You'll Be Safe Here - Rivermaya

 

Nobody knows

Just why we're here

Could it be fate

Or random circumstance

At the right place

At the right time

Two roads intertwine

 

And if the universe conspired

To meld our lives

To make us

Fuel and fire

Then know

Where ever you will be

So too shall i be

 

Chorus:

 

Close your eyes

Dry your tears

'coz when nothing seems clear

You'll be safe here

 

From the sheer weight

Of your doubts and fears

Weary heart

You'll be safe here

 

Remember how we laughed

Until we cried

At the most stupid things

Like we were so high

But love was all that we were on

We belong

 

And though the world would

Never understand

This unlikely union

And why it still stands

Someday we will be set free.

Pray and believe

 

Chorus:

 

When the light disappears

And when this world's insincere

You'll be safe here

When nobody hears you scream

I'll scream with you

You'll be safe here

 

Save your eyes

From your tears

When everything's unclear

You'll be safe here

 

From the sheer weight

Of your doubts and fears

Wounded heart

 

When the light disappears

And when this world's insincere

You'll be safe here

 

When nobody hears you scream

I'll scream with you

You'll be safe here

 

In my arms

Through the long cold night

Sleep tight

You'll be safe here

 

When no one understands

I'll believe

You'll be safe,

You'll be safe

You'll be safe here

Put your heart in my hands

You'll be safe here

Starsailer. Silence is easy.

 

Everybody says that they're looking for a shelter

Got a lot to give

But I don't know how to help her

 

I should just let it go

'Til they learn how to grow

And how to liberate

 

Everybody says that she's looking for a shelter

Got a lot to give

But I don't know how I felt her

 

They should just let it go

Till these cities learn to grow

And how to liberate

 

Silence is easy

It just becomes me

You don't even know me

You all lie about me

 

Everybody says that I'm looking for a home now

Looking for a boy or I'm looking for a girl now

But I can still let it go

I can still learn to grow

Into a child again

 

Silence is easy

It just becomes me

You don't even know me

But why lie about me?

 

Silence is easy

It just becomes me

You don't even know me

Why do you hate me?

 

Silence is easy

It just becomes me

You don't even know me

You all lie about me

 

Silence is easy

It just becomes me

You don't even know me

You all lie about me

Let down. Radiohead

 

Transport, motorways and tramlines

Starting and then stopping

Taking off and landing

The emptiest of feelings

Disappointed people clinging on to bottles

And when it comes it's so so disappointing

 

Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

 

Shell smashed, juices flowing

Wings twitch, legs are going

Don't get sentimental

It always ends up drivel

 

One day I'm going to grow wings

A chemical reaction

Hysterical and useless

Hysterical and ...

 

Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

 

Let down again

Let down again

Let down again

 

You know, you know where you are with

You know where you are with

Floor collapsing

Floating, bouncing back

And one day....

I am going to grow wings

A chemical reaction

Hysterical and useless

Hysterical and...

 

Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

Muse. Sing for absolution

 

lips are turning blue

a kiss that can't renew

I only dream of you

my beautiful

 

tiptoe to your moon/room ?

a starlight in the gloom

I only dream of you

and you never knew

 

sing for absolution

I will be singing

falling from your grace

 

there's nowhere left to hide

in no one to confide

the truth runs deep inside

and will never die

 

lips are turning blue

a kiss that can't renew

I only dream of you

my beautiful

 

sing for absolution

I will be singing

falling from your grace

 

sing for absolution

I will be singing

falling from your grace

 

our wrongs remain unrectified

and our souls won't be exhumed

Look at earth from outer space

Everyone must find a place

Give me time and give me space

Give me real, don't give me fake

Give me strength, reserve control

Give me heart and give me soul

Give me time, give us a kiss

Tell me your own politik

 

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

Just open up your eyes

 

Give me one, cause one is best

In confusion, confidence

Give me piece of mind and trust

Don't forget the rest of us

 

Give me strength, reserve control

Give me heart and give me soul

Wounds that heal and cracks that fix

Tell me your own politik

 

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

Just open up your eyes

 

And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh

And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh

The Thrills. Big sur

 

So much for the city

Tell me that you'll dance to the end

Just tell me that you'll dance to the end

Hey hey you're The Monkeys

And people said you monkeyed around

But nobody's listening now

 

Just don't go back to Big Sur

Hanging around

Lettin' your old man down

Just don't go back to Big Sur

Baby, baby please don't go

Oh, baby, baby please don't go

 

So much for the streetlights

They're never gonna guide you home

No they're never gonna guide you home

 

Down at the steamboat show

Yeah, all the kids started spittin'

I guess I didn't live up to the billing

 

Just don't go back to Big Sur

Hanging around

Lettin' your old man down

Just don't go back to Big Sur

Baby, baby please don't go

Oh, baby, baby please don't go

 

Just don't go back to Big Sur

Hanging around

Lettin' your old man down

Just don't go back to Big Sur

Oh, baby, baby please don't go

Oh, baby, baby please don't go

Incubus - Mexico

 

You could see me reaching

So why couldn't you have

Met me halfway

You could see me bleeding

But you could not put

Pressure on the wound

You only think about yourself

You only think about yourself

You'd better bend before I go

On the first train to mexico

 

You could see me breathing

But you still kept

Your hand over my mouth

You could feel me seething

But you just turned

Your nose up in the air

 

You only think about yourself

You only think about yourself

You'd better bend before I go

On the first train to mexico :guitarist:

Keane-On a day like today

 

On a day like today

I looked at you and I

Saw something in the way

You stared into the sky

I saw you were sick

And tired of my wrong turns

If you only knew the way I feel

I'd really love to tell you

 

But I could never seem to say the words I needed to

On a day like today no other words would do

 

I saw you were sick

And tired of my wrong turns

If you only knew the way I feel

I'd really love to tell you

 

But I can never find the words to say and I don't know why

I can't find the words to say and I don't know why

You'll Be Safe Here - Rivermaya

 

Nobody knows

Just why we're here

Could it be fate

Or random circumstance

At the right place

At the right time

Two roads intertwine

 

And if the universe conspired

To meld our lives

To make us

Fuel and fire

Then know

Where ever you will be

So too shall i be

 

Chorus:

 

Close your eyes

Dry your tears

'coz when nothing seems clear

You'll be safe here

 

From the sheer weight

Of your doubts and fears

Weary heart

You'll be safe here

 

Remember how we laughed

Until we cried

At the most stupid things

Like we were so high

But love was all that we were on

We belong

 

And though the world would

Never understand

This unlikely union

And why it still stands

Someday we will be set free.

Pray and believe

 

Chorus:

 

When the light disappears

And when this world's insincere

You'll be safe here

When nobody hears you scream

I'll scream with you

You'll be safe here

 

Save your eyes

From your tears

When everything's unclear

You'll be safe here

 

From the sheer weight

Of your doubts and fears

Wounded heart

 

When the light disappears

And when this world's insincere

You'll be safe here

 

When nobody hears you scream

I'll scream with you

You'll be safe here

 

In my arms

Through the long cold night

Sleep tight

You'll be safe here

 

When no one understands

I'll believe

You'll be safe,

You'll be safe

You'll be safe here

Put your heart in my hands

You'll be safe here

The Frames - People All Get Ready

 

People all get ready

'Cos we're tearing down the stand

Rebuild what's gone unsteady

And see it through with newer hands

And what has gone between us

Is a lot, is a lot

And who'll be there to clean us

If you're not, if you're not

 

People all get ready

'Cos we're breaking down again

Rebuild what's gone unsteady

And see it through with wiser hands

And what has gone between us

Is a lot, is a lot

And who'll be there to ignore us

When you're not, when you're not

 

We have all the time in the world

To get it right, to get it right

We have all the time in the world

To set alight, to set alight

 

People all get ready

'Cos we're breaking down the band

Rewrite what's gone already

And see it through with wiser hands

And what has gone between us

Is a lot, is a lot

And who'll be there to ignore us

When you're not, when you're not

 

And we have all the time in the world

To get it right, to get it right

And we have all the love in the world

To set alight, to set alight

Just look up, just look up

 

We have all the time in the world

To get it right, to get it right

And we have all the love in the world

To set alight, to set alight

Just look up, just look up

 

We have all the time in the world

To get it right, to get it right

And we have all the love in the world

To set alight, to set alight

 

People all get ready

'Cause we're coming to a stop

Not really Kristina! They made it to be the theme song for the series "Spirits" on Channel 2 in 2004. It's really a beautiful song! :)

THE DARKER DAYS OF ME AND HIM-PJ HARVEY

 

Promises, promises

I'm feeling burned

You taught me a lesson

I didn't want to learn

 

Why did I come here?

Please tell me again

Why did you ask me?

Don't say you forget

 

I long for, I long for

I long for my home

I long for a land where

No man was ever known

 

With no neurosis

No psychosis

No psychoanalysis

And no sadness

 

I'll pick up the pieces,

I'll carry on somehow

Tape the broken parts together

And limp this love around

 

Limp this love around

PJ HARVEY-GOOD FORTUNE

 

 

Threw my bad fortune

Off the top of

A tall building

But I'd rather have done it with you

 

Your boy's smile

Five in the morning

Looked into your eyes

And I was really in love

 

In Chinatown

Hungover

You showed me

Just what I could do

 

Talking about

Time travel

And the meaning

And just what it was worth

 

And I feel like some bird of paradise

My bad fortune slipping away

And I feel the innocence of a child

Everybody's got something good to say

 

Things I once thought

Unbelievable

In my life

Have all taken place

 

When we walked through

Little Italy

I saw my reflection

Come right off your face

 

I paint pictures

To remember

You're too beautiful

To put into words

 

Like a gypsy

You dance in circles

All around me

And all over the world

 

* And I feel like....

 

So I take my

Good fortune

And I fantasize

Of our leaving

Like some modern-day

Gypsy landslide

 

Like some modern-day

Bonnie and Clyde

On the run again

 

:)

Interference - Cain And Abel

 

Naked men in the desert are feeding the peasants

And watch out for Cain he comes down like the rain

Abel's not able to eat from the table

Cause his throat got caught when Cain was using the razor

Cain is now a barber heavy into fashion

And that Neolithic style is really all the rage

'Watch out for the Bible' cried the man inside a tower

His mind was choked when the devil swung the rope

 

Why can't you see

It's not what I really wanted

Just you and me and what we believe

 

The feeling was growing like the flowers only faster

When the flies took a trip on the ship to disaster

By the time they came back the politician had the answer

So the problem unsolved soon led to disaster

Somebody blamed someone said we were responsible

I couldn't take it said I broke the handle

They came down really fast said 'Hey it's all over'

But I was only joking and the handle's still broken

 

Why can't you see

It's not what I really wanted

Just you and me and what do we believe

And what do we believe

Beatles-A Day in the Life

 

I read the news today oh boy

About a lucky man who made the grade

And though the news was rather sad

Well I just had to laugh

I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car

He didn’t notice that the lights had changed

A crowd of people stood and stared

They’d seen his face before

Nobody was really sure

If he was from the House of Lords.

I saw a film today oh boy

The English Army had just won the war

A crowd of people turned away

But I just had to look

Having read the book.

I’d love to turn you on

Woke up, got out of bed,

Dragged a comb across my head

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,

And looking up I noticed I was late.

Found my coat and grabbed my hat

Made the bus in seconds flat

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,

And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I heard the news today oh boy

Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

And though the holes were rather small

They had to count them all

Not they know how many holes it takes

To fill the Albert Hall.

I’d love to turn you on.

Linkin Park-My December

(Josh Groban covered this song for his dvd and is phenomenal :blush: )

 

this is my december

this is my time of the year

this is my december

this is all so clear

 

this is my december

this is my snow covered home

this is my december

this is me alone

 

and i

just wish that i didnt feel

like there was something i missed

and i

take back all the things i said

to make you feel like that

and i

just wish that i didnt feel

like there was something i missed

and i

take back all the things i said to you

 

and i give it all away

just to have somewhere to go to

give it all away

to have someone to come home to

 

this is my december

these are my snow covered dreams

this is me pretending

this is all i need

 

and i

just wish that i didnt feel

like there was something i missed

and i

take back all the things i said

to make you feel like that

and i

just wish that i didnt feel

like there was something i missed

and i

take back all the things i said to you

 

and i give it all away

just to have somewhere to go to

give it all away

to have someone to come home to

 

this is my december

this is my time of the year

this is my december

this is all so clear

 

and i give it all away

just to have somewhere to go to

give it all away

to have someone to come home to

What Sarah Said~ Death Cab For Cutie

 

And it came to me then that every plan

Is a tiny prayer to father time

As I stared at my shoes in the ICU

That reeked of piss and 409

And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself

That I’ve already taken too much today

As each descending peak on the LCD

Took you a little farther away from me

Away from me

 

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines

In a place where we only say goodbye

It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend

On a faulty camera in our minds

And I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose

Than to have never lain beside at all

And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground

As the TV entertained itself

 

‘Cause there’s no comfort in the waiting room

Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news

And then the nurse comes ‘round and everyone lift their heads

But I’m thinking of what Sarah said

That love is watching someone die

 

So who’s gonna watch you die?

 

 

 

*weird side note: in May, i had brain surgey (two actually) to try to 'fix' my epilepsy. Sara is my given name, so when i got this CD, i listened to this song first, obviously. it scared the hell out of me. there was too many similarities in it, i actually contemplated returning the CD.

"apple scruffs" by george harrison

 

Now I've watched you sitting there

Seen the passers-by all stare

Like you have no place to go

But there's so much they don't know about Apple Scruffs

 

You've been stood around for years

Seen my smiles and touched my tears

How it's been a long, long time

And how you've been on my mind, my Apple Scruffs

 

Apple Scruffs, Apple Scruffs

How I love you, how I love you

 

In the fog and in the rain

Through the pleasures and the pain

On the step outside you stand

With your flowers in your hand, my Apple Scruffs

 

While the years they come and go

Now, your love must surely show me

That beyond all time and space

We're together face to face, my Apple Scruffs

 

Apple Scruffs, Apple Scruffs

How I love you, how I love you

R.E.M.-Nightswimming

 

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.

The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,

Turned around backwards so the windshield shows.

Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.

Still, it’s so much clearer.

I forgot my shirt at the water’s edge.

The moon is low tonight.

 

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.

I’m not sure all these people understand.

It’s not like years ago,

The fear of getting caught,

Of recklessness and water.

They cannot see me naked.

These things, they go away,

Replaced by everyday.

 

Nightswimming, remembering that night.

September’s coming soon.

I’m pining for the moon.

And what if there were two

Side by side in orbit

Around the fairest sun?

That bright, tight forever drum

Could not describe nightswimming.

 

You, I thought I knew you.

You I cannot judge.

You, I thought you knew me,

this one laughing quietly underneath my breath.

Nightswimming.

 

The photograph reflects,

Every streetlight a reminder.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night.

Nature 1- Muse

 

Conforming on a monday,

Too often and too cold,

And you aren't even listening,

Coz you are just,

Too old to feel an earthquake,

Too cool to even care,

But you aren't even listening,

So why should i?

 

You are, A natural disaster,

I've wanted you too much,

And now i'm gonna lose,

I've wanted you too much,

And now i've gotta choose

 

You're the cause of all this,

And i'm sick of trying to please you, Yeah,

And you're gonna feel my emotions coming, Yeah,

Coz you're the world

 

Like a broken dam you're empty,

And all that's left are the sticks and stones,

That we're built by other people,

And it really shows, And you aren't even listening

Coz you are just, Too old to feel that earthquake

Too cool to even care, But you aren't even listening,

So why should i?

Muse- Hysteria

 

It's bugging me, Grating me,

And twisting me around,

Yeah i'm endlessley caving in, And turning inside out

 

I want it now,

I want it now,

Give me your heart and your soul

And i'm breaking out,

Im breaking out,

All set to lose control

 

Its holding me,

Morphine me,

And forcing me to strive,

To be endlessley cold within,

and dreaming i'm alive

 

Coz i want it now, I want it now,

Give me your heart and your soul,

And i'm breaking out,

I'm breaking out,

All set to lose control

 

 

I want you now, I want you now

I feel my heart implode,

I'm breaking out, Escaping now,

Feeling my faith erode

Stevie Wonder-I Just Called To Say I Love You

 

No New Year's Day to celebrate

No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away

No first of spring

No song to sing

In fact here's just another ordinary day

 

No April rain

No flowers bloom

No wedding Saturday within the month of June

But what it is, is something true

Made up of these three words that I must say to you

 

I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care

I just called to say I love you

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

 

No summer's high

No warm July

No harvest moon to light one tender August night

No autumn breeze

No falling leaves

Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

 

No Libra sun

No Halloween

No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring

But what it is, though old so new

To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

 

I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care, I do

I just called to say I love you

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

 

I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care, I do

I just called to say I love you

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,

of my heart

 

I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care, I do

I just called to say I love you

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,

baby of my heart

Mushaboom

 

Helping the kids out of their coats

But wait the babies haven't been born

Unpacking the bags and setting up

And planting lilacs and buttercups

 

But in the meantime I've got it hard

Second floor living without a yard

It may be years until the day

My dreams will match up with my pay

 

Old dirt road

Knee deep snow

Watching the fire as we grow old

 

I got a man to stick it out

And make a home from a rented house

And we'll collect the moments one by one

I guess that's how the future's done

 

How many acres how much light

Tucked in the woods and out of sight

Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap

On a little road barely on the map

 

Old dirt road

Knee deep snow

Watching the fire as we grow old

Old dirt road

Rambling rose

Watching the fire as we grow well I'm sold

 

I LOVE THIS FREAKING SONG!!!!

BECK-GIRL

 

I saw her, yea I saw her

With a black tongue tied round the roses

A fist pounding on a vending machine

Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger

With a noose she could hang from the sun

And point it out with the dark sunglasses

Walking crooked down the beach

She spits in the sand

Where their bones are bleaching

 

And I know I'm gonna steal her eye

She doesn't even know what's wrong

And you know I'm gonna make it die

Take her where her soul belongs

Know I'm gonna steal her eye

Nothing that I wouldn't try

My cyanide girl

Hey my cyanide girl

My cyanide girl

Hey my cyanide girl

 

I saw her, yea I saw her

With her hands tied back

Her rags are burnin'

Calling out from a landfilled life

Scrawling her name up on the ceiling

Throw a coin in the fountain of dust

White noise, her ears are ringing

Got a ticket for my midnight hanging

Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving

 

And I know I'm gonna steal her eye

She doesn't even know it's wrong

And you know I'm gonna make it die

Take her where her soul belongs

Know I'm gonna steal her eye

Nothing that I wouldn't try

My cyanide girl

Hey my cyanide girl

My cyanide girl

Hey my cyanide girl

 

Hey my cyanide girl

Hey my cyanide girl

My cyanide girl

Hey my cyanide girl

Hey my cyanide girl

Hey my cyanide girl

My cyanide girl

Hey my cyanide girl
