Delta 5 - "Train Song"

every time a song that fits this description comes up during random mp3 playing I end up back at this thread ...

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Friday, 31 March 2006 13:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Of all these songs, "Batdance" is the only one I've heard that fits the criteria of the question. It's not songs that say "stop" in them, but actually end with the word "stop" - right?

HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahAHAHAHAH BATMANstop.

all you've proved justin is 1) you didn't read the initial post, and 2) you haven't heard any of these songs beyond Batdance.

But each time I try on the thought of leaving you,
I stop.

Jake Bugg - "There Is a Beast and We All Feed It"

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty
And they all feed it

Stop
Moment, try to freeze it
They find and they don't seek it
At the bar but they can't meet it
Try their best but they can't beat it
Nice car, somebody keys it
