Big Smo - Workin

[Chorus: Big Smo & Alexander King]
I woke up this mornin', tied my boots up
Cause I knew it's goin' to be a long day
Fired my truck up, grabbed my coffee
Kissed my baby, got on my way
Cause I'm workin' 'til it's hurtin'
That's the only way to make an honest day's pay
So I'm workin' even when it's hurtin'
That's the only way to make an honest day's wage

[Verse 1: Big Smo]
Yeah, I'm up early with the birdies, ready to get dirty
This ain't a song for you if you asleep at 7:30
I rise like the sun; I'm the bag of the pounds
A full throttle in the bottle like that home-made shine

I'm just tryin' to make a livin', boss man trippin'
My overtime's strong; I don't pay him no attention
Money in the mason jar, country boy pension
No lady, three kids, take a lot to fill the kitchen

Fingernails dirty, my back stay hurtin'
You can bet I got to play for every penny that I'm earnin'
I ain't askin' for a raise, but I know the boss heard me
Nobody on this job site's workin' like I'm workin'

[Pre-Chorus: Big Smo]
Thirty below to a hundred degrees
You ain't pushin' hard enough if your hands don't bleed
I'm the first to clock in and the last to leave
I ain't never had a problem rollin' up my sleeves

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Big Smo]
I'm out the door by the sun up, focused on the come-up
We never sleep in, that ain't how we was brought up
I push it to the limit when the money gets low
And been known to work past when the plant whistle blows

Pay check feelin' like a lottery ticket
I might save a couple bucks if my kids don't spend it
It don't matter cause I love it every day of my life
Spent more time on the clock than I do with my wife

State to state, never late, puttin' miles on the road
Drop it off, fill it up, get me to my next load
Call my old lady, let her know I'll be late
And I ain't worry cause I know that she goin' to save me a plate

I told you...

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge: Big Smo & Alexander King]
Workin', workin'

Workin', workin'

 

[OCDNihilism]

Never hunger
Never prosper
I have fallen prey to failure

Struggle within
Triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends

Twisting under schizophrenia
Falling deep into dementia

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Birth of terror
Death of much more
I'm the slave of fear, my captor

Never warnings
Spreading its wings
As I wait for the horror she brings

Loss of interest, question, wonder
Waves of fear they pull me under

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Into ruin
I am sinking
Hostage of this nameless feeling

Hell is set free
Flooded I'll be
Feel the undertow inside me

Height, hell, time, haste, terror, tension
Life, death, want, waste, mass depression

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Myself is after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

 

[ghosTea]

Such an amazing voice

My baby has a swollen face
Long stiff limbs
Them eyes are black pits
Of a place where I've been
Her hair is long
Still smells like mud
She answered to my kiss
With a rotten tongue
No death can
Tear us apart
Her body is cold
Well its gonna get colder
But my love will ignite
What was left to smoulder
I move my hips
In her I am home
I'll keep on loving
Till the marrow dries from her bones
No death
Can tear us apart
All day
I stay by her side
But death has a claim
And a right to my bride
I shut the doors
Pull the curtains and hide
I heard something moving
Somewhere outside
No death can
Tear us apart
But death comes a sneaking in
Trough the keyholes
He's clever and he knows
What's beneath the floorboards
Death comes to feast
Like a greedy hungry beast
He wants it all
And here he crawls
And here he crawls
And here he crawls

 

[forever_scarred]

Feels like your life is over,
Feels like no hope is gone,
You kiss it all away,
Maybe, maybe

This is a second coming,
This is a call to arms,
You'll find us now and we'll be,
Wasted, wasted

Hey, hey,
Hell is what you,
Make, make,
Rise against your,
Faith, faith,
Nothings gonna keep me down,
Even if it's killing you
Because you know the truth

Well listen up, listen up
There's a devil in the church,
Got a bullet in the chamber,
And this is gonna hurt
Let it out, let it out,
You can scream, and you can shout
Keep your secrets in the shadows,
And you'll be sorry

Everybody's getting numb (everybody's getting numb)
Everybody's on the run (everybody's on the run)

Listen up, listen up,
There's a devil in the church,
Got a bullet in the chamber,
And this is gonna hurt

You got your hell together
You know it could be worse
A self inflicted murder,
Maybe, maybe

You say it's all a crisis
You say it's all a blur
There comes a time you gotta,
Face it, face it

Hey, hey,
Hell is what you,
Make, make,
Rise against your,
Faith, faith,
Nothings gonna keep you down,
Even if it's killing you
Because you know the truth

Listen up, listen up,
There's a devil in the church
Got a bullet in the chamber,
And this is gonna hurt
Let it out, let it out
You can scream and you can shout
Keep your secrets in the shadows,
And you'll be sorry

Everybody's getting numb (everybody's getting numb)
Everybody's on the run (everybody's on the run)

Listen up, listen up,
There's a devil in the church
Got a bullet in the chamber,
And this is gonna hurt

This is gonna hurt

Listen up, listen up,
There's a devil in the church,
Got a bullet in the chamber,
And this is gonna hurt
Let it out, let it out
You can scream, you can shout
Keep your secrets in the shadows,
And you'll be sorry

Everybody's getting numb (everybody's getting numb)
Everybody's on the run (everybody's on the run)
And everybody's getting some (everybody's getting some)
Everybody's on the run

And this is gonna hurt
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
This is gonna hurt

 

[Reverend45]

Since I'm currently in love with this goddamn anime (one of the best in recent years imho) and both the opening and ending are stuck in my head, those are my songs of the day. first 2 vids are OP and ED including visuals, last 2 are the full songs.

Oh the anime in questions is Youjo Senki...or in english "The Saga of Tanya the Evil". Fitting...

Opening

Ending

Full OP

Full ED

 

[Snake on the Moon]

To me, this song feels like when I have a bad day and I choose to do something to feel better right then and there. Not letting circumstances stop me.

 

[Z.Hudson]

brings back memories.. not the good ones...

 

[WatchingPlanesFlyBy]

I looked into your eyes
They told me plenty
I already knew

You never felt a thing
So soon forgotten
All that you do
Is more than words
I tried to tell you
The more I tried I failed

I would not let myself believe that you might stray
And I would stand by you no matter what they'd say
I thought I'd be with you until my dying day

Until my dying day

I used to think my life
Was often empty
A lonely space to fill

You hurt me more than I ever could have imagined
You made my world stand still
And in that stillness
There was a freedom I never felt before

I would not let myself believe that you might stray
And I would stand by you no matter what they'd say
I thought I'd be with you until my dying
Day

Until my dying day

 

[Snake on the Moon]

I decided to come out of the fangirl closet today. This is the ending theme for an anime called Yuri!!! On Ice.

 

[Reverend45]

Had a feeling that you might like that one. I don't mind the yaoi part, but figure skating I just can't deal with^^ but from what I hear it's a good anime.

Today's song of the day....(because I'm feeling lonely as hell today)

Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow

The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Had a feeling that you might like that one. I don't mind the yaoi part, but figure skating I just can't deal with^^ but from what I hear it's a good anime.

What I like about it the most is that the main character is a professional figure skater, but he has no confidence in himself and his abilities so he always sucks at competitions. It's the idea of him overcoming his mental blocks and becoming one of the greatest the world has seen that I find really inspiring. I get the good feels when I think about it!

Oh Japan how you make me smile.

Oh Japan how you make me smile.

That Ladybeard guy came to a convention near me once. I was working at a booth so I didn't get to see the concert though.

Surprise Surprise, more Queen!

Why don't you take another little piece of my heart
Why don't you take it and break it
And tear it all apart
All I do is give
All you do is take
Baby why don't you give me
A brand new start

So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Let me live, oh baby
And make a brand new start

Why don't you take another little piece of my soul
Why don't you shape it and shake it
'Til you're really in control
All you do is take
And all I do is give
All that I'm asking
Is a chance to live

(So let me live) - so let me live
(Leave me alone) - let me live, let me live
Why don't you let me make a brand new start

And it's a long hard struggle
But you can always depend on me
And if you're ever in trouble - hey
You know where I will be

Why don't you take another little piece of my life
Why don't you twist it, and turn it
And cut it like a knife
All you do is live
All I do is die
Why can't we just be friends
Stop living a lie

So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Please let me live
(Why don't you live a little)
Oh yeah baby
(Why don't you give a little love...?)

Let me live
Please let me live
Oh yeah baby, let me live
And make a brand new start

Take a little piece of my heart now baby
Take a little piece of my heart now baby
Take a little piece of my soul now baby
Take a little piece of my life now baby
In your heart, oh baby
(Take another piece, take another piece)
Please let me live
(Take another piece, take another piece)
Why don't you take another piece
Take another little piece of my heart
Oh yeah baby
Make a brand new start
All you do is take
Let me live

 

[WatchingPlanesFlyBy]

And another! Sorry I'm on a Queen binge right now :rolleyes:

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long

I feel like no one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover and the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster 'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down

How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose?
No, there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all.
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
