Aight let's kick it old skool yo, takin' back inna day wuuuuuurrd....

 

Tim Buckley - Phantasmagoria in 2 groovy title :cool: ...this is an absolutely beautiful song

 

 

If a fiddler played you a song, my love

And if I gave you a wheel

Would you spin for my heart and loneliness

Would you spin for my love

 

If I gave up all of my pride for you

And only loved you for now

Would you hide my fears and never say

"Tomorrow I must go"

 

(chorus) Everywhere there's rain my love

Everywhere there's fear

 

If you tell me a lie I'll cry for you

Tell me of sin and I'll laugh

If you tell me of all the pain you've had

I'll never smile again

 

(chorus)

 

I can plainly see that our parts have changed

Our sands are shifting around

Need I beg to you for one more day

To find our lonely love

Look, it's another cool dead guy...

 

Nick Drake - Northern Sky

 

I never felt magic crazy as this

I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea

I never held emotion in the palm of my hand

Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree

But now you're here

Brighten my northern sky

 

I've been a long time that I'm waiting

Been a long that I'm blown

I've been a long time that I've wandered

Through the people I have known

Oh, if you would and you could

Straighten my new mind's eye

 

Would you love me for my money

Would you love me for my head

Would you love me through the winter

Would you love me til I'm dead

Oh, if you would and you could

Come blow your horn on high

 

I never felt magic crazy as this

I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea

I never held emotion in the palm of my hand

Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree

But now you're here

Brighten my northern sky

Futzy double posts...

he died twice! :P

cool, post music from dead people! Here's a lost classic, lead singer deceased:

 

Blind Melon - No Rain

 

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

I like watchin the puddles gather rain

And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

And speak my point of view but itts not sane, its not sane

 

 

I just want someone to say to me

I'll always be there when you wake

Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

So stay with me and I'll have it made

 

 

And I don't understand why I sleep all day

And I start to complain that theres no rain

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

It rips my life away but its a great escape...escape...escape

 

 

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

You don't like my point of view

Ya think that I'm insane

Its not sane... its not sane

 

 

I just want someone to say to me

I'll always be there when you wake

Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

So stay with me and I'll have it made

Two of 'em are dead...

 

The Beatles - In My Life

 

There are places I remember all my life

Though some have changed

Some forever, not for better

Some have gone and some remain.

 

All these places had their moments

With lovers and friends I still can recall

Some are dead and some are living

In my life I've loved them all

 

But of all these friends and lovers

There is no one compares with you

And these mem'ries lost their meaning

When I think of love as something new

 

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life I'll love you more

 

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life I'll love you more

In my life I'll love you more

luv this ...

 

PHANTOM PLANET - ANTHEM

 

I woke up today a song was swimming in my head

And I hummed it to myself as I got out of bed

And on the way to take a shower it all just dawned on me

That a song like this just might go down in history

I quickly ran back to get my guitar

A pen and some paper

 

'Cause this whole world needs an Anthem

And I'm trying to put the words where they belong

Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem

And I'm hoping everyone will sing along

 

Well I quickly got to work and put the song in gear

 

And my neighbor rang the doorbell said it caught his ear

I was playing it so loud the whole neighborhood could hear

And at night from every household it became quite clear

Everyone was singing along

The same notes the same song

Or maybe I heard it wrong

 

'Cause this whole world needs an Anthem

And I'm trying to put the words where they belong

Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem

And I'm hoping everyone will sing along.

well jerry garcia didnt write it but he's dead..it's beautiful...

 

Box of Rain

 

Grateful Dead

 

Look out of any window

any morning, any evening, any day

Maybe the sun is shining

birds are winging or

rain is falling from a heavy sky -

What do you want me to do,

to do for you to see you through?

this is all a dream we dreamed

one afternoon long ago

Walk out of any doorway

feel your way, feel your way

like the day before

Maybe you'll find direction

around some corner

where it's been waiting to meet you -

What do you want me to do,

to watch for you while you're sleeping?

Well please don't be surprised

when you find me dreaming too

 

Look into any eyes

you find by you, you can see

clear through to another day

I know it's been seen before

through other eyes on other days

while going home --

What do you want me to do,

to do for you to see you through?

It's all a dream we dreamed

one afternoon long ago

 

Walk into splintered sunlight

Inch your way through dead dreams

to another land

Maybe you're tired and broken

Your tongue is twisted

with words half spoken

and thoughts unclear

What do you want me to do

to do for you to see you through

A box of rain will ease the pain

and love will see you through

 

Just a box of rain -

wind and water -

Believe it if you need it,

if you don't just pass it on

Sun and shower -

Wind and rain -

in and out the window

like a moth before a flame

 

It's just a box of rain

I don't know who put it there

Believe it if you need it

or leave it if you dare

But it's just a box of rain

or a ribbon for your hair

Such a long long time to be gone

and a short time to be there

Dude! That just reminded of this song. (Actually, I only know it cos Dave Matthews covered it.)

 

Grateful Dead - Eyes Of The World

 

Right outside this lazy summer home

Ain’t got time to call your soul a critic, no

Right outside this lazy gate winter’s summer home

Wonder where the nut-hatch winter’s wings a mile long just carried the bird away

 

Wake up to find that you are the eyes of the world

But the heart has it’s beaches, it’s homeland and thoughts of it’s own

Wake now to discover that you are the song that the morning brings

But the heart has it’s seasons, it’s evenings and songs of it’s own

 

There comes a redeemer and he too slowly fades away

And there follows his wagon behind that’s loaded with clay

And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay

And night comes so quiet it’s close on the heels of day

 

Wake up to find that you are the eyes of the world

But the heart has it’s beaches, it’s homeland and thoughts of it’s own

Wake now to discover that you are the song that the morning brings

But the heart has it’s seasons, it’s evenings and songs of it’s own

 

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own

And sometimes we visit your country and live in your homes

Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone

Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own

OMG fantastic lyrics, i wasn't familiar w/ this one, i'll have to get it:)

INTERPOL - SAY HELLO TO THE ANGELS

 

I want your silent parts

the parts that the birds love

I know there’s such a place

I had my back turned,

you didn’t realize I’m lonely

You lack the things 

to which I relate

But I see no harm.

Come ‘way, come ‘way, come ‘way

It’s over.

And 1, 2, 3

 

When I’m feeling lazy, it's probably because

I’m saving all my energy to pick up when you

Move into my airspace

Move into my airspace

Something’s coming over me

I see you in the doorway

I cannot control the part of me that swells up when you

Move into my airspace

Move into my airspace

 

But each night,

I bury my love around you

Oh each night,

I bury my love around you

 You're linked to my innocence

 

This is a concept

This is a bracelet

This isn’t no intervention

This is a concept

This is a bracelet

This isn’t no intervention

This isn't you yet

What you thought was such a conquest

Your hair is so pretty and red

Baby, baby, you're really the best

 

Can I get to this way, I think so

Can I get to this way, I think so

Can I get to this way? Can I get to this way?

Can I get to this way? Can I get to this way?

 

We should take a trip now to see new places

I'm sick of this town and I've seen my faces change

We should take a trip to see new places

I'm sick of this town, I've seen my faces change

 (each night I bury my love around you)

 

Say hello, say hello to the angels

Say hello, say hello to the angels

 

 

:/ ..sigh..... :)

David Gray - Tell Me More Lies

 

I'm young but already there's doubt in my eyes

and I never learned how to pray

so make me feel better, tell me more lies

carry me further away

 

from the blue television and the idiots kissin'

makin' excuses for all that fails

break it down now, break it down, break it

the wind's like a dagger, it's tearin' my sails

 

I'm young but already there's doubt in my eyes

and I never learned how to pray

so make me feel better, tell me more lies

carry me further away

 

from my father and mother, in a room, in a tower

breathin' the hours like chloroform

and there's something within me, I wanna express it

but how do you paint it when it's got no form

 

I'm young but already there's doubt in my eyes

and I never learned what to say

so make me feel better, tell me more lies

carry me further away

 

now the women are speakin' of loves that have perished

of memories cherished and the fools men are

how many times, how many

and if only, if only and la la la

 

I'm young but already there's doubt in my eyes

and I never learned how to pray

so make me feel better and tell me more lies

tell me more lies

tell me more lies

tell me more

Untouchable Face - Ani Difranco

 

 

think i'm going for a walk now

 

I feel a little unsteady

 

I don't want nobody to follow me

 

'cept maybe you

 

I could make you happy you know

 

if you weren't already

 

I could do a lot of things

 

and I do

 

tell you the truth I prefer

 

the worst of you

 

too bad you had to have a better half

 

she's not really my type

 

but I think you two are forever

 

and I hate to say it but

 

you're perfect together

 

so fuck you

 

and your untouchable face

 

and fuck you

 

for existing in the first place

 

and who am I

 

that I should be vying for your touch

 

and who am I

 

I bet you can't even tell me that much

 

two-thirty in the morning

 

and my gas tank will be empty soon

 

neon sign on the horizon

 

rubbing elbows with the moon

 

a safe haven of sleepless

 

where the deep fryer's always on

 

radio is counting down

 

the top 20 country songs

 

and out on the porch the fly strip is

 

waving like a flag in the wind

 

y'know, I don't look forward

 

to seeing you again soon

 

you'll look like a photograph of yourself

 

taken from far far away

 

and I won't know what to do

 

and I won't know what to say

 

except fuck you...

 

I see you and i'm so perplexed

 

what was I thinking

 

what will I think of next

 

where can I hide

 

in the back room there's a lamp

 

that hangs over the pool table

 

and when the fan is on it swings

 

gently side to side

 

there's a changing constellation

 

of balls as we are playing

 

I see orion and say nothing

 

the only thing I can think of saying

 

is fuck you

Desaparecidos - What's New for Fall

 

into corduroys or jeans

chinos or capris

sweater vest, no sleeves

oxford underneath

or whatever you think

I mean

whatever's gonna make you want me

 

come on, dress me

I'll be your mannequin

make me attractive

so sexy and thin

I'm gonna stand still

pose me

in any position

and when the people pass by my window

I'll be adored by them

yeah I will

 

I wanna be one of the boys

from the catalogues

(lick your finger)

the ones you flip through

(turn the page)

you point and say he's the one

(slick gloss over images)

you waste no time decidin'

you grab your credit card

call, start orderin'

but what's new for fall

by spring means nothing

 

I wanna undress you

in your walk-in closet

after you try on

one of your new outfits

I know that six months later

you won't be caught dead in it

but for the moment we're there

your shaved legs everywhere

and it looks perfect

oh just perfect

 

don't think she likes me

not with this new haircut

I don't think she likes me

I shouldn't eat so much

 

I don't think she likes me

(I don't think that's it)

not with this new haircut

(I don't think that's it)

I don't think she likes me

(I don't think that's it)

I shouldn't eat so much

(I don't think that's it)

 

I don't think she likes me

not with this new haircut

I don't think she likes me

Ryan Adams - Monday Night

 

I was a bad idea on a Saturday night

Rolled through your fingers and I made you uptight

Little boy blue with my laser on stun

Couldn't dodge the bullets from your infra-red gun

 

All I want is to roll through your fingers, baby

All I need is to make it alright

All I want is to be your connection

Win your affection, be your reflection

 

On a Monday night

On a Monday night

 

I was the last thing left of on an afternoon round

Dressing up for trouble at the lost and found

Tried to live forever every day of the year

Give me something before they kicked us out of here

 

All I want is to roll through your fingers, baby

All I need is to make it alright

All I want is to be your connection

Win your affection, be your reflection

 

On a Monday night

On a Monday night

 

Any other time you want me is cool

Everybody look, I'm the fool

I can let you in, if you can let me like

Being your connection, winning your affection

 

On a Monday night

On a Monday night

 

Oh, man, I wish I could talk to you

Oh, man, I wish I wanted to

 

All I want is to roll through your fingers, baby

All I need is to make it alright

All I want is to be your connection

Win your affection, be your reflection

 

On a Monday night

On a Monday night

Did y'all run out of song lyrics to post? Even the Muse fanatics? :stunned:

 

Well, I feel the need to post some Dave Matthews lyrics seeing as how he's in LA this weekend and I can't go :cry: I still love you Dave! :bigcry:

 

Spoon

 

Spoon in spoon

Stirring my coffee

I thought of you

And turned to the gate

And on my way came up with the answers

I scratched my head

And the answers were gone

 

From hand to hand

Wrist to the elbow

Red blood sand

Could Dad be God

Crosses cross hung out like a wet rag

Forgive you? Why?

You hung me out to dry

 

Maybe I’m crazy

But laughing out loud

Make the pain pass by

And maybe you’re a little crazy

But laughing out loud make it all subside

Holding, I’m holding

I’m still falling

I’m still falling

 

Spoon in spoon

Stirring my coffee

I thought of this

And turned to the gate

And on my way

Crack

Lightning and thunder

I hid my head

And the storm slipped away

 

Well maybe I’m crazy

But laughing out loud

Make it all pass by

And maybe you’re a little crazy

And laughing out loud

Make it all alright

Laughing out loud

 

From time to time

Minutes and hours

Some move ahead while

Some lag behind

It’s like the balloon that

Rise and then vanish

This drop of hope

That falls from his eyes

 

Spoon in spoon

Stirring my coffee

I think of this

And turn to go away

But as I walk

There are voices behind me saying

Sinners sin

Come now and play

Laughing out loud

Come now and play

Here is some more Dave Matthews! This is the saddest song I've heard in awhile.

 

Grace Is Gone - DMB

 

Neon shines through smoky eyes tonight

It's 2 a.m., I'm drunk again

It's heavy on my mind

It's heavy on my mind

 

I could never love again

So much as I love you

Where you end, where I begin

is like a river goin' through

 

Take my eyes, take my heart

I'll need them no more

If never again they'll fall upon

the one I so adore

 

'Scuse me please, one more drink?

Could you make it strong cos I don't need to think

She broke my heart, my grace is gone

One more drink and I'll move on

 

One drink to remember and another to forget

How could I ever dream to find sweet love like you again?

One drink to remember and another to forget

 

'Scuse me please, one more drink?

Could you make it strong cos I don't need to think

She broke my heart, my grace is gone

Another drink and I'll move on

One more drink and I'll be gone

 

You think of things impossible

Then the sun refuse to shine

I woke with you beside me

Your cold hand lay in mine

 

'Scuse me please, one more drink?

Could you make it strong cos I don't need to think

She broke my heart, my grace is gone

One more drink and I'll go

 

'Scuse me please, one more drink?

Could you make it strong cos I don't need to think

She broke my heart, my grace is gone

One more drink and I'll move on

One more drink and I'll be gone

One more drink, my grace is gone

sad? this one makes me shiver and goosebumpy, the gary jules version of, that is

 

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

And their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tommorow, no tommorow

 

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

'Cos I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very

Mad World

 

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

Made to feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me, no one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson

Look right through me, look right through me

 

:cry:

LOVE this one! AWESOME!!

 

Joy Division

Love Will Tear Us Apart

 

 

 

When the routine bites hard

and ambitions are low

And the resentment rides high

but emotions won't grow

And we're changing our ways,

taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart again

 

Why is the bedroom so cold

Turned away on your side?

Is my timing that flawed,

our respect run so dry?

Yet there's still this appeal

That we've kept through our lives

Love, love will tear us apart again

 

Do you cry out in your sleep

All my failings exposed

Get a taste in my mouth

As desperation takes hold

Is it something so good

Just can't function no more?

When love, love will tear us apart again

Sad bastard songs, is it then? Well, this one made a friend say he wanted to hang himself. Dunno why...

 

Bright Eyes - The Calendar Hung Itself

 

does he kiss your eyelids in the morning

when you start to raise your head

and does he sing to you incessantly

from the place between your bed and wall

does he walk around all day at school

with his feet inside your shoes

looking down every few steps

to pretend he walks with you

 

does he know that place below your neck

that is your favorite to be touched

and does he cry through broken sentences

like I love you far too much

 

does he lay awake listening to your breath

worried you smoke too many cigarettes

is he lying now on a bathroom floor

for every speck of tile there's a thousand more I won’t ever see

but most hold inside myself eternally

 

I drug your ghost across the country

and we plotted out my death

in every city memories would whisper

here is where you rest

 

I was determined in chicago

but I dug my teeth into my knees

and I settled for a telephone, I sang into your machine

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine

 

well I kissed a girl with a broken jaw

that her father gave to her

she had eyes bright enough to burn me

they reminded me of yours

 

and in a story told, she was a little girl

in a red-rouge, sun-bruised field

and there were rows of ripe tomatoes

where a secret was concealed

 

but it rose like thunder, clapped under our hands

and it stretched for centuries

to a diary entry’s end, where I wrote, where I write

you make me happy like when skies are grey

you make me happy like when skies are grey and grey and grey

 

well the clock’s heart it hangs

inside its open chest

with its hands stretched

towards the calendar hanging itself

 

but I would not weep for those dying days

for all the ones who have left

there's a few that stayed, they found me here

and they pulled me from the grass, where I was laid

:stunned: :cry:

Conor Oberst's just a little ray of sunshine, isn't he? Here's another...

 

Bright Eyes - The Joy in Forgetting/The Joy in Acceptance

 

there's a cat in the window

of the house of my lover

well she sleeps there alone now

or perhaps with another

 

I try not to think about that

I try not to think at all

I get cocaine from this girl I met

and my brother buys me alcohol

and I stay up all night walking

through these houses I have grown to hate

 

and my parents ask if I'm all right

I say I've just been staying up too late

I need to sleep

I need to do something

to get this awful weight up off my chest

and keep her pretty ghost from chasing me

from chasing me...

 

 

you say there are spaces open and wide

you say there are days longer than nights

and I could be happy if only I'd try

but I don't try, I don't try

 

and you speak of a fever that burns you inside

as you explain to your mother

how you have wanted to die

so she kisses your fingers and says

 

my darling but why

when there is so much more

there is so much more

do you know there are spaces open and wide

believe me there are days longer than nights

and you will be happy the minute you try

so won't you try

won't you try

sheesh *reaches for rope* :stunned: :stunned:

actually that's not funny, but yeah..no more Bright Eyes palease!! hahhaha j/k

When I went to see Bright Eyes, I shouted a request: "Play a sad song!"

 

:blank:

 

Yeah, well, I thought it was funny. Okay, Dave Matthews is also a sad bastard, but he tries to be happy...

 

Pig

 

Oh isn’t it strange

How we move our lives for another day

Like skipping a beat

What if a great wave should wash us all away

Just thinking out loud

Don’t mean to dwell on this dying thing

But looking at blood

It’s alive right now

Deep and sweet within

Pouring through our veins

Intoxicate moving wine to tears

And drinking it deep

Then an evening spent dancing

It’s you and me

Oh ah this love will open our world

From the dark side we can see the glow of something bright

Oh there’s much more than we see here

Don’t burn the day away

Don’t burn the day

Don’t burn the day away

 

Is this not enough

This blessed sip of life

Is it not enough

Staring down at the ground

Oh then complain and pray for more from above

You greedy little pig

Stop just watch your world trickle away

Oh it’s your problem now

It’ll all be dead and gone in a few short years

Oh just love will open our eyes

Just love will put the hope back in our minds

Much more than we could ever know

Oh so don’t burn the day away

Don’t burn the day

Don’t burn the day away

 

Aw come sister

My brother

Shake up your bones shake up your feet

I’m saying open up

And let the rain come pouring in

Wash out this tired notion

Oh that the best is yet to come

But while you’re dancing on the ground

Don’t think of when you’re gone

Love! love!--what more is there?

We need the light of love in here

Don’t beat your head

Dry your eyes

Let the love in there

There’s bad times

But that’s ok

Just look for love in it

And don’t burn the day away

Don’t burn the day

Don’t burn the day away

 

Look

Here are we

On this starry night staring into space

And I must say

I feel as small as dust

Lying down here

What point could there be troubling

Head down wondering what will become of me

Why concern we cannot see

But no reason to abandon it

Time is short, time that’s all right

Maybe I’ll go out in the middle of the night

Take your hands from your eyes, my love

All good things must come to an end sometime

Ah but don’t burn the day away

Don’t burn the day

Don’t burn the day away

 

Aw come sister

My brother

Shake up your bones shake up your feet

I’m saying open up

And let the rain come flooding in

Wash out this tired notion

Oh that the best is yet to come

But oh while you’re dancing on the ground

Don’t think of when you’re gone

Love! love!--what more is there?

Cos we need the light of love in here

Don’t beat your head

Dry your eyes

Let the love in there

There’re bad times

Well that’s ok

Oh just look for love in it

Yeah-eah

Just let the love in there

Oh love

Right now...

OK then you asked for it: I give youTOWNES VAN ZANDT, KING of the sad bastards :sneaky: :cry: ..i'll give ya a few then you'll beg for no mas! ;)

 

Waitin' around to Die

 

Sometimes I don't know where

this dirty road is taking me

sometimes I can't even see the reason why

I guess I keep a-gamblin'

lots of booze and lots of ramblin'

it's easier than just waitin' around to die

 

 

One time, friends, I had a ma

I even had a pa

he beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried

She told him to take care of me

headed down to Tennessee

it's easier than just waitin' around to die

 

 

I came of age and I found a girl

in a Tuscaloosa bar

She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly

I tried to kill the pain, bought some wine

and hopped a train

seemed easier than just waitin' around to die

 

 

A friend said he knew

where some easy money was

we robbed a man, and brother did we fly

the posse caught up with me

and drug me back to Muskogee

it's two long years I've been waitin' around to die

 

 

Now I'm out of prison

I got me a friend at last

he don't drink or steal or cheat or lie

His name's Codeine

he's the nicest thing I've seen

together we're gonna wait around and die

together we're gonna wait around and die
