900th post! :D

 

Commander Venus - Jean's TV

 

I tell them every dream I've ever had

I tell them every place I have ever gone

And if there's a fear of empty space

I need to be surrounded by someone

 

Waiting for a chance that things could change

Or spend another night among the dead

Searching for a calming presence

I'm so excitable

 

Nothing happens, I just can't go on

 

Tell me why we have to live like this

Waiting for a certain, distant fall

Comfort is as unlikely as escape

And love is always so conditional

 

I'm tired of the tense and frightened looks

Staring out these tired, anxious eyes

Looking for constant approval

I'm so desirable

 

Nothing matters, I have to move on

I have to move on

I have to move

 

I guess it's pretty self-destructive to ruin on what you create

What if I said it's more productive

Would you make a fool out of me?

Cos I'd make a fool out of you

With your cool guitars and rock-star eyes

Emotional on cue

Or is it hypocrites, like us

That fear what truth can do?

:lol: I'm sure someone is feeling it :P

 

Bright Eyes - Feeling It :D

 

how do you do the things you do, that you do to me

how do you do the things you do

how do you do all the things that you do to me

how do you do the things that you do to me

how do you do the things you do to me

 

well Ian says he's feelin' it

so are all the boys he's with

my head is clear

I'm not convinced, but still I say

 

how do you do the things you do, that you do to me

how do you do the things you do

how do you do all the things that you do to me

how do you do the things that you do to me

how do you do the things

 

if throwing up is feeling it

then Justin's just not interested

some things you see might not exist

but never last that long

IDLEWILD-THESE WOODEN IDEAS

 

It’s a better way to feel

Don’t be real, be post modern

(it’s not that one dimensional, it’s not the only thought)

When you’re not real, you’re post modern

(it’s not that one dimensional, it’s not the only thought)

 

I stopped and waited for progress

I stopped and waited for progress

I stopped and waited

But I’m not willing to accept it all

This wooden idea is how you sell reduction

IDLEWILD-LET ME SLEEP NEXT TO THE MIRROR

 

I woke up first this morning

I’ve never seen the dawn

But I know what the world looked like before

How would I know what you said?

You’re always first to go to bed

You’re intent on sleeping it off

 

Let me sleep, next to the mirror

I know you don’t like mirrors

When they reflect on you

 

For every word that you write

They won’t mean much as barricades (they hold me down)

 

I’m sure that you’ll be fine

Ten more years of this

It will nearly be time

I’m sure that you’ll be fine

It can’t take ten more years

 

You woke up first this morning

You told me that you had a bad dream

Like one never before

What was in it?

My reflection showed that I’m far too critical

 

Let me sleep next to the mirror

Don’t tell me that you don’t like mirrors

Don’t tell me that you don’t like

Looking right through your own reflection

 

For every word that I write

They won’t mean much as barricades (they hold me down)

 

I’m sure that you’ll be fine

Ten more years of this

It will nearly be time

I’m sure that you’ll be fine

But it can’t take ten more years

Idlewild-Actually it's darkness

 

You thought the fire could protect you from it

But why have you been so, why have you been ill informed?

I felt that fire could protect me from everything

You’re just too gullible

 

Actually it’s darkness, I don’t know what I’m scared of

It’s darkness, I must be scared of something

You must be scared of something, quite quite special

 

You shed a shade of shyness

You shed a shade of shyness

You shed a shade of shyness

Why can’t you be more cynical?

 

I knew the winter could protect me from it

One box if film won’t make it all go cold

I thought that winter could hide me from everything

I’m just too gullible, for words

 

Actually it’s darkness, I don’t know what I’m scared of

It’s darkness, I must be scared of something

You must be scared of something, quite quite special

 

You shed a shade of shyness

You shed a shade of shyness

You shed a shade of shyness

Why can’t you be more cynical?

 

I don’t look the same in the photograph

I need to look the way I did in the photograph

By mentioning places it will all become clear

If we speak the same language, you’re a deeper darker reason...

 

You shed a shade of shyness

You shed a shade of shyness

You shed a shade of shyness

Why can’t you be more cynical?

Idleild-The bronze medal

 

It felt cold inside, so we threw the radio onto the fire

It felt good to watch it, burn away to nothing

 

You said you felt weak

I hope its got nothing to do

With the things you told me

 

Nothing but your eyes

Looking down on the third place

You’ve got nothing but determination

To come in third

 

You were always going to be like this

If it’s somewhere that’s as cold as this

You were always meant to be like this

In the cold

 

It felt warm inside, so we threw the television on the fire

It wasn’t frustration, because I had nothing to throw away

 

When there’s nothing but your eyes

Looking down on the third place

When there’s nothing but determination

To come in third

 

You were always going to be like this

When you’re somewhere that’s as cold as this

It was always meant to be like this

In the cold

 

You’ve got nothing but your eyes

Looking down on the third place

You’ve got nothing but determination

To come in third

 

You know that you always meant to be like this

You know that I’m always meant to be like this

You know that you always meant to be like this

You know that you’re always meant to be

HAVEN -SAY SOMETHING

 

I won't say anything cos i don't mean it,

Won't make a promise cos I won't keep it,

Bright Eyes - Act Of Contrition

 

the air was all dust

the night so untamed

the ground opened up

and swallowed all of the rain

and it swallowed you too

into distance unknown

as they sat down for dinner

they waited for you to get home

yeah, they set a place for you

so don't believe everything you read

in that diary of yours

 

and this nervousness

it isn't all your fault

it's just these shaking hands

won't do what I want them to

and I've tried to guess

what it is that you thought about

that act act of contrition

that rolled off out tongues as you left

what are you cryin' for

 

just dust my heart and you will find

there are no fingers printed there

just the untouched place that lies inside

of every lonely boy tonight

 

and all of this open air

has caused me to choke

on your new found hope for me

Dave Matthews - After Her

 

Sun will shine no matter what I do

Sun shines bright now with you

What a wonderful thing for you to do

Moon shine bright reflections in your eyes

A finer place he could not find

 

Winter’s cold spring erases

And the calm away by the storm is chasen

Everything good needs replacin'

Hope all these changes come with you

 

In my life never before have I a lover so adored

Her eyes, her hair, everything she says

My delight can tickle me inside

Touch my heart, touch my mind

 

No matter what’s inside, I’ll give it to her

No need to satisfy my hunger lost in her

And while I spend these hours

Five senses reeling

With biggest steps I’m running

After her I will run

 

Winter’s cold spring erases

And the calm away by the storm is chasen

Everything good needs replacin'

Hope all these changes come with you

 

Sun will shine no matter what I do

Sun shines bright now with you

Touch my heart touch me through

 

No matter what’s inside, I’ll give it to her

No need to satisfy my hunger lost in her

And while I spend these hours

Five senses reeling

With biggest steps I’m running

After her I will run

 

After her

After her

After her

After her

After her

The Ride- VH

 

I hope you know why

You're taking me for a ride

 

I'm taking it on the chin

Protecting the parts where the anger's been

When it's deep inside

 

And each day my hope subsides

It's killed by your reasons why

Chalking it up to fate

What's to become of the injured hate

When it won't die

 

Chorus

And though I'd like to sail away

Your eyes just drag me down

Into another stormy day

So I've got to get away

 

Someday I'll realize

Why you wouldn't be my bride

I wish you could take the hit

'Cause your luck becomes what you make of it

But you have to try

 

And though I'd like to sail away

Your eyes just drag me down

Into another lonely day

Won't you save me

 

I'm taking it on the chin

Protecting the parts where the anger's been

When it's deep inside

 

Chorus

 

Mamma won't you say you want to stay?

Mamma won't you say you want to stay, now, now, now

Mamma won't you say you want to stay?

Mamma won't you say you want to stay, now, now, now

Mamma won't you say you want to stay?

Mamma won't you say you want to stay, now, now, now

Mamma won't you say you want to stay?

Mamma won't you say you want to stay, now, now, now

This is my 1000th post. :o :D *does Brodie shuffle*

 

What else would I do to honour the occasion but post more Bright Eyes lyrics? :rolleyes: :P

 

Bright Eyes - The Trees Get Wheeled Away

 

increments spike their blood

wear masks of mud

cucumbers cut to fit their eyes

an' so no one would know

how tired they've grown

of talkin' and telling their lies

 

while your tvs change stations

scroll messages victims

an' christians both drinkin' blood

and they pray for the destruction of all hatred

more often just those with hate for us

 

cos it hurts when you discover

one's worse and one's better

to suffer or cause others to

 

and you can live by your conscience

now guilt is a concept

you're no longer subscribin' to

 

there's a virgin in my bed

an' she's takin' off her dress

an' I'm not sure what I am gonna do

 

there's a song stuck in my head

an' I can' help singin' it

oh how I hope my singin' pleases you

cos I am not who I've become

but what you've made me into

 

aw we got no health insurance

no cellular service

no disease they can cure

but we need more money to burn

and so each person must learn

the dollar amount they are worth

 

an' your pills make me dizzy

forgetting my body

I watch as it walks away

an' I jus' keep drinkin' the poison

an' smokin' the cartons

a pack an' a half a day

 

an' so when time comes to claim me

my friends an' my family

will gather around my grave

an' they'll believe that they knew me

an' love me an' miss me

and all call me by my name

 

so imagine what you want

and then hold onto that thought

cos tha's as close as it will ever come

 

an' believe you're where you are

an' keep actin' out the part

but at the end of the day

the trees all get wheeled away

an' you'll be standin' alone

in a blank, blank space

 

so believe you're who you are

an' stay in character

but at the end of the play

the audience walks away

an' you'll be shiverin' cold

on a well-lit stage

:D :D

Ahh good choice of lyrics ;)

:D :smug:

 

And now to celebrate/compensate I will... go... to... *yawns cavernously* bed... :snore:

:D

G'night!

Ryan Adams - Firecracker

 

Black birds slow and softly breaks a glass of wine

Broken bluesy whisper sing to me tonight

Well, everybody wants to go on forever

I just wanna burn up hard and bright

I just wanna be your firecracker

And maybe be your baby tonight

Maybe be your baby tonight

 

Lady, your kicks of silence cough into your room

Kiss me slow and softly make me dream of you

Well, everybody wants to go on forever

I just wanna burn up hard and bright

I just wanna be your firecracker

And maybe be your baby tonight

Maybe be your baby tonight

 

So when does the plane go down

Cos I'm gonna ride it til it hits the ground

Then go out with a fight

Cos I just wanna be your baby tonight

BRMC - Love Burns

Never thought I'd see her go away

She learned I loved her today

Never thought I'd see her cry

And I learned how to love her today

Never thought I'd rather die

Than try to keep her by my side

 

Now she's gone love burns inside me

Now she's gone love burns inside me

Now she's gone love burns inside me

 

Nothing else can hurt us now

No loss, our love's been hung on a cross

Nothing seems to make a sound

And now it's all so clear somehow

Nothing really matters now

Now we're gone and on our way

 

Now she's gone love burns inside me

Now she's gone love burns inside me

Now she's gone love burns inside me

 

She cuts my skin and bruise my lips

She's everything to me

She tears my clothes and burns my eyes

She's all I want to see

She brings the cold and scars my soul

She's heaven sent to me

 

Now she's gone love burns inside me

Now she's gone love burns inside me

Now she's gone love burns inside me

 

Never thought I'd leave you like the way I do, yeah

Kiss my love and I wish you're gone

You can kiss my love and I wish you're gone

Never thought I'd leave you like the way that I do

Kiss my love and I wish you're gone

You can kiss my love and I wish you're gone

Now she's gone love burns inside me

Now she's gone love burns inside me

Now she's gone love burns inside me

QOTSA GO W/ THE FLOW :/

 

She said "I'll throw myself away,

They're just photos after all"

I can't make you hang around.

I can't wash you off my skin.

Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out

You won't remember anyway

I can go with the flow

But don't say it doesn't matter anymore

I can go with the flow

Do you believe it in your head?

It's so safe to play along

Little soldiers in a row

Falling in and out of love

With something sweet to throw away.

But I want something good to die for

To make it beautiful to live.

I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.

Do you believe it in your head?

I can go with the flow

But don't say it doesn't matter anymore

I can go with the flow

Do you believe it in your head?

David Gray - A Century Ends

 

cast your eyes into the distance

try to focus on it all

find a spirit of resistance

instead of pride before the fall

forge some opposition

from disparate strands

it ain't the prettiest position

as a century ends

 

unstable situation

faces made of wax

streams of melting glass

sheets of butchered facts

the roar of the machine

hooded hearts and jewelled hands

and anger spilling out like gasoline

as a century ends

 

everything I seen

everything that I heard

it ain't even the tip of the iceberg

fire down memory lane

so pass me my rose tinted glasses again

 

through a fog of contradiction

out to the lake of tears

see society admiring its own reflection

chase a light that shines and disappears

careful what you say cos reality offends

just sit back and let your soul decay

as a century ends

 

and it's easy to get weary

as you fight to get it done

'gainst a popular theory

that it's over 'fore it's even begun

strain the limit of compassion

tend a wound that never mends

and honesty still out of fashion

as a century ends

Travis - Happy Hang Around

 

They were following me,

They were following everyone.

And there were visions of me,

holding hands, walking into the sun.

Now people get down,

People get down,

People get hurt.

And when you did it to me,

I was already in the ground.

 

And I'll never get into your heart,

No I don't even want to start.

No I'll never get into your heart,

I'm just happy to hang around.

Happy to hang around.

Happy to hang around.

 

Take a picture of me,

And show it to everyone.

And no more pictures of you,

No more love,

No more setting suns.

And people get down,

People get down,

People get hurt.

And when you did it to me,

I was already in the dirt.

 

And I'll never get into your heart,

No I don't even want to start.

I'll never get into your heart,

I'm just happy to hang around.

Happy to hang around.

Happy to hang around.

 

And I'll never get into your heart,

No I don't even want to start.

I'll never get into your heart,

I'm just happy to hang around.

Happy to hang around.

Happy to hang around.

:(

Bright Eyes - The City Has Sex

 

the city has sex with itself I suppose

as the concrete collides, the scenery grows

and the lonely, once bandaged, lay fully exposed

they undress their wounds for each other

 

and there’s a boy in a basement with a four-track machine

he’s been strumming and screaming all night down there

the tape hiss will cover the words that he sings

they say it’s better to bury your sadness

in a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring

to awake from its sleep and burst into green

 

well I cried and you’d think I would better for it

but the sadness just sleeps and it stays in my spine for the rest of my life

and I learned and you’d think I’d be something more now

but it just goes to show, it is not what you know

it’s what you were thinking at the time

 

this feeling’s familiar, I’ve been here before

in a kitchen this quiet I’ve waited for a sign

or just something that might reassure me of anything close to meaning

or motion with a reason to move

I needed something I want to be close to

 

and I scream

but I still don’t know why I do it

because the sound never stays it just swells and decays

so what is the point?

why try to fight what is now so certain?

the truth is all that I am is a passing event that will be forgotten :(

Taking Back Sunday- You're so last summer

 

She said "Don't.

Don't let it go to your head.

Boys like you are a dime a dozen.

Boys like you are a dime a dozen"

She said

"You're a touch overrated.

You're a lush and I hate it."

But these grass stains on my knees

they won't mean a thing

 

And all I

Need to know

Is that I'm something you'll be missing

Maybe I should hate you for this

Never really did ever quite get that far

Maybe I should hate you for this

Never really did ever quite get that...

 

I'd never lie to you

Unless I had to

I'll do what I got to

Unless I had to

I'll do what I got to, the truth

is you could slit my throat

And with my one last gasping breath

I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt

 

And all I

Need to know

Is that I'm somethin you'll be missing

Maybe I should hate you for this

Never really did ever quite get that far

Maybe I should hate you for this

Never really did ever quite get that...

 

'Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions

This'll be last chance you get to drop my name

'Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions

This'll be last chance you get to drop my name

 

If I'm just bad news, you're a liar

If I'm just bad news, you're a liar

If I'm just bad news, you're a liar

If I'm just bad news, you're a liar

If I'm just bad news, you're a liar

If I'm just bad news, you're a liar

If I'm just bad news, you're a liar

If I'm just bad news, you're a liar

And another

Taking Back Sunday- Ghost man on third

Jynx me something crazy

Thinking if it's three

then I'm as smooth as the skin

rolls across the small of your back

It's too bad it's not my style

If you need me

I'm out and on the parkway,

patient and waiting for headlights,

dressed in a fashion that's fitting to the

inconsistencys of my moods

 

It's times like these where silence means everything

And no one is to know about this

It's times like these, where silence means everything

And no one is to know about this

 

It's a campaign of distraction

and revisionist history, oh

 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice

(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)

It's a shame I doubt they even care

(it's a shame I doubt they even care)

No one has to know about this

 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice

(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)

It's a shame I doubt they even care

(it's a shame I doubt they even care)

Don't let me down

 

But whatever I have gettin myself into

maybe has been slicing inches from my waist

It's my fist vs. the bottle

(and thank god you weren't there...)

And that's how bad could this hurt

or against I won't feel a thing

(and thank god you weren't there...)

I tell you all about it

It's just not working out

(...to watch me hit the bottom)

not working out

 

It's a campaign of distraction

and revisionist history, oh

 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice

(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)

It's a shame I doubt they even care

(it's a shame I doubt they even care)

No one has to know about this

 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice

(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)

It's a shame I doubt they even care

(it's a shame I doubt they even care)

No one is to know about this

Don't let me down

 

This is why we were taught so much better than this

This is why we were taught so much better than this

 

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

special song for 2000th posts

 

Fragments- VH

 

Hold my thoughts I'm at an impasse

Past the place I stopped before

The sweeper's sweeping fragments

Of my head out the door

 

And the ice it burns upon my forehead

The calmness starts to scream

Must I always hold the upright

When my soul longs to dream

 

Chorus

Is it too much to find an answer

Is it too much to hold you close

Is it too much to find a reason

Is it too much to free my soul

From self control

 

I can't get it any better

I always end up killing time

Time for love and time for living

Time to find what's really mine

 

Chorus Twice

 

And I know you're always waiting for me

You take me far away

And I know you're holding me

And it's better now . . .

And it's better now . . .

And it's better now . . .

I could always relate to this song....

Reminds me of my friendship with one of my best friends..which happens to be a guy! Eek! :stunned:

Taking Back Sunday- There's No I in Team

Well I can't regret it,

can't you just forget it?

I started something I couldn't finish

And if we go down,

we go down together

best friends means,

well best friends means

 

And I've got a twenty-dollar bill

that says you're up late night starting

fist fights versus fences in your backyard

Wearing your black eye like a badge of honor

Soaking in sympathy

from friends who never loved you

nearly half as much as me

 

Broken down in bars and bathrooms

All I did was what I had to

Don't believe me when I tell you

it's just what anyone would do

Take the time to talk about it

Think a lot and live without it

Don't believe me when I tell you

it's something unforgivable...

 

Well I can't regret it,

can't you just forget it?

I started something I couldn't finish

If we go down,

we go down together

best friends means,

best friends means

 

You never knew

well i never told you...

Everything I know about breaking hearts

I learned from you, it's true

I've never done it with the style and grace you have

But I've made long term plans

based on these mistakes

 

Broken down in bars and bathrooms

All I did was what I had to

Don't believe me when I tell you

it's just what anyone would do

Take the time to talk about it

Think a lot and live without it

Don't believe me when I tell you

it's something unforgivable

 

Is this what you call tact?

I swear you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

so let's end this call,

and end this conversation

there's nothing worse...

(that's right he said, that's right he said it)

I swear, you have no idea

The jealousy that became me thinking

(that's right he said)

that you always had it way too easy

 

Broken down in bars and bathrooms

All I did was what I had to

Don't believe me when I tell you

it's just what anyone would do

Take the time to talk about it

Think a lot and live without it

Don't believe me when I tell you

it's something unforgivable

 

Best friends means Ill pull the trigger

Best friends means you get what you deserve

Best friends means Ill pull the trigger

Best friends means you get what you deserve

Best friends means Ill pull the trigger

Best friends means you get what you deserve

Best friends means Ill pull the trigger

Best friends means you get what you deserve

Best friends means Ill pull the trigger

Best friends means you get what you deserve
