the glass waltz - vertical horizon

 

She knows the fear in the eyes of a child

He wants to soar through the air

She’s only now beginning to rise

Part of them's already there

 

So she tried to capture the wind in a box

To liven up her rainy day

And he’s so afraid of what’s waiting up top

It’s probably better that way

 

Cause he wasn’t that smart and she wasn’t so strong

But they went through the motions as if they belonged

Playing their parts in this travelling show

And they haven’t got too far to go

 

So he finds the enemy waiting inside

It’s hungry like never before

And she brushez off the temptation to lie

It’s easier just to ignore

 

And then waltzing on glass is no way to survive

When you trip on the truth, you fall back on the lies

Happier times seem to balance those

And they haven’t got too far to go

 

No more tears today

No more time to waste

'cause when I come to the end of the road

I'm know it’s my time to shine

 

So he always wanted to be someone else

She sometimes wanted to die

They kept believing in spite of themselves

Just time to open their eyes

 

Cause he wasn’t that smart and she wasn’t so strong

But they went through the motions as if they belonged

Playing their parts in this travelling show

And they haven’t got too far to go

 

And then waltzing on glass is no way to survive

When you trip on the truth, you fall back on the lies

Happier times seem to balance those

And they haven’t got too far to go

 

too far to go

it's too far

to go

Fog

 

There's a little child

Running round this house

And he never leaves

He will never leave

And the fog comes up from the sewers

And glows in the dark

 

Baby alligators in the sewers grow up fast

Grow up fast

Anything you want it can be done

How did you go bad?

Did you go bad?

Did you go bad?

Somethings will never wash away

Did you go bad?

Did you go bad?

Radiohead - Airbag

 

In the next world war in a jack-knifed juggernaut

I am born again

In the neon sign scrolling up and down

I am born again

 

In an interstellar burst

I am back to save the universe!

 

In the deep deep sleep of the innocent

I am born again

In a fast German car I'm amazed that I survived

An airbag saved my life

 

In an interstellar burst

I am back to save the universe!

No Such Thing - John Mayer

 

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me

Condescendingly

Take a seat

Take your life

Plot it out in black and white

Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings

And the drama queens

I'd like to think the best of me

Is still hiding

Up my sleeve

 

 

They love to tell you

Stay inside the lines

But something's better

On the other side

 

 

I wanna run through the halls of my high school

I wanna scream at the

Top of my lungs

I just found out there's no such thing as the real world

Just a lie you've got to rise above

 

 

So the good boys and girls take the so called right track

Faded white hats

Grabbing credits

Maybe transfers

They read all the books but they can't find the answers

And all of our parents

They're getting older

I wonder if they've wished for anything better

While in their memories

Tiny tragedies

 

 

They love to tell you

Stay inside the lines

But something's better

On the other side

 

 

I wanna run through the halls of my high school

I wanna scream at the

Top of my lungs

I just found out there's no such thing as the real world

Just a lie you got to rise above

 

 

I am invincible(3x)

As long as I'm alive

 

 

I wanna run through the halls of my high school

I wanna scream at the

Top of my lungs

I just found out there's no such thing as the real world

Just a lie you've got to rise above

 

 

I just can't wait for my 10 year reunion

I'm gonna bust down the double doors

And when I stand on these tables before you

You will know what all this time was for

Oasis - Let's All Make Believe

 

Is anyone here prepared to say

Just what they mean? Or is it to late

For anyone here to try to do

Just what it takes to get through to you?

 

So let's all make believe

That we're still friends and we like each other

Let's all make believe

In the end we're gonna need each other

 

Strangle my hope and make me pray

To a God I've never seen but who I've betrayed

To the people who live the afterlife

In a place I'll never be till I'm crucified

 

So let's all make believe

We're still friends and we like each other

Let's all make believe

In the end we'll need each other

 

Let's all make believe

That all mankind's gonna feed our brother

Let's all make believe

That in the end we won't grow old

can't be all wrong - vertical horizon

 

It is fire it is lightning

It is real it is frightening

Who will come who will go

Who'll be the last to know

Who is there when you're fighting

 

And I am here, now

Oh and I don't know if the feeling is gone

I can't say this is all that I want

When the tears have all dried

I still hold you inside and I

Know that this can't be all wrong

 

Threw the pain through the window

To the place where the wind blows

All this love all this time

Always the last in line

Never far from the shadows

 

And I am here, now

Oh and I don't know if the feeling is gone

I can't say this is all that I want

When the tears have all dried

I still hold you inside and I

Know that this can't be all wrong

 

It is here it is in you

We are all that we've been through

All these nights all these days

Always a better way

So much more than we could do

 

And I am here, now

Oh and I don't know if the feeling is gone

I can't say this is all that I want

When the tears have all dried

I still hold you inside and I

Know that this can't be all wrong

 

Hey, and I don't know if the feeling is gone

I can't say this is all that I want

When the tears have all dried

I still hold you inside and I

Know that this can't be all wrong

The Rapture - Heaven

 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

I'm floating in a constant heaven

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

I'm floating in a constant heaven

 

I can't believe that you came here today

And you took me away

And you took me away

I can't believe that you came here today

And you took me away

And you took me away

 

And if you focus very hard

The train will come for you at last

And if you're stuck out in the yard

 

I can't believe that you came here today

And you took me away

And you took me away

Too much condition and not enough game

It's driving me sane

It's driving me sane

 

And if you focus very hard

The train will come for you at last

And if you're stuck out in the yard

 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

I'm floating in a constant heaven

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

I'm floating in a constant heaven

Manic Street Preachers ~ So Why So Sad

 

Things get clear when I feel free

When whatever next comes easily

When gentle hands give life to me

When your eyes fill with tiny tears

 

When I'm this still you are my life

(When I'm this still you are my life)

So at ease in the midnight sky

(So at ease in the midnight sky)

But my insides will look like war

(But my insides will look like war)

Paralysed except through my thought

 

So why so sad

You live and you love

So why so sad

Dependent on above

Searchin' for the dead sea scrolls

So why, so why so sad

 

My smile as real as a hyena's

(My smile as real as a hyena's)

Burns an expressway to my skull

(Burns an expressway to my skull)

But I'll stick myself together again

Spirit so low I no longer pretend

 

So why so sad

You live and you love

So why so sad

Dependent on above

Searchin' for the dead sea scrolls

So why, so why so sad

 

So why so sad

You live and you love

So why so sad

Dependent on above

Searchin' for the dead sea scrolls

So why, so why so sad

So why, so why so sad

So why, so why so sad

So why, so why so sad

fragments - vertical horizon

 

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 . . .

Vertical Horizon ~ Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)

 

So you sailed away

Into a grey sky morning

Now I'm here to stay

Love can be so boring

 

Nothing's quite the same now

I just say your name now

 

[Chorus]

But it's not so bad

You're only the best I ever had

You don't want me back

You're just the best I ever had

 

So you stole my world

Now I'm just a phony

Remembering the girl

Leaves me down and lonely

 

Send it in a letter

Make yourself feel better

 

[Chorus]

But it's not so bad

You're only the best I ever had

You don't need me back

You're just the best I ever had

 

And it may take some time to

Patch me up inside

But I can't take it so I

Run away and hide

And I may find in time that

You were always right

You're always right

 

So you sailed away

Into a grey sky morning

Now I'm here to stay

Love can be so boring

 

What was it you wanted

Could it be I'm haunted

 

[Chorus]

But it's not so bad

You're only the best I ever had

I don't want you back

You're just the best I ever had

The best I ever had

The best I ever

Saddest song... Ever

 

Especially this part: (which I had in my sig a few days ago)

 

And it may take some time to

Patch me up inside

But I can't take it so I

Run away and hide

 

:(

It is so beautiful.

It is one of my all time favourites :)

It's one of my top favorites by them.. Because as I'm sure you can tell by other lyrics I've posted in this thread, that Im'a big fan. :rolleyes: :P

Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over

 

Standing at the door I see the rain

Fall upon the funeral mourners

Parading in a wake of sad relations

As their shoes fill up with water

 

Maybe I'm too young

To keep good love from going wrong

But tonight, you're on my mind

So you never know

 

Broken down and hungry for your love

But no way to feed it

Where are you tonight?

Child you know how much I need it

 

Too young to hold on

Too old to just break free and run

 

Sometimes a man gets carried away

When he should be having his fun

Much too blind to see the damage he's done

Sometimes a man must await to find

That really he has no-one

 

So I'll wait for you and I'll burn

Will I ever see your sweet return?

Will I ever learn?

Oh, lover you should've come over

But it's not too late

 

Lonely is the room the bed is made

The open window lets the rain in

Burning in the corner is the only one

Who dreams he had you with him

 

My body turns and yearns

For a sleep that won't ever come

It's never over

My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder

It's never over

All my riches for her smiles

When I sleep so soft against her

It's never over

All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter

It's never over

She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

 

Oh maybe I'm too young

To keep good love from going wrong

Oh lover, you should've come over

 

Yes, I feel too young to hold on

I'm much too old to break free and run

Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I've done

Sweet lover, you should've come over

Oh, love I'm waiting for you

Lover, you should've come over

Cos it's not too late

Sleep Better - Pete Yorn

 

Calls him every day,

He took a kind of vacation,

Was heading for something,

Won’t leave her alone,

Twice in every way,

They lead a life you could forget now,

It wouldn’t be the last time,

It better be the first time.

 

So she won’t sleep better alone,

And he won’t sleep better alone,

No they won’t feel better alone.

 

They took the time to reflect,

Even as the competition,

Is breathing every day.

 

On top of a jealous home,

She feels she could connect it,

He was an opinionated fool,

He couldn’t just pretend that

She was there in the next room.

 

So they won’t sleep better alone,

And she won’t sleep better alone,

And he won’t feel better alone.

 

So she won’t sleep better alone,

And he won’t sleep better alone,

No they won’t feel better alone...

 

Every tie is gonna break,

So they said you were a fake,

 

Don’t try, don’t try,

Don’t try you’ll never win,

And you can never be him.

 

So you won’t sleep better alone,

No they won’t sleep better alone,

And they won’t feel better alone.

 

So she won’t sleep better alone,

And they won’t sleep better alone,

No they won’t feel better alone...

 

Calls him every day

Radiohead - Bulletproof... I Wish I Was

 

Limb by limb and tooth by tooth

Stirring up inside of me

Every day, every hour

I wish that I was bulletproof

 

Wax me, mould me

Heat the pins and stab them in

You have turned me into this

I just wish that it was bulletproof

 

So pay me money and take a shot

Lead fill the hole in me

I could burst a million bubbles

All surrogate and bulletproof

goodbye again - vertical horizon

 

I'm on the outside, looking in

What do I see?

So much of this left to begin

Where would I be?

I'm on the outside, looking in

Cover me through this night

 

Guess I don't know what's, left to say

But hear me out

All of the dreams of, yesterday

Keep breaking me down

What's on the outside, can you say

Or am I getting carried away

 

It's in your mind

It's in your eyes

So it's goodbye again

It's way past time

For one last try

So it's goodbye again

Goodbye... again

 

I'm getting on, what's the use

You know how I get

I can't decide which is the truth

At least not yet

I got the feeling, it's you

What can be said, alone in this room

No...

 

It's in your mind

It's in your eyes

So it's goodbye again

It's way past time

For one last try

 

Who wants you now?

Maybe somebody else

I'll wait around

Maybe you'll forget you were ever here

Maybe forget you were ever, never here

 

I'm on the outside, looking down

What do I see?

So much of this cold, in the ground

Where would i be?

On the outside, looking down

Cover me before you go

 

It's in your mind

It's in your eyes

So it's goodbye again

It's way past time

For one last try

So it's goodbye again

 

Your falling out,

I'm falling in

So it's goodbye again

It's way past time

For one last try

So it's goodbye... again

So it's goodbye again

FIONA APPLE / I KNOW

So be it, I'm your crowbar

If that's what I am so far

Until you get out of this mess

And I will pretend

That I don't know of your sins

Until you are ready to confess

But all the time, all the time

I'll know, I'll know

And you can use my skin

To bury secrets in

And I will settle you down

And at my own suggestion,

I will ask no questions

While I do my thing in the background

But all the time, all the time

I'll know, I'll know

Baby-I can't help you out, while she's still around

So for the time being, I'm being patient

And amidst this bitterness

If you'll just consider this-even if it don't make sense

All the time-give it time

And when the crowd becomes your burden

And you've early closed your curtains,

I'll wait by the backstage door

While you try to find the lines to speak your mind

And pry it open, hoping for an encore

And if it gets too late, for me to wait

For you to find you love me, and tell me so

It's ok, don't need to say it.

MUSE / UNINTENDED

You could be my unintended,

Choice to live my life extended,

You could be the one I'll always love.

 

You could be the one who listens,

To my deepest inquisitions,

You could be the one I'll always love.

 

I'll be there as soon as I can,

But I'm busy mending broken,

Pieces of the life I had before.

 

First there was the one who challenged,

All my dreams and all my balance,

She could never be as good as you.

 

You could be my unintended,

Choice to live my life extended,

You should be the one I'll always love.

 

I'll be there as soon as I can,

But I'm busy mending broken,

Pieces of the life I had before.

 

I'll be there as soon as I can,

But I'm busy mending broken,

Pieces of the life I had before.

Radiohead - Karma Police

 

Karma police

Arrest this man

He talks in math

He buzzes like a fridge

He's like a detuned radio

 

Karma police

Arrest this girl

Her Hitler hairdo

Is making me feel ill

And we have crashed her party

 

This is what you get

When you mess with us

 

Karma police

I've given all I can

It's not enough

I've given all I can

But we're still on the payroll

 

This is what you get

When you mess with us

 

Phew! For a minute there I lost myself

it's only me - vertical horizon

 

I am the blood

I am the heartbeat

I am the needle drawing me from me

Separate vials for the vile I see

 

I am the mind

And I know what I know

Fragments of pictures form my core

All strewn about on this prison floor

 

Chorus:

Watched on by secret eyes

Hidden internal lies

It's only me

I get afraid of the dark sometimes

I can't see

When the light shines I find it's only me

 

I am the flood

And I am the cleansing

Reckless and pure still unsure

I got aimless precision

 

I am the savior

And I am my brother

Holding me in locking me out

Different room for a different doubt

 

Chorus

 

I am the blood

And I am the heartbeat

I am the needle drawing me from me

Seperate vials for the vile I see

 

Chorus

MUSE / FEELING GOOD

Birds flying high

You know how I feel

Sun in the sky

You know how I feel

Reeds driftin' on by

You know how I feel

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good

 

Fish in the sea

You know how I feel

River running free

You know how I feel

Blossom in the tree

You know how I feel

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good

 

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know

Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean

Sleep in peace when the day is done

And this old world is a new world

And a bold world

For me

 

Stars when you shine

You know how I feel

Scent of the pine

You know how I feel

Yeah freedom is mine

And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

 

And I'm feeling good

Radiohead - High And Dry

 

Two jumps in a week

I bet you thinks that's pretty clever don't you boy?

Flying along on your motorcycle

Watching all the ground beneath you drop

 

You'd kill yourself for recognition

Kill yourself to never ever stop

You broke another mirror

You're turning into something you are not

 

Don't leave me high

Don't leave me dry

 

Drying up in conversation

You will be the one who cannot talk

All your insides fall to pieces

You just sit there wishing you could still make love

 

They're the ones who'll hate you

When you think you got the world all sussed out

They're the ones who'll spit at you

You will be the one screaming out

 

Don't leave me high

Don't leave me dry

 

It's the best thing that you ever had

The best thing that you ever ever had

It's the best thing that you ever had

The best you ever had has gone away

 

Don't leave me high

Don't leave me dry

Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin

 

It was an April morning when they told us we should go

As I turn to you, you smiled at me

How could we say no?

 

With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had

Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again

 

Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know

Below the streets that steam and hiss,

The devil's in his hole

 

Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days

Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen.

 

Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown

The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground

 

Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din

Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd

 

To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds

To guide us from the curving path, That churns up into stone

 

If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king

So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet.

 

Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow

As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow

 

Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain

Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again

 

Wandering and wandering, What place to rest the search

The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth

 

The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth

From the earth...

 

I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way (X2)

 

Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.
