Bright Eyes - Let's Not Shit Ourselves (To Love And To Be Loved)

 

can I get a goddamn tympani roll, or what the fuck?

 

well the animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness

a baby cries hard in an apartment complex

as I pass a car buried under the influence

the city's driving me out of my mind

I have seen a child caught in that sad trap of gravity

he falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree

and lands in the grass and weeps for his dignity

next time he will not aim so high

yeah, next time, neither will I

 

now a mother takes loans out, sends her kids off to colleges

her family's reduced to names on a shopping list

while a coroner kneels beneath a great wooden crucifix

he knows there's worse things than being alone

and so I've learned to retreat at the first sign of danger

I mean, why wait around, if it's just to surrender?

and ambition I've found can only lead to failure

and I do not read the reviews

no I am not singing for you

woo!

 

I stood dropping a coin into the pit of a well

and I would throw my whole billfold if I thought it would help

with all these wishes I make I should by something real

at least a telephone call home

well my teachers they built this retaining wall memory

all those multiple choices I answered so quickly

and I got my grades back and I forgot them just as easily

but as least I got an A

so I don't have them to blame

 

I should stop pointing fingers, reserve my judgment

of all those public action figures, the cowboy presidents

so loud behind the bullhorn, so proud they can't admit

when they've made a mistake

while poison ink spews from a speechwriter's pen

he knows he don't have to say it so it don't bother him

"honesty" "accuracy" are really just "popular opinion"

and the approval rating's high

yeah so someone's gonna die

 

well ABC, NBC, CBS: bullshit

they give us fact or fiction? I guess an even split

and each new act of war is tonight's entertainment

we're still the pawns in their game

as they take an eye for an eye til no one can see

we must stumble blindly forward repeating history

well I guess we all fit into your slogan on the fast food marquee

red-blooded white-skinned oh and the blues

oh and the blues, I got the blues, that's me

that's me, that's fuckin' me

 

well, I awoke in relief, my sheets and tubes were all tangled

weak from whiskey and pills in a Chicago hospital

and my father was there in a chair by the window, starin' so far away

and I tried talking, I just whispered, "so sorry... so selfish..."

he stopped me and said, "child I love you regardless

and there's nothing you could do that would ever change this

I'm not angry, it happens, but you just can't do it again"

so I'm gonna try to keep up, I've been exchanging my currency

while a million objects pass through my periphery

now I'm rubbin' my eyes cos they're startin' to bother me

I've been starin' too long at the screen

but where was it that I first heard that sweet sound of humility?

it came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody

how grateful I was then to be part of the mystery

to love and be loved

let's just hope that is enough!

"Glory Box" Portishead

I'm so tired of playing,

Playing with this bow and arrow,

Gonna give my heart away,

Leave it to the other girls to play,

For I've been a temptress too long.

Hmm just,

Give me a reason to love you,

Give me a reason to be,

A woman,

I just wanna be a woman.

From this time, unchained,

We’re all looking at a different picture,

Through this new frame of mind,

A thousand flowers could bloom,

Move over, and give us some room.

Yeah, give me a reason to love you,

Give me a reason to be,

A woman,

I just want to be a woman.

So don't you stop, being a man,

Just take a little look from our side when you can,

Sow a little tenderness,

No matter if you cry.

Give me a reason to love you,

Give me a reason to be,

A woman,

It's all I wanna be is all woman.

For this is the beginning of forever and ever,

It's time to move over ,

So I want to be.

Incubus - Just A Phase

 

I am bottled, fizzy water, and you are shaking me up.

You are a fingernail running down the chalkboard

I thought I left in third grade.

Now my only consolation is that this could not

Last forever even though you're singing and thinking

How well you've got it made

Who are you? When will you be through?

Yeh it's just a phase..it will be over soon.

Yeh it's just a phase and I'm waiting for it to be over too.

Call it 'women's intuition' but I think im onto

Something here. Tempoaryism has been the

'Black Plague' and the 'Jesus' of our age.

I know I must sound opinionated, maybe biased

and quite possibly jaded. but sooner than later

they'll be throwing quarters at you on stage.

Who are you? When will you be through?

Yeh, its just a phase..it will be over soon

Yeh its just a phase and i'm waiting for it to be over too

Aha - Hunting High And Low

 

Here I am

And within the reach of my hands

She sounds asleep and she's sweeter now

Than the wildest dream could have seen her

And I Watch her slipping away

Though I know I'll be hunting high and low

 

High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

Hunting high and low

High

There's no end to lengths I'll go

 

To find her again

Upon this my dreams are depending

Through the dark

I sense the pounding of her heart

Next to mine

She's the sweetest love I could find

So I guess I'll be hunting high and low

 

High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

High and Low

High

Do you know what it means to love you...

 

I'm hunting high and low

And now she's telling me she's got to

go away

I'll always be hunting high and low

Hungry for you

Watch me tearing myself to pieces

Hunting high and low

 

High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and

low

"Kryptonite" - 3 Doors Down

 

I took a walk around the world to

Ease my troubled mind

I left my body lying somewhere

In the sands of time

I watched the world float to the dark

Side of the moon

I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

 

I watched the world float to the

Dark side of the moon

After all I knew it had to be something

To do with you

I really don't mind what happens now and then

As long as you'll be my friend at the end

 

Chorus:

If I go crazy then will you still

Call me Superman

If I'm alive and well, will you be

There holding my hand

I'll keep you by my side with

My superhuman might

Kryptonite

 

You called me strong, you called me weak

But still your secrets I will keep

You took for granted all the times I

Never let you down

You stumbled in and bumped your head, if

Not for me then you'd be dead

I picked you up and put you back

On solid ground

 

Chorus

 

Oh whoa whoa

 

Chorus (2x)

Norah Jones - Feelin the same way

 

The sun just slipped its note below my door

And I can't hide beneath my sheets

I've read the words before so now I know

The time has come again for me

 

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again

Feelin' the same way all over again

Singin' the same lines all over again

No matter how much I pretend

 

Another day that I can't find my head

My feet don't look like they're my own

I'll try and find the floor below to stand

And I hope I reach it once again

 

And I'm feelin' the same way...

Sevendust - SUFFOCATE

 

Hate all the blood on my hands

And the sins that bleed from my soul

Take it all away make it

Go away

 

BRIDGE

Stand up for bein' the last one to control

(But) what you can't see is bein' the last one to know

*(Repeat)

 

CHORUS:

Fade into a dream

Try and save me from myself now

Save me from myself now

Fallen from the world

If I could ever breathe in the

Air maybe then I wouldn't suffocate

 

Face all the things that were

Real to me long ago to save my

Name I never thought it would

Be such a long way to fall

 

BRIDGE

 

CHORUS

"New York" - U2

 

In New York freedom looks like

Too many choices

In New York I found a friend

To drown out the other voices

 

Voices on a cell phone

Voices from home

Voices through the hard sell

Voices down a stairwell

In New York

Just got a place in New York

 

In New York summers get hot

Well into the hundreds

You can walk around the block

Without a change of clothing

 

Hot as a hair dryer in your face

Hot as handbag and a can of mace

New York

I just got a place in New York

 

New York New York

 

In New York you can forget

Forget how to sit still

Tell yourself you will stay in

But it's down to Alphaville(?)

 

New York

New York, New York

 

New York, New York

New York

 

The Irish been coming here for years

Feel like they own the place

They got the airport, city hall

The asphalt dance floor (??)

They even got the police

 

Irish, Italians, Jews and Hispanics

Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew

Happily not like me and you

That's where I lost you

 

New York

New York, New York

New York

New York, New York

 

New York

New York

 

In New York I lost it all

To you and your vices

Still I'm staying on to figure out

Midlife crisis

 

I hit an iceberg in my life

You know I'm still afloat

You lose your balance, lose your wife

In the queue for the lifeboat

 

You better put the women and children first

But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York

 

New York

New York

New York, New York

 

In the stillness of the evening

When the sun has had its day

I heard your voice whispering

Come away now

 

New, New York

New...

New York

 

New York

Toxicity- System of A Down

 

Conversion software version 7.0

Looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub,

Eating seeds as a past time activity,

The toxicity of our city, of our city,

 

New, what do you own the world?

How do you own disorder, disorder,

Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,

Sacred silence and sleep,

Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,

Disorder, disorder, disorder.

 

More wood for their fires, loud neighbors,

Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck,

Eating seeds as a best time activity,

The toxicity of our city, of our city,

 

New, what do you own the world?

How do you own disorder, disorder,

Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,

Sacred silence and sleep,

Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,

Disorder, disorder, disorder.

 

New, what do you own the world?

How do you own disorder, disorder,

Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,

Sacred silence and sleep,

Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,

Disorder, disorder, disorder.

 

When I became the sun,

I shone life into the man's hearts,

When I became the sun,

I shone life into the man's hearts.

 

Pistola- Incubus (new song :D)

 

On the tip of my tongue an offence, it is poised and rearing

My intentional bone in my body, a trigger finger

 

Your wepon's a Pistola

I don't need to fear, fear you

Your wepon's a Pistola

 

My secret arsenal is an impotent ageless (feedwell?)

It's a fountain of youth and patriot's wepon of choice

 

Your wepon's a Pistola

I don't need to fear, fear you

Your wepon's a Pistola

 

On the tip of my tongue an offence, it is poised and rearing

My intentional bone in my body, a trigger finger

 

Your wepon's a Pistola

I don't need to fear!

Your wepon's a Pistola

 

Finding Me- Vertical Horizon

 

I don't think you notice

when you see my face

I guess you're waiting

to spin me around again

 

Wheels I guess are turning

somewhere inside my head

I know that this is

deeper than you get

 

But you're coming back again

You don't mean to waste my time

But you're coming back so

 

Chorus:

Don't tell me

I''ll never be

'cause I like some suffering

Don't ask me

what I need

I'm just fine

here finding me

Me

 

I've already given

up on getting through

I never question

who I'm talking to

 

Oh, so much for nothing

but nothing means so much

I know it's touching

but I've been out of touch

 

And it's all that I can do

I'm a sight for my sore eyes

But it's all I am so

 

Chorus (1x)

 

I don't think you notice

when I can't reach out

I guess you're waiting

on somebody else again

 

Oh, so much for talking

It's all been said before

I'm hearing something

but I wish you'd just say more

 

But you're going off again

when I try to just hold on

But you're going off so

 

Chorus (1x)

 

Finding me

Me

 

Wasted- Vertical Horizon

 

Oh, somebody else is looking up

Oh, somebody else is showing how you do it

I never fall in love

I just fall out of it

I never get enough

I just say enough of this

And I've had enough of this

 

Wasted words you gave me

Wasted talk is cheap

Wasted, I think your eyes are killing me

Wasted somewhere in between

 

Oh, another fight is going down

Oh, and nobody else is making a sound

I always say too much

I always miss the bus

I never get enough

I just say enough of this

I've had enough of this

 

Wasted words you gave me

Wasted talk is cheap

Wasted, I think your eyes are killing me

Wasted somewhere in between

 

Oh, I guess I'm breaking through

Oh, and it's all the same without you

I never fell in love

I just fell out of it

I never had enough

I just had enough of this

I've had enough of this

 

Wasted words you gave me

Wasted talk is cheap

Wasted, I think your eyes are killing me

Wasted somewhere

 

Sunshine- Vertical Horizon

 

Sometimes I can't get enough of you

This friendly game keeps getting rough

I think I'm breaking through

I cannot hide this well

As well as I should

There's always something left to tell

And tell me is it good?

 

Chorus

I see you

Do you see me too?

Close your eyes and meet me in the sunshine

Come on through

I will find you

Close your eyes and meet me in the sunshine

 

I guess you chose a different road

and I am not aware

I got no one that's been closed

Shutdown for a dare

I hope that I weigh in my head

Who lives like a king

I throw away the things I said

And I said everything

 

Chorus

 

Meet me in the sunshine

Meet me in the sunshine

 

There's something better in this league

I'm getting it all

I feel the warmth, I feel the greed

and I feel the fall

I hope this window's wide enough

to keep the whole world

I want to spit out all this stuff

and keep the girl

 

Chorus

 

Meet me in the sunshine

Meet me in the sunshine

 

The Man Who Would Be Santa- Vertical Horizon

 

And the man who would be Santa slips into the room

And the hour of daylight's yet to come but he hopes they don't wake too soon

All the presents wrapped in paper and tied with a bow

The children sleep upstairs and Santa works below

And he can hear the children dreaming

 

Chorus

And he says

All I want is for you to have

A life you love and live

Take from me all I have to give

Because you are in my heart

 

And the man who would be Santa tells his son to write

And to call him if he needs him in the middle of the night

Don't you worry don't you cry now you'll do just fine

Your mother and I love you

We think about you all the time

And he can see the train is leaving

 

Chorus

 

Now the old man sits and tells of days when time stood still

The hours always seem to fade but the memory never will

All the love that you gave me

All the dreams in the night

And I just want to thank you while the day's still light

But I can see the sun is setting

 

Chorus

Vineyard- Jackopierce

 

It's six o'clock now in the morning

As I wait for my train to come

To take me somewhere just outside of Boston

As I run to find the other sun

 

Now I'm leaving more behind than I care to talk about

Just more pain than this hard a man can use

As this big world's always spinning

All that I thought I was winning

I never thought, I never thought I'd lose

And this great force it takes me to the ferry

To cross wind and water so untamed

And while on that ship my life just seems so very

Small in comparison to everything around

 

There’s a girl over there she’s got mahogany hair

And eyes of sweet amethyst

I bow as she curtseys

She doesn’t look like she’s gonna hurt me

So I decide to add her to my list

And she says

She says

 

Won’t you stay on the vineyard for the summer

Won’t you stay on the vineyard for the year

We'll find a little house down there in Oak Bluffs

And our children is all that we hear

 

I seems now that I should be going

As that one day turned into five or six

Although I’m loving all the beautiful things she’s showing me

I pack up and am enveloped by the mist

 

But that girl over there has mahogany hair

And her eyes of sweet amethyst

I think maybe it would be better

If I just wrote her a letter

But instead she grabs me and we kiss

And she says, And she says

 

Won’t you stay on the vineyard for the summer

Won’t you stay on the vineyard for the year

We'll find a little house down there in Oak Bluffs

And our children is all that we'll hear

 

Won’t you stay on the vineyard for the summer

Won’t you stay on the vineyard for the year

We’ll find a little house down there in Oak Bluffs

And our children is all that we'll hear

 

Jacob- Jackopierce

 

Jacob's a fine boy

but his parents don't get along

they hardly talk, when they do

he thinks he's done something wrong

he heard all the screaming

as he lay down to bed

he should have been sleeping

but he listened instead

they say he's fine

it's not his fault

between the lines he somehow got caught

'and in our game

it's more like war

i just don't think i love you anymore'

he picked up the phone

his tears touched the receiver

his grandmother answered down in Tempe

he told her the story

that his daddy was leaving

she tried to convince him it was nothing he'd done

she said 'you're fine

it's not your fault

between the lines

you somehow got caught

and in their game

it sounds more like war

i just don't think she loves him anymore'

Jacob's a father

and his kids are in teens

he's done what he could to make meager ends meet

when it comes down to family

it's the primary goal

to keep the thing working

no matter the toll

his sons heard them screaming

about something he said

he opened the door and invited them in

he said 'Now sons

it's not your fault

between the lines you somehow got caught

so when you're hurt

you lean on the crutch

but i still love your mother very much'

he said 'Now sons

it's not your fault

between the lines you somehow got caught

so when you're hurt

you lean on the crutch

but i still love your mother very much'

when you're hurt

lean to me

oh

Heart In Hand- Vertical Horizon

 

I know it's been a long road

To get these towns behind me and I

Will gladly reap what we may sow I am

There for you and you're there for me

 

Pictures and photographs

Memories and windows

Goodbyes and epitaphs

Heartbeats and hellos

 

::Chorus::

Are you waiting for

Heart in hand

Woman and man

See me where I stand I am

Heart

Heart in hand

 

These fields may hold a hunting ground

But the wolves are far behind me and I

Hear the howls and the distant sound

Of the messengers lost at sea

 

Into the morning light

Followed by madness

Reach through the empty fight

Searching through sadness

 

::Chorus::

 

I know it's been a long road

To get these fears behind me and I

Will gladly reap what we may sow I am

There for you and you're there for me

 

Pictures and photographs

Memories and windows

Goodbyes and epitaphs

Heartbeats and hellos

 

::Chorus::

 

Life In The City- Vertical Horizon

 

Cut it down go put it away

Take an inside look on the outside

Another day

 

Take time look at the sunshine

Have mine it's better on you anyway

 

Nobody's perfect all the time

But I know you

And you know me

And it's alright

 

I'm waking up gonna buy me some shoes

Take a long walk out of the hindsight start anew

 

Look around maybe buy a new topcoat

Stop moping the rain's gonna rain through

Rain through on you

Yes it's true that

 

Nobody's sunny all the time

But I know you and you know me

And it's alright

 

And it's your life

and it's my life

It's our life in the city

 

Get a new place out in the hills

Plant a seed I'm in need of a break from the fire drill

Repaint where all the paint ain't

Get a clean slate and maybe we can buy a thrill

I'll foot that bill

Yes I will 'cause

 

Nobody's busy all the time

But I know you

And you know me

And it's alright

 

Famous- Vertical Horizon

 

Oh I know

That things are gonna change

The only thing for certain

Is that nothing stays the same

But all I want

Is love from you

Give me your hand

To hold on to

And if tears fill your eyes

Listen to my music it's no surprise

 

Chorus

I don't want to be famous in life

I don't want to be famous in the world

I just want to be famous

Famous

I want to be famous in your eyes

 

Oh I know

The wind is gonna blow

And in the winter

There's sure to be snow

But with the warmth of your smile

And the sun of your face

Shine on me in the darkness

With your love and grace

And if time hides my eyes

Listen to my music and recognize

 

Chorus

 

And if time hides my eyes

Listen to my music

Listen to my music and recognize

 

Chorus

 

Angel Without Wings- Vertical Horizon

 

We started out so brand new darling

But now it seems that nothing can change your mind

I have seen your city lights

But have you seen my country skies

 

Watch the world go twirling by

 

And perhaps it's common fears

Or uncommon hearts

That makes us insincere

And torn apart

 

But when will I learn

Love is just my fantasy disguised

 

Chorus

An angel without wings can hardly fly

And love without a dream it will not survive

 

But now I can see

I am lucky just to have a heart

Discovery will knock you on your knees

And lonely tears can only hope to freeze

Yeah, they'll freeze and fall on down

 

And so our sun is sinking low

And your spirit's close behind

But there's something you should know now

That you're on my mind

 

But where are you now

When will you share your winter nights

 

Chorus

 

Hand Me Down- Matchbox Twenty

 

Someday they'll find your small town world

On a big town avenue

Gonna make you like the way they talk

When they're talking to you

Gonna make you break out of your shell

'Cause they tell you to

Gonna make you like the way they lie

Better than the truth

They'll tell you everything

You wanted someone else to say

They're gonna break your heart, yeah

 

(Chorus)

From what I've seen

You're just one more hand me down

'Cause no one's tried to give you

What you need

So lay all your troubles down

I am with you now

 

Somebody oughta take you in

Try to make you love again

Try to make you like the way they feel

When they're under your skin

Never once do you think that they would lie

When they're holding you

Then you wonder why they haven't called

When they said they'd call you

You'll start to wonder

If you're ever gonna make it by

You'll start to think

You were born blind

 

Chorus

 

I'm here for the hard times

The straight to your heart times

When living ain't easy

You can stand up against me

And maybe rely on me

And cry on me, yeah

 

Oh no, no, no

 

Someday they'll open up your world

Shake you down to the drawing board

They'll do their best to change you

They still can't erase you

 

(Chorus)

Lay them down on me

Oh yeah

You’re just one more hand me down

And all those nights

Don't give you what you need

So lay all your troubles down

On me
