A chain is a series of connected links which are typically made of metal. A chain may consist of two or more links.
Chains are usually made in one of two styles, according to their intended use:
Two distinct chains can be connected using a quick link which resembles a carabiner with a screw close rather than a latch.
Uses for chain include:
According to the "Complete Guide to Chain", the metal link chain was invented in 225 BC.
Nicholas Jerry "Nick" Jonas (born September 16, 1992) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and actor best known as one of the Jonas Brothers, a pop-rock band he formed with his brothers Joe and Kevin. The Jonas Brothers originally started as an attempted solo singing career for Nick, but the record producer liked the sound when his brothers sang backup for him. He previously starred in the Disney Channel original series JONAS L.A. as Nick Lucas, alongside his brothers. He also starred in the Disney Channel original movie Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. He formed the band Nick Jonas & The Administration, which released its first album in 2010.
Jonas's career started when he was discovered at the age of six in a barber shop, while his mother was getting her hair cut and was referred to a professional show business manager. At the age of 7, he began performing on Broadway. He had acted in several plays, including A Christmas Carol (in 2000 as Tiny Tim and Scrooge at eight), Annie Get Your Gun (in 2001 as Little Jake), Beauty and the Beast (in 2002 as Chip), and Les Misérables (in 2003 as Gavroche). After Les Misérables closed, he performed in The Sound of Music (as Kurt) at the Paper Mill Playhouse.
The Jesus and Mary Chain are a Scottish alternative rock band formed in East Kilbride, Glasgow in 1983. The band revolves around the songwriting partnership of brothers Jim and William Reid. They released a string of albums, singles and EPs between their 1983 formation and their 1999 breakup, and gained notoriety in their early days for short sets and violence that became common at their live shows. In 2007, the band reunited.
Brothers Jim and William Reid had been inspired to form a band as far back as 1977, having heard groups such as the Sex Pistols, but it would be the early Eighties before they actually formed their own. William stated, "It was perfect timing because there weren't any guitar bands. Everybody was making this electronic pop music." Before forming the band, the brothers had spent five years on the dole, and in those five years they wrote and recorded songs at home and worked out the sound and image of the band. Originally called The Poppy Seeds, and then Death of Joey, they initially told journalists that they had taken their eventual name from a line in a Bing Crosby film, although six months later they admitted that this wasn't true. Other accounts suggest that the name derived from an offer on a breakfast cereal packet, where customers could send off for a gold Jesus & Mary chain.
Assassination, stolen planes an', greed that always sets it off
Religious crimes, guided minds, bombs that drop don't land soft
Name your price and start whatever fight your looking for, it's at your door
Mass extinction, genocide we've all been guilty of these crimes
Domination liberates people are to blame reads a old cardboard sign
I want to look back and see weaker part of me and us better after all those years
None of that all of that can you hear that
All of it none of it learn to see that
Try to fly - broken wings - learn the hard way - suffering
Never try never learn never gonna be ready when it's your turn
Never see the warning signs - I've learned in my life
Never leave the past behind
Letting go - foolish pride - the help I need - denied
Turn away in the middle of a fight just in time
'cause you know that they were right - I've learned in my life
Never leave the past behind
Lines of The Prince and The Republic show warning signs of long ago
But who remembers to ask Plato.
Yeah, forget the books and history's waste
Full speed toward the next mistake
Panic cheers, jello, nikes, Heaven's Gate, comets won't outrun your fate
None of that all of that can you hear that
History wants a piece of you
All of it none of it learn to see that
History just repeats in you
Cultural jeans need a place to survive it's not just a fashion it's about staying alive
Remember your little eyes, little minds soaking knowledge from your fathers voice
Sitting smiling on your grandpa's lap resting on the wisdom that he had
Funny by thirteen you know it all savvy until you fall, just remember what made you trip
Next time how will you handle it
All I see each night in dreams
Is a beautiful illusion
A figment of my heart
Haunting me, so close but never there
But I can feel her
My secret counterpart
And she looks like you
That's all I know
How she got there
Really I don't care
Cause she looks like you
She looks like you
Now I see you in front of me
In a men's blue dress shirt and paris jeans
A charcoal coat in modern style
A whistful face and a secret smile
You're the one I see
You're the woman in my dreams
All I wanted deep within my soul
Was someone I could talk to
Someone I could hold
I knew that any day now
I lock away that familiar pain in a place so that it's safe and
I put on a face that misleads the ones close to me
Tucked inside treasures of mine sit patiently waiting for the perfect time
My selfish, my kind, my loves, my prides, my pensive side, my secrets rob the heart blind
Over there behind the door are things I love and fear and so much more
Tapping louder than before the more intense the more ignored
The grey is flooded often with those hauntings in percussion
My childish dreams and fantasies keep them under lock and key
Should I let them out to escape the sound?
Where am I gonna go
To flee my sanity
I'm always running
From all the things I keep
Inside
To leave my sanity
I always hiding
From everything in front of me
My Life
Is creeping up on me
I try to hide it from all my friends and family
But why
For all that I see
That beat's still coming through clearly
So tell me what should I do - would you let them out and let em' play through
The song of Lenore, the love and pain that keep my core
Hush, can you hear the pounding
If walls could talk and doors could speak of what they've seen inside of me tucked down deep in the corner of my memory -
Hush, can you hear them coming
Sick of running from the past I will reveal the truth at last to anyone who wants to know this is how my story goes...
Who was watching a wasp when I started thinking
Why can't I be the real me
Here are my faults, they come as I am breathing
Why can't I be the real me
You love what you don't know so now I am asking
Why can't you love - love the real me
I will try to set it free
Release the demons that I keep
It is time to turn the key
I bet you were right
With everything you wrote
And the essence of your words
Is what keeps a mind alive
There were gods and monks and bablefish
But in the end it's you and me
You chose the stars and scary creatures
To show us what we couldn't see
I thought that I knew
I thought I was on top of it all
And I hate that I now understand
That because you've gone away
I missed my
Last Chance to See
After seeing the world
You opened up my eyes
Made me ask where we come from
Gave more meaning to my life
It might be just a number
But now I'm closer to the question
And I will continue searching
For I already know the answer
I wanna understand
'Cause I thought I was on top of it all
But until now I did not comprehend
That because you've gone away
I missed my
Last Chance to See
Dolphins, Rhinos, Kakapos - you had your chance to see
But what about rest of us who had a different dream
I am tempted to use just one word to show you how I feel
Belgium man, yes Belgium - that should be pretty clear
We are all just asking questions
And are happy not to know what the answer is
You used Marvin's, Ford's and Zaphod's life
To show us more about our own
You wrote volumes just between the lines
And I just can't believe you're gone
We are all just asking questions but
You're the one who dared to give us a simple answer
I thought that I knew
I thought I had it all figured out
And I hate that I now understand
That you've been taken away
And I missed my Last Chance to See
I missed my Last Chance to See
Every night
I listen to your voice
And the wisdom in your words
Will always make me smile
I should have known
Should have thought about it more
Should have read between the lines
Should have been on top of it all
And I hate that I now understand
That because you've had to go
I missed my Last Chance to See
I really should have known
Should have asked asked and should have probed
Should have read between the lines
Should have been on top of it all
And I can't stand that I now apprehend
That because you've left the scene
I missed my Last Chance to See
I missed my Last Chance to See
I have missed my Last Chance to See
My sleep burrows me a chain of monochromatic rooms
that jangles in the day and recalls a samey drone
Day has drawn out from the night
what's been lacking in its wage
reviving eyes that choked the light
with no extraction for the page
I can not seem to remember my dreams lately
If the moon defines the night and illuminates
without direction
could the obscured that steered my life illuminate its
intervention?
I fought so long for an explanation
planting
the seeds that took root in my mind
explaining
into dust what was a lucid situation
If I want I could move these walls past my door to a better place
I feel like there's a wind that could catch all my fingers, fly away
Past towers of iron and cement touching sky over rivers continents wide
Onto rolling walls with billions inside, augment my view of life, white cliffs isle's east side
Blue fields of five waving patiently while I slide into new scapes of change
Because tomorrow I'll be gone
And all that now surrounds me will keep moving on
When I look back what will I see
Will I have learned a lesson, something I believe
Give me a journey
Show me all the colors of life
Give me the distance
Show me a way to navigate this world
Give me a journey
Show me the road that I should take
There is no reason
To be stuck in just one place
Give me the journey
Paint with the watercolors of life
Give me the distance
To walk the image I create
Give me the journey
Show me the road that I should take
There is no reason
To be stuck in just one place
Keys unlock the plain to golden gates that lock again a violent bay
Where will I land and what will fill my eyes - who will I be each time that I arrive
Blades of grass cutting lines in the dirt and burnt goodbyes I've seen that star it guides my night
By sea or land, shifting air, how I move I don't care
Kiss me soft let me go, breathe in me the place you know - I want to know it too (spoken)
Out of the window there's a scene I seem to have seen each morning
White circles, red squares, I bet you don't see this everywhere
Sure I learn and like and am the things that fill this street
But could you be content knowing each day these moments just repeat
So a thought, a pass, a plane, a ticket marked with ink by name
A taxi pull, a plastic tray folded upright till we leave the runway
Way above the clouds
Freedom's pure when you don't hold out
Watch the weight of all you've known
Pass right under where you've flown
And all the things that seemed to matter
Grow much smaller worn and weathered
Final approach, we're going down
Prepare to land on foreign ground
Way above the clouds
Freedom's pure when you don't hold out
Watch the weight of all you've known
Crash and burn somewhere below
Crash and burn without a sound
Off the wing it looks the same till clouds give way
A new domain beckons me to play
A new song, new life, new ways to fly
Grab on, hold tight, It's gonna be a wild ride
I wanna fly far away
Wanna see a different place
Where to go, I don't know
There is so much left to see - so
I don't know where to go from here
I don't know where to roam
What will I see tomorrow
Where will I sleep tonight
Who will I meet tomorrow
And who will I kiss goodbye
I don't know where to go from here
Still don't know who I am
In spite of all my travels
In spite of all I've seen
My mind replays the memories
And you can't take that from me
But who knows where to go from here
And who cares where I go, do I have to know
Where this road's leading, no place to sleep tonight
The sun just keeps repeating its pattern in the sky
Give me the journey
Paint with all the colors of life
I'll walk the distance
To live on the canvas that I stain
With every memory
Coursing through my veins
There's just a brush
And I am the world it paints
Tell me where to go from here
Tell me I can stay so I see you tomorrow
I'll sleep with you tonight
If I have to go tomorrow
Then I kiss your lips goodbye
I don't want to go from here
And will you understand when you wake up
And I'm not there in the middle of the night
These eyes have yet to see what's under all these skies
Give me the journey
Pour out the colors of my life
I see the distance
In the mirror passing by
Give me my journey
In every shade and stride
There is no reason
Why our worlds should collide
All I've seen and all I've come to know has carved me
With patterns you can trace to realize our differences
Are not for the better or the worse they simply just are
Taught in miles, learned by path, leave it on my epitaph
Embrace each uncomfortable moment then relax
The news alive and educates he who doesn't wait
But packs willing to return to the same space
For the first time
I am living
In colors I'm picking
But you keep on stalling
What cha gonna be if your never see
For the first time
You're given
A fresh pallet
You're mixing
But you can't keep on slipping
Back into the place that cha cant leave
I wanna stay in a place
And I must appreciate
Where I've been, what I've seen
Even though they're different things - and
Now that we've found common ground
I have a way to understand
What you are, how you work
What defines a peoples worth - now
I close my eyes, fall asleep
Knowing I fulfilled my dream
Now it's your time to fly
I chose? Refile me? Merciless...refile in for?
I throw myself.
I do rip. why do rip. Suddenly or errant lie?
Can you fight? you believe?
Or many lies, too many lies, too many lies.
Can you fight? You believe?
Or many lies, too many...
Oh, I pray, sigh, night. hide away.
errant lie, sell out, do you rip for?
and do rip, sacred lie, fight to the way.
I know the way and reason why the sacred lie.
and rely, and rely, do you rip for.
and do rip, sacred lie.
errant lie, sell out, do you rip for?
and do rip, sacred lie.
errant lie, sell out, do you rip for?
and do rip, sacred lie, fight to the way.
I chose? Refile me? Merciless...refile in for?
I chose? resgh ...chose...fake? Lie!!.
I pray, sigh,night, hide away.
The things that matter to us are destroyed by someone's desire
An unbearable chain is repeated forever from long ago
It is such a stupid thing
Keys unlock the plain to the golden gates That lock again a violent bay Where will I land and what will fill my eyes Who will I be each time that I arrive
Blades of grass Cutting lines in the dirt and burnt goodbyes I've seen that star And it guides my night
By sea or land, shifting air How I move, I don't care So kiss me soft, and let me go And breathe in me the place you know
You work me so hard that my back's near broke (we're groanin') My brow is wet and my throat's a-choke (we're groanin') You send me here for 10 long years (we're groanin') I miss my whisky and I miss my beer (we're groanin') Ain't seen a gal since I don't know when (we're groanin') And the way you treat me won't see one again (we're groanin') (main riff in G)
You broke my head cos I spat on a guard (we're groanin') Don't make me no better you just make me harder (we're groanin') Your water stinks cos it comes from a bog (we're groanin') And that slop you feed us ain't fit for a dog (we're groanin')
C D Well you can tease me and try to break me and still I spit at you Eb D You'll never break my spirit, even when my body's black and blue
C /C /G /G /D /Eb /D (8 trail offs - ie hit D barre chord slide down and mute)
(guitar solo)
I know you're messin' with my heart
I know you'll never-ever be true to me
Just another kiss in the dark oooh
But it, feels so good'til-I, think i should, OH - OH - OH - OH I got to be careful not to go too far
Afraid to discover I'm just another lover
You've got me burning with desire, Should I let myself go, or take it
Real slow, I don't know OH OH OH OH - I don't wanna be, just another link
In your chain, cause you're dangerous, Got my passion movin' in the fast lane
I don't wanna be, just another link
In your chain, chain, chain
Just another link in your chain, chain, chain. You whisper things that I can't tell my mother, Is there truth in your lies, your reputation is
Love'em and leave'em well can't let it, I won't let it happen to me, I don't wanna be, just another link
In your chain, cause you're dangerous, Got my passion movin' in the fast lane
I don't wanna be, just another link
In your chain, chain, chain
Just another link in your chain, chain, chain. Mama told me never, never, never, ever
Ger caught with my defenses down, you'll
Get into trouble and you won't have a cover
You'll be left all alone woth your memories
With your mem... mories
With your mem... mories I surrender with my heart in my hand, Neither one of us will ever be the same again
You were the hunter captured by the game, I know you weren't thinkin' one kiss would put an end to your chain. I will never be, just another link
In your chain, cause you're dangerous, Got my passion movin' in the fast lane
Don't wanna be, just another link in your chain, chain, chain.
Chain, chain, chain. Chain leave us alone. Your shadow is drifting under the door, your venom is trickling down the floor. My tears i will give them my trust, for when they hit you my friend your power will rust. I can.t break away from chain... fatal friend the chain.
You are wicked and confining to me yet the lock you have created does have a key. i can.t break away from chain fatal friend the chain.
You've got us hanging on your every word, patiently waiting a sign. One minute we can expect the absurd, next minute everything's fine. So unpredictable no reason nor rhyme, worse than the hours in a day. We seem to remember a well balanced time or was it always this way? Hot to cold, too hot to hold. Hot to cold, too hot to hold, too hot to - Half a degree either way unconcerned you shed no ray or relief and plagued by a fear of your high winds of change day to night's difference is brief. Erratic shifts in your moods have us all under a high pressure sway. Showering us constantly playing your game we have no choice but to play. Hot to cold, too hot to hold. Hot to cold, too hot to hold, too hot to - Hot to cold, too hot to hold. Hot to cold, too hot to hold. Now! Hot to cold, too hot to hold. Hot to cold, too hot to hold. Hot to cold, too hot to hold.
Douglas Adams: There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Days of torment
Days of truth
Living hell
Buried youth
Life is here
Life is dead
Hollowed eyes
Zombie head
Born in dirt
Sin and pain
Always to wear
A fucking chain
Tear my face
Who am I
Behind the mask
Smiles the lie
Life is here
Life is dead
Hollowed eyes
Zombie head
Born in dirt
Sin and pain
Always to wear
A fucking chain
"Bleeding in my hands
Bitter and sour
Lies the holy life
Long passed the hour
Awakening,ascending
Naked on the floor
In a cracked mirror I face the truth
The fact That I am nothing"
Orphan...crawl to your cross
Orphan...receive your chain
Days of torment
Days of truth
Living hell
Buried youth
Life is here
Life is dead
Hollowed eyes
Zombie head
Born in dirt
Sin and pain
Always to wear
A fucking chain
Perfect imperfection - beautiful disorder... Grace Ladder leading to nothing - bliss and primordial space Here are footprints of the future present past Here are the seeds of questions not yet asked
What is it? Where is it? When is it real first life? Should it be nature in line to claim the right? What is it? Where is it? When is it real first life? Only a sleeper in time dare brave the night.....
Here in the chaos chasm lies the dust that will be God someday Innocence molded to purpose - given soul and a sword to lead a faith Here is truth as yet untainted by Word Here is reason to whole to be heard....

Chain I feel the words falling a rhythm
I see the wind bearing it's decision to never give in
Oh I'm amazed, I hear the words from some kind of silence
When the world falls into violence we'll never give in
Chain I see the world falling in a rhythm
I feel the wind bearing it's decision to never give in
Oh I'm afraid, I hear the words from some kind of silence
When the world falls into violence they'll never give in
Chained in silence the rhythm of violence
Change all around us, change in everything you see
Chained in silence the rhythm of violence
Change all around us, change in everything you see
I'm amazed, I see the world in revolution
Within the darkness a solution we'll never give in
Chained in silence the rhythm of violence
Change all around us, change in everything you see
Chained in silence the rhythm of violence
Change all around us, change in everything you see
Chained in silence the rhythm of violence
Change all around us, change in everything you see
Chained in silence the rhythm of violence
