Look Out For My Love

 

   

(Written: t.b.d.)

 

Notes:

 

There's a lot to learn

For wastin' time

There's a heart that burns

There's an open mind.

 

Look out for my love,

look out for my love

Look out for my love,

look out for my love

You own it

You own it now

You own it.

 

There's a weight on you

But you can't feel it

Livin' like I do

It's hard for you to see it.

 

Was I hurt too bad

Can I show you daylight

How could I be sad

When I know that you might.

 

Look out for my love,

look out for my love

Look out for my love,

look out for my love.

 

Look out for my love

It's in your neighborhood

I know things are gonna change

But I can't say bad or good.

 

Silver wings of mornin'

Shinin' in the gray day

While the ice is formin'

On a lonely runway.

 

Hydraulic wipers pumpin'

'Til the window glistens

Somethin' sayin' somethin'

No one seems to listen.

 

Men with walkie-talkies

Men with flashlights wavin'

Up upon the tower

Time reads daylight savings.

 

I'm home again to you babe

You know it makes me wonder

Sittin' in the quiet slipstream

In the thunder.

 

Look out for my love,

look out for my love

Look out for my love,

look out for my love.

Dont Let it Bring You Down

 

   

(Written: t.b.d.)

 

Notes:

 

Old man lying

by the side of the road

With the lorries rolling by,

Blue moon sinking

from the weight of the load

And the building scrape the sky,

Cold wind ripping

down the allay at dawn

And the morning paper flies,

Dead man lying

by the side of the road

With the daylight in his eyes.

 

Don't let it bring you down

It's only castles burning,

Find someone who's turning

And you will come around.

 

Blind man running

through the light

of the night

With an answer in his hand,

Come on down

to the river of sight

And you can really understand,

Red lights flashing

through the window

in the rain,

Can you hear the sirens moan?

White cane lying

in a gutter in the lane,

If you're walking home alone.

 

Don't let it bring you down

It's only castles burning,

Just find someone who's turning

And you will come around.

 

Don't let it bring you down

It's only castles burning,

Just find someone who's turning

And you will come around.

On the Beach

 

The world is turnin',

I hope it don't turn away,

The world is turnin',

I hope it don't turn away.

All my pictures are fallin'

from the wall where

I placed them yesterday.

The world is turnin',

I hope it don't turn away.

 

I need a crowd of people,

but I can't face them

day to day,

I need a crowd of people,

but I can't face them

day to day.

Though my problems

are meaningless,

that don't make them

go away.

I need a crowd of people,

but I can't face them

day to day.

 

I went to the radio interview,

but I ended up alone

at the microphone,

I went to the radio interview,

but I ended up alone

at the microphone.

Now I'm livin'

out here on the beach,

but those seagulls are

still out of reach.

I went to the radio interview,

but I ended up alone

at the microphone.

 

Get out of town,

think I'll get out of town,

Get out of town,

think I'll get out of town.

I head for the sticks

with my bus and friends,

I follow the road,

though I don't know

where it ends.

Get out of town, get out of town,

think I'll get out of town.

 

'Cause the world is turnin',

I don't want to

see it turn away.

Ambulance Blues

 

(Written: t.b.d.)

 

Notes:

 

Back in the old folky days

The air was magic when we played.

The riverboat was rockin'

in the rain

Midnight was the time

for the raid.

 

Oh, Isabela, proud Isabela,

They tore you down and

plowed you under.

You're only real

with your make-up on

How could I see you

and stay too long?

 

All along the Navajo Trail,

Burn-outs stub their toes

on garbage pails.

Waitresses are cryin'

in the rain

Will their boyfriends

pass this way again?

 

Oh, Mother Goose,

she's on the skids

Shoe ain't happy,

neither are the kids.

She needs someone

that she can scream at

And I'm such a heel

for makin' her feel so bad.

 

I guess I'll call it

sickness gone

It's hard to say

the meaning of this song.

An ambulance can only

go so fast

It's easy to get buried

in the past

When you try to make

a good thing last.

 

I saw today

in the entertainment section

There's room at the top

for private detection.

To Mom and Dad

this just doesn't matter,

But it's either that

or pay off the kidnapper.

 

So all you critics sit alone

You're no better than me

for what you've shown.

With your stomach pump and

your hook and ladder dreams

We could get together

for some scenes.

 

I never knew a man

could tell so many lies

He had a different story

for every set of eyes.

How can he remember

who he's talkin' to?

'Cause I know it ain't me,

and I hope it isn't you.

 

Well, I'm up in T.O.

keepin' jive alive,

And out on the corner

it's half past five.

But the subways are empty

And so are the cafes.

 

Except for the Farmer's Market

And I still can hear him say:

You're all just pissin'

in the wind

You don't know it but you are.

 

And there ain't nothin'

like a friend

Who can tell you

you're just pissin'

in the wind.

 

I never knew a man

could tell so many lies

He had a different story

for every set of eyes

How can he remember

who he's talking to?

Cause I know it ain't me,

and hope it isn't you.

sorry you missed em..weeeeee it's 6:28AM here..and I'm STILL up! but then, i didnt get up till 7 due to maaaad hangover! :stunned: :D

 

:cry: Thanks for caring. This is the first time in seven years I haven't gone to see them. :disappointed: If I was of age, I'd be stinking drunk right now. But I'm not, so, I'm going to mourn by setting a new record for myself and stay up 48 hours straight. Previous record was 36. Who needs drugs? I've already been up for 14 hours... 34 to go. *woo-hoos feebly*

 

Ah, this is going to be interesting, especially after the 20th hour, that's when I start to feel like I'm in somebody else's dream and nothing is real... Strange feeling. :stunned:

Lovesick Blues by some dude (covered by Ryan Adams)

 

I got a feelin' called the blu-ues, oh, Lawd

Since my baby said good-bye

And I don't know what I'll do-oo-oo

All I do is sit and sigh-igh, oh, Lawd

That last long day she said good-bye

Well Lawd I thought I would cry

She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kind of lovin'

Lawd, I love to hear her when she calls me

Sweet dad-ad-ad-dy, such a beautiful dream

I hate to think it all o-o-ver

I've lost my heart it seems

I've grown so used to you some- how

Well, I'm nobody's sugar-daddy now

And I'm lo-on-lonesome

I got the Lovesick Blu-ues

 

Well, I'm in love, I'm in love, with a beautiful gal

That's what's the matter with me

Well, I'm in love, I'm in love, with a beautiful gal

But she don't care about me

Lawd, I tried and I tried, to keep her satisfied

But she just wouldn't stay

So now that she is lea-eav-in'

This is all I can say

 

I got a feelin' called the blu-ues, oh, Lawd

Since my baby said good-bye

And I don't know what I'll do-oo-oo

All I do is sit and sigh-igh, oh, Lawd

That last long day she said good-bye

Well Lawd I thought I would cry

She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kind of lovin'

Lawd, I love to hear her when she calls me

Sweet dad-ad-ad-dy, such a beautiful dream

I hate to think it all o-o-ver

I've lost my heart it seems

I've grown so used to you some- how

Well, I'm nobody's sugar-daddy now

And I'm lo-on-lonesome

I got the Lovesick Blu-ues

i know that feeling!! 36hrs previous rec ey? That's about mine too.."If you believe they put a man on the moon..then nothing is cool" sorry i just broke into random REM there..it happens..so whats your exuse for the insomniathons? mines the post-graduation no one will hire my ass/too lazy to search for a job blues :stunned:

Well, the 36 hour record was when I graduated from high school. Got up early to get ready for the ceremony, stayed out all night at Disneyland, hung out at school the next day and went to the movies with my friends before passing out and sleeping for twenty hours.

 

That was an exception. Usually I stay up for no reason. I have trouble sleeping at night, even if I'm exausted, I can't fall asleep until after dawn. :confused: It's hell when I have to go class at 8am. Now THAT is an insane hour!

 

I know, I'm weird. :goofy:

nah you're not weird, there's plenty of people like that, most of em you can find on here :stunned: :D I dont have trouble sleeping, i just like staying up, pushing my body and mind to the limits, it's why i feel we we're given them :smug: Also, i feel if i sleep too much i'm missingb out on life, we spend too much time sleeping..there's something happening somewhere i just know that there is..to quote the Boss mr Springsteen..

:lol: Yeah, those are fine reasons as well, but sheer pervisity drives me a lot of the time. I like being the only one awake. "The sound of loneliness makes me happier..." Gah, I've started singing already. I'm gonna be loads of fun tomorrow. I also like being goofy and making an ass of myself, which I inevitably end up doing when I'm running entirely on caffeine. :D Cos when I try to be normal, I end up vaguely depressed. ;) Another reason: it's the only time I get to watch TV w/o interruption. I guess I do have reasons other than a possible chemical imbalance for staying up. :)

i like the angle you approach it from there, and find myself agreeing profusely, another sign of being up this long, i start agreeing with everyone and everything to avoid challenging my brain to a duel it clearly doesnt want to be a part of..i like being the only one awake..hell is other people ~ sartre...i do my best (and weirdest, which to me IS best) thinking at this time and paradoxically get more done by doing less..a fine time to use words like paradoxically i know..and trust me "normality"? well first off it doesnt exist and secondly thinking yourself to be normal is a depressing thought, so i'd avoid that completely..entertaining notions of thinking we belong in this so called "normal" world/environment is to let in the death of the imagination, and the death of the imagination is the death of everything..ok thats my deep thinking done for now..time for some mindless self indulgence. :cool:

:o whew!

 

I also notice that, the more soporific the hour, the greater my tendency to utilize overly/unnecessarily ambitious/obscure language. :blank: Big words, then. :rolleyes:

 

And the "normal" bit is what my parents try to force me to do. You'd think they'd just give up on it already since I always give it a half-hearted go and eventually wind up exactly where I was before. It's not like I'm keeping them up too. :confused:

i hear ya on the parental normality thing...and i'm juuust about out of profound thoughts so i'm gonna hit up some random threads with my random buddy Amanda there :cool:

Ah, good, I've run out of [(somewhat) sensible] things to say myself. Back to lyrics then!

 

Damien Rice - Cannonball

 

There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth

Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt

Still a little hard to say what's goin' on

 

Still a little bit of your ghost, your witness

Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed

You step a little closer each day

Yet I can't see what's going on

 

Stones taught me to fly

Love, it taught me to lie

And life, it taught me to die

So it's not hard to fall

When you float like a cannonball

 

Still a little bit of your song in my ear

Still a little bit of your words I long to hear

You step a little closer to me

So close that I can't see what's goin' on

 

Stones taught me to fly

Love, it taught me to lie

And life taught me to die

So it's not hard to fall

When you float like a cannon--

 

Stones taught me to fly

Love, it taught me to cry

So come on courage

Teach me to be shy

Cos it's not hard to fall

And I don't wanna scare her

It's not hard to fall

And I don't wanna lose

It's not hard to grow

When you know that you just don't know

ooooooooh good lyrics choice!!! Damo rawks! I saw him at Glastonbury & he's gonna be at the V festival, Chelmsford too woooooooooooo! :rolleyes: ;)

im just listening to O ;)

My favourite song at the moment -

 

David Gray - Babylon

Friday night I'm going nowhere

All the lights are changing green to red

Turning over TV stations

Situations running through my head

Well looking back through time

You know it's clear that I've been blind

I've been a fool

To ever open up my heart

To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

 

Saturday I'm running wild

And all the lights are changing red to green

Moving through the crowd I'm pushing

Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream

Only wish that you were here

You know I'm seeing it so clear

I've been afraid

To tell you how I really feel

Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

 

If you want it

Come and get it

Crying out loud

The love that I was

Giving you was

Never in doubt

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

 

Babylon,

 

Sunday all the lights of London

Shining , Sky is fading red to blue

I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves

And wondering where it is you might be going to

Turning back for home

You know I'm feeling so alone

I can't believe

Climbing on the stair

I turn around to see you smiling there

In front of me

 

 

If you want it

Come and get it

Crying out loud

The love that I was

Giving you was

Never in doubt

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

 

Babylon

SEBADOH - BEAUTY OF THE RIDE

 

Never did and never will

It’s just the way it’s always been

I’ve made mistakes before, I’ll make the same again

And all this tension we ignore surely works its ugly way inside

I have known that nothing’s fair, surely what did I expect?

When magic slips into the air and every day’s another test

And all this tension we ignore, it surely works its ugly way outside

So let it build, let it explode

Leaving blood and shattered bone

Or bite your tongue ‘til you’ve forgotten what to say

And take another step back, until you find you’ve walked away

Silence like disease, but I dare not say it hurts

‘Cuz if I honestly react, nothing’s ever gonna work

All this tension back and forth

It’s just the beauty of the ride

It’s just the beauty of the ride

So let it build, let it explode

Leaving blood and shattered bone

Or bite your tongue ‘til you’ve forgotten what to say

And take another step back, until you find you’ve walked away

my current favorite song

Wilco - How To Fight Loneliness

 

How to fight loneliness

Smile all the time

Shine your teeth to meaningless

And sharpen them with lies

 

And whatever is going down

Will you follow around

That's how you fight loneliness

 

You laugh at every joke

Drag your blanket blindly

Fill your heart with smoke

 

And the first thing that you want

Will be the last thing you'll ever need

That's how you fight it

 

Just smile all the time

Just smile all the time

Just smile all the time

Just smile all the time

Doves - Caught by the River

 

Son, what have you done?

You're caught by the river

You're coming undone

Life you know it can't be so easy

But you can't just leave it

Cos you're not in control anymore

 

And you give it all away

Would you give it all away now?

Don't let it come apart

Don't want to see you come apart

 

Son, what are you doing?

You learned a hard lesson

When you stood by the water

You and I were so full of love and hope

Would you give it all up now?

Would you give in just to spite them all?

 

And you give it all away

Would you give it all away now?

Don't let it come apart

Don't want to see you come apart

 

Cos you give it all away

And you give it all away now

Don't let it come apart

Don't want to see you come apart

 

Lay, I lay in the long grass

So many people

So many people pass

Stay, stay here and lie on back

Get down on the cornfields

Stay till we're caught at last

 

Give it all away

Give it all away now

Don't let it come apart

Don't want to see you come apart

 

And you give it all away

You give it all away now

Don't let it come apart

Don't want to see you come apart

 

And you give it all away

Travis - The Beautiful Occupation

 

don't just stand there watchin' it happenin', I can't stand it, I don't feel it

somethin' tellin' me I don't wanna go out this way, but have a nice day

then read it in the headlines, watch it on the tv

put it in the background, stick it in the back, stick it in the back

for the beautiful occupation, the beautiful occupation

you don't need an invitation to drop in upon a nation

 

I'm too cynical, I'm just sittin' here, I'm just wastin' my time

half a million civilians gonna die today, but look the wrong way

then read it in the headlines, watch it on the tv

put it in the background, stick it in the back, stick it in the back

for the beautiful occupation, the beautiful occupation

you don't need an invitation to drop in upon a nation

 

don't just stand there watchin' it happenin', I can't stand it, I don't feel it

somethin' tellin' me I don't wanna go out this way, but have a nice day

then read it in the headlines, watch it on the tv

put it in the background, stick it in the back, stick it in the back

for the beautiful occupation, the beautiful occupation

you don't need an invitation to drop in upon a nation

the beautiful occupation, the beautiful occupation

so much for an intervention, don't call the united nations

^^^^ BEAUTIFUL OCCUPATION, BEAUTIFUL SONG! :D

IT IS!! :stunned:

Phish - Dirt

 

washed up ashore

washed up ashore

 

I'd like to live beneath the dirt

a tiny space to move and breathe

is all that I would ever need

 

I wanna live beneath the dirt

where I'd be free from push and shove

like all those swarming up above

 

beneath their heels I'll spend my time

(shout your name into the wind)

I'll wriggle in the earth and dew

(shout your name into the wind)

and sometimes I will think of you

(shout your name into the wind)

 

and if you ever think of me

kneel down and kiss the earth

and show me what this thought is worth

(I'll never hear your voice again)

 

shout your name into the wind

(washed up ashore)

shout your name into the wind

(washed up ashore)

shout your name into the wind

(washed up ashore)

shout your name into the wind

(washed up ashore)

 

shout your name into the wind

(washed up ashore)

shout your name into the wind

(washed up ashore)

shout your name into the wind

(washed up ashore)

shout your name into the wind

(washed up ashore)
