Lyrics Of The Day

[Ninty 182]

Fairytale Of New York

 

 

It was Christmas eve babe

In the drunk tank

An old man said to me, "won't see another one"

And then he sang a song,

'The rare old mountain dew'

I turned my face away

And dreamed about you

 

Got on a lucky one

Came in eighteen to one

I've got a feeling

This years for me and you

So happy christmas

I love you baby

I can see a better time

When all our dreams come true

 

They've got cars big as bars

They've got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you

It's no place for the old

When you first took my hand

On a cold Christmas eve

You promised me

Broadway was waiting for me

 

You were handsome

You were pretty

Queen of New York City

When the band finished playing

They howled out for more.

Sinatra was swinging,

All the drunks they were singing

We kissed on a corner

Then danced through the night.

 

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing 'Galway Bay'

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas Day

 

You're a bum

You're a punk

You're an old slut on junk

Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

You scumbag, you maggot

You cheap lousy faggot

Happy Christmas your arse

I pray God its our last

 

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing 'Galway Bay'

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas Day

 

I could have been someone

Well so could anyone

You took my dreams from me

When I first found you

I kept them with me babe

I put them with my own

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you

 

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing 'Galway Bay'

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas Day

 

 

 

 

The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl

[Slaggis]

I'll sing it one last time for you

Then we really have to go

You've been the only thing that's right

In all I've done

 

And I can barely look at you

But every single time I do

I know we'll make it anywhere

Away from here

 

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you dear

 

Louder louder

And we'll run for our lives

I can hardly speak I understand

Why you can't raise your voice to say

 

To think I might not see those eyes

Makes it so hard not to cry

And as we say our long goodbye

I nearly do

 

Light up...

 

Slower slower

We don't have time for that

All I want is to find an easier way

To get out of our little heads

 

Have heart my dear

We're bound to be afraid

Even if it's just for a few days

Making up for all this mess

[Roostophe]

Bloc Party - The Prayer

 

Lord, give me grace

And dancing feet

And the power to impress

Lord, give me grace

And dancing feet

Let me outshine the moon

 

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?

Second best

Runner up

Is it so wrong to want rewarding?

To want more than is given to you?

Than is given to you?

 

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice,

I will dazzle them with my wit

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice,

I will dazzle I will outshine them all

 

Standing on the packed dancefloor

Our bodies thrown in time

Silent on the weekdays

Tonight I claim what’s mine

 

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?

Second best

Runner up

Is it so wrong to want rewarding?

To want more than is given to you?

Than is given to you?

 

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice,

I will dazzle them with my wit

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice,

I will dazzle I will outshine them all

 

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice,

I will dazzle them with my wit

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice,

I will dazzle I will outshine them all

I'm gonna post the last 3 songs from Demon Days as they all sort of follow onto each other:

 

 

Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head

 

Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain,

There was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived.

Their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world,

Obscured as it was by grey clouds.

Here they played out their peaceful lives,

Innocent of the litany of excess and violence

That was growing in the world below.

To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough.

Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town.

They came in camouflage, hidden behind dark glasses,

But no one noticed them: they only saw shadows.

You see, without the Truth of the Eyes, the Happyfolk were blind.

 

Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes,

Waiting for the sunset to come, people goin' home.

Jump out from behind them and shoot them in the head,

Now everybody's dancing the dance of the dead,

The dance of the dead, the dance of the dead.

 

 

In time, Strangefolk found their way into the high reaches of the mountain,

And it was there that they found the Caves of Unimaginable Sincerity and Giving.

By chance, they stumbled upon the Place Where All Good Souls Come to Rest.

The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things,

And soon they began to mine the mountain, its rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world.

Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly,

Their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls.

Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain.

Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?

And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain,

Holes began to appear, bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of them up.

For the first time, the Happyfolk felt fearful for they knew that soon the Monkey would soon stir from its deep sleep.

And then came a sound.

Distant first, it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space.

There were no screams.

There was no time.

The mountain called Monkey had spoken.

There was only fire.

And then, nothing.

 

O little town in U.S.A, your time has come to see

There's nothing you believe you want

But where were you when it all came down on me?

Did you call me now?

 

Don't Get Lost In Heaven

 

Got off a plane to the countryside,

I drove to the mountain and holding the ground

There was crack on the corner and someone dead,

and fire coming out of the monkey's head

 

Don't get lost in heaven

They got locks on the gate

Don't go over the edge

you'll make a big mistake

 

Put me in a cab to suburbia

I just took a line but I wasn't with you

There was more of it there, when I got back home

But you had left me,you don't know my soul...

You're a whole bad mistake,yeah,you're a whole one...

 

Don't get lost in heaven

They got locks on the gate

Don't go over the edge

you'll make a big mistake

 

Demon Days

 

In demon days, it's cold inside

You don't get nobody, people sigh

It's so bad, lasting far, but love yourself

Hiding in a hole in there

All the glasses are too big

Bring it back, got to hold it back

To let you do that yet you don't want me back

Before it fall down, falling down falling down

Falling out to go far from the sun

 

Well these demon days are so cold inside

It's so hard to live, and so to survive

You can't even trust the air you breathe

Cause Mother Earth has a soul to leave

When lies become reality

You love yourself because it's easy

Pick yourself up it's a brand new day

So turn yourself round

Don't burn yourself, turn yourself

Turn yourself around to the sun

 

To the sun, to the sun...

To the sun, to the sun...

Too Young

 

Baby when I saw you turning at the end of the street

I knew a time was gone and it took me like ages

Just to understand that I was afraid to be a simple guy

I tried my best to smile but deep inside my heart

I felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing

I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Can't you hear it calling oh yeah

Everybody's dancin' oh yeah

Tonight everything is over

I feel too young

 

I can't lie on my bed without thinking I was wrong

But when this feeling calls this world becomes another

Nighttime won't hold me in your arms again

I got a very good friend who says he can't believe the love I give

Is not enough to end your fears

I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Can't you hear it calling oh yeah

Everybody's shakin' oh yeah

Tonight everything is over

I feel too young

 

Oh rainfalls and hard times coming they won't leave me tonight

I wish I knew what I was doing

Just do let this spirit survive

Can't you hear me calling oh yeah

I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Can't you hear me calling oh yeah

Everybody's dancing oh yeah

Tonight everything is over

I feel too young...

Jeff Buckley - Morning Theft

Time takes care of the wound, so I can believe.

You had so much to give, you thought I couldn't see.

Gifts for boot heels to crush, promises deceived

I had to send it away to bring us back again.

 

Your eyes and body brighten silent waters, deep.

Your precious daughter in the other room, asleep.

A kiss "Goodnight" from every stranger that I meet.

I had to send it away to bring us back again.

 

Morning theft, unpretender left, ungrateful.

 

True Self is what brought you here, to me.

A place where we can accept this love.

Friendship battered down by useless history,

Unexamined failure.

 

What am I still to you?

Some thief who stole from you?

Or some fool drama queen whose chances were few?

That brings us to who we need,

a place where we can save

A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir.

You're a woman, I'm a calf.

You're a window, I'm a knife.

We come together making chance into starlight.

Meet me tomorrow night, or any day you want.

I have no right to wonder just how, or when.

And though the meaning fits, there's no relief in this.

I miss my beautiful friend.

I had to send it away to bring her back again.

 

 

 

This song is absolutely fantastic. Perhaps Jeff's best song. I love it so much.

Nizlopi - clear (you might remember this band released one of those novelty christmas records a few years ago... i heard their album playing in HMV before they had to take it off because the song had swearing in it, and really liked their "proper" music... "clear" is the B-side from the

single)

 

(one, two, three, four)

 

wow I'm naked with you,

in this third story oxford,

wow I'm shaking with you,

huge feelings, huge feelings,

wow you feel them too,

but in a different way than i do,

yeah im all girled up bout you,

little in love too, little in love ~

 

but we didnt get it clear,

no we didnt get it clear,

(hmmmmmnnnn)

 

'cause I need someone to,

really give myself up to,

and you want it too,

our hearts are open but,

are rarely spoken to by anyone,

that language frightens them,

woo!

 

And your not made of iron,

in fact your more scared than I am,

in fact you're more scared than me,

and you got less power than men,

cause men have driven you crazy,

and we never get it clear,

no we never get it clear

 

cause I need some one to,

really give myself up to,

and you want it too,

our hearts are open but,

are rarely spoken to by anyone,

that language frightens them,

 

cause though I miss you,

when I kiss you,

we rarely let go,

and I want to go,

off to that feeling,

off to the ceiling,

whats this hour in,

where we only just begin?

 

What'd you do when you're blown apart, thrown apart?

Love is hard like Napoleon Bonaparte,

you loose and the blues speak through you,

who can deny a voice that is so true?

I'm amazed by you darling,

Even though you treat me like joseph Stalin,

I'm gonna train my heart like a shoalin,

Monk, that'll never throw the towel in,

 

Cause I need someone to,

Really give myself up to

And you want it too,

our hearts are open

but are rarely spoken to by anyone

That language frightens them

 

So clear your room out

clear your mind out out

clear your eyes out

lets get it clear now

clear your soul out

lets get it clear now

you pour your heart out

you pour your heart out, to me oh

 

EDIT: ever-so exciting update: after posting this, i started looking through youtube for a decent video of "clear", and found a few videos of live shows.. i thought "ooh it'd be good to see them live, i wonder if they're playing anywhere..?" and to my surprise they're playing their "last gig for ages" right down the road from me next week!!!

so... yay! looking forward to it XD

Writer in the Sun

 

The days of wine and roses are distant days for me.

I dream of the last and the next affair and of girls I'll never see.

And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun,

The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue,

The retired writer in the sun.

 

Tonight I trod in the starlight, I excused myself with a grin.

I ponder the moon in a silver spoon and the little one 'live within.

And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun,

The retired writer in the sun.

 

The magazine girl poses on my glossy paper aeroplane

Too many years I spent in the City playing with Mr. Loss and Gain.

And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun,

The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue,

The retired writer in the sun.

 

I bathe in the sun of the morning, lemon circles swim in the tea

Fishing for time with a wishing line and throwing it back in the sea.

And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun,

The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue,

The retired writer in the sun

If I Ever Feel Better

 

They say an end can be a start

Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive

It's like a bad day that never ends

I feel the chaos around me

A thing I don't try to deny

I'd better learn to accept that

There are things in my life that I can't control

They say love ain't nothing but a sore

I don't even know what love is

Too many tears have had to fall

Don't you know I'm so tired of it all

I have known terror dizzy spells

Finding out the secrets words won't tell

Whatever it is it can't be named

There's a part of my world that' s fading away

You know I don't want to be clever

To be brilliant or superior

True like ice, true like fire

Now I know that a breeze can blow me away

Now I know there's much more dignity

In defeat than in the brightest victory

I'm losing my balance on the tight rope

Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

Hang on to the good days

I can lean on my friends

They help me going through hard times

But I'm feeding the enemy

I'm in league with the foe

Blame me for what's happening

I can't try, I can't try, I can't try...

No one knows the hard times I went through

If happiness came I miss the call

The stormy days ain't over

I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost

Now I've watched all my castles fall

They were made of dust, after all

Someday all this mess will make me laugh

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait...

If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

It's like somebody took my place

I ain't even playing my own game

The rules have changed well I didn't know

There are things in my life I can't control

I feel the chaos around me

A thing I don't try to deny

I'd better learn to accept that

There's a part of my life that will go away

Dark is the night, cold is the ground

In the circular solitude of my heart

As one who strives a hill to climb

I am sure I'll come through I don't know how

They say an end can be a start

Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive

I'm losing my balance on the tight rope

Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...

If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better

 

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better

 

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know.

Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days

 

And you ask me what i want this year

and i try to make this good and clear

just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

 

cause i don't need boxes wrapped in strings

and designer love and empty things,

just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

 

Chorus:

so take these words

and sing out loud

cause everyone is forgiven now

cause tonight's the night the world begins again

 

and its someplace simple where we could live

and something only you can give

and let's faith and trust and peace while we're alive

 

and the one poor child who saved this world

and there's 10 million more who probably could

if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

 

so take these words

and sing out loud

cause everyone is forgiven now

cause tonight's the night the world begins again

 

i wish everyone was loved tonight

and somehow stop this endless fight

just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

 

so take these words

and sing out loud

cause everyone is forgiven now

cause tonight's the night the world begins again

 

cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I really like 'Rally' by them, never got round to listening to anymore.

 

Today is not very musicey. I still have "Kill Monsters In The Rain" on loop in my brain, and She Falls Asleep by McFly sparked a lightbulb moment. So I guess those lyrics would be the lyrics of the day.

Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors - Editors

 

Pull the blindfold down

So your eyes can't see

Now run as fast as you can

Through this field of trees

 

Say goodbye to everyone you have ever known

You are not gonna see them ever again

I can't shake this feeling I've got

My dirty hands

Have I been in the wars?

The saddest thing that I'd ever seen

Were smokers outside the hospital doors

 

Someone turn me around

Can I start this again?

 

How can we wear our smiles

With our mouths wired shut

'Cause you stopped us from singing

 

I can't shake this feeling I've got

My dirty hands

Have I been in the wars?

The saddest thing that I'd ever seen

Were smokers outside the hospital doors

 

Someone turn me around

Can I start this again?

Now someone turn us around

Can we start this again?

 

We've all been changed from what we were

Our broken hearts left smashed on the floor

I can't believe you if I can't hear you

I can't believe you if I can't hear you

 

We've all been changed from what we were

Our broken hearts smashed on the floor

We've all been changed from what we were

Our broken hearts smashed on the floor

 

Someone turn me around

Can I start this again?

Now someone turn us around

Can we start this again?

I really like 'Rally' by them, never got round to listening to anymore.

Happy Christmas

 

So this is Christmas

And what have you done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

Ans so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and the dear one

The old and the young

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas

For weak and for strong

For rich and the poor ones

The world is so wrong

And so happy Christmas

For black and for white

For yellow and red ones

Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas

And what have we done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

Ans so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and the dear one

The old and the young

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

War is over over

If you want it

War is over

Now...

Wound - Smashing Pumpkins

 

There you are

As you always were

In bathing light

And naked blur

You're a part of me

Eternal One

By grand design

And setting sun

 

If you wait I will wait

Taste I will taste

If you love I will love

Run I will run

To my last breath

 

Last night I turned around

and thought I saw myself turning

Inside the strangest dream

of life unloved and cities burning

 

Awake in my arms

You cry unharmed

Our age of the hours

While they still devour all

So take it all

I doubt if we

Will know it's gone

Cause we've been here

Since time began

Begged god awake

and make these plans

 

Wound opens

Reveal this broken man

And soon there's notions

of blood on his hands

If you wait I will wait

Taste I will taste

If you love I will love

Run I will run

To my last breath

 

Last night I turned around

I thought I saw myself turning

Last night I turned around

and thought I watched the world ending

Inside the crushing down

I felt a pang the tide was turning

 

Destroyed in the wake

The jealous ingrates

Who'll tear this world down

To spite god above

With his own love

With his own love

 

If you wait

If you wait

If you wait I will wait

Taste I will taste

If you love I will love

Run I will run

To my last breathe

 

United States - Smashing Pumpkins

 

Tired eyes

Closed for days

There's no regret

'Cause there's no place

I don’t know

What I believe

But if I feel safe

What do I need

A home

A home

 

Revolution

Revolution blues

What will they do

Revolution

Revolution

Revolution blues

What will they do to me

What will they do to me

What will they do to me

what will they do to me

 

Dulcet tongues

Whisper fast

The future yearns

Right now’s the past

Rouse me soon

The end draws nigh

Who's side are you on

Your blood you cannot buy

 

Revolution

Revolution

Revolution blues

What will they do

Revolution

Revolution

Revolution blues

What will they do to you

 

Well I

I feel alright

So tonight

I got to ask you why

Why deny it

It's no surprise

I've got to survive

 

Freedom shines the light ahead

I'll lead the last charge to bed

I said my last rights

I don’t have to run scared no more

 

Fight

I wanna fight

I wanna fight a revolution

Tonight

I wanna fight

I wanna fight a revolution

Tonight

At the light

At the light

Do you wanna watch me die

 

Let me be something good

Let me prove something real like I should

Let me embrace every single living thing

Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood

And I feel that time's a wasted go

So where ya going to tomorrow?

And I see that these are lies to come

Would you even care?

And I feel it

And I feel it

 

Where ya going to tomorrow?

Where ya going with that mask I found?

And I feel, and I feel

When the dogs begin to smell her

Will she smell alone?

 

And I feel, so much depends on the weather

So is it raining in your bedroom?

And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray

Would you even care?

 

And I feel it

And she feels it

 

Where ya going to tomorrow?

Where ya going with that mask I found?

And I feel, and I feel

When the dogs begin to smell her

Will she smell alone?

 

When the dogs do find her

Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow

Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas

 

They said there'll be snow at Christmas

They said there'll be peace on Earth

But instead it just kept on raining

A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth

 

I remember one Christmas morning

A winters light and a distant choir

And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell

And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

 

They sold me a dream of Christmas

They sold me a Silent Night

And they told me a fairy story

'Till I believed in the Israelite

 

And I believed in Father Christmas

And I looked at the sky with excited eyes

I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn

And I saw him and through his disguise

 

I wish you a hopeful Christmas

I wish you a brave New Year

All anguish pain and sadness

Leave your heart and let your road be clear

 

They said there'll be snow at Christmas

They said there'll be peace on Earth

Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell

The Christmas we get we deserve.

I'm Only Sleeping

 

When I wake up early in the morning, lift my head, I'm still yawning

When I'm in the middle of a dream, stay in bed, float upstream

 

Please don't wake me, no don't shake me, leave me where I am

I'm only sleeping

 

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,

taking my time,

Lying there staring at the ceiling,

waiting for a sleeping feeling

 

Everybody seem to think I'm lazy, I don't mind I think they're crazy

Running everywhere at such a speed, till they find, there's no need

 

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away, and after all

I'm only sleeping

 

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,

taking my time,

Lying there staring at the ceiling,

waiting for a sleeping feeling

Reverend and the Makers - State of Things

 

While some sore heads will rue last night’s endeavours

Make Sunday’s vow that they won’t get so leathered

Dads shout at lads so they foul number seven

There’s no need for fighting; they’re only eleven

A little introduction to the state of things

 

What of the woman, who stands by her fella,

Despite the bruises brought on by the Stella

To cook and to clothe and to clean and to screw

Is not the sum total of all she can do

 

They claim that the threats high, oh do me a favour

Control you by fear so you don't know your neighbour

Tube station at midnight, shoot them on sight

Hearts beating faster on jubilee line

 

The football fans fight cos United's at home

It's futile as bald men fighting for a comb

Adam gives Keeley what Donna gave him

Keeley shags Richard then gives it to Jim

 

I'm making you aware of the state of things

A little introduction to the state of things

I'm aching to sing about the state of things

Bet they don't teach you at school about the state of things

 

And then there's the woman who's there in the station

Whose white lightning refuge is inebriation

Some wench on park bench contrasts to your cash

She's not gonna kill ya or give ya a rash

 

I'm making you aware of the state of things

A little introduction to the state of things

I'm aching to sing about the state of things

Because we're all run by fools that's the state of things

I'm telling you straight about the state of things

1 9 8 4 the state of things

It cuts me wide open the state of things

I am The Reverend and i'll tell you about the state of things

Hey, what's the big idea?

 

Yo Mika.

 

I said,

suckin' too hard on your lollipop,

oh love's gonna get you down,

I said,

suckin' too hard on your lollipop,

oh love's gonna get you down.

 

Suckin' too hard on your lollipop,

oh love's gonna get you down,

suckin' too hard on your lollipop,

oh love's gonna get you down.

Say love, say love,

oh love's gonna get you down.

say love, say love,

oh love's gonna get you down.

 

I went walking with my mama one day,

when she warned me what people say,

"live your life until love is found,

couse' love's gonna get you down."

 

"Take a look at the girl next door,

she's a player and a downright bore,

Jesus loves her, she wants more,

oh bad girls get you down.

 

Singin'

Suckin' too hard on your lollipop,

oh love's gonna get you down,

suckin' too hard on your lollipop,

oh love's gonna get you down.

Say love, say love,

oh love's gonna get you down.

say love, say love,

oh love's gonna get you down.

 

 

Mama told me what I should know,

too much candy gonna rot your soul,

if she loves you, let her go,

couse' love only get's you down.

[Lollipop lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

 

 

Take a look at a boy like me,

never stood on my own two feet,

now I'm blue, as I can be,

oh love couldn't get me down.

 

Singing,

suckin' too hard on ya lollipop,

oh love's gonna get ya down,

suckin' too hard on ya lollipop,

oh love's gonna get ya down.

Say love, say love,

oh love's gonna get ya down.

say love, say love,

oh love's gonna get ya down.

 

I went walking with my mama one day,

when she warned me what people say,

live your life until love is found,

or love's gonna get you down.

Until It's Time To Go

 

You're not a dream, you're not an angel, you're a man;

I'm not a queen, I'm a woman, take my hand;

We'll make a space in the lives that we planned,

And there we'll stay until it's time for you to go.

 

Yes we're different, worlds apart,we're not the same,

We laughed and played at the start, like in a game,

You could have stayed outside my heart but in you came,

And here you'll stay until it's time to go.

 

Don't ask me me why

Don't ask how

Don't ask forever

Love me now

 

This love of mine had no beginning, it has no end;

I was an oak, now I'm a willow; now I can bend;

And though I'll never in my life see you again,

still i'll stay until it's time for you to go.

 

Don't ask why of me

Don't ask how of me

Don't ask forever of me

Love me now

 

You're not a dream, you're not an angel; you're a man;

I'm not a queen, I'm a woman, take my hand;

We'll make a space in the lives that we planned,

And there we'll stay until it's time for you to go.

Velvet Revolver - The Last Fight

 

Time feels like I've been back in jail

Like when I was doing time in the can

Spend all night on a bended knee

Just to beg for something to believe

Left home with a pack of clothes without a family tree

 

[Chorus]

This fight could be the last fight

No giving and no winning

One time could be the all the time

Should we decide to end the misery

 

Time heals all of the burned out bridges

Filled with nothing more than misery

I wear the mask of the unbattled son

Trying to beg for something to believe

Left home with a pack of clothes without a family tree

 

[Chorus]

 

Break the chains of featherweights and giants

With the stain forever lasting liars

They're afraid when we spit out the fire

And start living

 

Pearl Jam - Deep

 

On the edge of a windowsill

Ponders his maker, ponders his will

To the street below, he just ain't nothin'

But he's got a great view, and he sinks the needle deep, yeah...

Whoa, can't touch the bottom

In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom

 

Oh, on the edge of a know-nothin' town

Feelin' quite superior, the aged come

To the sky above he just ain't nothin'

But he's got a great view, and he sinks a burning knife deep, yeah...

Ooh, can't touch the bottom

In too deep, yeah...uh huh, can't touch the bottom

In too deep...

Ohhh...Ohhh...

 

Ow...

On the edge of a Christmas clean love

Young virgin from heaven...visiting Hell

To the man above her, she just ain't nothin'

And she doesn't like the view

She doesn't like the view (2x)

But he sinks himself deep

 

Oh, can't touch the bottom

In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom

Can't touch the bottom

Deep, yeah...

Oh, yeah, the bottom, yeah... (6x)

Ohh...

 

Radiohead - Karma Police

 

Karma Police

Arrest this man

He talks in mouths

He buzzes like a fridge

He's like a detuned radio

 

Karma Police

Arrest this girl

Her Hitler hairdo

Is making me feel ill

And we have crashed her party

 

This is what you'll get

This is what you'll get

This is what you'll get

When you mess with us

 

Karma Police

I've given all I can

It's not enough

I've given all I can

But we're still on the payroll

 

This is what you'll get

This is what you'll get

This is what you'll get

When you mess with us

 

For a minute there

I lost myself

I lost myself

 

Phew, for a minute there

I lost myself

I lost myself

 

For a minute there

I lost myself

I lost myself

 

Phew, for a minute there

I lost myself

I lost myself

 

Bush - Warm Machine Not really that big a fan of the band Bush buy I love this song and a few others

 

I memorize the basics

Making strange faces

There's a thousand miles to go

Without blinking

 

 

Gravitate spacewards

Find a home for the head

From my basement

No darkness ever left

 

This is the night

This is the sound

Here comes the warm machine

Such a warm machine

 

Some days are playful

Making play faces

But we will not let it through

The darkness and the sense

Or being born to lose

 

This is the night

This is the sound

Her comes the warm machine

Such a warm machine

This is the life

This is the sound

Here comes a warm machine

Such a warm machine

 

If I never know we can only feel

I'll take the help

I'll take a slice

Warm alright now

Cos I feel alright

 

I memorize the basics, basics, basics

 

This is the night

This is the sound

Here comes the warm machine

Such a warm machine

Such a warm machine

Such a warm machine, machine, machine…

Highway 61 Revisited

 

God said to abraham kill me a son

Abe said "man you must be puttin' me on"

God said "no", Abe said "what"

God say "you can do what you wanna but

The next time you see me comin' you better run!"

Well Abe said "where d'ya want this killin' done?"

God said "out on highway 61"

 

Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose

Welfare department wouldnt give him no clothes

They asked poor howard where can I go

Howard said "theres only one place I know"

Sam said "tell me quick man I got to run"

Oh howard just pointed with his gun

And said "that way down highway 61"

 

Well Mack The Finger said to Louie the King

"I got 40 Red, White & Blue shoestrings

And a thousand telephones that don't even ring.

Do you know where I can get rid of these things?"

And Louie the King said "let me think for a minute son"

Then he said "yes, I think it can be easily done

Just take everything down to highway 61"

 

Now the 5th daughter on the 12th night

Told the first father that things weren't right

"my complexion", she says, "is much too white"

He said "come here and step into the light"

He said "hmm you're right let me tell the 2nd mother this has been done"

But the 2nd mother was with the 7th son

And they were both out on highway 61

 

Now the Roving Gambler he was very bored

Trying to create a next world war

He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor

He said "I never engaged in this kind of thing before,

But yes, i think it can be very easily done

We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun

And have it on highway 61"

Expansion Pack by BLAN

Pickwick screaming

(Another Arrow. Another Arrow)

Down on the cold ground.

 

There's another.

 

Write all about Pirate ghosts.

It will be interesting

It will be interesting

 

At least it is imaginative.

Wash away the mud.

Radiohead - No Suprises

 

A heart that's full up like a landfill,

a job that slowly kills you,

bruises that won't heal.

You look so tired-unhappy,

bring down the government,

they don't, they don't speak for us.

I'll take a quiet life,

a handshake of carbon monoxide,

 

with no alarms and no surprises,

no alarms and no surprises,

no alarms and no surprises,

no alarms and no surprises,

Silent silent.

 

This is my final fit,

my final bellyache,

 

with no alarms and no surprises,

no alarms and no surprises,

no alarms and no surprises please.

 

Such a pretty house

and such a pretty garden.

 

No alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),

no alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),

no alarms and no surprises, please.

[Slaggis]

I love these lyrics!

 

 

 

 

Drive fast, don't crash, make your money, make it last

Hang tight, kick back, prepare yourself for the attack-

Buy low, sell high, take your pills, tell your lies

Fake your tan, wear a tie

Go to the gym you'll never die!

 

 

And that's the way to go!

And that's the way to go! to go!

 

Fake it baby - They won't even know!

You can make it

Cos everybody knows that that's the way to go

 

 

 

Tune in, drop out, raise your voice, never shout

Find your true love on the couch, this is what it's all about

Change your face, keep your name, keep it real don't play the game

Don't you know they're all the same ? don't you know they're all the same?

 

And that's the way to go!

And that's the way to go! to go!

 

Fake it baby - They won't even know!

You can make it

Cos everybody knows that that's the way to go

 

 

 

Dig deep, fly low, celebrate a tv show

Raise the stakes, drop the pressure, happiness you'll never measure

Bite your tongue, pay the man, time to start your five year plan

Holiday in Vietnam, then blow a kiss to Uncle Sam.

 

And that's the way to go!

And that's the way to go! to go!

 

Fake it baby - They won't even know!

You can make it

Cos everybody knows that that's the way to go

 

Buy low, sell high, take your pills, tell your lies

Fake your tan, wear a tie

Go to the gym you'll never die!
