More Wilco can never hurt. :D

 

Wilco - Ashes Of American Flags

 

The cash machine is blue and green

For a bundle of twenties and a small service fee

I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents

On Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes

I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck

How hot and sorrowful, the machine begs for luck

 

All my lies are always wishes

I know I would die if I could come back new

 

We want a good life with a nose for things

the fresh wind and bright sky to endure my suffering

I'm a hole without a key if I break my tongue

Oh, speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come?

 

All my lies are always wishes

I know I would die if I could come back new

 

I'm down on my hands and knees

every time I hear a doorbell ring

I shake like a toothache

every time I hear myself sing

 

All my lies are only wishes

I know I would die if I could come back new

 

I would like to salute

the ashes of American flags

And all the fallen leaves

filling up shopping bags

Ashes of American Flags? is that a good or bad thing? :huh:

Well, it's a good song. As to it being a good thing, that's all a matter of opinion. :/

doesnt it pertain to burning american flags?

Yeah... is there something wrong with that? :confused:

Liberty - Vertical Horizon

 

We met as two total strangers

As many lovers often do

But who could have ever seen the danger

I didn't know I'd fall in love with you

 

You are this lonely picker's daydream

Like a wish that's wishing to come true

So Liberty just know I'm waiting

To share this love song with you

 

Chorus

Do you think about me when you're lying in his bed

Won't you take the time to explain

Do you ever think you'd rather be with me instead

Or do you only think about me when it rains

 

We shared some special nights together

We said we'd watch the morning rise

But when the sun was all around us

Wasn't nothing I hadn't seen in your eyes

 

I try so hard to keep it hidden

But I am hurting deep inside

For every time I've seen you smile

There are two times that I have cried

 

Chorus

 

Now and forever my love will be the same

I will be waiting underneath the pouring rain.

 

 

 

 

the most depressing song you could ever hear :(

Yeah... is there something wrong with that? :confused:

 

yes and no.

yes and no?

yes because i dont really care cause i dont have hardly any patriotism, and i dont know why no though...

Alrighty then :) Back on topic...

 

Bright Eyes - False Advertising

 

on a string, on a string

on a string I was held

the way that I move, can you tell

my actions are orchestrated from above

and so I swing and I sway

wave my hand, kick my leg

and it's always right with the music

(til all that swayin' starts to make you sick)

 

for a song I was bought

now I lie when I talk

with a careful eye on the cue cards

onto a stage, I was pushed

with my sorrow well-rehearsed

so give me all your pity and your money now

all of it

(we used to think that sound was something pure)

 

but if I could act like this was my real life

and not some cage where I been placed

well then I could tell you the truth like I used to

and not be afraid of soundin' fake

now all anyone's listenin' for are the mistakes

 

(oh I'm sorry!)

no it's okay, it's okay

1-2-3, 1-2-3

 

[odd shouts and yells]

 

in a house, by myself

I hear the ice start to melt

and I watch rooftops weep for the sunlight

and I know what must change

fuck my face, fuck my name

they are brief and false advertisements

for a soul I don't have

somethin' true I have lacked

and spent my whole life tryin' to make up for

 

but I found in a song

and in the people I love

they will lift me up out of darkness

and now my door, it stands open

I'm invitin' everyone in

we're gonna laugh

we're gonna drink until the morning comes

that's what we're gonna do

come on, come on!

Sex Type Thing - Stone Temple Pilots

 

I am, I am, I am

I said I wanna get next to you

I said I'm gonna get close to you

You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too

 

I ain't, I ain't, I ain't

A buyin' into your apathy

I'm gonna learn you my philosophy

You wanna know about atrocity, atrocity

 

Chorus:

I know you want what's on my mind

I know you like what's on my mind

I know it eats you up inside

I know, you know, you know, you know

 

I am a man, a man

I'll give you something that you won't forget

I said you shouldn't have worn that dress

I said you shouldn't have worn that dress

 

Chorus

 

Here I come, I come, I come

Here I come, I come, I come

 

I am, I am, I am

I said I wanna get next to you

I said I'm gonna get close to you

You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too

 

Chorus x2

 

Here I come, I come, I come

Here I come, I come, I come

Here I come, I come, I come

Here I come, I come, I come

Here I come, I come, I come

Here I come, I come, I come

Here I come, I come, I come

Here I come, I come, I come

Here I come, I come, I come

A couple of gems from the criminally overlooked & underappreciated SPOON

 

EVERYTHING HITS AT ONCE

 

 

DON’T SAY A WORD

THE LAST ONE’S STILL STINGING

BACK A MY MIND

I FEEL THAT PHONE RINGING

AND THERE IS NO WAY BACK FROM THIS

 

EVERYTHING HITS AT ONCE

WHAT WE NEEDS IS JUST WHAT WE WANTS

I GO TO SLEEP BUT THINK THAT YOU’RE NEXT TO ME

I GO TO SLEEP AND THINK YOU’RE NEXT TO ME

 

DON’T MAKE A MOVE

WHEN I WALK OUT DON’T FOLLOW ME

OUT IN THE CAR

CAN FEEL IT CALLING ME

AND OOH YOU’RE SO FAR AWAY

 

BUT I CAN STILL CHANGE MY MIND TONIGHT

I GOTTA CHANGE MY MIND SOMEHOW

I GO TO SLEEP ALONE BUT THINK THAT YOU’RE NEXT TO ME

EVERYTHING HITS AT ONCE TONIGHT

OUTSIDE IS ALL LIT UP WITH AD LIGHTS

IN TRAFFIC WE BECOME ON THE WAY BACK HOME

PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN JUST ON OUR OWN

 

I GOTTA CHANGE MY MIND TONIGHT

I CAN STILL CHANGE MY MIND TONIGHT

MERGING IN TRAFFIC CROSS THE LANES AND THEN WE BECOME

SOMETHING BIGGER THAN JUST ANY ONE

OH AND EVERYTHING HITS AT ONCE

WHAT WE NEEDS IS JUST WHAT WE WANTS

I GO TO SLEEP AND THINK THAT YOU’RE NEXT TO ME

I GO TO SLEEP AND THINK THAT YOU’RE NEXT TO ME

 

 

THE WAY WE GET BY

WE GET HIGH IN BACK SEATS OF CARS

WE BREAK INTO MOBILE HOMES

WE GO TO SLEEP TO SHAKE APPEAL

NEVER WAKE UP ON OUR OWN

 

AND THAT'S THE WAY WE GET BY

 

WE GO OUT IN STORMY WEATHER

WE RARELY PRACTICE DISCERN

WE MAKE LOVE TO SOME WEIRD SIN

WE SEEK OUT THE TACITURN

 

THAT'S THE WAY WE GET BY

 

WE FOUND A NEW KIND OF DANCE IN A MAGAZINE

TRIED IT OUT IT'S LIKE NOTHING YOU EVER SEEN

YOU SWEET TALK LIKE A COP AND YOU KNOW IT

YOU BOUGHT A NEW BAG OF POT, SAID LET'S MAKE A NEW START

 

AND THAT'S THE WAY TO MY HEART

THAT'S THE WAY WE GET BY

 

WE GET HIGH IN BACK SEATS OF CARS

WE PUT FAITH IN OUR CONCERNS

FALL IN LOVE TO DOWN ON THE STREET

WE BELIEVE IN THE SUM OF OURSELVES

 

I SAID THAT'S THE WAY WE GET BY

here's how to write a song quick and to the point folks, more SPOON

 

 

T H E G U E S T L I S T / T H E E X E C U T I O N

 

reach for a drink when you're in cola land

it may be just what you need but it's never enough

and now we're sending out but it's never enough

it's just the last time you'll get the truth in

I'm on the guest list / the execution.

 

 

Q U I N C Y P U N K E P I S O D E

 

molly said she ought to leave you in the ground

when they see you hanging down from on the ceiling

I've got a feeling

that there's no one if you could speak would believe you

i-n-t-h-e-g-r-o-u-n-d ground

Minerva - The Deftones

 

i get all numb

when she sings it's over

such a strange numb

and it brings my knees to the earth

 

and God bless you all

for the song you sang...us

 

you're the same numb

when you sing it's over

such a strange numb

it could bring back peace to the earth

 

so God bless you all

for the song you sang us, oh

for the hearts you break

everytime you moan

 

i get all numb

we're the same numb

and it brings our knees to the earth

 

so God bless you all

for the song you sang us, oh

for the hearts you break

everytime you moan, oh oh

and God bless you all on the earth...

Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug

I've got my head, but my head is unravelling

Can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's travelling

I've got my heart, but my heart is no good

And you're the only one that's understood

I'd come along, but I don't know where you're taking me

I shouldn't go, but you're reaching, dragging, shaking me

Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky

The more I give to you, the more I die

 

and I want you

and I want you

and I want you

and I want you

 

you are the perfect drug…the perfect drug…the perfect drug

you are the perfect drug…the perfect drug…the perfect drug

 

You make me hard, when I'm all soft inside

I see the truth, when I'm all stupid eyed

The arrow goes straight through my heart

Without you everything just falls apart

 

My blood, it wants to say hello to you

My fears, they want to get inside of you

My soul, it's so afraid to realize

How very little there is left of me

 

and I want you

and I want you

and I want you

and I want you

 

you are the perfect drug…the perfect drug…the perfect drug 5x

you are the perfect drug…the perfect drug…the perfect drug

 

take me with you

take me with you

take me with you

take me with you

without you…without you everything falls apart

without you…it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

without you…without you everything falls apart

without you…it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

without you…without you everything falls apart

without you…it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

 

I heard this the other day..i now have an obsession with it..RAWK! :stunned:

David Gray - Gathering Dust

 

I got no reason but that I must

maybe I feel like I've been gatherin' dust

I must leave this harbour for the sea

I'm too young to settle down and make a home

but I don't know where I'm wanting to be

I just know I have to be there alone

 

stole my time

all my time

stole my time

for you

 

pale winter sun is beatin' the ground

why'm I throwin' away the best thing

that I've found

my young heart's in tatters

and I'm sure that it will be a long time healing

it's so hard to see what I'm doing this for

when loneliness is all that I'm feeling

 

stole my time

all my time

stole my time

for you

 

now the wind it is blowing

blowing leaves from the trees

I've got no use knowing

that with time it'll ease

I don't know where I'm going

hope I get there soon

cos my soul is hollow

as the sorrowful moon

na na na na...

 

now the wind it is blowing

blowing leaves from the trees

I've got no use knowing

that with time it'll ease

I don't know where I'm going

hope I get there soon

cos my soul is hollow

as the sorrowful moon

the sorrowful moon

the sorrowful moon

na na na na...

 

the night is raining

on my weary head

taking me back

 

see the sun spread its wings of gold

as the dawn unfurls

hear the song that the moon sings

to the darkened world

feel the fire lighting

in the bitter cold

it's like the light that shines

through the windows of your soul

the windows of your soul

na na na na...

 

windows of your soul

windows of your soul

na na na na...

Desaparecidos - Man and Wife, The Latter (Damaged Goods)

 

I'm growing out my hair

like it was when I was single

it was longer than I'd known you

I had no money then

I had no worries then at all

such a high standard of living

I just feel like I am dying

I'd start an argument

but you can barely even talk

 

there's good reason for your silence

have to take care of some business

so I fix your plate and I stay out of the way

will you stay like that forever

right in front of your computer

you'll look up one day

but you won't recognise me

 

so you wanna change

read a letter from a lawyer

wanna take me out to dinner

you wanna bury me under a mound of shopping bags

like it'd really make a difference

or make up for your disinterest

I'm a bill you pay

I'm a contract you can't break

 

and it's like I'm under water

or on an endless escalator

I just go up and up

but I don't ever reach the top

and it reads just like the bible

twenty centuries of scandal

yeah it all depends on how you interpret it

 

the word is love

the word is loss

the words are damaged goods

that's what I am

a lifetime gets chalked up to an experience

coincedence

we are chained to the events

that's it

I'm bored. What do I do when I'm bored (besides hum Christmas carols)? Transcribe song lyrics... :rolleyes:

 

Damien Rice - Sand (as performed on KCRW)

 

You keep me in a glass jar sealed with a label

You think you know my world

Wake up young girl

You take a thrust of lust, if you must now

We've got a lot to learn, yeah well

My love, my life, my work, my time

I give 'em all to you

 

Your hand in mine

We walk, we talk in ryhme

We go the whole night through, yeah

 

But I'm not a grain of sand

I don't care what's written in your hand

Cos it's bound to change, yes

 

So we're bored, and I'm a lost cause, cold

Getting older now

Rip it up, rip it up now

Have it sold

I'm a grower

Any more, any more, any more, any more

I wanna be with you

Jus-just wanna be with you

 

But you tease me

And it shows in the way that you play

Yeah, you think you know my love

Wake up young girl

And take a taste, not a bite, of a life now

Can tell you never come, yeah-yeah well

My will, my mind

My lips, my line

I've got a hold over you

 

Your taste combined

With all the years of wastin' time

I've got a hold on something new

I am not a grain of sand

I don't care what's written in your hand

Cos it's bound to change, yeah

 

So we're bored, and I'm a lost cause, cold

I'm getting older

Buy the book, rip it up now

Have it sold

I'm a grower

Any more, any more, any more, any more

I wanna be with you

Jus-just wanna be with you

 

But I don't wanna pray for what I know is not right

And I don't wanna beg for what is not mine

I don't wanna run the road between dreams and whirly things

I could charge, then I could really try

But I don't wanna be the brave one in a senseless fight

Oh I, said I, said I-I-I, I just wanna be here tonight

 

So we're bored, and I'm a lost cause, cold

I'm getting older

Buy the book, rip it up now

Have it sold

I'm a grower

Any more, any more, any more, any more...

I wanna be with you, just wanna be with you

 

So we're bored, and I'm a lost cause, cold

Getting older

Buy the book, rip it up now

Have it sold

I'm a grower

Any more, any more, any more, any more...

Any more, any more, any more, any more...

Any more, any more, any more, any more...

 

You keep me in a glass jar sealed with a label

You think you know my world

Wake up young girl

Stereophonics - T-Shirt Suntan

 

He was walking 'round to you

One said french afternoon

So he called in to shop for two

He bought himself an ice drink

A totally tropical nice drink

Then he saw what he thought was you in a room

 

He thought about goin' over

But you were always much older

And your sex dressed breasts impressed too

 

He'd really like to get it together

Before the 12th of never

so he's coming over

 

 

It's when all the phases come around

The clothes you wear, the sex and love

It's enough for the time

Outta touch, out of luck

 

He always liked them older

So that his top lip touched on her shoulder

Lionized undisguised kill for you

 

like to show you his t-shirt sun tan

like to show you his minute head stand

then a gun spun open

 

It's when when all the phases come around

The clothes you wear the sex and love

It's enough for the time

Outta touch, out of luck

 

It's when all the phases come around

The clothes you wear, the sex and love

It's enough for the time

Outta touch, out of luck

 

From you to me to me to you

from you to me to me to you

from you to me to to you

from you to me to me to you

 

It's when all the phases come around

The clothes you wear, the sex and love

It's enough for the time

Outta touch, out of luck

 

It's when all the phases come around

the clothes you wear, the sex and love

it's enough for the time

outta touch, out of luck

out of luck

too lazy to look back if it's been posted already :smug:

 

Muse - Stockholm Syndrome

 

I wont stand in your way

Let your hatred grow

And she'll scream and she'll shout and she'll pray

And she had a name yeah she had a name

 

And i wont hold you back

Let your anger rise

And we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn

No one will recall no one will recall

 

This is the last time i'll abandon you

And this is the last time i'll forget you

I wish i could

 

Look to the stars

Let hope burn in your eyes

And we'll love and we'll hope and we'll die

All to no avail all to no avail

 

This is the last time i'll abandon you

And this is the last time ill forget you

I wish i could

 

This is the last time i'll abandon you

And this is the last time i'll forget you

I wish i could

I wish i could
