because we need one….

\"Simple\" – Collective Soul

Tangle up your twisted tongue. It’s simple.
Mesmerize your everyday. It’s simple.
Hey hey can’t you see?
Love is all that you should need.
Can’t you see?

Ease your troubled mind.
Let love seek & let love find. It’s simple.
Ease your weary soul.
Let love lead & let love flow. It’s simple.

Pry into combative times. It’s simple.
Forfeit all lush concerns. It’s simple.
Hey hey don’t you care?
Love is all that you should share.
Don’t you care?

Cleansing out your tarnished heart.
It’s simple.
Learning from each other can be simple.
Hey hey don’t we know?
Love is all that we should show.
Don’t we know?

i really like this song. i feel like this sometimes. i just want to go to an imaginary place and stay lost in my thoughts. escape the real world for a while.

Imaginary

~ Evanescence

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops
As they’re falling tell a story

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Don’t say I’m out of touch
With this rampant chaos- your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

[Daysofthephoenix]

I like this song’s lyrics for some reason, always gets stuck in my head.

\"That Time on the Ledge\" by Mew

Sweetness, please try
The summer springs to mind, said I
Most of that night now escapes me, she replied

No, don’t let in
For years of curious fear derived
Every night
We’ll all set aside

A bomb adhered to memories

Sweetness, don’t cry
The hurtful ones were meant to die

No, don’t let in
For years of curious fear derived
Every night
We’ll all set aside

A fire rite you like to watch

No, don’t let in
For years of curious fear derived
Every night
We’ll all set aside

She said,
”What if I said goodbye now?
What if I, not knowing why,
left you all behind on the ledge?”
I replied,
that I knew now
I was glad I did not push you off
that time on the ledge

And I’m still glad
I did not push you off
that time on the ledge

\"the difference between medicine and poison is the dose\" by circa survive. it got me through a real tough time a couple years ago.

Move one inch at a time, don’t make shit rhyme
Would it be easy to repeat the first line?
my mind’s not a well, it won’t run dry
just keep drinking water and you’ll be alright
this is paralysis, with no time at all to let go

Well, don’t call me by my full name
and all this is temporary
it feels much better to know that you won’t feel a thing
well don’t talk about it, write it down, but don’t ask for help
i can’t be honest with even myself
did you ever wish you were somebody else?

accomplishments are transient
they pull me in unremittingly
just lasting this long
i feel relieved to let repetition save me

Well, don’t call me by my full name
and all this is temporary
it feels much better to know that you won’t feel a thing
well don’t talk about it, write it down, but don’t ask for help
i can’t be honest with even myself
did you ever wish you were somebody else?

Move one inch at a time, you’ll be just fine
Move one inch at a time, you’ll find they pull me in
but accomplishments are transient
they pull me in
but accomplishments are transient

well don’t call me by my full name
and all this is temporary
it feels much better to know that you won’t feel a thing
well don’t talk about it, write it down, but don’t ask for help
i can’t be honest with even myself
did you ever wish you were
did you ever wish you were
did you ever wish you were somebody else?

Puddle of Mudd – Psycho

Maybe I’m the one, maybe I’m the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I’m the one, maybe I’m the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho

She lays down on the fresh lawn
She can make everything magical
But she tied one on big time
And it makes me wanna rewind

To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
And you know we’re gonna win again

Yeah, you know we’re gonna win again
Yeah, you know we’re gonna win again

Maybe I’m the one, maybe I’m the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I’m the one, maybe I’m the one
Who is the paranoid psycho

She lays down on the sidewalk
Never very analytical
She is something simply beautiful
Reappear when you feel magical

To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
Yeah, you know we’re gonna win again

Maybe I’m the one, maybe I’m the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I’m the one, maybe I’m the one
Who is the paranoid psycho

I’m the one, I’m the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho
I’m the one, I’m the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho
I’m the one, I’m the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho

Back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
And you know we’re gonna win again

Maybe I’m the one, maybe I’m the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I’m the one, maybe I’m the one
Who is the paranoid psycho

Maybe I’m the one, maybe I’m the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I’m the one, maybe I’m the one
Who is the paranoid psycho

I’m the one, I’m the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho

Chevelle – Send the Pain Below

I liked having hurt,
So send the pain below where I need it,
You used to beg me to take care of things,
And smile at the thought of me failing.

But long before, having hurt,
I’d send the pain below,
I’d send the pain below.

Much like suffocating,
Much like suffocating,
Much like suffocating,
(I’d send the pain below…)
Much like suffocating,
(I’d send the pain below…)

You used to run me away,
All while laughing.
Then cry about that fact,
’til I returned.

But long before, having hurt,
I’d send the pain below,
I’d send the pain below.

Much like suffocating,
Much like suffocating,
Much like suffocating,
(I’d send the pain below…)
Much like suffocating,
(I’d send the pain below…)
Much like suffocating.

I can’t feel my chest,
Need more, drop down,
Closing in.

I can’t feel my chest,
Drop down.

I liked, having hurt.
So send the pain below,
So send the pain below,
(Much like suffocating)
So send the pain below,
(Much like suffocating) [Having hurt]
So send the pain below,
(Much like suffocating)
So send the pain below,
(Much like suffocating)
So send the pain below.

Muse – Yes Please

Hooohoooha yes please HAHA!

I cannot sleep
There’s too much noise in my head
I cannot sleep
I want it here instead

I never thought that this could come to this
I just wanna look at your face in peace now
You’ll never miss
But I can

I cannot keep
The shame that’s clawed us out
I will not keep
Your shut-up, shut-up lies

I never thought that this could come to this
I just wanna live in bliss, in peace now
You will never miss
But I can

Bjork – \"Bachelorette\"

I’m a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You’re the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the Whirl

Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we’re playing is life
Love is a two way dream

Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I’m a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You’re the one who walks me
I’m your one way street

I’m a whisper in water
Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

Leave me now, return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I’m a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You’re the intruder hand
I’m the branch that you break

Thinking About You – Radiohead

Been thinking about you
Your record’s a hit
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I’m still no one
And you’re my star
What do you care?

Been thinking about you
And there’s no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I’m playing with myself
What do you care?
When the other men are far far better

All the things you’ve got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey?

I’ve been thinking about you
So how can you sleep
These people aren’t your friends
They’re paid to kiss your feet
They don’t know what I know
And why should you care
When I’m not there

Been thinking about you
And there’s no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I’m playing with myself
What do you care?
When I’m not there.

All the things you’ve got
That you’ll never need
All the things you’ve got
I’ve bled and I’d bleed to please you
… honey

Been thinking about you..

The Zookeeper’s Boy- Mew

Are you my lady, are you?

If I don’t make it back from the city then
It is only because I am drawn away
For you see, evidently there’s a dark storm come
And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse

So are you my lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down
The cars remain

You’re tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there’s a glitch
You’re an ostrich
You’ve got your head in the sand

In a submersible I can hardly breathe
As it takes me inside, so the light sings
Answer me truthfully, do the clouds kiss you
With meringue-coloured hair I know they cannot

So are you my lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down
The cars remain

Santa Ana winds bring seasickness
Zookeeper hear me out
How dare you go?
Cold in the rain

Tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there’s a glitch
You’re an ostrich
You’ve got your head in the sand

Are you my lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down
The cars remain

I could not be seen with you
Working half the time and looking fine
In cars re-made

Man on the Corner – Genesis

See the lonely man there on the corner,
What he’s waiting for, I don’t know,
But he waits everyday now.
He’s just waiting for something to show.

And nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
‘Cos there’s no hiding place,
There’s no hiding place – for you.

Looking everywhere at no one,
He sees everything and nothing at all – oh.
When he shouts nobody listens,
Where he leads no one will go – oh.

He’s a lonely man, there on the corner,
What he’s waiting for, I don’t know,
But he waits everyday now.
And he’s just waiting for something to show – oh.

Nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
‘Cos there’s no hiding place,
There’s no hiding place – for you and me.

Are we just like all the rest,
We’re looking too hard for something he’s got
Or moving too fast to rest.
But like a monkey on your back you need it.
But do you love it enough to leave it – ah.

Just like the lonely man there on the corner,
What he’s waiting for, I don’t know – oh.
But he waits every day now.
He’s just waiting for that something to show – oh.

Who’s the lonely man there on the corner,
What he’s waiting for, I don’t know.
But he’s there every day now.
And he’s just waiting for something to show – oh.

Who’s the lonely man there on the corner,
What he’s waiting for, I don’t know.
Oh but he waits every day now.
He’s just waiting for that something to show.

Two-Headed Boy Part 2- Neutral Milk Hotel

Daddy, please, hear this song that I sing
In your heart there’s a spark that just screams
For a lover to bring
A child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
And love all you have left like your boy used to be
Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet

Blister, please, with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine
How he’d love to find
Your tongue in his teeth, in a struggle to find
Secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight
Sounding only at night as you sleep

In my dreams you’re alive and you’re crying
As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet
Rings of flowers around your eyes and I’ll love you
For the rest of your life

Brother, see, we are one and the same
And you left with your head filled with flames
And you watched as your brains
Fell out through your teeth, push the pieces in place
Make your smile sweet to see, don’t you take this away
I’m still wanting my face on your cheek

And when we break, we’ll wait for our miracle
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
And when we break, we’ll wait for our miracle
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life

Two headed boy, she is all you could need
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires
And retire to sheets safe and clean
But don’t hate her when she gets up to leave

[manillascissor]

Audioslave – Last Remaining Light

Roll me on your frozen fields
Break my bones to watch them heal
Drown me in your thirsty veins
Where I’ll watch and I’ll wait
And pray for the rain

Curl like smoke and breath again
Down your throat inside your ribs
Through your spine in every nerve
Where I watch and I wait and yield to the herd

And if you don’t believe
The sun will rise
Stand alone and greet
The coming night
In the last remaining light

Seven moons and seven suns
Heaven waits for those who run
Down your winter and
Underneath your waves
Where you watch and you wait
And pray for the day

And if you don’t believe
The sun will rise
Stand alone and greet
The coming night
In the last remaining light

And if you don’t believe
The sun will rise
Stand alone and greet
The coming night
In the last remaining light
Light
Light
Light

Audioslave – Be Yourself

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC5FdFlUcl0[/youtube]

Someone falls to pieces, sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain, spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard and catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen, white roses on a grave

Yeah and to be yourself is all that you can do
Hey, to be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time
Another runs away, separate or united, healthy or insane

And to be yourself is all that you can do, yeah
(All that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)To be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)
Hey, be yourself is all that you can do

Even when you’ve paid enough
Been pulled apart or been held up
Every single memory of the good or bad
Faces of luck
Don’t lose any sleep tonight
I’m sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do, yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
Oh, to be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)
Hey, to be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do

The Fratellis – Whistle for the Choir

Well it’s a big big city and it’s always the same
Can never be too pretty tell me your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold and say \"Would you be mine?\"

Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen
I know I may be on a downer i’m still ready to dream
Though it’s 3 o’clock the time is just the time it takes for you to talk

So if you’re lonely why’d you say you’re not lonely
Oh you’re a silly girl, I know I heard it so
It’s just like you to come and go
And know me no you don’t even know me
You’re so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you’s just irresistible

Well it’s a big big city and the lights are all out
But it’s much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my heart’s in broken pieces
And my head’s a mess
And it’s 4 in the morning, and I’m walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it’s you, woo hoo
That’s got me going crazy for the things you do

So if you’re crazy I don’t care you amaze me
but you’re a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it’s a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me’s just irresistible

So if you’re lonely, why’d you say you’re not lonely
Oh you’re a silly girl, I know I heard it so
It’s just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don’t even know me
Your so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you’s just irresistible

Faith No More – Ashes to Ashes

I want them to know it’s me
It’s on my head
I’ll point the finger at me
It’s on my head
Give it all to you
Then I’ll be closer
Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I’ll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I’ll see you
I will let you shout no more
It’s on my head
I’ll pick you up from the floor
It’s on my head
Give it all to you
Then I’ll be closer
Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I’ll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I’ll see you
Give the same to me then I’ll be closer, closer
Give the same to me then I’ll be closer, closer
Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I’ll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
Give the same to me then I’ll be closer

Motograter- New Design (Start Over)

I woke up today
Didn’t feel like I had slept at all
Just another restless night
Such a reckless life
I wish that I could take it slow
Live it simple day by day
But there’s always something new
Something in the way

Id like to change the hands of time
Start over, someone hit rewind
Break ground and build a new design
Start over, leave this all behind

Thumbing through the paper
It’s the same old black and white
One man gets to live
And a dozen have to die
The reality that we create
We cross the lines we love to hate
Something we see everyday
But we always choose to look away

I’d like to change the hands of time
Start over, someone hit rewind
Break ground and build a new design
Start over, leave this all behind

The times have changed
But were still the same
The cycle just repeats itself
It goes on and on
The times have changed
But were still the same
The cycle just repeats itself
It goes on and on and on
On and on and on

Creeping down the boulevard
Among the walking dead
They’re numb to nearly everything
Accepting what they’re fed

I’d like to change the hands of time
Start over, someone hit rewind
Break ground and build a new design
Start over, leave this all behind

The times have changed
But were still the same
The cycle just repeats itself
It goes on and on
The times have changed
But were still the same
The cycle just repeats itself
It goes on and on and on

OpShop – Maybe

So what’s this big secret you can’t tell me
I don’t wanna piece of this

Haven’t we all had enough
Enough for one day
I don’t wanna argue with you
You’ve got me shiverin’ in my spine

If everything turned out as we had said
We wouldn’t have to sit through any of this
Maybe I would be a better fit in my own skin

I’m not gonna try to divide or ignore you
And the pieces of the puzzle that never seem to fit

I’m not playin’ hangman with you
I’ve run out of letters, let alone words
You’ve got me shiverin’ in my spine

If everything turned out as we had said
We wouldn’t have to sit here talkin’ like this
Maybe I would be a better fit in my own skin
Maybe

If everything turned out as we had planned
We wouldn’t have to go through any of this
Maybe it’ll be more simple than you could ever think

So stay right where you are
We’re snoozin’ through an alarm
Make no sudden movements
Just tell me where we are
Cause here I am
There you are
Snoozin’ through an alarm
Snoozin’ through an alarm

If everything turned out as we had said
We wouldn’t have to go through any of this
Maybe

Maybe(oh)
Maybe (oh)
Maybe (oh)
Oh

Arcade Fire- \"Antichrist Television Blues\"

Don’t want to work in a building downtown
No, I don’t want to work in a building downtown
I don’t know what I’m going to do
Because the planes keep crashing always two by two
Don’t want to work in a building downtown
No, I don’t want to see it when the planes hit the ground

Don’t want to work in a building downtown
Don’t want to work in a building downtown
Parking the cars in the underground
The voices when they scream, well, they make no sound
Want to see the cities rust
And the troublemakers riding on the back of the bus

Dear God, I’m a good Christian man
I’m your boy, I know you understand
That you got to work hard and you got to get paid
The girl’s thirteen, but she don’t act her age
She can sing like a bird in cage
Oh Lord, if you could see her when she’s up on that stage

You know that I’m a God-fearing man
You know that I’m a God-fearing man
I just got to know if it’s part of your plan
To see my darling stand by your right hand
I know that you’ll do what’s right, Lord
For they are the lanterns and you are the light

Now I’m overcome
By the light of day
My lips are near
But my heart is far away
Tell me what to say
I’ll be your mouthpiece

Into the light of a bridge that burns
As I drive through the city with the money that I earn
To the dark of a starless sky
I won’t stare into nothing and I’m asking you why
Lord, let me make her a star
So the world can see who you really are

Little girl, you’re old enough to understand
You’ll always be a stranger in a strange, strange land
Men are going to come while you’re fast asleep
So you better just stay close and hold onto me
If mama’s mockingbird don’t sing well,
Then daddy won’t buy her no diamond ring

Dear God, would you send me a child?
Oh God, would you send me a child?
Because I want to put it up on the TV screen
So the world can see what your true word means
Lord, won’t you send me a sign?
Because I just got to know if I’m wasting my time

Now I’m overcome
By the light of day
My lips are near
But my heart is far away
But now the war is won
How come nothing tastes good?

Oh you’re such a sensitive child
You know you’re such a sensitive child
I know you’re tired, but it’s all right
I just needed you to sing for me tonight
You’re going to have your day in the sun
You know God loves the sensitive ones

Oh, my little bird in a cage
Oh, my little bird in a cage
I need you to get up for me up on that stage
Show all the men that you’re old for your age
Now in the times of fear
But if you don’t take it, it’ll disappear

Oh, my little mockingbird, sing
Oh, my little mockingbird, sing
I need you to get up on the stage for me, honey
Show the men it’s not about the money
Want to hold a mirror up to the world
So that they can see themselves inside my little girl

Do you know where I was at your age?
Any idea where I was at your age?
I was working downtown for the minimum wage!
And I couldn’t let you just throw it all away
Throw me a kid, God, throw me a knife
So tell me Lord, am I the Antichrist?

Collective Soul – \"The World I Know\"

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don’t know why.

Are we listening?
Hymns of offering.
Have we eyes to see?
Love is gathering.
All the words that I’ve been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one.

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down.
‘Cause it’s the world I know.
It’s the world I know.

\"A Dark Design\"

Opens up her blouse to the cool night
With no shaking of time
Because she has in mind
A dark design
Now I’m a so-called cube
Speaking out, she said to me

She said:
Hi. I’m twice coloured
Wait till you see how their in love
With my sickness
There is no more time for the weaklings
With an unfamiliar smile
A self-destructive mind of dark design
We may just live through life
Watching it from sweet repose
Cut up with knives that slice open
I’m professional now

Everly, everly I
Can you not look at me through sides?
Everly, everly I
Did you not summon up their kite?

Opens up her face
To the delight of their red piercing beaks
It didn’t hurt this time
My dark design
They leave her left behind
Slits into her all convinced
That she’s their favourite way
Practicing
But getting worse

So high
I’m twice coloured
Wait till you see
I made a truce with the blackness dyer
I know colours wait for you
I feel so car-sick and alone

Counting Crows – Raining in Baltimore

The circus is falling down on its knees
The big top is crumbling down
It’s raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
Where you should be, no one’s around
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call
These train conversations are passing me by
And I don’t have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But I just had no intention of living this way
I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat
And I get no answers
And I don’t get no change
It’s raining in Baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same
There’s things I remember and things I forget
I miss you I guess that I should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?
I need a phone call Maybe I should buy a new car
I can always hear a freight train Baby, if I listen real hard
And I wish, I wish it was a small world
Because I’m lonely for the big towns
I’d like to hear a little guitar
I guess it’s time to put the top down
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I really need a raincoat
I really really need a rain coat
I really really really need a rain coat
I really need a raincoat

Stone Temple Pilots – Atlanta

She lives in the bungalow
She kills me with rose garden thorns
She waits for me
My love is unusual
It’s painted with roses and thorns
With her I’m complete

She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me
She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me

Visions of Mexico seduce me
It goes to my head so carefully
Memories of candles and incense
And all of these things remember these?

She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me
She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me

She comforts me when the candles burn out
The cake has grown mold but the memories are sweet
The laughter’s all all gone but the memories are mine
The Mexican princess is out of my life

Radiohead – Street Spirit

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love

The Police – King of Pain

There’s a little black spot on the sun today
That’s my soul up there.
It’s the same old thing as yesterday
That’s my soul up there.
There’s a black hat caught in a high tree top
That’s my soul up there.
There’s a flag pole rag and the wind won’t stop
That’s my soul up there.

I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ’round my brain.
I guess I’m always hoping that you’ll end this reign,
But it’s my destiny to be the king of pain…

There’s a fossil that’s trapped in a high cliff wall
There’s a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
There’s a blue whale beached by a springtime’s ebb
There’s a butterfly trapped in a spider’s web

There’s a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There’s a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There’s a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There’s a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

There’s a red fox torn by a huntsman’s pack
There’s a black-winged gull with a broken back
There’s a little black spot on the sun today.
It’s the same old thing as yesterday,
That’s my soul up there…………………..

I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ’round my brain.
I guess I always thought you could end this reign,
But it’s my destiny to be the king of pain………….

I’ll always be king of pain……………

……………………………………………………………………………………..

I always thought it was ‘there’s a black cat caught in a high tree top’
‘black hat’ doesn’t seem as cool, to me.

Bonnie \"Prince\" Billy : I See Darkness

Well, you’re my friend
And can you see
Many times we’ve been out drinking
Many times we’ve shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice, the kind of thoughts I got
Well you know I have a love, a love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive, to live I won’t let go
But can you see this opposition, comes rising up sometimes
That dreadfull imposition, comes blacking in my mind

And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you
Is there hope that somehow you
Can save me from this darkness

Well I hope that someday buddy
We’ll have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
And we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn’t all I see

I know, I see a darkness
I know, I see a darkness
I know, I see a darkness
I know, I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you
Is there hope that somehow you
Can save me from this darkness

Tom Petty – House in the Woods

I’m goin’ down to the house in the woods
See my little darlin’
I’m goin’ down, out in the fields
With summertime comin’

Oh my love, what can I do
What can I do but love you?
For the rest of my days, the rest of my nights
What can I do but love you?

Summertime falls on the house in the woods
Back by the power lines
I ain’t got a neighbor for nine or ten miles
Back in the tall pines

And hey, now baby, what can I do?
What am I goin’ to do but trust you?
The rest of my nights, the rest of my days
What can I do but love you?

Hey now baby, what can I do?
What am I goin’ to do but love you
For the rest of my days, the rest of my nights
What could I do but love you?

This is a bit of a corny song (musically-wise) but nice lyrics.

Limahl – Neverending Story

Look at what you see….
In her face
The mirror of your dreams….
Make believe I’m everywhere
Given in the light
Written on the pages
Is the answer to a never ending story…

Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy….
Dream a dream
And what you see will be….
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a never ending story…

Show no fear
For she may fade away…
In your hand
The birth of a new day…
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a never ending story

Live – Tibetan Book Of The Dead (T.B.D.)

in the moment I was losing my head
readin’ too much and losin’ my head and I was
reachin’ forward, I was already there
readin’ too much and losin’ my head
this information caused a cut in the line
now I’m remembering God and readin’ too much
it’s so nice
the print is smaller than the ants in the grass
I’ll have to put it away now

in the morning there are things to be read,
words to be said, and food to be fed,
but I won’t be there.
I’ll be clutchin’ on a megaphone pointed at my head,
would you be there,
would you kindly, read this word for word
so loud and clear,
I can’t remember it all,
it needs to be clear, I tell you,
if the feeling drops out of your voice,
would you kindly pick it up

this is how, I’ll go out tonight
dressed in blue, by the book tonight
this is how, I’ll go out tonight
but I don’t need a book.

we’re talkin’ anchors, talkin’ ships, we’re talkin’ seas,
we’re talkin’ everything you need
you should be workin’ now,
not only askin’ how
and the whereabouts of where you’ll be.
I don’t suspect you will be thinking
when the brain is dead
and the mind has taken over,
this is a skill, this is not a game,
where have you been,
are you with us?
can you hear us?
got the megaphone pointed at you

I’ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons

Isolate and save you from yourself …

Enigma – \"Return To Innocence\"

Love – Devotion
Feeling – Emotion
Love – Devotion
Feeling – Emotion
Don’t be afraid to be weak
Don’t be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don’t hide
Just believe in destiny
Don’t care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don’t give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
That’s not the beginning of the end
That’s the return to yourself
The return to innocence
Don’t care what people say
Follow just your own way, follow just your own way
Don’t give up, don’t give up
To return, to return to innocence.
If you want then laugh
If you must then cry
Be yourself don’t hide
Just believe in destiny.

Fountains of Wayne – Radiation Vibe

Are you alone now
Did you lose the monkey
He gave you backaches
And now you slouch

He didn’t mean it
He’s just a dumb ape
Reading Playboy
On your couch

And now it’s time to say
What I forgot to say
Baby baby baby
Come on, what’s wrong
It’s a radiation vibe I’m groovin on
Don’t it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on

I went to Pittsburgh
And joined a pro team
Talk about a bad dream
I broke a knee

But I can still croon
And make the girls swoon
Isn’t that the way life’s
Supposed to be

But now it’s time to say
What I forgot to say
Baby baby baby
Come on, what’s wrong
It’s a radiation vibe I’m groovin on
Don’t it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on, shine on

And now it’s time to say
What I forgot to say
Baby baby baby
Come on, what’s wrong
It’s a radiation vibe I’m groovin on
Don’t it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on

Baby baby baby
Come on, what’s wrong
It’s a radiation vibe I’m groovin on
Don’t it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on, shine on

Papa M : Glad You’re Here With Me

maybe you’d be better off with another man
for there’s a weight that must be relieved
I dread the thought of losing you but I would understand
until that day I’m glad you’re here with me
I have friends that may be better for you
friends that have not the fears of I
it pains me just to think of you leaving
I don’t ever want to say goodbye
lover these powders are compelling
I don’t claim that it’s the way to be
if I am fucking up there ain’t no telling
I’m just glad that you are here with me
this morning they killed the candymaker
three shots to his head from a forty five
I don’t want to end up in the paper
or kill a man just to watch him die
I don’t mean to judge the man that murders
I don’t care to un-sympathize
I am neither victim nor killer
I see myself in both of their eyes
but what drives a man to kill another
and leave his body in the dirt to bleed
ain’t he also my brother
ain’t you happy you are here with me

The Nits – Sketches Of Spain

The streets of Barcelona are filled with blood and rain
The war is rolling over Spain
Men and women running with sticks of dynamite
Storming stone buildings in the middle of the night

In the window near the last ‘o’ of the sign ‘Hotel Colon’
Machine guns sweep the square for fun
The rich draw the steel curtain
The poor just lock the door
They don’t want this war no more

It never never never never never stops never stops
It never never never never never stops never stops

In the hills round Zaragoza we’re waiting to attack
A knot of dirty men that shiver round their flag
The boredom and the lack of sleep
The tin cans in the mud
Red is the colour of our blood

We never never never never never stop never stop
We never never never never never stop never stop

I have seen the trenches and the blankets on dirt
I have seen the tears upon a farewell letter
I have seen the faces that no bullet can hurt
I have seen the spirit that no bomb can shatter

The streets of Barcelona are filled with blood and rain
The war is rolling over Spain
Men and women running with sticks of dynamite
Storming stone buildings in the middle of the night

They never never never never never stop never stop
They never never never never never stop never stop

I have seen the trenches and the blankets on dirt
I have seen the tears upon a farewell letter
I have seen the faces that no bullet can hurt
I have seen the spirit that no bomb can shatter

Knives can cut fist can beat

[Arthur]

Every time I hear this song, it brings tears in my eyes.

Hallo Venray – Tuck, The Man

Tuck is a man
and he likes to be a man
and he knows he can love a woman that way

Tuck wants to be an actor
he doesn’t mention it that much
he says it’s a dream but it doesn’t pay

Tuck was good at school
that’s where he met his first girlfriend
and he’s still with her up to this day

Tuck has a job
and he likes to work hard
and he knows he can pay the bills he has to pay

One day I’m gonna be an actor
and sing a song to the girl I’m after
I’ve been waiting so long I want to have her
and my love is so strong
I’ll die if I won’ t have her

And when I get to her lips
we’ll give a kiss
and fill the emptiness
we felt so long in our hearts

she’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun with the sun with the sun in her eyes

Tuck is a man
and he likes to be a man
and he knows he can love a woman that way

Tuck is doing the best he can
and he says doing less
would be wrong the wrong thing to do

One day I’m gonna be an actor
and sing a song to the girl I’m after
I’ve been waiting so long I want to have her
and my love is so strong
I’ll die if I won’ t have her

And when I get to her lips
we’ll give a kiss
and fill the emptiness
we felt so long in our hearts

she’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun with the sun with the sun in her eyes

she’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun with the sun with the sun in her eyes

Talking Heads \"The Lady Don’t Mind\"

Last time she jumped out the window
well

she only turned and smiled.
You might think she would say something
but you’d have to wait a while

Well
the lady don’t mind; no
no
no
the lady don’t mind.
She just turns her head and disappears
I

I kinda like that style.

Little boat that floats on a river

it’s drifling through a haze.
She floats by whenever she wants to and there she goes again.
Well
it’s no trouble at all; no
no
no trouble at all.
Well
what she does is all right with me

and I kinda like that style.

Come on
come on
I go up and down

I like this curious feeling.
I know
I see
it’s like make believe ;
Cover your ears so you can hear what I’m saying.
I’m not lost but I don’t know where I am; I got a question.
All right
all right
this is what we like

Who knows
who knows what I’m thinking?

She says love ist not what she’s after
but everybody knows.
Each time she looks in the mirror

but she lets her feelings show.
Well
the lady don’t mind no
no
no

the lady don’t mind. . .

Oh-oh
oh-oh
here we go again

I don’t know
don’t know what I’m sayin’.
Hey man
hey man
I sure don’t feel the same

She likes to say what she’s feeling.
Hey
did I get a big surprise? I know you think so.
Come on
come on
she says anything

Who knows
who knows what she’s thinking?

Shihad – Wait and See

We could choose to disregard it
or have some fun and break it
since god has just departed
we could carry on or fake it
who has a better plan
whats the true nature of man
whats money to your soul
watch as money takes control

And is there space for every boy and girl
in a competitive, material world
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
and I’m trying too hard too believe

Know when to draw the line
know there’s a grand design
know there’s a better way
I dont know and cannot say
when my respect for man
has taken all it can
the purchase of your soul
placate and we have lost control x2

Is it daddys little boys and girls
become the acne on the face of the world
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
and I’m trying too hard too believe

We could choose to disregard it x2
who has a better plan
whats the true nature of man
whats money to your soul
watch as money takes control

Is it daddys little boys and girls
become the acne on the face of the world
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
And is there space for every boy and girl
in a competitive, material world
I guess we’ll have to wait and see

The Police – Synchronicity II

Another suburban morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall

We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can’t hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustrations
But we know all her suicides are fake

Daddy only stares into the distance
There’s only so much more that he can take
Many miles away something crawls from the slime at the
Bottom of a dark Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn’t think to wonder why
The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts on a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
Many miles away something crawls to the surface of a dark Scottish lake

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
Many miles away there’s a shadow on the door of a cottage on the
Shore of a dark Scottish lake

Phil Ochs : No More Songs

Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody home?

I’ve only called to say

I’m sorry.

The drums are in the dawn,

and all the voices gone.

And it seems that there are no more songs.

Once I knew a girl
She was a flower in a flame
I loved her as the sea sinkssings(?) sadly
Now the ashes of the dream
Can be found in the magazines.
And it seems that there are no more songs.

Once I knew a sage
who sang upon the stage
He told about the world,
His lover.
A ghost without a name,
Stands ragged in the rain.
And it seems that there are no more songs.

The rebels they were here
They came beside the door
They told me that the moon was bleeding
Then all to my suprise,
They took away my eyes.
And it seems that there are no more songs.

A (scar, star)?? is in the sky,
It’s time to say goodbye.
A whale is on the beach,
He’s dying.
A white flag in my hand,
And a white bone in the sand.
And it seems that there are no more songs.

Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody home?
I’ve only called to say
I’m sorry.
The drums are in the dawn,
and all the voices gone.
And it seems that there are no more songs.

It seems that there are no more songs.
It seems that there are no more songs.

White Stripes – I’m Slowly Turning Into You

I’m slowly turning into you
But you don’t know this
Tell the truth
You say I’m lying and I never really tell you the truth
But your face is getting older
So put your head on my shoulder
Yeah, put your head on my shoulder

Yesterday it hit me that I do all the little things
That you do
Except the same little things that you do are annoying
They’re annoying as hell in fact
It kinda struck a little bell in fact
I like to keep my little shell intact

And I’m slowly turning into you
And I’m slowly turning into you

Then something else came to mind
That was the mirror
It made everything clearer
That you’re more beautiful compelling and stronger
It didn’t take much longer
Just for me to realize I love all the little things
And the beauty that they’re gonna bring
I dig your little laugh and I’m lovin’ your quick wit
I even love it when you’re faking it
And it might sound a little strange for me to say to you
But I’m proud to be you

And I’m slowly turning into you
And I’m slowly turning into you
And I’m slowly turning into you
And I’m slowly turning into you

U2 – Sunday Bloody Sunday

I can’t believe the news today
Oh, I can’t close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long
Cause tonight, we can be as one tonight

Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

And the battle’s just begun
There’s many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long
Cause tonight
We can be as one
Tonight, tonight

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Oh, wipe your bloodshot eyes
Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

(Sunday, bloody Sunday)

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On

Sunday bloody Sunday, yeah
Sunday bloody Sunday

I don’t need to resist.
I don’t need to exist.
Dripping blue blood from the wrist.
I don’t need to resist.
And all the neighbors get pissed when I come home.
I make em nervous. Yeah, I make em nervous.

Crack a window, crack a broken bone.
Crack your knuckles when you’re at home.
Lick an ice cream cone. Crack a bone.

All you had to do was ask.
Who is it that wears the mask?
When you give me the task.
Leave me broke and shirtless.
Check your lips at the door woman.
Shake your hips like battleships.

Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.
Sing. Sing. Sing.

I only got one face da da da da.
I tried too long to erase.
You know if I left. da da da da.
I wouldn’t leave a trace.

If I left you woman, you know, I wouldn’t leave a trace.
I wouldn’t leave a trace. I wouldn’t leave a trace.

If I left, you’d never see me again.
You’d never see me again.
I wouldn’t leave a trace.

Hands all over Western culture

\"Never Gonna Give You Up\"- Rick Astley

We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We’ve know each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching
But you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it

And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

give you up. give you up
give you up, give you up
never gonna give
never gonna give, give you up
never gonna give
never gonna give, five you up

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Sum 41 – Pieces

I tried to be perfect,
But nothing was worth it,
I don’t believe it makes me real.
I thought it’d be easy,
But no one believes me,
I meant all the things I said.

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show,
That I’m trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.

This place is so empty,
My thoughts are so tempting,
I don’t know how it got so bad.
Sometimes it’s so crazy,
that nothing can save me,
But it’s the only thing that I have.

If you believe it’s in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if it would show,
That I’m trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.

On my own…

I tried to be perfect,
It just wasn’t worth it,
Nothing could ever be so wrong.
It’s hard to believe me,
It never gets easy,
I guess I knew that all along.

If you believe it’s in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if it would show,
That I’m trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.

Doors on the rudders of big ships
We are revolving doors

There are doors that open by themselves
There are sliding doors and there are secret doors

There are doors that lock and doors that don’t

There are doors that let you in and out but never open

But they are trapdoors

That you can’t come back from

Genesis – Entangled

When you’re asleep they may show you
Aerial views of the ground,
Freudian slumber empty of sound.

Over the rooftops and houses,
Lost as it tries to be seen,
Fields of incentive covered with green.

Mesmerised children are playing,
Meant to be seen but not heard,
\"Stop me from dreaming!\"
\"Don’t be absurd!\"

\"Well if we can help you we will,
You’re looking tired and ill.
As I count backwards
Your eyes become heavier still.
Sleep, won’t you allow yourself fall?
Nothing can hurt you at all.
With your consent
I can experiment further still.\"

Madrigal music is playing,
Voices can faintly be heard,
\"Please leave this patient undisturbed.\"

Sentenced to drift far away now,
Nothing is quite what it seems,
Sometimes entangled in your own dreams.

\"Well, if we can help you we will,
Soon as you’re tired and ill.
With your consent
We can experiment further still.

Well, thanks to our kindness and skill
You’ll have no trouble until
You catch your breath
And the nurse will present you the bill

Beck – Pay No Mind (Snoozer)

(This is song two on the album
This is the album right here
Put on the album)

Tonight the city is full of morgues
And all the toilets are overflowing
There’s shopping malls
Coming out of the walls
As we walk out among the manure

That’s why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind

Give the finger to the rock ‘n’ roll singer
As he’s dancing upon your paycheck
The sales climb high
Through the garbage-pail sky
Like a giant dildo crushing the sun

That’s why
I pay no mind
Sleep in slime
I just got signed

So get out your lead-pipe pipe dreams
Get out your ten-foot flags
The insects are huge
And the poison’s all been used
And the drugs won’t kill your day job
Honey

That’s why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind

That’s why

Soul Asylum – Black Gold

Two boys on a playground
Tryin’ to push each other down
See the crowd gather ’round
Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd

Black gold in a white plight
Won’t you fill up the tank, let’s go for a ride
I don’t care ’bout no wheelchair
I’ve got so much left to do with my life

Moving backwards through time
Never learn, never mind
That side’s yours, this side’s mine
Brother you ain’t my kind

You’re a black soldier, white fight
Won’t you fill up the tank, let’s go for a ride
Sure like to feel some pride
But this place just makes me feel sad inside

Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight?

Keeps the kids off the streets
Gives ’em something to do, something to eat
This spot was a playground
This flat land used to be a town

Black gold in a white plight
Won’t you fill up the tank, let’s go for a ride
Sure like to feel some pride
But this place just makes me feel sad inside

Black gold in a white plight
Won’t you fill up the tank, let’s go for a ride
I don’t care ’bout no wheelchair
I’ve got so much left to do with my life

Tribute to my Irish heritage.

Fields of Athenry – the Lyrics

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Micheal they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyn’s corn
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

Chorus
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing
we had dreams and songs to sing
It’s so lonely ’round the Fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters Mary when you’re free,
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled they ran me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity.

Chorus

By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she’ll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It’s so lonely ’round the Fields of Athenry.

Chorus

System of a Down – \"Sad Statue\"

Conquest to the lover,
And your love to the fire,
Permanence unfolding in the absolute.

Forgiveness is
The ultimate sacrifice.
Eloquence belongs,
To the conqueror.

The pictures of time and space are rearranged,
In this little piece of typical tragedy.

Justified Candy!
Brandy for the nerves,
Eloquence belongs,
To the conqueror.

You and me will all go down in history,
With a sad Statue of Liberty,
And a Generation that didn’t agree.

You and me will all go down in history,
With a sad Statue of Liberty,
And a Generation that didn’t agree.

I forgot to
I forgot to let you know that…

Justified Candy!
Brandy for the nerves,
Eloquence belongs,
To the conqueror.

Conquest to the lover,
And your love to the fire,
Permanence unfolding in the absolute.

Forgiveness is
The ultimate sacrifice.
Eloquence belongs,
To the conqueror.

You and me will all go down in history,
With a sad Statue of Liberty,
And a Generation that didn’t agree.

You and me will all go down in history,
With a sad Statue of Liberty,
And a Generation that didn’t agree.

Generation…………..

What is in us that turns a deaf ear to the cries of human suffering?!!!

WOAH!!!!!!!

Suffering, suffering now!

You and me will all go down in history,
With a sad Statue of Liberty,
And a Generation that didn’t agree.

You and me will all go down in history,
With a sad Statue of Liberty,
And a Generation that didn’t agree.

Generation……….

Chris Cornell \"Preaching The End Of The World\"

Hello, I know there’s someone out there,
who can understand, and whose feeling,
the same way as me.
I’m 24, and I’ve got everything to live for,
but I know now, that it wasn’t meant to be.
Cause all has been lost and,
all has been won,
and there’s nothing left for us to save.
But now I know that I don’t wanna be alone today,
so if you’re finding, that you’re feeling just the same…

[chorus]
Call me now it’s alright,
It’s just the end of the world.
You need a friend in the world,
cause you can’t hide.
So call and I’ll get right back,
if your intentions are pure,
I’m seeking a friend, for the end, of the world.

I’ve got a photograph I send it off today,
you will see that, I am perfectly sane.
Not for a lifetime or forever any day,
cause we know now, that just won’t be the case.

[chorus]

With no commitment and no confessions and,
no little secrets to keep.
No little children or,
houses with roses,
just the end of the world and me.

Cause all has been gone and, all has been done,
and there’s nothing left for us to say.
But we could be together as they blow it all away
and we could share in every moment as it breaks.

[chorus]

[marigold]

^^ ha look at that, another end of the world song.

Shihad – Beautiful Machine

Something missing in our brains, yeah
We all used to live in caves, yeah
Build the world, thats in our heads, yeah
And its not over yet

(What’s holding you back?)
We roll through space, all looking up
(What’s holding you back?)
To fall like waves on sand
Beautiful Machine
Show me what you see

We’re a million miles away, yeah
From where we should all be today
There’s a lot that we regret
That we should never forget

What were you thinking of?

Slowly drifting out in space
We all used to live in caves
We build the world thats in our heads
And its not over yet

What’s holding you back?

[Daysofthephoenix]

I always liked the lyrics to this song, well the whole album.

Elf Power- Peel Back the Moon, Beware!
Coming all around us in the blue light of the morning
The whole entire world was in your eyes
Felt so powerless and simple, the rain was on the window
Sliding down and dripping all inside

So I walked down by the water, saw the pulsing mass was shining
Listened to the things out in the night
Threw my dollars on the fire, crawled out through the wire
Hoping we’d eventually collide

Hold my head to the skin I said, when my heart wasn’t always there
As you turn down the light in the long black night, peel back the moon, beware!

Through the darkness I kept moving, down the streets and through the alleys
Hiding in the doorways from the cold
And everything was pretty, stealing through the city
Always somewhere better left to go

So I climbed up on the mountain and the clouds were all around me
I stumbled on, I could not see the light
Always running from the slaughter, trembling through the water
Trying to find away back down inside

Hold my head to the skin I said, when my heart wasn’t always there
as you turn down the light in the long black night, peel back the moon, beware!

In the shadows I was walking, I was hidden from the morning
Everything just seemed to fade away
I was living in a movie, you never even knew me
The people looked right through the city

[jupiter]

i am in love with the first verse of this song

Live – Dolphins cry

The way you’re bathed in light
reminds me of that night
god laid me down into your rose garden of trust
and I was swept away
with nothin’ left to say
some helpless fool
yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace
you’re all I need to find
so when the time is right
come to me sweetly, come to me
come to me

love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it’s in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us

oh yeah, we meet again
it’s like we never left
time in between was just a dream
did we leave this place?
this crazy fog surrounds me
you wrap your legs around me
all I can do to try and breathe
let me breathe so that I
so we can go together!

love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it’s in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us

life is like a shooting star
it don’t matter who you are
if you only run for cover, it’s just a waste of time
we are lost ’til we are found
this phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over

over
over
singin’ la da da, da da da
over
come to me
singin’ la da da da, da da da
come to me

^^ good song – I like this part:

life is like a shooting star

and all these wars are over

Eminem – Still Don’t Give a Fuck

A lot of people ask me.. am I afraid of death..
Hell yeah I’m afraid of death
I don’t want to die yet
A lot of people think.. that I worship the devil..
that I do all types of.. retarded shit
Look, I can’t change the way I think
And I can’t change the way I am
But if I offended you? Good
Cause I still don’t give a fuck

I’m zonin off of one joint, stoppin a limo
Hopped in the window, shoppin a demo at gunpoint
A lyricist without a clue, what year is this?
Fuck a needle, here’s a sword, bodypierce with this
Livin amuk, never givin a fuck
Gimme the keys I’m drunk, and I’ve never driven a truck
But I smoke dope in a cab
I’ll stab you with the sharpest knife I can grab
Come back the next week and re-open your scab (YEAH!)
A killer instinct runs in the blood
Emptyin full clips and buryin guns in the mud
I’ve calmed down now — I was heavy once into drugs
I could walk around straight for two months with a buzz
My brain’s gone, my soul’s worn and my spirit is torn
The rest of my body’s still bein operated on
I’m ducked the fuck down while I’m writin this rhyme
Cause I’m probably gonna get struck with lightnin this time

[Chorus:]

For all the weed that I’ve smoked – yo this blunt’s for you
To all the people I’ve offended – yeah fuck you too!
To all the friends I used to have – yo I miss my past
But the rest of you assholes can KISS MY ASS
For all the drugs that I’ve done – yo I’m still gon’ do
To all the people I’ve offended – yeah fuck you too!
For everytime I reminisce – yo I miss my past
But I still don’t give a fuck, y’all can KISS MY ASS

I walked into a gunfight with a knife to kill you
And cut you so fast when your blood spilled it was still blue
I’ll hang you til you dangle and chain you with both ankles
And pull you apart from both angles
I wanna crush your skull til your brains leaks out of your veins
And bust open like broken water mains
So tell Saddam not to bother with makin another bomb
Cause I’m crushin the whole world in my palm
Got your girl on my arm and I’m armed with a firearm
So big my entire arm is a giant firebomb
Buy your mom a shirt with a Slim Shady iron-on
And the pants to match (\"Here momma try em on\")
I get imaginative with a mouth full of adjectives,
a brain full of adverbs, and a box full of laxatives
(Shittin on rappers) Causin hospital accidents
God help me before I commit some irresponsible acts again

[Chorus]

I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it
Spend a million a track and went over my budget (Ohh shit!)
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can’t rap anymore – I just murdered the alphabet
Drug sickness got me doin some bugged twitches
I’m withdrawn from crack so bad my blood itches
I don’t rap to get the women – fuck bitches
Give me a fat slut that cooks and does dishes
Never ran with a click – I’m a posse
Kamikaze, strappin a motherfuckin bomb across me
From the second I was born, my momma lost me
I’m a cross between Manson, Esham and Ozzy
I don’t know why the fuck I’m here in the first place
My worst day on this earth was my first birthday
Retarded? What did that nurse say? Brain damage?
Fuck, I was born during the earthquake

[Chorus]

i like the first line of the chorus!

Marigold, they are an indie pop band that formed in the 1990s.
They were part of the Elephant 6 collective along with Neutral Milk Hotel.

That song I posted lyrics to was off their 2006 album Back to the Web.

Lovedrug – The Monster

The sky is growing dark,
you should pack your bags and leave your children behind,
I hear Egypt is nice this time of year,
the shadows from outside are creeping in here,
in dreams it seems you’re lacking of the dreams you need to wake up,
just to run out of luck
Careful, the monster is round that corner and he’s waiting for blood tonight,
he knows that you might fight back
your eyes are growing dark,
the windows to your soul are showing off,
it’s hard for me to say \"that’s how I like it,\"
baby the screaming from the cellar never helps
You’re dreams they seem to leave you alone,
in dreams it seems you can’t fight,
but some weapons would be nice
Careful, the monster is down that hallway drooling over your tasty arm,
he knows that you can’t harm him ever
But he doesn’t know you’ve got an exorcism show,
but he knows, rot in hell, rot in hell

[jupiter]

Orestes – A Perfect Circle (by Billy Howerdell, not Maynard)

metaphor for a missing moment pull me into your perfect circle one womb one shape one resolve liberate this will to release us all
gotta cut away clear away snip away and sever this umbilical residue that’s keeping me from killing you and from pulling you down with me here i can almost hear you scream
give me one more medicated peaceful moment because i don’t want to feel this overwhelming hostility

NIN – the fragile

She shines
In a world full of ugliness
She matters when everything is meaningless

Fragile
She doesn’t see her beauty
She tries to get away
Sometimes
It’s just that nothing seems worth saving
I can’t watch her slip away

I won’t let you fall apart

She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
Hoping someone can see
If i could fix myseld i’d-
But it’s too late for me

I wont let you fall apart

We’ll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I’ll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
…but they keep waiting
…and picking…

It’s something i have to do
I was there, too
Before everyhting else
I was like you

The Coral Sea – Lake and Ocean

You don’t fight
You don’t sigh
You don’t listen back
Even on the trail of love
You’re all done
We’re not finished yet
Seeing heights my heart bequeaths
You don’t see
You don’t need
You don’t matter now
Even on the trail of love
You don’t fall
You don’t recognize
All the things I did for you
But I am over the things you did to me
It’s uneasy but it’s true
I did not say and didn’t I treat you right?
You are breaking me down
I did not treat you right
I’m breaking you down
All and all you’re just a lake inside my ocean
All and all you’re just for me
All and all you’re just a lake inside my ocean
Anyway I see.

Boy and Bear – Feeding Line

My body moves in time
We’re begging on the feeding line
We’re lifting out above this head space
See my body overflows

But I got my whole damn life
Caught up in moments entirely of yours
But I’m finding it harder to reason in order to grow
And finding it hard is a feeling that all of you know
Know, know

See my body keeps in line
And I got my whole damn life
Oh I want to be somebody, somebody, someone
You’re so desperate now
No, you won’t let it go
But you bit off your tongue to become one

And nevertheless when this pain in my chest seems to grow
I’m living it harder to feel what it feels like to know
You know, know, know

*whistling*

In the home I lived in I came to grow
My body’s cumbersome and it’s slow
But I felt it felt it coming over me

I got my whole damn life
Caught up in moments entirely of yours
I’m finding it harder to reason in order to grow
And finding it hard is a feeling that all of you know

Nevertheless, when this pain in my chest seems to grow
And you know
You know, know, know

[marigold]

Mutemath \"All Or Nothing\"

Aligning stars that you wait for
Always know if you’re holding back
Don’t slow yourself down anymore

We watch the days fly
While all the years try
Telling us something
Don’t waste a whole life
On just a half try
It’s all or nothing

Cold sparks are seconds from burn out
Everyone has an hour glass
To turn back upside down

We watch the days fly
While all the years try
Telling us something
Don’t waste a whole life
On just a half try
It’s all or nothing

gravity – a perfect circle
(paz’s last song with them)

Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live

I fell again
Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go
High and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live

Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom

Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Bleeding(needy?) hole
Please release me

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me
Heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live

The Coral Sea – In Between the Days

In between the days
Sometimes you need a change
Give your tears a treat
I want to make your heart beat

I miss my world somebody kill me
I miss my world somebody thrill me

Just draw just draw your dream
A place you can project your day dreams

I want to do something
That takes my breath away
And makes me not want to go home
At the end of the day

Truth soaks sadly in song
While you get to swim in my palm

Made in Heaven live your style
What are you waiting for
You don’t need to make others change their view
For you to make a decision

I want to do something
That takes my breath away
And makes me not want to go home
At the end of the day

In between the days

Them Crooked Vultures – No One Loves Me & Neither Do I

think i saw her for the first time maybe in a news stand
she was pickin’ a mag and dressed oblique
she called me baby, and was it me maybe with the song on the radio
so I told her i was rich, then she asked could i use a dirty bitch?
(of course)

then she said, no one loves me and neither do i
you get what you give
i give goodbye
if i should vanish
don’t get caught off guard
don’t hold it against me
unless it gets hard

if sex is a weapon, then smash, boom, pow,
how you like me now?
you can’t always do it right, but you can always do what’s left
so i told her i was trash, she winked and laughed and said, i already know…
i’ve got a beautiful place to put your face and she was right

then i said, no one loves me… neither do i
it makes perfect sense
so I never ask why
all gone tomorrow
because life doesn’t wait
you can keep your soul
i don’t wanna soul mate

call me i’m loose and ready to go
people in a world about to lose control

i know how to burn with passion
hold nothing back for future ration
give all you are, do not make haste
savor every single taste

you get …cut

i know how to be controlled
do opposites of what you’re told
be quick, react, to break the box
turn on queue, as your cell door locks

behind you

i know how to be lost in lust
not because you should, but because you must
it burns white hot, and so clouds the mind
its lightning strike isn’t always kind

so use me up
use me up

\"War Within A Breath\" Rage Against the Machine

Every official that comes in
Cripples us leaves us maimed
Silent and tamed
And with our flesh and bones
He builds his homes
Southern fist
Rise through tha jungle mist
Clenched to smash power so cancerous
A black flag and a red star
A rising sun loomin’ over Los Angeles
Cause for Raza livin in La La
Is like Gaza on to tha dawn of Intifada
Reach for tha lessons tha masked pass on
And seize tha metropolis
It’s you that it’s built on
Everything can change on a new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
And everything changed on a new years day, c’mon

War within a breath

War within a breath
It’s land!

Their existence is a crime
Their seat their robe their tie
Their land deeds
Their hired guns
They’re tha crime
Shots heard underground round tha rapture
Tha world’s eye captured
At last in a Mexican pasture
Tha masked screaming land or death
Within a breath
A war from tha depth of time
Who shot four puppet governors in a line
Who shook all tha world bankers
Who think they can rhyme
Shot tha landlords who knew it was mine
Yes, it’s a war from tha depth of time

Everything can change on a new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
And everything can change on a new years day, c’mon

Oh, Hear the masked scream

i can’t move her
obsessed with protection
this is a bad idea
she needs affection
what, me?

drive around town forced to talk
pass that church again
where’s the parking spot
it’s sinatra’s world
she just lives here
i hate everything as much as
i hate me

what’s the best for me?

she doesn’t see me
i don’t care
just move around some and
fix your stare
i had more fun
took half the time
cost three bucks, buy a magazine

and if it speaks less than a thousand words yeah if it tells a lie
you’re right
you’re always right
before new day arrives
we’ll leave our buried shoeboxes
our capsules filled with time
and come alive
we’ll come to life…

Crowded House – into temptation

You opened up your door
I couldn’t believe my luck
You in your new blue dress
Taking away my breath
The cradle is soft and warm
Couldn’t do me no harm
You’re showing me how to give

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation

A muddle of nervous words
Could never amount to betrayal
Sentences all my own
And the price is to watch it fail
As I turn to go
You looked at me for half a second
With an open invitation for me to go

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation
Safe in the wide open arms of hell

We can go sailing in
Climb down
Lose yourself when you linger long
Into temptation
Right where you belong

The guilty get no sleep
In the last slow hours of morning
Experience is cheap
I should’ve listened to the warning
But the cradle is soft and warm

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into your wide open arms
No way to break the spell
Break this spell
Don’t tell

the lyrics are pretty personal to me, at this stage.

it may not be played at my funeral, but should be given out and listened to by everyone there!

why do you think its not a funeral song?
i think any song can be used by any person in any way!
there may be some copyright issues……..enter wpc and the bulk of humanity!

why do you think its not a funeral song?
[/quote:o07fkesp]

because it’s about being tempted by a girl, doesn’t make sense to have it at a funeral!

[jupiter]

remember, love is suicide! (very real for some ppl )

\"into temptation, knowing full well the earth will rebel\"
\"can a taste of love be so wrong?\"

[marigold]

ok

[jupiter]

like ALL lyrics, they arent meant to say \"haha, i’m right and you’re wrong\"!

you’re a good friend Deb!

[marigold]

yeah, I get ya now

Shihad – Ignite

This was you and me, a memory
What better place to start
Somewhere in between the final scene
We’ve fallen so far
And you can’t go fixing everything without a heart
You can run and hide but you can’t stay where you are

So hold on, you will meet your soul tonight
‘Cause nothing else can help you set it right
With no one to hold your feet up to the fire
You’re left waiting for the moment to ignite

Life’s bigger now, brighter now
The past is dead and done
You would work it out
But don’t know how to tell anyone
Yeah you hope and plead
Your questions screaming at the dark
Just waiting for the answer
Waiting for the answer

So hold on, you will meet your soul tonight
‘Cause nothing else can help you set it right
With no one to hold your feet up to the fire
You’re left waiting for the moment
Waiting for the moment
You’re left waiting for the moment to arrive

Everyone’s in love with you and everybody cares
If every word you say is true is anybody’s guess
Everyone’s in love with you and everybody stares
And after all they’ve done for you there’s still nobody there
Everyone’s in love with you and everybody cares
If every word you say is true is anybody’s guess
Everyone’s in love with you and everybody stares
And after all they’ve done for you there’s still nobody there

So hold on you will meet your soul tonight
‘Cause nothing else can help you set it right
With no one to hold your feet up to the fire
You’re left waiting for the moment to ignite

So hold on you will meet your soul tonight
‘Cause nothing else can help you set it right
With no one to hold your feet up to the fire
You’re left waiting for the moment
Waiting for the moment
You’re left waiting for the moment to ignite

Madrugada – Only when you’re gone

Only when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
And away
Only when you’re gone
Gonna need a hammer and nails
To construct this bitter love song
This cruel testamented song
That rings out only when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
And away
Only when you’re gone
Oh

Rude are the tongues of love
That speak of mercy for us all
And leave us only with a song
And leave us only with a song
Now it’s a cold and hollow whisper
That consoles my body when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
And away
Only when you’re gone
Oh

And its only when you’re gone
And away
Your ghost runs through me in that special way
It’s a nice old town
My hometown
Come for the darkness in this prison cell
I love you long and I love you well

So bury me in the kitchen
Bury me in the stones
Oh, bury me everywhere you go
In the shadows of the hallway
Oh, for we do no longer know
What we can no longer hold
On days like these our heads fill up with smoke
And our memories grow old
Only when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
And away
Only when you’re gone

Only when you’re gone
Only, only when you’re gone
Only when you’re gone
And away
Only when you’re gone

Gone away
And gone away…

Nirvana – If You Must

i can read, i can write
i can breed, proven flight
nurse my greed, crease infold
is it me, or my ego
write some words, make them rhyme
thesis or storyline
set the mood, something new
is it me, or my attitude

if you want to put off an image
the extremes, the extremes
act it out
practicing
perfecting
pressuring
onto me
onto me
onto me

i will wade in the fire
to explain your asylum
idle times, analyzing
we’ll compare all our sightings
you must

i speak to hear my voice

i can read, i can write
i can breed, proven flight
nurse my greed, crease infold
is it me, or my ego
write some words, make them rhyme
thesis or storyline
set the mood, something new
is it me, or my attitude

if you want to put off an image
the extremes, the extremes
act it out
practicing
perfecting
pressuring
onto me
onto me
onto me
onto me
onto me
onto me
onto me

Lovedrug – Ghost by your side

Remember I told you in life and death
Don’t bury our secrets, they will not they tear us apart
Because love means going this far
Even when the ending is only the start

If you dive into the ocean then I
Will be the wave around you tonight
And if you’re sinking then oh, it’s alright
‘Cause I will be the ghost who is at your side

Remember your demons will surface and fight
But I will be a good phantom
And keep on romancing this cold little devil’s tribe
And hold them away
While you are escaping into the light

So tell me where you’ve gone by now
I’m getting no reception on my heart radio
Now meet me where the angels collide
And I will be the ghost who is at your side

Now I’m changing (oh oh)
I am changing (changing)
Now I’m changing for you, love

When you dive into the ocean alive
Oh, I will be the ghost at your side
And if you fall into the devil’s tribe
Oh, I will be the ghost at your side
And when anywhere the angels collide
Oh, I will be the ghost at your side
Now dive into the blinding light…

Jeff Buckley – Opened Once

I once was open
And one with a travelling heart
I loved this sweet guy

Just like the fiction
Rushing in your riverbed
Arise like applause in my head

And in the half-light
Where we both stand
This is the half-light
See me as I am

Just like the ocean
Always in love with the moon
It’s overflowing now
Inside you

We fly right over
The minds of so many in pain
We are the smile of light that brings them rain

In the half light
Where we both stand
In the half light
You saw me as I am

I am a railroad track abandoned
With the sunset
Forgetting
I ever happened
That I ever happened.

RIP Jeff

Pearl Jam – Bugs

all these
i got bugs
i got bugs in my room
bugs in my bed
bugs in my ears
their eggs in my head
bugs in my pockets
bugs in my shoes
bugs in the way i feel about you
bugs on my window
trying to get in
they don’t go nowhere
waiting, waiting
bugs on my ceiling
crowded the floor
standing, sitting, kneeling
a few block the door
and now the questions
do i kill them?
become their friend?
do i eat them?
raw or well done?
do i trick them?
i don’t think they’re dumb
do i join them?
looks like that’s the one
i got bugs on my skin
tickle my nausea
i let it happen again
they’re always takin’ over
i see they surround me, i see
see them deciding my fate
oh, that which was once
was once up to me
now it’s too late
i got bugs in my room
one on one
that’s when i had a chance
i’ll just stop now
i’ll become naked
and with them
i’ll become one
