Lyric(s) of the day?

[Indiana Sev]

I'm surprised this hasn't been done before (if it has, close this sucker down :D ).

Basically, it's the same idea as the quote of the day, except you post a lyric or lyrics from a song that best describe your day, yourself, your mood...You get the idea.

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushin' me around
but I'll stand my ground and I won't back down


~ I Won't Back Down

lol, I let some jack-off customer have it the other day at work and I've been pretty much standing up to more and more people lately so I thought this Tom Petty lyric (great song, btw) might be appropriate for today. :cool:

[Dignan]

HEY
WORLD
HERE
I
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM


Don't rain on my parade Sev.:D

[Annie Hall]

Mentally change this to suit the appropriate genders:

Man I feel like mold
It's prom night and I am lonely lo and behold
She's walkin' over to me
This must be fake
My lip starts to shake
How does she know who I am?
Why does she give a damn about me?

Teenage Dirtbag (Wheatus)

[notchreturns]

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water.
And maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong but tonight you're on my mind so you never know

Lover, You Should've Come Over (Jeff Buckley)

[QUENTIN]

"Graceful swans of never topple to the earth again"

Gotta love those graceful swans of never, I was listening to Melloncollie today in my car and that struck me as my favorite line from Thirty-Three, had it in my mind ever since.

[SykkBoy]

I'm not anti-society, society's anti-me
I'm not anti-religion, religion is anti-me
I'm not anti-tradition, tradition is anti-me
I'm not anti-anything, I just wanna be free

-- Two-Sided Politics by Suicidal Tendencies

just kinda describes me.....

[Indiana Sev]

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be.

Let It Be ~ The Beatles

My favorite Beatles song, just really sweet and true. :)

[flowrchild]

My theme song for today is:

Girls Just Want To Have Fun

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

:D

[BakeTheMooCow]

I wish I could get my head outta the sand
'cause I think we'd make a good team
And you would keep my fingernails clean
BUT THAT'S JUST A STUPID DREAM THAT I WON'T REALIZE
'cause I can't even look in your eyes
without shakin'

[Kastman]

Love is wrong, and girls are FUCKING evil!

The last song i will ever write about a girl - The Ataris

[Morgana]

Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.

A Day in the Life - The Beatles

[Annie Hall]

This song, I have found is the most likely to reflect my mood. Because Mary Jo, in most cases, is me.

Mary Jo, back with yourself
For company, keep telling yourself you're young
It'll happen soon


Belle & Sebastian "Mary Jo"

[Sigur509]

"I'm Mike D. and I get respect
Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect"


Beastie Boys - "Paul Revere"

[QUENTIN]

My heart is broke, but I have some glue.
Help me inhale, and mend it with you.
We'll float around, and hang out on clouds.
Then we'll come down, and have a hangover.

~ Dumb Nirvana

[Indiana Sev]

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Sister Golden Hair ~ America

I love this song!

It puts a smile to my face every time. A perfect "wake up Monday morning" song.

After The Eagles and The Rolling Stones, probably one of my favorite bands from the seventies.

[BakeTheMooCow]

I'm BREATHING so I guess I'm still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
I've got my hands bound
my head down
my eyes closed
and my throat wide open.

DO unto others what has been done to you

[BadCoverVersion]

It's ever so STICKY outside, and the skimpy vest brigade are out in force...multitudes of flesh on show, and lots of glistening skin. These lyrics seem appropriate...

The day didn’t go too well, too many chocolates and cigarettes, I kept thinking of you and walking into lampposts. Why is it so hot? The air coming to the boil, rubbing up against walls and lampposts trying to get rid of it. Old women clack their tongues in the shade of crumbling concrete bus shelters. Dogs doing it on the central reservation and causing multiple pile ups in the centre of town.

Sheffield Sex City

[Michael_myers]

sitting one a sofa on a sunday afternoon,
going to the candidate's debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it, but when you've got to choose, anyway you look at it you lose.
Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio,
A nation turns it's lonely eyes to you,
wew wew wew,
what's that you say Mrs Robinson,
joltin' Joe has left and gone away,
hey hey hey, hey hey hey

Yup. That pretty much desribes it.

[SykkBoy]

Well I'm searching through my bed
I got ankles in my head
I'm in really bad
It's the best time I ever had

I'm a sick boy
I'm a sick boy - there should be more


Sick Boy - GBH

hey, my theme song :)

[Reigh Kaufman]

"I'll keep the wolf from the door but he calls me up, calls me on the phone, tells me all the ways that he's going to mess me up, steal all my children if I don't pay the ransom, and I'll never see them again if I squeal to the cops"

Radiohead - A Wolf At The Door

There's a long story behind it, but the song, my favourite Radiohead track, was the final track on a CD I burned for listening to on the way to and from the T In The Park festival. Ah, memories............

[flowrchild]

I am feeling happy and free from a lot of stress in my life lately, so I choose the song Quasimodo from Lifehouse for today.

There goes my pain
There goes my chains
Did you see them falling
Because this feeling
There has no meaning
There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back
There it goes

[Annie Hall]

Once again, flip it about gender-wise. This very thing recently happened to me, so, hence my choice:

Your day breaks, your mind aches,
You find that all her words of kindness linger on,
When she no longer needs you.
She wakes up, she makes up,
She takes her time and doesn’t feel she has to hurry,
She no longer needs you.

The Beatles

"Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
Well I ain't ready for the altar, but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine"

I used to listen to this damn near every morning on the way to school Freshman year, solid song and band, some damn fine choices so far Sev.


I've got Billy Joel on my mind since talking to Flowr last night, so Piano Man it is...

"It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me, making love to his tonic and gin
He says 'Son can you play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes'"

[notchreturns]

Cut this picture into you and me
Burn it backwards kill this history
Make it over make it stay away
Or hate'll say the ending that love started to stay
There's a kid a floor below me saying brother can you spare
Sunshine for a brother old man winter's in the air
Walked me up a story asking how you are
Told me not to worry you were just a shooting star

Sweet Adeline (Elliott Smith)

[Grebdron]

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Motherfucker!

Killing in the Name Of

Rage Against the Machine

[Shakamaker]

This one's for you, Jackson13. Break free brother! You're too good for the store!

"Frankly, Mr Shankly, this position I've held
it pays my way and it corrodes my soul
I want to leave you will not miss me
I want to go down in musical history

Frankly, Mr Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck
I've got the 21st century breathing down my neck
I must move fast, you understand me
I want to go down in celluloid history Mr Shankly"

- The Smiths, "Frankly Mr. Shankly".

For me, a tribute to my past...

"Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why"

- Thievery Corporation, "Lebanese Blonde".

[BadCoverVersion]

Well folks...TODAY has been the HOTTEST day of the year in the good old CITY of Manchester (32C).

Yowzers....it was most clammy and close.

So, MORE Sheffield Sex City for ya'...

The sun rose from behind the gasometers at 6.30a.m., crept through the gap in your curtains and caressed your bare feet poking from beneath the floral sheets. I watched him flaking bits of varnish from your nails trying to work his way up under the sheets, Jesus, even the sun’s on heat today, the whole city getting stiff in the building heat...

Oooooooooooh, VERY sexy.

Thanks Quentin, we might as well finish the song off; all that's left is...

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Glad to see there are other America fans out there... :cool:

[Morgana]

Water cleanses, you know
Washes dirt away, makes new


Wet My Bed - Stone Temple Pilots

Just got home from a run, can't wait to jump in the shower. :)

[Nachokoolaid]

A good break-up song. Great lyrics if you just ended a relationship.

Wash your back so you don't stab mine. Get in bed with your own kind. Live your life so you don't see mine.
Oooh, Sweet Amber (insert other appropriate name). How sweet are you? How sweet does it get?
She holds my hand, and I lie to get a smile. Then she squeezes tighter. I still lie to get a smile.
Using what I want to get what you want. Using what I want to get what you want.
It was never as sweet as it seemed.

[Indiana Sev]

For today, a little sample from one of the greatest love songs ever written (a personal favorite too), by a badass rocker!

I feel wonderful - because I see
the love-light in your eyes
and the wonder - of it all
is that you just don't realize - how much I love you

it's time to go home now - and I've got an aching head
so I give her the car keys - and she helps me to bed
and then I tell her - as I turn out the light
I say, my darling - you were wonderful tonight
oh, my darling - you were wonderful tonight

Wonderful Tonight ~ Eric Clapton

Dedicated to an ex somewhere in Atlantic Canada.

[Annie Hall]

Because it's just one of those nights

I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me

Wallflowers; One Headlight

[BakeTheMooCow]

TAKE IT ALL. TAKE IT ALL IN. ALL THE WAY IN.
Let it go.
Let it go in.
You won't feel what you'd like to feel.
Lay back and let me show you another way.
If you knock me down I'll come back running, knock you down, it won't be long now
All the way in.
All the way.
TAKE IT UP HIGHER.
4 degrees warmer.
Give in now and let me in.
You'll like this in.
DON'T PULL IT OUT.
It brings us closer than dying and cancer and crying.
Come on.
You can take it all.
Just like that.

[BadCoverVersion]

No affection were the words that stuck on my mind,
When she walked out on me for the very last time.
Oh mamma, sweet mamma can you tell me what to say?
I don't know what I've done to be treated this way.

In a cold dirty room that's where I found myself...
With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf.
Oh mamma, sweet mamma can you tell me what to say?
I don't know what I've done but I'm feeling so ashamed...

[Grebdron]

Huge fan here, Sev.

Horse With No Name...

On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rain
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

[bowieee]

I can't believe I haven't stumbled on this thread yet, What a great idea Indiana!


With the kudos out of the way.....


Baby Doll by Laurie Anderson for today

I don't know about your brain-
but mine is really bossy
I come home from a day on the golf course
and I find all these messages
scribbled on wrinkled up scraps of paper
And they say thing like:
Why don't you get a real job?
Or: You and what army?
Or: Get a horse.

[Morgana]

Oh, the pain in my arms
Oh, the pain in my legs
Ooh, my shiftless body


I ran a little too much last night. Also, this is how it feels when you first get up in the morning once you hit your 30's. ;)

[kidkre0le]

I'm trapped again in endless rain
I divorce the thoughts of you I love with me,
I divorce your innocence and my guilt,
I divorce the lying sellout confidence,
I'm divorcing every mother fuckin' thing
I divorce the love bled meaningless,
I divorce the makeshift harmony,
I divorce the taunting acts of violence,
I divorce the pastime of jealousy,
I divorce control,
I divorce the faith,
I divorce the virtue,
I divorce the rain,
I divorce the excuse,
I divorce the greed,
I divorce the need,
I divorce iniquity in this mother fuckin' bullshit life,
Just want it all to go away,
Just want to run away to die, take it, myself, my life
Text book fucking mental, off me and pitch me in a hole

Mudvayne- Severed

[Shakamaker]

I dig these lines from U2's 'Kite'...

I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did

Anyone else know all the lyrics? I was driving late last night listening to the song, and was wondering whether he's actually talking to himself. Anyone know? I can post the full lyrics if anyone wants to help me.

[Reigh Kaufman]

"Moscow is still red, the young man's dead
Gone to Heaven instead
The Evening News says he was confused
Columbia is in top gear, it shouldn't snow this time of year,
America's sure, she's gone and won the lotto...

He thought of cars, and where to drive to, and who to drive there with...
But there...there was no-one, nowhere"

Blur - He Thought of Cars.

"I think last night, you were driving circles around me...
You were in my dreams, you were driving circles around me..."

Your Ghost - Kristin Hersh and Michael Stipe

[Shakamaker]

Great Blur lyrics, Reigh.

[flowrchild]

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

Foo Fighters- All My Life

[A.J. Hakari]

Drink up baby, stay up all night
The things you could do, you won't but you might
The potential you'll be that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make

-Elliott Smith, "Between the Bars"

[Indiana Sev]

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W. C. Handy - won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Walking In Memphis ~ Marc Cohn

Did a bit of walking and thinking after work tonight, when I got home, this song popped into my head. I've always loved this song, great lyrics and I'm a huge Elvis fan...

[Annie Hall]

Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind

Me and you whats going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong

In a direct application to my own circumstances, probably not as the singer intended...but, they do work unfortunately.

[flowrchild]

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning

But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl

Breaking The Girl (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

[QUENTIN]

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water, in and endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Dust in The Wind Kansas

[BakeTheMooCow]

Life's no story book
Love's an EXCUSE to get hurt
And to hurt
Do you like to hurt?

Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me

Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me

It's raining today
and I'm just about to forget the train window girl
That wonderful day we met
She smiles through the smoke from my cigarette
It's raining today
But once there was summer and you
And dark little rooms
And sleep in late afternoons
Those moments descend on my windowpane


It's NOT raining TODAY, but a downpour is nigh they say.

Bring it on. I'm sweating like a fat girl at a DISCO.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way,
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Never Met a Girl Like You Before - Flogging Molly

I would wrap the world in clover
But you make me see my way
And I would die for you tomorrow
Would you come to me today?
Sing a song of sadness about the girl with the happy face
And dance upon the water with a ripple or a trace

Love is here any cloud in the sky
Would you be my flushing bride?
I don't think so
But I never met a girl like,
I never met a girl like,
I never met a girl like you before

I'd climb the highest mountain
To the sunrise from your face
Light a million candles
To flicker to your name
Scream aloud with vengeance
With the wind beneath my breath
Do you understand the madness?
Do you recognize the grace?

Love is here any cloud in the sky
Would you be my flushing bride?
I don't think so
Oh I never met a girl like
I never met a girl like
I never met a girl like
I never met a girl like you before,

Oh no I never met a girl like you before
Oh no I never met a girl like you before, for, for
Oh no I never met a girl like you before

Bridge Over Troubled Water

When you're weary, feeling small, when tears are in your eyes, I’ll dry them all.
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough and friends just can't be found,
like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.

When you're down and out, when you're on the street,
when evening falls so hard, I’ll comfort you.
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes and pain is all around,
like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.

Sail on silver girl, sail on by. Your time has come to shine, All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine, oh and when you need a friend, I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind.

Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there and I'm here waiting
And I
Wrote this letter in my head
Cause so may things were left unsaid
But now your gone and I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance to make you understand


I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me cause I know I won't forget you

Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place and never come back
So now
Maybe after all these years if you miss me have no fear
I'll be here, I'll be waiting
This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you beat me once again


I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me cause I know I won't forget you

I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep I can't forget you
(Nanana, nanana)
And I'd do anything for you
(Nanana, nanana)


I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
...to fall asleep with you, yeah
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I want...
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Cause I know I won't forget you

Hobble over any freeway
You will be like your dreams tonight

I had a very cool night off, so I'd like to submit some lyrics from a kickass song from an ultra-cool band...

Oooooooh
Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don't care
I strut right by with my tail in the air

Stray cat strut I'm a ladies cat
I'm a feline casanova hey man that's that
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can

(spoken) Meow . Yeah , don't cross my path !

I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alley lookin' for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
"Wild stray cat , you're a real gone guy"
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style

Stray Cat Strut ~ The Stray Cats :cool:

[Annie Hall]

Wake... from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape

Shit happens, I guess.

Here I am and I’ll take my time
Here I am and I’ll wait in line always
Always.

And I said "What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?"
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, thats the one thing we've got.

Breakfast at Tiffany's ~ Deep Blue Something

Because I could never have ill feelings for anyone who loves this movie as much as I.

[BadCoverVersion]

I fell asleep on your sofa and had a dream about a small child in dungarees who caught his hands in the doors of the Paris metro. Then my face cracked open and you were there...(you were there)...you were there, dressed in green, saying something obscene. But that's why I came here in the first place.

Oh well that and the tea.

Acrylic Afternoons.

[A.J. Hakari]

"Can you sleep as the sound hits your ears one at a time? An unspoken balance here, unabridged for so many years. That I should stare at receivers to receive her isn't fair. Don't worry, I'll catch you. Don't worry, I'll catch you. Don't ever worry..."

Mysterious Ways U2

[flowrchild]

It just ain’t the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don’t belong
Nations droppin’ bombs
Chemical gasses fillin’ lungs of little ones
With the ongoin’ sufferin’ as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin’ really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin’ wrong
In this world that we livin’ in people keep on givin’ in
Makin’ wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin’ each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin’ on but the reason’s undercover
The truth is kept secret, it’s swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where’s the love, y’all, come on (I don’t know)
Where’s the truth, y’all, come on (I don’t know)
Where’s the love, y’all

Where Is The Love- Black Eyed Peas

I fucking *love* this song

[Shakamaker]

In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

From 'Don't Dream It's Over' by Crowded House

[Indiana Sev]

I don't care if monday's black
tuesday wednesday heart attack
thursday never looking back
it's friday I'm in love

monday you can hold your head
tuesday wednesday stay in bed
or thursday watch the walls instead
it's friday I'm in love

saturday wait
and sunday always comes too late
but friday never hesitate...

Friday, I'm In Love ~ The Cure

It's Friday, I'm not in love, but I'm much more optimistic nowadays and there is still 23 hours and 40 minutes left so, who knows. ;)

Seriously though, I'm a big Cure fan and I thought this would be an appropriate lyrical entry today...

[Annie Hall]

Because it seems suiting to my current state.

Note to self: 4 hours of sleep in 48 hours is a BAD idea

And now are you on your way to a new tension headache

Born Slippy ~ Underworld

[BadCoverVersion]

Inspired by some "geezerz" at the bus-stop this morning...

Out the club about three, to the take-away...
The shit-in-a-tray merchants, shops got special perchant for the disorderly.
Geezerz looking ordinary and a few looking leery...
Chips fly round the sound of the latest chart entry.
An incendiary waiting to blast!
No harm with the contest, who can throw the furthest?
Behind the counter they look nervous, but...
Carry on cutting the finest cuts of chicken from the big spinning stick.
Then over flies a chip, flips, and hits you on the back
You spin round on the attack,
'Fuck you playing at?' he looks like a cheshire cat, almost falls down.
Your frowns and superman eye lasers don't even register,
By now you want to leather this twat...
And forever your gonna regret that, your choice of path,
So mash his head up and your girls now fed up...
But stop to think and it's never gonna be the Jackie Chan scene it could have been (to end up)!

Geezerz need excitement,
If their lives don't provide them this they incite violence.
Common sense.
Simple common sense.
Geezerz need excitement,
If their lives don't provide them this they incite violence.
Common sense.
Simple common sense.

[Reigh Kaufman]

Hot and twisted thoughts that spin around my head (I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning)
How quick the sun can drop away,
And now my bitter hands shake beneath the black of what was everything....
All the love gone bad turns my world to black,
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be....

Yeah

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a sun,
In sombeody else's sky

But why? Why? Why? Can it be? How can it be?

Black - Pearl Jam

[paul calf]

nothing ever happens-del ametri

Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
Janitors padlock the gates
For security guards to patrol
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
While the married ones turn on a chat show

its friday and yes tonight i shall be working late and coming home to watch chatshow's.how exciting is that :(

[Morgana]

God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through

You make pretty daisies pretty daisies
Love I gotta find what you're doing about things
Here a few witches burning
Gets a little toasty here
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows


The lyrics fit my current attitude.

[jackson13]

2 songs:


I dont know why
Everytime I wanna fly
Somebody always tries to hold me down
Hold me down

Hold me Down - Tommy Lee

and


You dont wanna fuck with
Me today
Cuz a little sumpin sumpin goes your way
So try not to be like
That today
Cuz im a real motherfucker from
Around the way

Cant think of the name but its by Limp Bizkit


To sum it up, Im a real muthafucka who keeps getting held down!

[Quiver]

"Black hearted to the bone,
Older than the Rolling Stones.
Been to Heaven, been to Hell,
Bought the farm and I wont sell.
Give and take, rise and fall,
Rise up and take it all!
Secret love, I wont tell.
Knock you up and ring your bell

Kiss the whip, eat the gun
Tell me it aint fair
Midnight victim, hit and run
I'm so bad, baby I dont care"

"I'm So Bad (Baby I Dont Care)
Motorhead from "1916"

[Indiana Sev]

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing

It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet I know we'll meet
Beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

Together we'll be just you and me
Beyond the sea

Beyond The Sea ~ Bobby Darin

Many reasons why I chose this tonight...

1) I'm a huge Bobby Darin fan and this is my favorite song of his.

2) The lyrics are very inspiring and optimistic, I feel good tonight and the song just makes me feel better.

3) It's one of those songs that have lyrics you can enjoy singing along to.

4) I ran into Ray Liotta at the concession stand at the movies today and I'm a big fan of his, so I thought it would be appropriate to also pick a song from his best film: (and one of my all-time favorites) Goodfellas

[notchreturns]

Hmmm, don't really know why I picked this one, but it's just very hectic, got a great sound and is always improving as a song, as time goes by... it's now one of my fave Radiohead tunes. And I dig the lyrics...

Drag him out the window
Dragging out your dead
Singing I miss you
Snakes & ladders flip the lid out pops
the cracker smacks you in the head knifes
you in the neck kicks you in the teeth stell
toe caps takes all your credit cards step up
get the gunge
Get the eggs get the flan in the face the
flan in the face the flan in the face
Dance you fucker dance you fucker don't
you dare
Don't you dare don't you
Flan in the face
Take it with the love it's given take it with
a pinch of salt take it to the taxman
Let me back let me back I promise to be
good don't look in the mirror at the face
you don't recognize
Help me, call the doctor, put me inside
put me inside put me inside put me inside
put me inside
I keep the wolf from the door but he
calls me up calls me on the phone tells me
all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I don't pay the
ransom & I'll never see them again if I
squeal to the cops...
Walking like giant cranes & with my X
ray eyes I strip you naked in a
Tight little world and are you on the list?
Stepford wives who are we to complain?
Invesment & dealers. Investment &
dealers.
Cold wives and mistresses
Cold wives and Sunday papers city boys
in First Class don't know we're born just
know
Someone else is gonna comes & clean it up
Born & raised for the job
Someone always does I wish you'd get up
go over get up go over & turn this tape off

Ladies and Gentleman... that was A Wolf at the Door by Radiohead...

[Annie Hall]

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see
its easy
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are.

Possibly the most uplifting song ever written.

If you want to sing out--Cat Stevens

Good song, Annie. Harole & Maude rocks.

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

[BakeTheMooCow]

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile

[Annie Hall]

Sing along with the common people,
sing along and it might just get you through,
laugh along with the common people,
laugh along even though they're laughing at you,
and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.

Common People ~ Pulp

[Indiana Sev]

All alone at the end of the of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer
(spent my life running 'round)
And it's so hard to change
(Can't seem to settle down)
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?

And when you're looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door
(Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back, you're running back
You're coming back for more

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time

Take It To The Limit ~ The Eagles

I've been listening to this almost constantly lately, very soothing and reflective song, I love it.

[notchreturns]

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, no, Ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right, right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) REM

[jackson13]

Now on the day I was born
The Nurses all gathered round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found


The head nurse spoke up
said 'leave this one alone'
she could tell right away
that I was bad to the bone



I dont think I need to say the name of the song.



But im Bad to the Bone, beyotch! :D

[A.J. Hakari]

I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
All a moment that's held in your arms
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I don't listen anyway
You ignore me
And I'll never be what you want me to be

And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no not a man
You can take me and throw me away
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here all alone
They don't know me, 'cause I'm not here

And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me, 'cause I'm not here...

-Johnny Rzeznik, "I'm Still Here"

[quoth_the_raven]

I am ahead, I am a man
I am the first mammal to wear pants, yeah
I'm at peace with my lust
I can kill 'cause I get the choice
it's evolution, baby

I'm a beast, I'm a man
I buy stocks on the day of the crash, yeah
on the loose, i'm a truck
all the rolling hills I'll flatten them out, yeah
it's herd behavior, uh huh
it's evolution, baby

Admire me, admire my home
admire my son, he's my clone
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
this land is mine, this land is free
i'll do what i want yet irresponsibly
it's evolution, baby

Im a thief, i'm a liar
there's my church
I sing in the choir:
hallelujah, hallelujah

Admire me, admire my home
admire my song, admire my clothes
Consider, appetite for a nightly feast
those ignorant indians got nothing on me
nothing, why?
because, it's evolution, baby!

I am ahead, i am advanced
i am the first mammal to make plans, yeah
i crawled the Earth, but now i'm higher
twenty-ten, watch it go to fire
it's evolution, baby
it's evolution baby
do the evolution
come on
come on, come on


Pearl Jam- Do the Evolution

[Annie Hall]

Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now, when I need you
Alone on an aeroplane
Fall asleep on against the window pane
My blood will thicken

I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain
'Cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
But who are my real friends?
Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking this low?

My baby's got the bends, oh no
We don't have any real friends, no, no, no

The Bends--Radiohead

[Raymond Babbit]

Two songs.

First one's because I just got back from vacation yesterday:

Sit around and watch the tube but nothin's on
Change the channel for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
and I'm fuckin' lazy

Longview- Green Day

2nd song is because I've been seeing a lot on the news about Bush's "16 words":

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgment day comes, yeah!

War Pigs- Black Sabbath

[Indiana Sev]

Last night I took a walk after dark
A swingin' place called Palisades Park
To have some fun and see what I could see
That's where the girls are

I took a ride on a shoot-the-chute
That girl I sat beside was awful cute
And after while she was holdin' hands with me

My heart was flyin' up like a rocket ship
Down like a roller coaster
Back like a loop-the-loop
And around like a merry-go-round

We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And when I could, I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love

You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel
When I fell in love down at Palisades Park

Palisades Park ~ Freddy Cannon

I'm reading Chuck Barris' "Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind" right now and he co-wrote this song so I thought, why not?

Btw, great book and great pop song too.

[notchreturns]

This is meant for a couple days ago, but I couldn't pass it up, I think the lyrics are very beautiful and anyone can relate.


What I dream I had:
Pressed in organdy;
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy;
Softer than the rain.
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays.
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alley ways,
As I walked on.

And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night.
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight,
I held your hand.
And when I awoke and felt you warm and near,
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears.
Oh I love you, girl.
Oh, I love you.

For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her Simon and Garfunkel

[Shakamaker]

There you were freaking out,
Trying to get your head around the fact that me and you and love is dead
See how I'm trippin' out
'Cos you can't decide what you really want from me

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L

There you were shouting out
Cranking up your altercations, getting upset in your desperation
Screaming and hollering
How could this love become so paper thin?

You're playing so hard to get
You're making me sweat just to hold your attention
I can't give you nothing more
If you ain't givin' nothing to me

'Little L' - Jamiroquai

[BadCoverVersion]

You can't grumble with a bit of Stevie Wonder...

His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...

Stevie is a dude.

[flowrchild]

Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
About Nothing and Everything
all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the Creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm Cracking Up
Am I just Paranoid?
Or am I just Stoned

Basketcase- Greenday

[BakeTheMooCow]

I got a gun the other day from Sako.
It's cute, small, fits right in my pocket.
Yeah, right in my pocket. (Sugar)
My girl, you know, she lashes out at me sometimes,
And I just fuckin' kick her,
And then oooh baby...she's okay. (Sugar)
People are always chasing me down,
Trying to push my face to the ground,
Where all they really want to do,
Is suck out my mother fucking brains,
My brains! (Sugar)

I sit, in my desolate room,
No lights, no music, JUST ANGER.
I've killed everyone,
I'm away forever, but I'm feeling better.

How do I feel? What do I say?
FUCK YOU, it all goes away.
How do I feel? What do I say?
FUCK YOU, it all goes away.
How do I feel? What do I say?
In the end it all goes away.
How do I feel? What do I say?
In the end it all goes away...

Right now I got this tune running through my head thanks to a certain lurvely blonde...

Yellow is the color of my true love's hair in the morning when we rise
In the morning, when we rise, that's the time, that's the time I love the best

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn my 'round
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
Guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it, the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong
Nothing
Hi-oh! I got plenty of time
Hi-oh! You got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight
Say goodnight

Home is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you or you find me?
There was a time, before we were born
If someone asks, this is is where I'll be
Where I'll be
Hi-oh! We drift in and out
Hi-oh! Sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people, you got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
And share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots, hit me on the head
Ooooo, oooooo...

-Talking Heads, "This Must Be the Place" (Naive Melody)

I just love these guys. :cool:

[quoth_the_raven]

Too many messages multi media sponge
too many to address i guess
you could say i'm out lunch
television tells me what to think
i don't even realise i know nothing

Nothing at all
nothing at all
i know nothing

Mulder tells me what to think
lunatics what would they know
coke can tell me what to drink
i can consume with nothing to show
jerry makes me feel better
i call them all freaks and do they Jerry call
nothing makes you realise i know nothing
nothing at all

I know nothing
nothing, nothing
you won't know nothing

I took with one hand and pushed
away with the other
still my cup overflows
can't make up my mind one way
or the other information overload
I took with one hand and pushed
away with the other
still my cup overflows
can't make up my mind one way
or the other information overload

Can't make up my mind

I took with one hand and pushed
away with the other
still my cup overflows
can't make up my mind one way
or the other information overload
I took with one hand and pushed
away with the other
still my cup overflows
can't make up my mind one way
or the other information overload.

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms to go back to the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lilps to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

[Indiana Sev]

Knights in white satin never reaching the end
Letters I've written never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before
Just what the truth is I can't say any more
Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you

Gazing at people some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be you'll be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you, oh

Knights In White Satin ~ The Moody Blues

I just got back from seeing Bend It Like Beckham (excellent movie, btw) and I saw Pirates Of The Carribean last Friday, both starring the criminally beautiful Kiera Knightley.

So, I thought I'd take one of my favorite songs from the seventies, alter the spelling of "night" and dedicate it to her...

[Annie Hall]

Drive boy dog boy dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy she was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy and tears boy
And all in your innerspace boy you had
Hands girl boy and steel boy you had
Chemicals boy I’ve grown so close to you
Boy and you just groan boy she said
Comeover comeover she smiled at you boy.

Born Slippy...Underworld...

Today,

Well isn't it a lovely day
Oh, my patio's on fire
Well isn't it a lovely day?
Oh no, words are wisdom'd from liars

And if you really want to kiss her
Just go right up and tell her
Oh, isn't it a lovely day for...

so i threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel
eyes of a tragedy
oh well apparently nothing
you don't see me
you don't see me at all




truly one of the most beautiful songs ever

[quoth_the_raven]

Two in a row now Bake....and its not even alcohol induced....

Come waste your millions here
Secretly she sneers
Another corporate show
A guilty conscience grows
And I'll feel
A guilty conscience grow
And I'll feel
A guilty conscience grow

She burns like the sun and I can't look away
She'll burn our horizons
Make no mistake

Come let the truth be shared
No one ever dared
To break these endless lies
Secretly she cries

She burns like the sun and I can't look away
She'll burn our horizons
Make no mistake

I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll run forever
I can't face the shame

I'll hide form the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll run forever
I can't face the shame

Yep I'm kinda on a buzz since I'm gettin' the new CD imported from the U. K. since it doesn't come out here until Septemeber... I can't wait! "Smothered" has been jumpin' around in my head all month... "You push from the inside (Smothered) You push from the inside out..." :cool:

I've been patient, I've been good
Tried to keep my hands on the table
It's gettin' hard this holdin' back
If you know what I mean

I'm sure you'll understand my point of view
We know each other mentally
You gotta know that you're bringin' out
The animal in me

Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Physical ~ Olivia Newton-John

I was at the gym working out today and noticed as always, all the lovely ladies also working up a sweat, there were more today than usual.

Needless to say, this song popped into my head. Both meanings of the word appropriate for my mood while there...*evil grin*

:cool: :)

My work here is done (y'all). You gotta admire - even when you're uncontrollably laughing at the man and his song - Billy-Ray's tremendous mullet. It's a mighty-fine mullet. WooooOOO!

[Tyler_Durden_208]

All right now! Won't you listen?
When I first met you
Didn't realize
I can't forget you
Or your suprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting
You and your kind
Oh, yeah!

Get it!

I love you
Oh, you know it

My life was empty
Forever on a down
Until you took me
Showed me around
My life is free now
My life is clear
I love you, sweet leaf
Though you can't hear
Oh, yeah!

Come on, now
Try it out

Straight people don't know
What you're about
They put you down
And shut you out
You've given to me
A new belief
And soon the world
Will love you, sweet leaf
Oh, yeah!

Try it out!

I think that concludes my contribution...

99 Decision Street.
99 ministers meet.
To worry, worry, super-scurry.
Call the troops out in a hurry.
This is what we've waited for.
This is it boys, this is war.
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.

If it breathes -- Choke it

How do I smile this way?
I shed the light but still I rely on
The fear that starts my day
I wonder, I wonder

What has to happen to make you see?
If nothing happens would you feel?
(I've got to take it)

If it breathes -- Choke it

I've stolen this abuse
All I have left is just these scars

What has to happen to make you see?
If nothing happens would you feel?
(I've got to take it)

You grow

Scars

What has to happen to make you see?
If nothing happens would you feel?
(I've got to take it)

You grow

[Grebdron]

I told the priest
don't count on any second coming
God got his ass kicked the first time he came down here slumming

He had the balls to come
the gall to die
and then forgive us

No I don't wonder why
I wonder what he thought it would get us.

Tomorrow, Wendy - Concrete Blonde

[quoth_the_raven]

I only see myself reflected in your eyes
So all that I believe I am essentially are lies
And everything I've hoped to be or ever thought I was
Died with your belief in me so who the hell am I?
I don't know if I'm real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?
I'm wandering around confused
Wondering why I try
The more that you deny my pain
The more it intensifies...
I pray for someone to ache for me the way I ache for you
If you ignore that I'm alive
I've nothing to cling to
I don't know if I'm real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?
I stare in this mirror
So tired of this life
If only you would speak to me or care if I'm alive
Once I swore I would die for you
But I never meant like this
I never meant like this
I don't know if I'm real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?

Hero Of The War - Scott Walker

He's a Hero of the War.
All the neighbourhood is talkin' 'bout your son.
Mrs. Riley, get his medals hand them round to everyone!
Show his gun to all the children in the street.

"It's too bad he can't shake hands and move his feet..."

He's a Hero of the War.
You can see his picture in the local news.
Mrs. Riley, seems the girl next door is nowhere to be found!
Once you couldn't keep that whore from hangin' round.

"Never mind dear, you're with your Mum once more..."

He's a Hero of the War.
Like his Dad, he gave his life the war before.
It was tragic how you almost died of pain when he was born!
With no husband there beside you through it all.

"Ring the bell if you get hungry or you fall..."

You're a Hero of the War.
Why those teardrops on your cheeks? it's so absurd!
Feeling empty, It's the emptiness of Heroes like your son...
...and what made him leave his Mother for a gun.

Driven forward, driven back and nothing more.

He's a Hero of the War.

It's been in my head for 3 days now, I must give in...

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.

Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?


Simple Man Lynyrd Skynyrd

Drag him out the window
Dragging out your dead
Singing I miss you
Snakes & ladders flip the
lid out pops the cracker
smacks you in the head knifes
you in the neck kicks you in
the teeth steel toe caps takes
all your credit cards step up
get the gunge
Get the eggs get the flan in
the face the flan in the face
the flan in the face
Dance you fucker dance you
fucker don't you dare
Don't you dare don't you
Flan in the face
Take it with the love its
given take it with a pinch of
salt take it to the taxman
Let me back let me back I
promise to be good don't look
in the mirror at the face you
don't recognize
Help me call the doctor,
put me inside put me inside
put me inside put me inside
uit me inside
I keep the wolf from the door but he calls
me up calls me on the phone tells me all
the ways that he's gonna mess
me up
Steal all my children if I
don't pay the ransom & I'll
never see them again if I
squeal to the cops

Walking like a giant cranes
& with my x-ray eyes I strip
you naked in a
Tight little world & are you
on the list?
Stepford wives who are we
to complain?
Investments & dealers
Investments & dealers
Cold wives & mistresses
Cold wives & Sunday
papers city boys in First Class
don't know we're born just
know
Someone else is gonna
come & clean it up
Born & raised for the job
Someone always does
I wish you'd get up go over
get up go over & turn this tape off.
I keep the wolf from the door but he calls
me up calls me on the phone tells me all
the ways that he's gonna mess
me up
Steal all my children if I
don't pay the ransom & I'll
never see them again if I

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

Nothing Compares 2 U ~ Sinead O'Connor

I've always liked this song, the lyrics (by Prince) are very honest and heartbreaking.

[Shakamaker]

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

You can't resist her.
She's in your bones.
She is your marrow, and your ride home.

You can't avoid her.
She's in the air.
[in the air]
And in between molecules of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.

Only in dreams, you'll see what it means.
Reach out our hands.
Hold on to hers.
But when we wake, it's all been erased.
And so it seems... only in dreams.

THINK ABOUT IT

[QUENTIN]

First thing I remember was askin' papa why?
For there were many things I didn't know.
And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
Sayin' Someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, Someday Never Comes.

Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
For there were many things I didn't know.
When Daddy went away, he said try to be a man,
And, Someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, Someday Never Comes.

And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there,
For there were many things I didn't know.
A son was born to me, mama held his hand,
Sayin' someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, Someday Never Comes.

Think it was September, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didn't know.
And I still see him standing, tryin' to be a man,
I said, Someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, Someday Never Comes.

When it comes to kissin', I just gotta keep insistin'. Baby, you sure do swing
When it comes to kissin', I just gotta keep insistin'. Daddy, you are the king

Baby, you've got me beat up and down, inside-out, and across...oh yeah
But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright, you're the boss

Talkin' bout a-dancin' and a-down home romancin'. Daddy, you make the scene
Talkin' bout a-dancin' and a-down home romancin'. Baby, you are the queen

Man, when push comes to shove and when it comes down to love, you're the boss
But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright, you're the boss

You're the best of everything
You're a peach
You're a plum
You're a diamond
You're a pearl

You're the best of everything
Daddy, you're my man
Baby, you're my girl

When it comes to knowin' which way the wind is blowin', Baby, you sure are wise
And when it comes to knowin' which way the wind is blowin', Daddy, you take the prize

Baby, you're a genius when it comes to cookin' up some chili sauce
But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright, you're the boss
You're the boss
You're the boss
You're the boss

Baby, you're a genius when it comes to cookin' up some chili sauce
But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright, you're the boss

When it comes to kissin', I just gotta keep insistin'. Baby, you sure do swing
And when it comes to kissin', I just gotta keep insistin'. Daddy, you are the king

You're the boss
You're the boss
You're the boss

[Tyler_Durden_208]

How many times can it change
How long will I be restrained
It's appalling to think that
All my time seems to be wasted
Will it stop or is it inly beginning

Here on the inside
My life is not over
I'm down again

Fake smiles surround me all day
No more can I tolerate
These excuses or all this
Constant pressure overloading
Make it stop the fire's always burning

Chimaira - "Down Again"

[BadCoverVersion]

Belligerent ghouls
run Manchester schools
spineless swines
cemented minds
Sir leads the troops
jealous of youth
same old suit since 1962
he does the military two-step
down the nape of my neck
I wanna go home
I don't want to stay
give up education
as a bad mistake
mid-week on the playing fields
Sir thwacks you on the knees
knees you in the groin
elbow in the face
bruises bigger than dinner plates
I wanna go home
I don't want to stay

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been coming for some time
When it's over so they say
It'll rain on a sunny day
I know
Shining down like water

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?

This is dedicated to my friend's evil dog who attacked me this afternoon as I was leaving his house. Decided to chomp the back of my leg to the point of blood. Little fucker.

Roll over! Roll over! Roll over! Roll over!
Pretty please pretty play chase away chase away
Nasty nasty snapping nasty biting spitting nasty nasty
Hammer hammer teeth nails sit sit sit sit

My father never told me about the 'birds & the bees'.
And I guess I never realised that I would ever meet birds as beautiful as these.

I came inside, climbed to your bedroom.
I kissed your eyes awake then I did what I knew was only natural.

And then the birds in your garden, they all started singing this song...

"Take her now.
Don't be scared, it's alright.
Oh, come on, touch her inside.
It's a crime against nature - she's been waiting all night.
Come on,
Hold her...and kiss her...and tell her you care.
If you wait 'til tomorrow she'll no longer be there.

Come on and give it to her.
You know it's now or never."

Yeah, the birds in your garden have all started singing this song.

Yeah, the birds in your garden, they taught me the words to this song.


The Birds In Your Garden - Pulp

[Grebdron]

So I'm sailing for tomorrow. My dreams are a-dying.
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain.
I have my ship, and all her flags are a-flying.
She is all that I have left, and music is her name.

Think about how many times I have fallen.
Spirits are using me; larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.

So we cheated and we lied and we tested.
And we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do.
You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
In the Southern Cross.

Southern Cross - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

[Annie Hall]

The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;

"Land of Song!" cried the warrior bard,
(Should) "Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"

~The Minstrel Boy


I won't lie to ya'll, this song makes me a bit teary whenever I hear it.

[Dignan]

now, I wish it was
last September
when we could lose ourselves in crowds everyday
'cause Emaline
don't walk in time
she's not the same that's all you can say
when I've heard enough,
I tell myself
that we've learnt our lesson, but I
don't wanna walk away from Emaline
they're talking now
does she know what they're saying?
she's got the air
to float above it
I'm sinking in the "someone should pay"
she's dear to me
and so expensive
now I'm not talking 'bout money
when money talks,
I hate to listen
but lately it's been screaming in my ear
and when I've heard enough, I tell myself
that we've learnt our lesson, but I
don't wanna walk away from Emaline

it only took me one look to understand Emaline
sometimes I don't
know what she's saying
sometimes I do
sometimes I don't know what she's
saying
but I know, I know
I know what she wants to believe

now I wish it was
last September

don't let me walk away from Emaline
for stupid reasons
now I'm talking 'bout money
when money talks,
I hate to listen,
but lately it's been screaming in my ear

yeah, what advice!
girls need attention
or are you different than all mine?
for all it's worth,
she's got attention
from people like you who see black and white
now I've heard enough,
I'll tell you what
really shouldn't sit here and whine
I'll take you down to see my Emaline

I wish it was...

- Ben Folds Five, "Emaline"

[Indiana Sev]

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away. She slipped away.

It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

More Than A Feeling ~ Boston

I'm driving down to Boston in a couple of hours with some friends to catch a baseball game, so this song by Boston (great song) is my pick of the day...

[BakeTheMooCow]

Good choice, Sev.. that song influenced one of the best rock songs Smells Like Teen Spirit. Everytime I hear one, I'm reminded of the other.

Anyway..

Kickin' as I'm tryin' to sleep
Got the mud beneath my shoes
Rubber band rubber band
Gun in hand gun in hand
I wanna use
Roamin' roamin' roam
Get away gotta get away
And I think I think too much
I don't care yeah and I don't care

fell into
a sea of grass
and disappeared among
the shady blades...
children all
ran over me
screaming tag!
you are the one!

her sandals fail
she says stop!
i'm a girl...
whose fingernails are made
of mother's pearl...
yellow buttercup

orange buttercat
chasing after
the crazy bee
mad about somebody...

me and my girlfriend
don't wear no shoes
her nose is painted pepper
sunlight...
she loves me
i mean it's serious
as serious can be...

she sings a song and
i listen to what it says:
if you want a friend
feed any animal...
there was so much space
i cut me a piece
with some fine wine
it brought peace to my mind
in the summertime...
and it rolled
summer.... oh...
oh.... the summertime rolls

[Tyler_Durden_208]

You wear a cheap disguise
Your only vice until the end
Don't have an alliby
You never try
You just condemn

You pressure everything
You never bring
You take away
I can no longer breathe
You've taken me and everything to...

...Far, to me it's so disgusting
(Wrong?), I push myself away
(Far?), my sanity is rusting
(Wrong?),I look the other way

This is a war I can't fight
I can't let you tear me down
I will ignore all these lies
You will never tear me down

I sit and contemplate, how you sedate what's in my head
I will not instigate or emulate
I won't pretend

You'll never understand, just demand to get your way
How all of this began, I never ran, and now it's gone too...

...Far to me it's so disgusting
(Wrong?) I push myself away
(Far?) my sanity is rusting
(Wrong?) I look the other way

This is a war I can't fight
I can't let you tear me down
I will ignore all these lies
You will never tear me down
This is a war I can't fight
I can't let you tear me down
I will ignore all these lies
You will never tear me down

Never tear me down, never tear me

This is a war I can't fight
I can't let you tear me down
I will ignore all these lies
You will never tear me down

This is a war I can't fight
I can't let you tear me down
I will ignore all these lies
You will never tear me down
This is a war I can't fight
I can't let you tear me down
I will ignore all these lies
You will never tear me down

Never tear me
Never tear me down
Never tear me down

Spineshank - "Tear Me Down"

[flowrchild]

Better than watching Gellar bending silver spoons.
Better than witnessing new born nebulaes in bloom.
She who sees from 'up-high' smiles and surely sings.
Perspective pries your once weighty eyes and it gives you wings.

I haven't felt the way I feel today
in so long it's hard for me to specify.
I'm beginning to notice how much this feels like a waking limb...
pins and needles,
nice to know you,
goodbye!

Deeper than the deepest Cousteau would ever go.
And higher than the heights of what we often think we know.
Blessed she who clearly sees the wood for the trees.
To obtain a 'bird's eye' is to turn a blizzard into a breeze.

I haven't felt the way I feel today
in so long it's hard for me to specify.
I'm beginning to notice how much this feels like a waking limb...
pins and needles,
nice to know you...
goodbye!

So could it be that it has been there all along?

So you wanted
to take a break
Slow it down some and
have some space
Well fuck you too

Song for the Dumped ~ Ben Folds

No folks, I have not been dumped in the conventional sense, but I do have these feelings and am in a similar situation. Hell, I tell you!

[Indiana Sev]

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And pass your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you-

Missing ~ Everything But The Girl

I missed posting my lyric of the day for Saturday, so "Missing" seems appropriate.

[Morgana]

I'll tell you this...
No eternal reward will forgive us now
For wasting the dawn.

Back in those days everything was simpler and more confused
One summer night, going to the pier
I ran into two young girls
The blonde one was called Freedom
The dark one, Enterprise
We talked and they told me this story
Now listen to this...
I'll tell you about Texas radio and the big beat
Soft driven, slow and mad

Reaching your head with the cold, sudden fury of a divine messenger
Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god
Wandering, wandering in hopeless night
Out here in the perimeter there are no stars

Out here we is stoned
Immaculate.

The Doors - Stoned Immaculate

I'm actually sort of "drunk immaculate", but this song fits the mood nonetheless.

Well here's one for you then sweetie:

I'm on the nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
Ready to crash and burn
I'll never learn
I'm on the nightrain
I love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
I can never get enough
I'm on the nightrain
Never to return - no

Truer words were never spoken.:D (In best Homer Simpson voice) "It's funny cause it's true!"

[Shakamaker]

I got stopped by a lady cop
In my automobile
She said get out and spead your legs
And then she tried to cop a feel
That cop she was all dressed in blue
Was she pretty? Boy I'm tellin' you
She stuck my butt with her big black stick
I said "what's up?" now suck my dick
Like a ram getting ready to jam the lamb
She whimpered just a little when she felt my hand
On her crotch so very warm
I could feel her getting wet through her uniform
Proppin' her up on the black and white
Unzipped and slipped "ooo that's tight"
I swatted her like no swat team can
Turned a cherry pie right into jam

I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night, I'll softly stay
A silent prayer, like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep and dream
My dreams of you

In Dreams ~ Roy Orbison

I'm going to sleep and I'm hoping to have dreams as pleasant as this song...

[notchreturns]

You and I
Ah, the calm below that poisoned the river wild
You and I
Tears that dry on a rude awakened child
Where you look down
I’ve walked before
Burning holes
With eyes of liquid brown
If we had only known
In a way
We wouldn’t reach this ground
You were my only home
Silver eyes
I want to see you shine
And we will feel the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for the true
You and I, you and I, you and I
All for you
Where you think you’ll fall
I adore you
Where you shut your soul
I will open for you
If we had only known
In a way
We’d never reach this ground
I'll know
Silver eyes
I can see us shine
I said, we will feel the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for a true
You and I, you and I, you and I
All for you.

You and I Jeff Buckley

[Reigh Kaufman]

"Imagine the future, woke up with a scream, I was buying some feelings from a vending machine"

Life Is An Ocean - The Verve

[BadCoverVersion]

While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn

He'll never return it
So when you come back
We'll have to make new love

He'll never return it
When you come back
We'll have to make new love

Unravel - Bjork

[Morgana]

No more nightmares, I've seen them all
from the day I was born, they've haunted my every move
every open hand's there to push and shove
no time for love. It doesn't matter.

I Don't Believe in Love - Queensryche

[jackson13]

Today is a combination of a bunch of Linkin Park songs.


"One Step Closer"

I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
shut up when I'm talking to you



"Runaway"

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind


"In the end"

I tried
so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter


"Somewhere I belong"

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong.

[quoth_the_raven]

I once had a girlfriend
But then one day she dumped me
And everywhere I'd go
People would ask me
Where she was
I don't want to talk about her
But someone always asks about her
So I tell them all my girlfriend's dead

I say it's leukemia
Or sometimes bulimia
Or a great big truck ran her over
And chopped off her head
I don't want to talk about her
But someone always asks about her
So I tell them all she's dead

I guess there's a part of me
That likes the sympathy
Of the looks on their faces
When I tell them how she passed away
I don't want to talk about her
But someone always asks about her
So i tell them all she's dead

My girlfriend's dead
My girlfriend's dead you see
It's a total lie
But it's easier on me
Than having to admit
That she likes someone else

My girlfriend's dead
My girlfriend's dead you know
Please change the subject
Or I'm going to go
Jump off a building
And join her in hell
I don't want to talk about her
But someone always asks about her
So I tell them all she's dead

I once had a girlfriend
But then one day she dumped me
And everywhere I'd go
People would ask me
Where she was
I don't want to talk about her
But someone always asks about her
So I tell them all my girlfriend's dead
I don't want to talk about her
But someone always asks about her
So I tell them all my girlfriend's dead




My Girlfriends Dead by The Vandals

[SykkBoy]

I'm a little grouchy today and in one of those world genocide moods, so playing the song stylings of Slayer

and the lyrics to "South Of Heaven" come to mind

Chaos rampant
An age of distrust
Confrontations
Impulsive Habitat

on and on, south of heaven

[Indiana Sev]

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

Wild World ~ Cat Stevens

Some great lyrics from an underrated singer/songwriter

[BadCoverVersion]

I've been humming this bastard for days,

You're the devil in me I brought in from the cold
You said your body was young but your mind was very old
You're coming on strong and I like the way
The visions we had have faded away
You're part of a life I've never had
I'll tell you that it's just too bad
I'll tell you that it's just too bad...


On...and on...

Chemical Brothers - Setting Sun

[quoth_the_raven]

Well, hey hey
When I first came to town, people
I was walking down Hastings Street
I heard everybody talking about
Henry's Swing Club
I dropped in there that night
I did the boogie
I did the boogie, boogie
I did the boogie
Yeah, hey hey
One night I was laying down
Well I heard,
My mama and papa talking
About the boogie.
Do you wanna boogie
Do you wanna boogie
Do the boogie now
Hey hey hey hey
I'm gonna tell you something
One night when I was laying down
I heard, I heard, I heard..
Do the boogie...
Feel good, feel good, feel good, feel good...
Feel.. feel.. feel.. feel.. feel..
Thank you...


Boogie Chillin by John Lee Hooker

[SubMethod]

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display
your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear you
calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
take that frown and break it,
Before the evening's gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,
Well I turn around to look at you,
you light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
but we've never met,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
and it being late, you'd like some some company,
Well I turn around to look at you,
and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split,
the chair next to you's free,
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you,
you're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face,
guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.

I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You - Tom Waits

[Annie Hall]

This song has been TORMENTING me all day. Botched a good game of pool because of it. "8 ball corner pocket...should I stay or should I go...DAMN!" It was just bad news.


Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?

Always tease tease tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day is fine, next is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I Stay or should I go?

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

This indecision's bugging me
(Esta undecision me molesta)
If you don't want me, set me free
(Si no me quieres, librame)
Exactly who'm I'm supposed to be
(Diga me que tengo ser)
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
(?Saves que robas me querda?)
Come on and let me know
(Me tienes que desir)
Should I cool it or should I blow?
(?Me debo ir o quedarme?)

Should I Stay or should I Go

[Psychocandy]

A nice cheery song...

Disintegration by The Cure

Oh I miss the kiss of treachery the shameless
Kiss of vanity the soft and the black and the
Velvety up tight against the side of me and
Mouth and eyes and heart all bleed and run in
Thickening streams of greed as bit by bit it
Starts the need to just let go my party piece

Oh I miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss
Before I feed the stench of a love for a younger
Meat and the sound that it makes when it cuts
In deep the holding up on bended knees the
Addiction of duplicities as bit by bit it starts
The need to just let go my party piece

But I never said I would stay to the end so i
Leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
Screaming me over and over and over I leave
You with photographs pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both us knew how the ending would be...

So it's all come back round to breaking apart
Again breking apart like I'm made up of glass
Again making it up behind my back again
Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
Holding it up behind my head again cut in deep
To the heart of the bone again round and round
And round and it's coming apart again over and
Over and over

Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll
Pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone
Crying for sympathy crocodile cry for the love
Of the crowd and the three cheers from
Everyone dropping through sky through the
Glass of the roof through the roof of your mouth
Through the mouth of your eye through the eye
Of the needle it's easier for me to get closer to
Heaven than ever feel whole again

I never said I would stay to the end I knew i
Would leave you with babies and everything
Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
Screaming me over and over and over I leave
You with photographs pictues of trickery
Stains on the carpet and stains on the memory
Songs about
Happiness murmured in dreams when we both
Of us knew how the end always is...

How the end always is...

[BadCoverVersion]

Pale pubescent beasts roam through the streets and coffee-shops...
Their prey, gather in herds with stiff knee-length skirts and white ankle-socks.
But while they search for a mate my type hibernates in bedrooms above...
Composing their songs of love.

Young, uniform minds in uniform lines and uniform ties...
Run round with trousers on fire, and signs of desire they cannot disguise.
While I try to find words as light as the birds that circle above...
To put in my songs of love.

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice,
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice.

So sing while you have time, let the sun shine down from above...

...and fill you with songs of love.


Songs Of Love - The Divine Comedy

[Indiana Sev]

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

Together they would travel on boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name, oh

(CHORUS)

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giants's rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
So, Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave, oh

(CHORUS)

Puff The Magic Dragon ~ Peter, Paul and Mary

I admit to liking folk music, yes. :cool:

This is a very sad song. Even though it probably really is about pot.

[Shakamaker]

The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
this town has dragged you down
oh the rain falls hard on a humdrum town
this town has dragged you down

And everybody's got to live their life
and God knows I've got to live mine
God knows I've got to live mine

William, William it was really nothing
William, William it was really nothing
it was your life

How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say:
"Would you like to marry me
and if you like you can buy the ring"
she doesn't care about anything
"Would you like to marry me
and if you like you can buy the ring"
I don't dream about anyone
except myself

William, William it was really nothing
William, William

'William It Was Really Nothing' - The Smiths

Change (In the House of Flies) - Deftones

I've watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire

I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
I've watched you change

I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed

I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
I watched you change

It's like you never had...
annhh-ahah (6 x)

I look at the cross
Then I look away
Give you the gun
Blow me away

I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
I've watched you change
And you feel alive
You feel alive (2 x)
I've watched you change
It's like you never had wings ahhh ahh ahh...
Annhh-ahah (6 x)
You change (3 x)


Today (actually the last four) haven't been going too well.

[Morgana]

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

Downtown Train - Rod Stewart

[Indiana Sev]

Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burnin'
And I'm filled with desire

Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart


Heat Wave ~ Martha & The Vandellas

Good song, bad weather.

I'm sick and tired of this heat wave. I hate the summer! :mad:

I'm counting the days until the fall...

[quoth_the_raven]

El Scorcho, Rock n'Roll!
Goddamn you half-Japanese girls
do it to me every time
Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
And I'm jello, baby
But you won't talk won't look, won't think of me
I'm the epitome
of Public Enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me

(chorus):
I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me

I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them
How cool is that?
So I went to your room and read your diary
"Watching grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table"
And then my heart stopped:
"Listening to Cho Cho San 'fall in love all over again'."

(Chorus)
I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me

How stupid is it?
I can't talk about it
I gotta sing about it
And make a record of my heart
How stupid is it?
Won't you gimme a minute?
Just come up to me
And say hello to my heart
How stupid is it?
For all I know you want me too
Or maybe you just don't know what to do
And maybe you're scared to say
"I'm falling for you"

I wish I could get my head outta the sand
'cause I think we'd make a good team
And you would keep my fingernails clean
But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
'cause I can't even look in your eyes without shakin'
And I ain't fakin'
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon

(Chorus)I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me

El Scorcho by Weezer

[Annie Hall]

It's been one of those evenings


I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

~The Blower's Daughter. Damien Rice

[Shakamaker]

And into the sea goes pretty england and me
Around the bay of biscay and back for tea
Hit traffic on the dogger bank
Up the thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide and go asleep
And the radio says

(chorus)
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you are alone it will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo

On the tyne forth and cramity
There's a low in the high forties
And saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough dear
On the malin head, blackpool looks blue and red
And the queen, she's gone round the bend
Jumped off land's end

[BadCoverVersion]

Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mammy's hero.

Mourning in the aerodrome,
The weather warmer, he is colder.
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier.

'What could he do?
Should have been a rock star.'
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
'What could he do?
Should have been a politician.'
But he never had a proper education.
'What could he do?
Should have been a father.'
But he never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers.

Tears o'er a tin box.
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Like a chicken with a fox,
He couldn't win the war with ego.

Give the kid the pick of pips,
And give him all your stripes and ribbons.
Now he's sitting in his hole,
He might as well have buttons and bows.

'What could he do?
Should have been a rock star.'
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
'What could he do?
Should have been a politician.'
But he never had a proper education.
'What could he do?
Should have been a father.'
But he never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of all that
Army dreamers,
Army dreamers,
Army dreamers, oh...

('B.F.P.O.')
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
Army dreamers.
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
('Mammy's hero.')
('B.F.P.O.')
Army Dreamers.
('Mammy's hero.')
('B.F.P.O.')
No harm heroes.
('Mammy's hero.')
('B.F.P.O.')
Army dreamers.
('Mammy's hero.')
('B.F.P.O.')
No harm heroes.


Army Dreamers - Kate Bush

[quoth_the_raven]

I don't get many things right the first time.
In fact, I am told that a lot.
Now I know all the wrong turns and stumbles and falls brought me here.
And where was I before the day
that I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it every day.
And I know
that I am, I am,
I am the luckiest.

What if I'd been born fifty years before you
in a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike,
would I know?
And in a wide sea of eyes,
I see one pair that I recognize.
And I know
that I am, I am,
I am the luckiest.

I love you more than I have
ever found a way to say to you.

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
and one day passed away in his sleep.
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
and passed away.
I'm sorry, I know that's a
strange way to tell you that I know we belong,
that I know that I am, I am
I am the luckiest.


The Luckiest-Ben Folds

[Indiana Sev]

Trees swayin' in the summer breeze
Showin' off their silver leaves
As we walked by

Soft kisses on a summer's day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I

Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky

They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No no no no

And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you

A Summer Song ~ Chad & Jeremy

Another sticky, humid scorcher today. :( :mad:

Anyway, I love this song so I thought I'd include it. It's also from the amazing Rushmore.

[Rated R]

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red out of her head she sang

Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow out you wanted it to be
Over my head, out of my head she sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She said

Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head out of my head i sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She said

And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

[Shakamaker]

sway

Don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes, when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
Don't let me drown, let me down
I say it's all because of you
And here I go, losing my control
I'm practising your name so I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time to tell you why
I say it's infintely true

CHORUS:
Say you'll stay, don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way, yeah I need to know
All about you

And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon

- Bic Runga

[Indiana Sev]

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of ~ U2

After New Year's Day, my favorite U2 song.

[quoth_the_raven]

good choice sev...

[quoth_the_raven]

Ooh, Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much, I set it up.

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep on with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I have said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool,
fool
Oh no I've said too much, I haven't said enough

Consider this, consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
on my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing aground
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep on with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I hadn't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, Cry, Try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream

Nothing could be bring me closer
Nothing could be bring me near
Where is the road I follow?
Believing, leave
It's under, under, under my feet
The scene spread out there before me
Better I go where the land touches the sea
There is my trust in what I believe

That's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me down,
To leave it, believe it,
Leave it all behind

GREAT CHOICES QUOTH & ANNIE!!!

I'll just keep the R.E.M lyrics rolling along with one of their best (and my favorite) songs.


When the day is long and the night , the night is yours alone ,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life , well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes .
Sometimes everything is wrong . Now it's time to sing along .
When your day is night alone , (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life , well hang on.
Everybody hurts . Take comfort in your friends .
Everybody hurts . Don't throw your hand . Oh, no. Don't throw your hand .
If you feel like you're alone , no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life , the days and nights are long ,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well , everybody hurts sometimes ,
everybody cries . And everybody hurts sometimes .
And everybody hurts sometimes . So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade )
(Everybody hurts . You are not alone .)

Everybody Hurts ~ R.E.M

[Morgana]

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity...Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday......Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday......Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday......We can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye...she had become like they are
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

I'm in a goofy mood, I dig this song...but I think it needs MORE COWBELL! :)

[Indiana Sev]

I love that song, Morgana.

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

Changes ~ David Bowie

I chose this because it's one of my favorite Bowie songs and because I've been making some changes lately...

[flowrchild]

Well... you didn't wake up this morning,
'cause you didn't go to bed.
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red!

The calendar on your wall -- is ticking-- the days off.

You've been reading some old letters.
You smile and think how much you've changed.
All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days.

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes.
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.
THIS IS THE DAY -- Your life will surely change.
THIS IS THE DAY -- When things fall into place.

You could've done anything, if you'd wanted.
And all your friends and family think that you're lucky.
But the side of you they'll never see
Is when you're left alone with the memories
That hold your life together like -- glue

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes.
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.
THIS IS THE DAY -- Your life will surely change.
THIS IS THE DAY -- When things fall into place.

THIS IS THE DAY -- Your life will surely change.
(repeat to fade)

This Is The Day- (The The)

[Annie Hall]

When Annis roared and jeered
I knew that no one leaves from here
Her fervid anger don't spare anything
In the frenzy of my senses
She confiscated my defenses
With all the forces of night

When Annis built this cage
I saw the blueprint on the table
But I was too young to run
She lured me from my play
To her clandestine domain
To tend her illicit garden

Black, black soul

Black Annis ~ Solas

Has anyone ever heard of this band?

I've always loved that song too, Sev. I used to think it was kind of spooky, but after that "MORE COWBELL!" SNL skit, it'll never be the same for me again. :)


My lyrics for today...

We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night by trick of light
But I must take another journey
We must meet with other names

You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me now free me
Don't watch me cry just see me go
I'll take away the strongest feelings
You will ever know

There will be no more isolation in our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply you rescued me
Now free me

We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
If you hold me you will hurt me
Be brave

There will be no more isolation in our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply you rescued me
Now free me

We are matching spark and flame
Caught in endless repetition
Life for life we'll be the same
I must leave before you burn me
I am the stranger who deserts you only to love you
In another life

There will be no more isolation in our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me I'll bear one precious scar that only you will know

Secret Separation - The Fixx

I'm dedicating this song to a very good friend of mine.

[Indiana Sev]

She is soft, she is warm,
But my heart remains heavy,
And I watch as her breasts
Gently rise, gently fall,
For I know with the first light of dawn
I'll be leaving,
And tonight will be
All I have left to recall.

Wednesday Morning, 3 a.m ~ Simon & Garfunkel

I can't feel cause I'm numb
I can't feel cause I'm numb

So what's the worth in all of this

If the child is dead
Sing to me

Anyway, I've been to a wedding this weekend, and I drank far too much lemonade and sang FAR too much on the good ol' karaoke.

I haven't been able to get this particular smasher out of my head (I expect some guests have been plagued with nightmarish flashbacks too)...

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans
Honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say
We'll do okay
Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, you and I
All alone by the fire
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe

Forever In Blue Jeans - Neil Diamond

Thank you. :)

To flowrchild...

When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up
Even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin'
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together baby
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me
Knockin' at your door

You've Got A Friend ~ James Taylor

this is one of the best songs to play Loud with all the windows open. i do love summer ;)

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of spades

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades

Ok, I've been watching A LOT of Mad About You lately. Seriously, the most was 13 episodes in a row (6 and 1/2 hours). Vacation is a sweet, sweet thing. Since the vacation is coming to a close, here is what I wanna hear

Tell me why,
I love you like I do,
Tell me who,
Can stop my heart as much as you,

Tell me all your secrets
and I'll tell you most of mine,
they say nobody's perfect
but that's really true this time,

I don't have the answers,
I don't have a plan,

Mad about you baby

The Final Frontier

[Shakamaker]

Well, a four-day weekend is approaching mid-August! This is the song that always makes me want to fuck off down the coast and ride horses along the beach. Nothing like it. So that's where I'm going.

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

- Morcheeba, 'The Sea'.

[Indiana Sev]

You and I, we’re two of a kind,
I hate to say it but you’ll never relate,
what makes you tick?
It makes me smile.
You said that I should get away from it all,
and bury my head in the sand if I want to,
I think you ...should thank me now.

You were lying wide awake in the garden
trying to get over your stardom
and I could never see you depart us
and you’re my baby,
you’re just another girl
you’re just another girl

I never mind the way I had to see ya,
my working on a day show never explains why I see you
and I feel your pain.
I love to wear my work inside of my head,
I can’t complain but you should never react the way you did,
I feel your time.

You were lying wide awake in the garden
trying to get over your stardom
and I could never see you depart us
and you’re my baby

You were lying wide awake in the garden
trying to get over your stardom
and I could never see you depart us
and you’re my baby,
you’re just another girl,
you're just another girl,
you're just another girl

Just Another ~ Pete Yorn

This song always gets to me...:)

[flowrchild]

Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on (you can count me)
I can see it's hurting you
I can feel the pain
It's hard to see the sunshine
Through the rain, oh
I know sometimes it seems as if
It's never gonna end
But you'll get through it
Just don't give in 'cause you can

Count On Me- Whitney Houston

[notchreturns]

In a haze
In a stormy haze

Always.

Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
From wherever you are, I'll be waiting
I'll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you

This journey's not easyfor you, I know
If your footsteps get too faint to hear, I'll go
Cos you know, quesations are never that easy
And never the same
You have the answer believe me
If you have the faith

Find a way to my heart...

Time may come, and time may go, I know
If you should call out for me, I'll go
But you know, there is a code to be broken
I wrap it around
Without a word being spoken
Without a sound

Ther's a reason I hide my heart
Out of sight out of mind
And when I find out just who you are
The door will be open for you to..

Find a way to my heart...

Find A Way To My Heart- Phil Collins

[Indiana Sev]

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

I'm Still Standing ~ Elton John

Because I'm picking up the pieces and still standing too. :)

[Morgana]

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and gay
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me today
I feel charming
Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real

I Feel Pretty - Natalie Wood in West Side Story

My English teacher wanted to flunk me in junior high
Thanks a lot, next semester I'll be thirty-five
I smacked him in his face with an eraser, chased him with a stapler
and stapled his nuts to a stack of papers (Owwwwwwww!)
Walked in the strip club, had my jacket zipped up
Flashed the bartender, then stuck my dick in the tip cup
Extraterrestrial, runnin over pedestrians
in a spaceship while they screamin at me: "LET'S JUST BE FRIENDS!"
Ninety-nine percent of my life I was lied to
I just found out my mom does more dope than I do (Damn!)
I told her I'd grow up to be a famous rapper
Make a record about doin drugs and name it after her (Oh thank you!)
You know you blew up when the women rush your stands
and try to touch your hands like some screamin Usher fans (Aaahhhhhh!)
This guy at White Castle asked for my autograph
(Dude, can I get your autograph?)
So I signed it: 'Dear Dave, thanks for the support, ASSHOLE!'

LOL :D

Yes, I admit, I like a lot of his songs.

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "do you speak-a my language? "
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"i come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty? "
And he said,

"oh! do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Expiate, to make amends for hostilities
It's easy to see that for me, in reality
I'm not one of those fools
With an ecclesiastical whitewash
To set my ethical standards
You'll never catch me lookin' to Ann Landers
Or Moses or the law or even Buddha
If there's one thing I know
It's always be true to myself
And learn from experience

Right Now- 311

So Far Away - Stain'd

Now that we're here
So Far Away
All the struggle
We thought was in vain
All in the mistakes
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, So Far Away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
I’m not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

[electriclite]

Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first Beatles song
Love Me Do, I think it was and from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night
Now he's in a rock & roll outfit, and everything's all right

Don't you know?

Johnny told his Momma, Hey Momma I'm goin' away
I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday
Momma came to the door with a tear drop in her eye
Johnny said, Don't cry Momma smile & wave goodbye


(Chorus)
Don't you know, yeah, yeah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are

Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song
Watching the world go by, surprisin' it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said, Well, I made the big time at last

Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, woah yeah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, yeah
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are, a shooting star

Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleepin' tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play

Woah...
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know
Don't you know you are a shooting star


Na, na, na, na..

[Morgana]

Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can't regret
What I did for love, what I did for love.
Look my eyes are dry.
The gift was ours to borrow.
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't forget what I did for love,
What I did for love.
Gone,
Love is never gone.
As we travel on,
Love's what we'll remember.
Kiss today goodbye,
And point me t'ward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for
Love

And all that I saw just kept goin on and on

What You Wish For--Guster

People are strange, when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
People seem wicked, when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven, when you're down

When you're strange- faces come out of the rain (rain, rain)
When you're strange- no one remembers your name
When you're strange, when you're strange, when you're str-ange

The man in me will do nearly any task,
And as for compensation, there's little he would ask.
Take a woman like you
To get through to the man in me.

Storm clouds are raging all around my door,
I think to myself I might not take it any more.
Take a woman like your kind
To find the man in me.

But, oh, what a wonderful feeling
Just to know that you are near,
Sets my a heart a-reeling
From my toes up to my ears.

The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,
But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
Took a woman like you
To get through to the man in me.

Lovely, Bob. Lovely.

Miles from nowhere
I guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there

Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there.

Lord my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end

Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there

I creep through the valleys
And I grope through the woods
'cause I know when I find it my honey
It's gonna make me feel good

I love everything
So don't it make you feel sad
'cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, I'll think to that.

Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it's alright

I have my freedom
I can make my own rules
Oh yeah, the ones that I choose

Lord my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end

Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there.

It's Friday...and I'm in love.

Definitely time for Jarv' and gang.

I took an air-rifle, shot a magpie to the ground...and it died without a sound.
Your skin so pale against the fallen Autumn leaves...and no-one saw us but the trees.

Yeah, the trees, those useless trees...
Produce the air that I am breathing.
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees...
They never said that you were leaving.

I carved your name with a heart just up above - now swollen, distorted, unrecognisable; like our love.
The smell of leaf mould and the sweetness of decay...are the incense at the funeral procession here, today.

I Ran (SO Far Away) by A Flock Of Seagulls

-----------------------------------------------
I walked along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawney eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotise me through
hypnotise me through.

And I ran - I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day - I couldn't get away.

A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining
down on you
shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still
Arora-borealis comes in view
arora comes in view.

And I ran - I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day - I couldn't get away.

Reached out a hand to touch
your face
You're slowly disappearing
from my view
'appearing from my view.
Reaches out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
beam of light with you.

And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day

And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I couldn't get away.

A very good and catchy song indeed. :)

Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go

Give Peace A Chance ~ Plastic Ono Band

This song was recorded live in Montreal at the Queen Elizabeth hotel (a few streets down from where I live) in 1969 during a "bed-in" John Lennon and Yoko Ono were having there.

Big fan of the song and of the man.

[Annie Hall]

One of two VERY groovy songs from this band...and really sums up my current mood.


My, my what a mess we've made
of our pretty little heads these days
It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently
Best wishes have been made for you
You never had no say it's true
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

My, my what a mess was made of my head
when I heard what you'd been through that day
It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently
Letters meant to be sent have been torn
The phone lies off the hook, on the floor
All these "I'm sorry"s and "I miss you"s are useless,
I fucked this one up long ago
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
And although it's all my fault,
the blaming myself had to come to an end
so I say:
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend

[notchreturns]

I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
Yeah, I've got a feeling.

Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
And if you leave me I won't be late again
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
Yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah.

All these years I've been wandering around,
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you.

Ev'rybody had a hard year
Ev'rybody had a good time
Ev'rybody had a wet dream,
Ev'rybody saw the sunshine
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Ev'rybody had a good year,
Ev'rybody let their hair down,
Ev'rybody pulled their socks up,
Ev'rybody put their foot down.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Lyrics for today:

And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

Sunny Afternoon - The Kinks

I'm having a lazy summer afternoon. :)

Fill my eyes with that double vision
No disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when you get through to me
It's always new to me
My double vision gets the best of me

Double Vision ~ Foreigner

:D :p

:D :p

Sev, you Dirty White Boy, you. :D

I actually dig Foreigner. I think Lou Gramm had one of the best voices in rock. Some of Foreigner's lyrics though...well, they put a smile on my face they are so cheesy, in the funniest way.

Ran into the henchman who severed
Anne Boleyn.
he did it right quickly, a merciful man.
She said 1 + 1 is 2,
but Henry said that it was 3
so it was.
Here I am.



Look I'm standing naked before you
Don't you want more than my sex
I can scream as loud as your last one
But I can't claim innocence



God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still coming out of my mother upside down

[sherimoon]

By the by

that was Talula, Leather, and Upside Down by Tori Amos

[notchreturns]

Now the people cry and the people moan
And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils
Fight to claim them for their own

Lake of Fire- Nirvana

[Indiana Sev]

I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
But since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Crying In The Rain ~ The Everly Brothers

One of my favorite songs from one of the best duos in pop music history.

P.S. It's raining today.

[Morgana]

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today
We're born again, there's new grass on the field
Roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel

Oh, put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be center field

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Case struck out
So Say Hey Willie, Taylor Cobb and Joe DiMaggio
Don't say it ain't so" you know the time is now

Oh, put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be center field

Yeah! I got it, I got it

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye

Oh, put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be center field

Centerfield - John Fogerty

I'm actually not the biggest baseball fan, but I'm in a sporty mood, and I've always really liked this song.

[BadCoverVersion]

Noel Coward was a charmer,
As a writer he was brahma.
Velvet jackets and pyjamas,
had a gay divorce and other dramas.

There ain't half been some clever bastards...
Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders.
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Van Gogh did some eyeball pleasers,
He must have been a pencil squeezer.
He didn't do the Mona Lisa,
That was an Italian geezer!

There ain't half been some clever bastards...
Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders.
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Einstein can't be classed as witless.
He claimed atoms were the littlest.
When you did a bit of splitting-em-ness
Frighten everybody shitless

There ain't half been some clever bastards...
Probably got help from their mum,
Who had help from her mum.
There ain't half been some clever bastards...
Now that we've had some,
let's hope that there's lots more to come.

Okey-dokey!
Oh!
Segovia.
Da-laa la-laa da-daa da-lee
De dump di dump de dump-dump-diddle li-lee.

sara, spelled without an H was getting bored
on a peavy amp in 1984
while zak without a "c" tried out some new guitars
playing sara with no H’s favorite song

ladada dadada dadada
ladada dadada dadada
zak and sara

often sara would have spells where she lost time
she saw the future she heard voices from inside
the kind of voices she would soon learn to deny
because at home they got her smacked

ladada dadada dadada
ladada dadada dadada
zak and sara
zak and sara

zak called his dad
about layaway plans
sara told the friendly saleman that
"you'll all die in your cars"
and "why's it gotta be dark?"
and "you're all working in a submarine
asshole"

she saw the lights
she saw a pale english face
some strange machines repeating beats and thumping bass
visions of pills that put you in a loving trance
that make it possible for all white boys to dance
and when zak finished sara's song
sara clapped

ladada dadada dadada
ladada dadada dadada
zak and sara
zak and sara





Zak and Sara by Ben Folds

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true

Louis Armstrong - Blueberry Hill

I'm actually eating blueberries at the moment, this song seems appropriate. :)

I think I wanna know what love is before I decide. Ba-doom-tish! :rolleyes: :D

I was dancing
With your shadow
Slow down memories hall
I said, ’wait. have I been seduced and forgotten? ’
You said, ’baby, haven’t we all!’
Now I don’t like crying
Because it only gets me wet
But I can’t help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know it’s gonna be a long time
And I’m crying like a church on monday

- 'Crying Like A Church On Monday' - New Radicals

[notchreturns]

Oh
Why you look so sad
tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me, now

Don't
Be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side, too


When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less


I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you


I'll Stand By You- The Pretenders

[Annie Hall]

My fake plastic love.
But I can’t help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out.

And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted,
All the time

~Fake Plastic Trees (Radiohead)

[bowieee]

A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer
threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
you knew you were in this song

[Indiana Sev]

When I think of all the worries people seem to find
And how they're in a hurry to complicate their mind
By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true
I'm glad that we are different, we've better things to do
May others plan their future, I'm busy lovin' you (1-2-3-4)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Live for today

Let's Live For Today ~ The Grass Roots

One of my favorite songs ever.

The Grass Roots were so freakin' great....

[Morgana]

Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
