this life
isn't my life
and we were dealt a good hand
I look at my life
you were my wife
and I was your special man.
and now I'm feeling down
you're not around
no calls on my phone
nobody's home
I'm reaching out
can't help myself
can you reach back
you're gone so fast
cause I know this life
isn't my life
and we were dealt a good hand
I look at my life
you were my wife
and I was your special man.

Re: Nur Ein V - Not In This Lifetime
Face to face
If you could get next to me
That's all that we'd ever be
And that's enough for me
But second place
Doesn't really appeal to me
That's all I can ever be
And that's not enough
Not in this lifetime
Not in this way
If I'm not having a good time
Then I'll walk away
Not in this lifetime
Not in this way
If you throw me a lifeline
I might stay
Talk the talk
If I could get closer to you
That's all I would ever do
That'd be just fine
Walk the walk
I'm bringing this home again
I'm coming home to a friend
And that's not enough
We try and try again
But it only drags us down
How can we bring back
Something we never found
Not in this lifetime
Not in this way
If you throw me a lifeline
Then I might stay
Not in this lifetime
Not in this way
I'm not having a good time
So I'll walk away
If you could get next to me
That's all that we'd ever be
And that's enough for me

Not In This Lifetime
By Billy's Little Trip
Steve Durand on Sax
I see her coming for me
just as plain as day
But I let it happen anyway
Yeah
I let it happen anyway
It's too late now
I see the fire in her eyes
Dirty south is on the rise
She's lickin' her lips, and swaying her hips
Oh that sexy body
Nothin' but a pack of lies
I must admit
I like-a me-a dirty girl
Like to open up a clam,
and find the magic pearl
Yeah I know someday
I'm gonna have regrets
Someday, but not today
I'm gonna have to pay
Drawn in like a moth to the flame
She be catchin' me up in her evil game
God's curse on an honest man
But the devil's gift, for your soul to claim.
Not in this lifetime
What you see ain't what you get

Who Fly (Featuring Sidechain Compression!)
If you
Believe
In second chances
We can end
and draw no line
Despite
this missed
connection
We will try
Again sometime
When tide goes out and in again
We end up stuck in new pools, swimmin
With the same fishes
Different chemestry,
If the next wave's right,
Then that's meant to be
Resist
The call
of overstatement
Always
Is only
For now
It's the future
and it's ancient
This will all come around

Gather ‘round, my children
I’ve something to say
You all know Doc Flanagan
Well, I saw him today
I know you’ve been praying
But the news is not good
The cancer is spreading
Like he told us it would
So I’ll never play mandolin
For I’ll never learn how
Not in this lifetime
Now
James, you’re the oldest
You should take this today
It’s my father’s old mandolin
That he couldn’t play
But there was food on the table
And I’ll not forget
He said, “Know that I’m dying
Without one regret
“And I’ll never play mandolin
For I’ll never learn how
Not in this lifetime
Now”
Your sweet mother Mary
Was taken too soon
It hurts like it was yesterday
Not six years come June
So, children, don’t cry for me
I need you to know
If Mary is waiting there
I’m ready to go
And I’ll play her the mandolin
If God shows me how
In my next lifetime

Not In This Lifetime
Chris Cogott
Eyes closed
Many thoughts go racing through your head
Sometimes you wish that this was just a dream
You have this dark cloud that follows you around
I'm telling you it's not as dark as it seems
Can't give up on what you started
Don't let this slip away
In your darkest hour as you cry in your room
What's it gonna take to survive
It's up to you don't let the days pass you by
We have a lifetime and I need you by my side
But not in this lifetime, oh no
Don't want to see you in any pain
Not in this lifetime, not in this lifetime
You think you're running out of time but that's not true
There's many places that we need to explore
Now take my hand hold on tight and open up your mind
Lose that cloud leave it all behind
'Cause not in this lifetime, Oh no
Don't want to see you get hurt again,
Not in this lifetime, not in this lifetime
Not in this lifetime (don't want to see you)
Not in this lifetime (in any pain)
Not in this lifetime (don't want see you)
Not in this lifetime (get hurt again)
(don't want to see you in any pain)
(don't want to see you get hurt again)

Re: Nur Ein V - Not In This Lifetime
Not in this Lifetime
I've had a series of misfortunes
Since my leg was shot in Kabul
I got strung out on all the morphine
now I'm drowning in dark pool
I lost my job and I can't walk
Is this the worst that life can get?
Sorry to stop you I won't take that much time
I wanted to ask you for a nickel or a dime.
Then without pausing you look away and say,
"NOT IN THIS LIFETIME"
It wasn't long til I was homeless
Kicked me out on Veteran's Day
I hitched my way to San Francisco
Where all the garbage is gourmet
I've been beat, live on the streets
My soul is lost and feeling hopeless
Sorry to stop you I won't take that much time
I wanted to ask you for a nickel or a dime.
Then without pausing you look away and say,
"NOT IN THIS LIFETIME"
People walk right past me
Won't even look in my direction
I'm disrespected because I'm dirty
no one remembers I'm a veteran
I'm getting by, most of the time
am I the victim of a war crime?
