Nur Ein VIII - Down To Under

Post by Caravan Ray »

Down To Under
by The Tydon Docks


I go down, down, down to under
Under the streetlight on the corner
That's where I know I'll find a lady
And I give her $20
And she goes down, down, down to under
Under my tattoo of Dennis Hopper
That's where she knows she'll find my chopper
Climb on baby let's ride

I got a motorbike but I never ride it
I haven't seen the sun in 7 years
I like to stay at home and catalogue all my black t-shirts
and research recipes for Elvish beer
I got a leather jacket
I think Ozzie is great
And I live right next door to The Beast at number 668
But I can't get a girlfriend
No, I haven't got a girlfriend
I love Marshall stacks
And Satan
But nobody loves me

So,
I go down, down, down to under
Under the streetlight on the corner
That's where I know I'll find a lady
Give her $20
And she goes down, down, down to under
Under my tattoo of Dennis Hopper
That's where she knows she'll find my chopper
Climb on baby let's ride

You missed out your third verse, Ray. Here it is -

"She goes down
She goes down, down, down to under
Under my tattoo , gives my Dennis a kiss
Gets a fatal faceful of my syphilis
She's going down
to under the ground."

Down To Under
by Sky Pup

rotting dead beneath the water
rotting flesh beneath the sea
wrap their hands
around my throat
drag me down
down to under

dead want you to join them
dead want you to see
see the light
then see no more
drag me down
down to under

drag me down
down to under
a sea of dead

Down To Under (Up to Over!!)
by Chokehold Princess

The hammer swings down again
There's a cut to a blade with a luminous sheen
She's begging, the blood begins
And the camera captures it eloquently
Everybody's rootin' for the under down
I'm so tired of rootin' for the under down

Today I'm taking one back for the sunlight
Today I'm taking one back for the sun


A desolate field I'm in
And I look for help but there's no one around
I'm shoveling dirt again
Dig a hole deep enough and I'll lower her down
Soon as she's settled in
I will water her roots so they'll grow in the ground
I'm so tired of rootin' for the under down

Today I'm taking one back for the sunlight
Today I'm taking one back for the sun

And my caped crusaders feel criminals' pain
And won't forget they have flow in their veins
The blood that's spilled's but a camera frame
And the reel runs out and on

Today I'm taking one back for the sunlight
Today I'm taking one back for the sun

Down To Under - Paco del Stinko

Your back is on the dirt
You know nothing but hurt
Hear the worms at your feet
Feel the maggots as they start to eat

It's down to under - Eternal cold
You're torn asunder - Infernal soul


Your skin blisters in the sun
You can't scream you have no tongue
You can't move and you can't cry
Call of the crows to eat your eyes

It's down to under - Eternal cold
You're torn asunder - Infernal soul


It is too late nothing can save you
Your reckless life it has betrayed you
You wish that you could start again
But you can't my friend this is the end


All is black you are at peace
You thank God for your release
But what's that sound coming near
It's Satan's laughter that you hear

It's down to under - Eternal cold
You're torn asunder - Infernal soul
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Down to Under (Carlo Bruno Jr.)

Because a new technology - Down to Under
I don't need you no more - DTU
I have no batteries for you - DTU
Setup yourself for your last use - DTU

Open the box, assemble my robot, my new robot - DTU

Despite the way you look at me - DTU
You have no opportunity - DTU
Your metal skin, your yellow leds - DTU
Are boring me. I'm hating you - DTU

Open the box, assemble my robot, my new robot
Then prepare to turn you off.

We spent good times together
You were my future in the past
You were my pilot, my mirror.

Because you're not my father
I'm downgrading you to under

To under

Balance Lost

I came down to undermine you
And now may I remind you
What I said I'd do this time
Take for free what isn't mine
Give me bites or you can scratch
Just one thing though there's a catch
You ain't walking out of here
Until your sweat's been mixed with tears

Tied up! Choke down!
What I said I'd do this time
Tied up! Choke down!
What I said I'd do this time

I came down to undermine
Your reputation's on the line
I'll give a different kind of pain
They'll never look at you the same way twice

Tied up! Choke down!
What I said I'd do this time
Tied up! Choke down!
What I said I'd do this time

Tropic of Capricorn in black and white is realised
Kisses scrawled on stained glass windows behind your eyes
Drink the acid
Mirrored splinters
On the tile floor
Never going
Home together
Twenty footsteps
Keep the front door
Bolted down

i'm going under
into the ground

the siren calls
and i am bound

i feel the hunger
it's tasting sweet

i can't resist
it's chasing me

oooh i'm trading my life
oooh such a lovely knife
oooh i won't be sleeping tonight

back to a place where i swore i'd never be
i've fallen victim to my selfish misery

(MINI SOLO OF AWESOMENESS)

i leave in mourning
to find the light

the wind is loud
the sun is bright

i'm headed somewhere
beyond this hell

is it my home?
or just a shell?

back to a place where i swore i'd never be
i've fallen victim to my selfish misery

(AWESOME SOLO OF AWESOMENESS)

oooh i'm trading my life
oooh such a lovely knife
oooh i won't be sleeping tonight

back to a place where i swore i'd never be
i've fallen victim to my selfish misery

i swore an oath i would never do this again
temptation has broke my will to win
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

Down to Under- Cavedwellers
lyrics by Escandon
music by Escandon/Phillips


Verse 1
Why is it so?
It's down to underestimating
Your ancient foe
You really should know better
Why must it be?
It's down to understanding nothing
Of the degree
To which we all neglect her

Chorus1
It's down to being an island in the vastness
It's down to being too small to be seen
It's down to underwhelming in the last sense
It's Dantooine

Verse 2
Why Alderaan?
It’s down to understanding
Dantooine’s undermanned
No more a standard-bearer
Why such a plan?
It’s down to undermining
Confidence in your clan
You reason not with terror

Chorus2
It’s down to knowing where the world is watching
It’s down to being so close at hand
It’s down to showing that your fate is knocking
It’s Alderaan

Chorus 3
It's down to being an island in the blackness
It's down to being too far to be seen
It's down to underwhelming at your last breath
It's Dantooine

Down to Under - Frankie Big Face

I don’t know even where to begin
Government scientists took me in
Took me underground—subterranean!
Put a circuit board just under my skin

Look in the mirror what do I see?
Another man’s eyes looking back at me!
Try to make a move to set myself free
Another man’s voice tells me who I should be!
(And I wanna be free)

Down from under
Lightning meets thunder
Penetrates my thoughts
Turns me into something that I’m not

Down to under
Help me get back
Down to under

Gotta slow down gotta put on the breaks
Gotta find the will to fix my mistakes
Gotta give more than the master takes
Gotta find this place for humanity’s sake
(Our lives are at stake)

Down from under
Lightning meets thunder
Penetrates my thoughts
Turns me into something that I’m not

Down to under
Help me get back
Down to under
I’ve got to get back
Down to under

Down to Under
by WreckdoM

How did I get to be so sensitive?
I'm always crying at my daytime shows.
How could that lady cheat on him?
Didn't she see how lucky she was?
Sara Mclaughlin sings about kittens
and There goes another tear in my eye.
Why can't I get into ultimate fighting?
Why can't I give a decent high-five?

Down to under my childhood.
Glee club, dungeons and dragons.
Collecting all the action figures.
Never grew out of my radio wagon.

Why do I find strip clubs offensive?
I can't give in to my basest thoughts.
Always trying to be reasonable,
but Am I truly better off?
If someone's rude I let it slide.
I can't remember how to throw a punch.
Do I still have a violent side?
I sure do like watching things blow up.

Down to under my moral code,
Inherited from my old man.
Taught me when to stand my ground,
And when to shrug it off.

Confidence, Virility, Leadership, Alienation, Isolation, Anger, Paranoia, Anti Social Behavior

It's in my nature to take things easy.
Could I change if I really tried?
What if I took kick boxing lessons,
Learn to keep things bottled up inside?
Maybe I'll buy a motorcycle,
Take up smoking and learn to sneer.
Could a fella learn machismo
If he drinks enough cheap beer?

Down to under my outlook.
Nothings worth getting pissed off.
Sometimes this cruel world tells you
"Turn your head, and cough"
"perhaps the most offensive and disturbing image I've ever heard in a song" - Hans Gruber

Down To Under
by Merisan

One more taste
she plays it off
and twists her face
into a painted smile

Hides behind
her made up stories
tries to find
a way to tell the truth

Empty spaces never filled
silent hatred waiting for the kill
raging thunder trapped inside
ripping down to underneath the lies

Consuming
everything she loves
a burning room
with a bolted door

Can’t bear the weight
monkey on her back
Incinerate
the pain that drives her on

Empty spaces never filled
silent hatred waiting for the kill
raging thunder trapped inside
ripping down to underneath the lies

(way too many guitar solos)

Empty spaces never filled
silent hatred waiting for the kill
raging thunder trapped inside
ripping down to underneath the lies

I don't know what you like
I don't know what you want
Used to say there's steel in my spine
Now I don't think there's enough

I can't seem to hear
I can't seem to see
My arms and legs in irons
And my body floating free

Out and over, under to down
Try to sink slower, blink and you drown

I burnt my bridges bright
I kept my head down low
Kept my pride where all could see
My shame where none would know

Sighted land, down to under
Foiled plans, rolling thunder

Out and over, under to down
Try to sink slower, blink and you drown

Down to under, under to down
Down to under, under to down

Down to Under
by Ross Durand
solo performed by Steve Durand

Well you put us in a line and you send us down a hole
For a dollar a day you take our soul
Bring a hundred pounds of ore out of there in a sack
When you send us back down you know we might not come back

I'm going down to under the ground
Gotta dig up what you found
I'm going down to under
Just another piece of the machine you're building
I'm going down to under the ground
Gotta dig up what you found
I'm going down to under
Just another cog in the machine you're building

Well you put it in your phones and your satellites
I'm just trying to stay alive
when everything out of this hole is gone
You just put us in a line and send us down another one

I'm going down to under the ground
Gotta dig up what you found
I'm going down to under
Just another piece of the machine you're building
I'm going down to under the ground
Gotta dig up what you found
I'm going down to under
Just another cog in the machine you're building

I-75 down to Tennessee
Subterranean world of primal mystery
I got bit by a love of the deep
Had to take the guided tour, herded like sheep

Down to Under [x4]

Brilliant Water hidden pools
Princess tried to hide from a jealous fool
Climb and crawl, swim and dive
Legend says she didn't come out alive

Hiking in the crater to Holua Tube
Hippies trashed the place so the ladder's removed
Flashlights flickering, batteries dim
We climbed out where the ceiling caved in
