Cool Lyrics the 2nd

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

although things like this make me sick, in a case like this I'll get away with it.

[Fellfrosch]

I found it hard;
It's hard to find.
Oh well, whatever--
Nevermind.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love an emotion
You've got me suspended motion
-less in time.

[Chimera]

Run through the cold of the night
As passion burns in your heart
Ready to fight, a knife held close by your side
Like a proud wolf alone in the dark
With eyes that watch the world
And my name like a shadow
On the face of the moon

Broken mirror, a million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer
And then, we can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world

Cold fire clenched to my heart
In the blue of night
Torn by this pain, I paint your name in sound
And the girl of the dawn with eyes of blue, and angel wings
The songs of the season are her only crown

Broken mirror, a million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer
And then, we can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world

We met in the mist of morning
And parted deep in the night
Broken sword and shield, and tears that never fall
But run through the heart
Washed away by the darkest water
The world is peaceful and still

Broken mirror, a million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer
And then, we can run to the end of the world
We can run to the end of the world

The scary thing is thats video game music.

The scarier thing is I've heard of it.

The scariest thing is I'm listening to eighties music. I'll spare you the cool lyrics...

[Chimera]

The scary thing is thats video game music.

I know. EUOL has converted me to OCRs and Video Game music--practically full geekdom.

[JP Dogberry]

EUOL is an OCRer??!?!??!

See, I've been on the site since it was orange and had DJ Pretzels head on the top. I downloaded EVERY MIX on the site. On Dialup.

[Master Gopher]

On DIAL-UP??

*Passes Out*
*And Again*

[JP Dogberry]

What do you think I was doing for those three years at BDC? Hanging out after school with friends?

It wasn't just dialup, it was dialup on a crappy winmodem.

[Peter Ahlstrom]

uhh...

Optical Character Recognition?

[Chimera]

I actually don't know what OCR stands for--only that it refers to remixes of music from videogames. They are free, so EUOL has downloaded a ton of them and then gave them to me. What OCR exactly stands for, and why, will have to be explained to you by someone more knowledgeable, like JamPaladin or EUOL.

[JP Dogberry]

OCR = OverClocked ReMix

A site that grew out of a comic about emulation written by David "DJ Pretzel" Lloyd" in order to increase and regularly practice his music skills. Though Video Game Music ReMixing sites existed, such as www.kwed.org, OCR was the first to feature and accept music of all genre, not just techno, and from all systems past and present, not just C64.

Since that time several years ago, OCR has gone through around three site redesigns, the creation of a judges panel to accept or reject various mixes, an accepted amount of mixes over 1500 now, (albeit not quite since some were removed), a huge community growth, and a restatement of the sites mission statement, changing the focus of the site from remakes to reintepretation, a move which split the community in two, and ended up with www.vgmix.com forming and eventually also redesigning.

Today, there's the site, the forums, an official podcast and a huge community. OCR doesn't mean video game music remix, but any song bearing the OCR title has been accepted on this particular site, kinda a guaranteee of quality.

[Mr_Pleasington]

hen you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
and how you built a tower tumbling thru the trees
in holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
and your mom would stick a fork right into daddys shoulder and your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor as we would lay and learn what each others bodies were for

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Do some people wind up with the one that they adore
In a heart-shaped hotel room it?s what a heart is for
The bubble floats so madly will it stay sky-high?
Hello partner, kiss your name bye-bye

Ooh sometimes...

Romantic piscean seeks angel in disguise
Chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes
Liverpudlian lady, sophisticated male
Hello partner, tell me love can?t fail

& it?s you and me in the summertime
We?ll be hand in hand down in the park
With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye
& all the sunshine banishes the dark

Do some people wind up with the one that they abhor
In a distant hell-hole room, the third world war
But all I see is films where colourless despair
Meant angry young men with immaculate hair

Ooh sometimes...

Get up a voice inside says there?s no time for looking down
Only a pound a word & you?re talking to the town
But how do you coin the phrase though that will set your soul apart
Just to touch a lonely heart

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

by three a.m. all the morning birds will be crying
and that old highway will be sighing
and my dreams feel as cold as my bones on the long walk home.
And my coat is old and growin thin
and my feet are numb and stumbling
and its many the thought of a long lost friend that comes to me again and again.
And I want to thank my Sarah Bell who blessed me more than words can tell and who picked me straight up out of hell,
and I miss her real bad but I love her well.
And I remember Don Clancy as a wild young man,
but I haven't seen hide nor hair of him since he lost his mind and was born again off the coast of Oregon.

Oh where are you now, oh where are you now and do you even think of me?
I'm telling you now,
you are the stars that I'll follow endlessly, endlessly, endlessly, oh....well,
I'm singin this song but it won't take long.
On these frozen streets I'm half way home and the sky above me forms a beautiful dome, of blue and pink and starry gold.
