Nur Ein V - Stranded

Post by Caravan Ray »

Stranded
Sid Denison and the Harpooners

A furore normannorum libera nos domine

Pull away, pull away
To the south, we pull away
From the fire we pull away
From the black clouds we pull away

We hear the trolls of the Jotunheim
Thor begins to swing his hammer
We hear Odin calling us away

Blood will run in the halls of Valhalla tonight
Heimdall and Loki will fight to the death tonight

Pull away, pull away
To the south, we pull away
From the fire we pull away
From the black clouds we pull away

Earth is shaking sky is burning
Gods are warring earth is dying
We must flee lest we be stranded
Flee the smoke and ash and thunder

To the south the south forever
Freyr is lost and gone forever
Set our sail for Lindisfarne
Pray their Cross spares us from harm

We are Lif and Lifthrasir
We must search for Hodmimir
The time of Ragnarok is here

Stranded by Johnny Cashpoint
(redacted version)

Stranded, stranded, stranded - one sad terrorist
Stranded, stranded, stranded - by invisible mist
Scowling up at empty skies
Can’t blow up what doesn’t fly
Ash-cloud has a silver lining after all

Stranded, stranded, stranded – volcano erupted
Stranded, stranded, stranded – evil plans disrupted
Bomb’s still underneath his clothes,
Half an hour until he blows,
Taking out men’s toilets at Heathrow

(whispered) Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock

CAA took his moment away - his glory’s
Postponed by a flight delay
Act of God explodes the bogs, what are a
Terrorist’s rights for cancelled flights?

stranded
by noah mclaughlin

i am stranded in my room
with this illness, i am marooned
i made a voyage to the sea
but the wise men there could not heal me

this thing, it haunts me my waking hours
with murd'rous nightmares my nights devour
what is this sickness from the great beyond
it spreads its wings when the end has dawned

i'll burn this madness
i'll burn it down
i'll burn this madness
down to the ground

j'ai fait naufrage dans ma chambre
avec cette maladie, mes jours sombrent
traverse la Normandie pour me guérir
mais sur l'ilôt les moines ne peuvent y parvenir

je laisse de l'eau la nuit, je laisse du vin
mais ce dieu ne s'apaise point - c'est la fin
j'ai rien touché, moi - tout est disparu
c'est plus fort que moi - comment je suis fou

je brûle cette folie
dans une fournaise
je brûle cette folie
dans une fournaise

Soudain un volcan de flammes jaillit jusqu'au ciel. Par toutes les fenêtres ouvertes sur la fournaise, je voyais la cuve de feu, et je pensais qu'il était là, dans ce four, mort...

— Mort ? N'était-il pas indestructible par les moyens qui tuent les nôtres ?

Après l'homme le Horla.

Non... non... sans aucun doute, sans aucun doute... il n'est pas mort... Alors... alors... il va donc falloir que je me tue moi !...
- from Maupassant's short story "Le Horla"

Varado
(Stranded on the Island of the Clam)
by Boop Boop

mi barco se estrelló en el océano
estaba en una playa
pensé que era solo
era feliz porque no tengo gusto de la conversación
oí! una voz.
"hola mi amigo"

varado en la isla de la almeja
la isla de la almeja
donde estoy desgraciado
si tenía pote, si tenía fuego
almeja sería muerto

después de 40 días me rescataron
estaba libre pero era incorrecto
estaba en una barra en Tokio con una prostitute hermosa
oí! una voz.
"hola mi amigo"

varado en la isla de la almeja
la isla de la almeja
donde estoy desgraciado
si tenía pote, si tenía fuego
almeja sería muerto

tengo tan muchos sueños: Tokio, Los Ángeles, y la luna. pero cuando me despierto todavía están en la playa con la almeja.

*******
My ship wrecked on the ocean
I was on the beach
I thought I was alone
I was happy because I didn't want to talk with anyone
Suddenly, I heard a voice
"hola mi amigo"

Stranded on the Island of the Clam
the Clam...where I am miserable
If I had a pot, if I had a fire
The Clam would be dead


After 40 days I was rescued
I was free! (But I was wrong)
I was in a bar in Tokyo with a beautiful prostitute
Suddenly, I heard a voice:
"hola mi amigo"

Stranded on the Island of the Clam
the Clam...where I am miserable
If I had a pot, if I had a fire
The Clam would be dead


I have many dreams: Tokyo, Los Angeles, and the moon. But when I wake up I am always at the beach with the Clam.

Stranded: By Therman

face is down, eyes are heavy
and she's holding a phone
others frown but they envy
such a loss of control
everybody is leaving
now she's sitting alone
got that late night feeling
got to find a way home

four feet stranded indoors abandoned

You feel there's no one for you
but I love your eyes
a gateway inside
And all I do is hold you
for the first last time
take what is mine

I'm approached and we sit down
and I wanted to show that
I don't know how to get down
but she already knows that
and it's perfect for hours
others stuck in their cars now
got that late night feeling
dancing like we were stars

four feet stranded indoors abandoned

(bridge)

indoors abandoned

You feel there's no one for you
but I love your eyes
a gateway inside
And all I do is hold you
for the first last time
take what is mine

(solo)

four feet stranded indoors abandoned

You feel there's no one for you
but I love your eyes
a gateway inside
And all I do is hold you
for the first last time
take what is mine

face is down, eyes are heavy
and I'm holding my phone
got a name and a number
and I'm good to go home

VERSE 1 (Am-Bbsus7open-Am-Bsus x2)

where you're going
when you want to be alone

the place, it takes you
where you want it to,
even if you don't know

CHORUS (C-Am-Em-F-Fm) x2
I wanna be stranded,
so stranded,
like you wouldn't believe

Stranded
Rabid Garfunkel

(italics indicate where the whispering is hidden, yo... and if it's too subtle in the mix, well, the whispered line is "I love you".)

You move through the world
Like a tigress among sheep
The wood that I wander is dark and deep
Just one thing haunts me as I lay me to sleep
The thought of losing you

No matter where you are
No matter what you do
I'm happily stranded
On the isle of you

You've got your past
I've got mine too
Exes and zeroes behind us, it's true
There's nothing I'd change that brought me to you
My wife, my life, my love

Like a sailor lost in the fog
Your light guides me to shore
Whatever I ask for, you still give me more
I marvel in wonder how much I adore

No matter where you are
No matter what you do
I'm happily stranded
On the isle of you

Stranded
by Naked Philosophy


(Midnight)
This is already a bad idea
How will I make it through?
24 hours in this retail hell
What am I gonna do?

(9 A.M.)
Wandering around for hours
And I feel a little sick
I think I'm hearing voices again
Or is it another trick?

Stranded in Wal-Mart
Self imposed prison term
I already know everything
But I've got a lot to learn

(2 P.M.)
Another fast food meal
And I'm high on a chocolate shake
I am never coming down
I've got to stay awake

(9 P.M.)
Where did the last two hours go?
I don't recall a thing
Is that guy looking at me funny?
How dare he disrespect the King (of Wal-Mart)

Stranded in Wal-Mart
Self imposed prison term
I already know everything
But I've got a lot to learn

(We're rolling back prices every day)
(I've got to help these people)
(Welcome to Wal-Mart)
(I've got to help these people)
(We need a clean up on aisle 36)
(I need an associate in housewares)
(I've got to hurt these people)
(Welcome to Wal-Mart)
(I've got to h- help these people)
(Now we're open 24 hours)
(I've got to kill these people)
(Welcome to Wal-Mart)
(I've got to kill these people)
(Save Money. Live Better.)

(Midnight)
This is still a bad idea
The blood is on my hands
24 hours in this retail hell
Was more than I could stand

Stranded
Chris Cogott

go back to sleep....I'll be home soon
I'm stranded but I'm not alone
I got you in my heart
Even though we're worlds apart
I'm stranded and I'm on my own
I'll see you when the week is through
That's when you know I'm coming home to you

I don't like it when I have to leave
The weekends go too fast
You and me we gotta make it last
And then I'm out the door
Driving down the dark and cold lonely road
With the moonlight as my guide

I'm stranded but I'm not alone
I got you in my heart
Even though we're worlds apart
I'm stranded and I'm on my own now
I'll see you when the week is through
That's when you know I'm coming home to you

Fifty two times a year I leave you
That's fifty two more times to say hello

Next time won't you come with me
Cause Friday's are too long away
As I fade into eternity

I'm stranded but I'm not alone
I got you in my heart
Even though we're worlds apart
I'm stranded and I'm on my own now
I'll see you when the week is through
That's when you know I'm coming home to you
wake up.....I'm home

Nur Ein V - Round 1: Stranded (Love Purgatory)

Post by mattb5 »

Stranded (Love Purgatory) - Bill Gliniecki & Matt Brodeur

VERSE 1: G D Am C D

I was your vehicle and you were my map
Then the breakdown hit with a thundering snap
You broke down on me and I shut down on you
And getting out of this place won't be so easy to do
We were playing "follow the leader" but neither one knew
Which one was the leader, or who was following who

CHORUS: C D G D/F# Em Am C Am C D G
It's obligatory to drink and tell your story
Even though it won't bring you no glory
When you're stranded in the middle of a love purgatory...

VERSE 2:
We weren't paying attention 'cause we were running late
When we had that big blowout up on the old interstate
The tires were fine, it was our minds that were blown
And when we hit that wall it was our hearts that got thrown.

CHORUS

Whispered: something blew under the hood
cut the brake line baby and land where we should


CHORUS

Whispered: its a better place to land than stranded

Ja wanna get stranded tonight with me
Down at the Tiki Bar
Every seat’s an ocean view
I’d love to be stranded with you tonight
Down at the Tiki Bar
Maybe steal a kiss or two


Some would say the open air
Clouds the passing time
I would think it’s not so much
As salt, then Cuervo, then lime

Tiki Bob’s behind the bar
Keeping the rest of us numb
He don’t think there’s much so bad
Can’t be cured by more rum

Chorus
Everybody’s feelin’ fine / Where the mai-tais flow like wine


Pete Fountain on the boombox
Wailing the clarinet
I been listening thirty years
Ain’t gotten tired of him yet

Tiki Bob’s behind the bar
One of my favorite fellas
Tiki Bob don’t fear a little rain
He got da little umbrellas

Chorus
Where the foo-foo drinks abound / We can lounge on hallowed ground


Instrumentals

Chorus
If there’s nothing else to do / Maybe steal a kiss or two

Likely miss this date again now won't you love
Nice to finally be reliant on someone
Nice to find you gave my time away my love
Tried to find the time to sail your wayward boat


Cavernous crawler
Who sleeps like you've beat all the dreams from your head
If commotion here
Cannot awake you then
Must we set fire to your bed?
The flames will
Burst and consume the sheets
Burn up the walls and
Reveal you've vanished
Left the house to fall down around us
left the tormentors feeling stranded.


Primed to throw a fist if you don't budge my love
Not because the pain I will inflict because
I know
You can only take it playfully my love
Cuz you will laugh it off and just ignore the blood.
(The above lyrics were whispered, kinda)

Minty Handy: Nur Ein V - Stranded

Post by MintyHandy »

Spell it out with stones and sticks and fire
And work to keep this warm
Drifting apart from our desire
Trying to make it through this storm

We have run aground on our own isle
It's no one else's fault
Everything we are is in denial
Grains of sand and grains of salt

We have been stranded here together one by one
Taken for granted in the harsh light of the sun
Now we have landed and we feel like sailing on
We've been stranded here for much too long

Footprints in the sand are all around us
and there's nowhere left to go
Each of us to blame for what will drown us
Sucked down in the undertow

Empty out a bottle with no message
to say that we're all done
or keep a dream alive, or keep it dry
and hope it rises with the sun

We have been stranded here together one by one
Taken for granted in the harsh light of the sun
Now we have landed and we feel like sailing on
We've been stranded here for much too long

Here's mine..

STRANDED
Slide over here
you look like you're not going anywhere for a while
It’s an understatement... that it’s cold in space
Besides your smile reminds me of the way
he used to smile
at me

You know I stare at the stars to pass the time,
I try to hitch rides..
maybe work my way back to earth to
divert the attention from the situation of mine
I bide my time, station-side
well I need a little distraction
from this heartbreak- plan my revenge games
..let me whisper a little irony in your ear

CH

I’m stranded / you left me stranded
All alone at the edge of space and disaster
you severed the wormhole that tied us together
put so many lightyears between you and me and forever
Now I’m stranded … I’m stranded
in time … and space
and time

Remember I didn’t even wanna come here
I like the earth on my feet, I like the breeze
whispering
I like the water rushing under me
It’s out here that I feel like I’m drowning
In a sea of uncertainty
and I’m not where I want to be

Remember that night, when you lied
were you just passing through while I planning our lives..
what’s the hell’s the matter with you?

You know I’ve waited for you for many triple moons
You don’t even remember what that means, do you?
I wish you could see how it’s been
here at the end of the universe waiting at some restaurant
staring at a check that’s never ever gonna get picked up
while you just blast off..
by yourself.. with who-knows-what
into oblivion!

CH …
While I’m stranded

Stranded
by The Real Sign

everybody backed me up
until I bled
it was then I made my bed
so many times I thought it was good
and it became a nightmare instead
of the dream I thought I had

I made it to my desert island
here I am
stranded

one day I got here
my scary place
looked down and looked around
nobody here that's gonna back down
so I burned
all the bridges to the ground

I made it to my desert island
here I am
stranded
it turns out I like it here
it's better to be
stranded

it was the voices that told me
to make this island mine
(go there)
whispering to me constantly
(do it)
they told me to burn all the bridges
(burn it all)
they told me things would be better here
(do it, burn it...)

I made it to my desert island
here I am
stranded
it turns out I like it here
it's better to be
stranded
in my head

Stranded
by billy's little trip

verse-
You don't want me, but you won't let me go
I'm trying to swim back to shore, while fighting the undertow
Clawing tooth and nail to the top, good intension faded
Waking up with nothing to do, ain't so complicated
Set me free

verse-
I don't need a Mercedes Benz or expensive wine
A shot of Jack as a matter of fact, will always do me just fine
So chase your pie in the sky and don't forget to write
Like a loyal dog, I'll be howling at the moon at night
Set me free

chorus-
Give us peace, love and rock
Sex and barbecue
We like the simple life
Give us peace, love and rock
Sex and barbecue
I'm just a simple guy
But I'm stranded
Yeah, I'm stranded
Set me free

verse-
You don't want me, but you won't let me go
I'm trying to swim back to shore, while fighting the undertow
A few shots of Jack or more, will always do me alright
Like a loyal dog, I'll be howling at the moon all night
Set me free

chorus-
Give us peace, love and rock
Sex and barbecue
We like the simple life
Give us peace, love and rock
Sex and barbecue
I'm just a simple guy
Give us peace, love and rock
Sex and barbecue
We like the simple life
Give us peace, love and rock
Sex and barbecue
I'm just a simple guy
But I'm stranded
Yeah, I'm stranded

Stranded
by Jon Eric

(various conversations, lunch-room gossip. Highlights include the phrase "Doesn't she get tired of being his dirty little secret?" and "How do you think she got the job, stupid?" Full transcript available upon request)

It only bothers you when you're alone
You know he's with his family at home
Brooding, you think he's thinking of you
You hesitate and then pick up the phone
It rings five times and then he says hello
In hushed tones, he tells you that you're through

(chorus)
Hey, how did you know
How to take her, how to break her with a smile?
Hey, how did you know
How to make her fell exactly like a child?
You like to tell yourself you set her free
When you left her lying, crying on the floor
But on the far bank of reality
She's never gonna love you anymore

She left her friends behind to be with him
But when she calls them now, there's no one in
They warned her, they said that she'd be sorry
The bed is warm, she's still in all her clothes
She doesn't set her clock because she knows
She won't be welcome at work tomorrow

(chorus)

You tell me that you love him
This much I understand
You swear again you love him
Like a cyclone loves the land
You love him like you're drowning
And he's a breath of air
You love him like you're stranded
And he's your signal flare

(I'll tell you a secret if you come in close...)

He never cared about you (x4)

(chorus)
'Cause you left her lying stranded on the shore
No one's ever gonna love you anymore
