Wish - Alien Ant Farm

 

Proud, proud is to hear it all yeah yeah

Proud ah proud, proud is to watch us fall yeah yeah

Make a wish, make a succotash wish

You live the pompous life

Throw kisses all the time

Make wishes don’t break mine

 

Cold fire use to inspire all not now

These are tired, maybe they’ll find their niche

Or resort to wish

 

Make a wish, make a succotash wish

You live the pompous life

Throw kisses all the time

Make wishes don’t break mine

 

Don’t be low, you better watch the road

Don’t be low, you got the strength and the balls

 

Chimes use to break my wish

Back…won’t you bring him back? Not now

 

Don’t be low, you better watch the road

Don’t be low, you got the strength and the balls

 

Chimes use to break my wish

 

 

Calico - Alien Ant Farm

 

So make it real

Just make it real

 

That’s not a reason to fire me

That ain’t no real reason

It’s funny things cheapen when we disagree

If things got any worse then cheap would turn free

 

Calico cats and calico dreams

That ain’t too real

Just make it real

 

Feel all the seasons flood through you and me

And see what trouble she’s in

But that’s not a reason to fire me

That ain’t no real reason

 

Calico cats and calico dreams

That ain’t too real

Just make it real

Collisions hurt and abrasions bleed

It’s hard to deal when all you do is feel

 

Campfires swell into monstrous things

That summer heat that’s winter deep

 

And all your wild winds

They couldn’t stop me from flying

 

Calico cats and calico dreams

That ain’t too real

Just make it real

Collisions hurt and abrasions bleed

It’s hard to deal when all you do is feel

 

Just make it real

:cool: David Gray - Kangaroo :cool:

 

don't pay no mind to it

oh let it blow

break you up inside

if you don't let it go

jeez what you are like honey

I don't know

recommended by my bank

and everybody in the tank

first of all I'd like to thank

 

this might take a while honey

hey don't blink

missing by a mile now we're

here on the brink

not a day goes by

I don't think

 

I could be your volunteer

we'll make the whole thing disappear

saddle up we're outta here

you could be my olive branch

lift me up above the stench

walk me through the avalanche

 

honey won't you be my flood

nothing ever comes out good

trouble in the neighbourhood

conversations gone askew

and how do you make it feel like new

kookaburra kangaroo

 

will you won't you be my leach

take it all and when I screech

leave it there just outta reach

take me to that burning bush

give me something that I can't crush

lead me out into the hush

 

so far behind

so far behind

so far behind

so far behind

Muse - Yes Please

 

Jump on top of my pleasure pill?...Ha Ha Ha!

YES PLEASE! Ha! Ha!

 

I cannot sleep,

There’s too much noise in my head!

I cannot sleep,

I want it here instead!

 

I never thought that this could come to this.

I just wanna look at your face in peace now.

You’ll never miss.

But I can...

 

I cannot keep

The shame that’s clawed us out!

I will not keep

Your shut-up, shut-up lies!

 

I never thought that this could come to this.

I just wanna live in bliss, in peace now.

You will never miss.

But I can...

David Gray - Faster Sooner Now

 

hey now, you got me by the tongue

I feel like there's nowhere I belong

and they're working it pretty hard

and they're selling it by the yard

but it's more than I can afford

that's all that I know

 

leader, it comes as no surprise

see now, these are coins that were his eyes

silver dollars and hoods of steel

tell me nothing can be revealed

the more you get it the less you feel

that's all that I know

 

starts a shivering in my spine

and a fever I can't define

it gets colder the higher you climb

that's all that I know

 

you kill me with every word you say

I’m dead now

along with faith and chivalry

silver dollars and hoods of steel

tell me nothing can be revealed

the more you get it the less you feel

that's all that I know

 

colder the higher you climb

colder the higher you climb

colder the higher you climb

that's all that I know

Jeesus christ! All these lyrics are so long, like sooo long, my lyrics are usually about 6-12 lines long, and I couldnt really imagine writing any other way. Gah! LONG

Short attention span? ;)

 

Bright Eyes - Mirrors and Fevers

 

I was cold in a dream somewhere close to the surface

between the ice and the stream there's three inches of air

so I swam towards the light I let my breath get there first

when I opened my eyes I saw myself in a mirror

and I knew I would do like my father has done

yes we will never break from these chains

your life's gonna course like a history book

don't be frightened of turnin' the page

cos it's all the same, it will always be the same

i fucking love this song.

 

Wherever You Will Go - The Calling

 

So lately, been wondering

Who will be there to take my place

When I´m gone you´ll need love to light the shadows on your face

If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all

Then between the sand and stone, could you make it on your own

 

If I could, then I would,

I´ll go wherever you will go

Way up high or down low, I´ll go wherever you will go

 

And maybe, I´ll find out

A way to make it back someday

To watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days

If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all

Then I hope there´s someone out there

Who can bring me back to you

 

Chorus

 

Run away with my heart

Run away with my hope

Run away with my love

 

I know now, just quite how,

My life and love may still go on

In your heart, in your mind, I´ll stay with you for all of time

 

Chorus

 

If I could turn back time

I'll go wherever you will go

If I could make you mine

I'll go wherever you will go

and i dont care what anybody thinks about these guys, i love this song

 

One Last Breath - Creed

 

Please come now I think I'm falling

I'm holding to all I think is safe

It seems I found the road to nowhere

And I'm trying to escape

I yelled back when I heard thunder

But I'm down to one last breath

And with it let me say

Let me say

 

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

That maybe six feet

Ain't so far down

 

I'm looking down now that it's over

Reflecting on all of my mistakes

I thought I found the road to somewhere

Somewhere in His grace

I cried out heaven save me

But I'm down to one last breath

And with it let me say

Let me say

 

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

That maybe six feet

Ain't so far down

 

Sad eyes follow me

But I still believe there's somthing left for me

So please come stay with me

'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me

For you and me

For you and me

 

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

I really like that song too :) but Creed isn't my favorite

Whiskeytown - Fool

 

held up on the interstate

sky pretty enough to paint

held out and I was too late

held out and I was too late

 

I shoulda laid it down

I shoulda been myself

I'm such a fool

I'm such a fool

I'm such a fool to you

 

busy night on the town for a drink

doin' up on the bathroom sink

pretty lights, pretty wasted so

somewhere into mexico

 

and I shoulda laid it down

I should've been myself

cos I'm such a fool

I'm such a fool

I'm such a fool to you

 

imagine the slowest dance in the whole wide world

roll the crowd with your arm around the girl

 

dressed up with no place to go

see the people I don't want to

two drinks and we'll take some pills

wonder how it used to feel

 

I shoulda laid it down

I shoulda been myself

I'm just a fool

I'm just a fool

I'm just a fool for you...

I really like that song too :) but Creed isn't my favorite

 

arent mine either :) i love My Sacrifice and With Arms Wide Open too. :) i like Higher and Bullets fairly though

Whiskeytown - Bar Lights :drunk:

 

the bar lights and the liquor

the way all the bottles they shine

well I got five more dollars, drink another

you’ll feel fine

you’ll feel fine

you'll feel fine

 

the bar lights and the liquor

the empty pool hall and you and I

I got five more dollars, drink another

you'll feel fine

you'll feel fine

you'll feel fine

 

write your name down on a matchbook sleeve

call me up on sunday for a drink

call me up on sunday, call me anything

 

the bar lights and the liquor

the way all the bottles they shine

I’ve got five more dollars

that won't make you mine

that won't make you mine

that won't make you mine

lord, it won't make you mine

Bright Eyes - Go Find Yourself a Dry Place

 

I wish there was something I could do for you

and I wish there were some words I could say

but I know that you've thought it all out so well

and I know there's nothing I should say

figured it all out, figured it all out

 

and nothing stands up to biology

and truth is built on shaky ground

depression's all I get from philosophy

and do I really, do I really want the truth I've found

do I want, do I want the truth I've found

and who's to blame, the educated remains of dead scholars

 

so tell me what's the point of surviving

why do we try so hard to stay alive

we know that nothing we do really matters

and it, it wash away with time

it wash away with time, wash away with time

 

but there's a feeling I get when the end is loud enough

and there's a feeling I get when she smiles at me

and there's a feeling I get when I'm staying up late with you

stay up late with you

if that is all there is, if that is all there is

then that is all I need

and someday you will see that it's true

 

body grows tired when no sleep can mend it

and time has chased and killed all of our friends

there's no place left in the sky for them to send us to

just lay down and let the light come down

cover up our dreams, cover up the years

as you'd say, our bodies will make the raspberries grow

sad :cry:

 

Liberty - VH

 

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.

Aneurysm - Nirvana

 

Come on over, and do the twist, ah-ha

Over-do it, and have a fit, ah-ha

Love you so much, it makes me sick, ah-ha

Come on over and, do the twist, ah-ha

 

Beat the outta me...

 

Come on over, and do the twist, ah-ha

Over-do it, and have a fit, ah-ha

Love you so much, it makes me sick, ah-ha

Come on over, and shoot the shit, ah-ha

 

Beat me outta me, beat it, beat it [x7]

Beat the outta me...

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

 

She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart [x8]

:cool: A special song for my 500th post...

 

Bright Eyes - One Foot In Front Of The Other

 

if you walk away, I'll walk away

first, tell me which road you will take

I don't wanna risk our paths crossing someday

so you walk that way, I'll walk this way

 

the future hangs over our heads

and it moves with each current event

until it falls all around us like a cold steady rain

just stay in when it's lookin' this way

 

the moon's layin' low in the sky

forcin' everythin' metal to shine

an' the sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case

they argue walk this way, no walk this way

 

and laura is asleep in my bed

as I'm leavin' she wakes up and says

I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave

baby, don't go away, come here

 

and there's kids playin' guns in the street

and one's pointin' his tree-branch at me

so I put my hands up, say enough is enough

if you walk away, I'll walk away

and then he shot me dead

 

I found a liquid cure, for my land-locked blues

they will pass away like a slow parade

it's leavin' but I don't know how soon

 

the world's got me dizzy again

you'd think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin

and it only feels worse when I stay in one place

so I'm always pacin' around or walkin' away

 

I'm drinkin' the ink from my pen

and I'm balancin' history books up on my head

and it all boils down to one quotable phrase

if you love somethin' give it away

 

a good woman will pick you apart

a box full of suggestions for a possible heart

and you may be offended, and you may be afraid

but don't walk away, don't walk away

 

we made love on the livin' room floor

with the noise in the background from a televised war

and in that deafening pleasure, I thought heard someone say:

if we walk away, they'll walk away

 

but greed is a bottomless pit

and our feedom's a joke, or just takin' a piss

and the whole world must watch the sad comic display

if you're still free, start runnin' away

cos we're comin' for ya

 

I've grown tired of holdin' this pose

I feel more like a stranger each time I come home

so I'm makin' a deal with the devils of fame

sayin' let me walk away, please

 

you'll be free child, once you have died

from the shackles of language and measurable time

and then we can trade places, play musical graves

til they walk away, walk away, walk away

 

so I'm up at dawn, puttin' on my shoes

I just wanna make a clean escape

I'm leavin' but I don't know where to

I'm leavin' but I don't know where to

 

 

:dozey: no encore, goodnight y'all :snore:

Childrens Lullaby - VH

 

Little girl was down by the waterside

The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie

As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around

Sunny smiles not a raincloud could bring that girl down

But now....

 

What's behind those big brown eyes

Do you dream at night

Without your lullaby

 

Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark

Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart

He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see

Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory

And Now...

 

As his dreams go flashing by

He begins to hear

A lonely lullaby

 

Well now

We used to sing

And we used to cry

Through everything

In our children's lullaby

 

Little girl on the street with nobody around

Has her head in the air dirty feet on the ground

She shuts her eyes and she wonders is this a mistake

Now she's gone from the warmth of her little boy days

And still...

 

She believes that she'll get by

On her own without

Her little boy's lullaby

 

Little boy prays to God to answer his song

To hold her hand when everyone else's are gone

Time goes by and the wounds slowly turn into scars

So he makes his final wish on the midnight stars

And he screams...

 

Little girl won't you hear my cry

Won't you come back home

To your lover's lullaby

 

Little girl down by the waterside

Goodbye

 

 

Lines Upon Your Face - VH

 

A small group of boys walks down the street

Throwing a ball in the air

One says to another

Hey I'll always be your brother

I'll always be your friend

 

Chorus

Do you remember

When we thought we were immortal

And the games we played always had a happy end

But in the game of life all the roses wither

And time writes its lines upon your face

 

Summer's here and three young men

Drive through the town in the night air

When fall comes they'll part again

One turns to another and he says

 

Chorus

 

It's three A.M. and he's been feeling lonely

Work's been hard and the city's hard too

He picks up the phone and halfway across the country

A brother listens to his blues he says

 

Chorus

 

Lift your voices loud and clearly

Sing for brotherhood right now

Lift your voices loud and clearly

Sing for sisterhood right now

 

Sometimes I wish

That we all were immortal

And the game of life always had a happy end

But I know it's not true oh time keeps passing

But I'm just glad to spend my time

With you

 

Lift your voices loud and clearly

Sing for brotherhood right now

Lift your voices loud and clearly

Sing for sisterhood right now

Come Back Home - Pete Yorn

 

Come back home for another year

And find yourself in the thick of it

Come back home for another year

I always thought that you could handle this

 

And you know you’re hard enough

And you find you’re strong enough

And you feel you’re strong enough

 

Come back home for another year

And ask yourself if you could handle this

Say my name before you disappear

I always thought that you could handle this

 

And you know you’re hard enough

And you find you’re strong enough

And you feel you’re strong enough

 

In your life, you can talk about it

Oh in your life, you can live without

Can live without

 

And you know you’re hard enough

And you find you’re strong enough

Oh yeah you’ll find you’re hard enough

Oh yeah you’ll find you’re strong enough

 

Come back home

Yeah, come back home.

Im On Fire - Bruce Springsteen

 

Hey little girl is your daddy home

Did he go away and leave you all alone

I got a bad desire

I'm on fire

 

Tell me now baby is he good to you

Can he do to you the things I don't do

I can take you higher

Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire

 

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby

edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley

through the middle of my skull

 

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet

and a freight train running through the

middle of my head

Only you... can cool my desire

Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire

Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire

Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire

this is by one of my fave bands the rather brill Turin Brakes

 

'State Of Things'

 

 

Blind fold me

Tie me up or tie me down.

Yeah take me anywhere

Keep your ears close to the ground.

Listen to me but don't die laughing.

All things must end yeah?

But I can see my fate in your eyes

As I'm stitched up by my friends again.

They just can't defend the state of things

Between you and me

Used to be on fire.

So slip off your shackles

You don't need them where we're going.

See what happens just happens

There ain't no straight lines in the state of things.

So try to cling on for dear life

And don't forget the world keeps on turning round

Despite you and me

Used to be on fire, fire.

Now look now, see where we're going.

I don't know where I'm going

I don't know.

'I Remember' by Damien Rice ( :wink3: )

 

 

I remember it well

The first time that I saw

Your head around the door

'Cause mine stopped working

 

I remember it well

There was wet in your hair

I was stood in the stairs

And time stopped moving

 

I want you here tonight

I want you here

'Cause I can't believe what I found

I want you here tonight

I want you here

Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

 

I remember it well

Taxied out of a storm

To watch you perform

And my ships were sailing

 

I remember it well

I was stood in your line

And your mouth, your mouth, your mouth...

 

I want you here tonight

I want you here

'Cause I can't believe what I found

I want you here tonight

I want you here

Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

 

Except you, my love

Except you, my love...

 

Come all ye lost

Dive into moss

I hope that my sanity covers the cost

To remove the stain of my love

Paper maché

 

Come all ye reborn

Blow off my horn

I'm driving real hard

This is love, this is porn

God will forgive me

But I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn

 

I wanna hear what you have to say about me

Hear if you're gonna live without me

I wanna hear what you want

I remember December

 

And I wanna hear what you have to say about me

Hear if you're gonna live without me

I wanna hear what you want

What the hell do you want?

and another Damien Rice one just cos I feel like it :)

 

'Volcano'

 

 

Don't hold yourself like that

You'll hurt your knees

I kissed your mouth and back

But that's all I need

Don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down

 

What I am to you is not real

What I am to you you do not need

What I am to you is not what you mean to me

You give me miles and miles of mountains

And I'll ask for the sea

 

Don't throw yourself like that

In front of me

I kissed your mouth your back

Is that all you need?

Don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down

 

What I am to you is not real

What I am to you you do not need

What I am to you is not what you mean to me

You give me miles and miles of mountains

And I'll ask for what I give to you

Is just what i'm going through

This is nothing new

No no just another phase of finding what I really need

Is what makes me bleed

And like a new disease she's still too young to treat

Volcanoes melt me down

She's still too young

I kissed your mouth

You do not need me

Beds Are Buring - Midnight Oil

 

Out where the river broke

The bloodwood and the desert oak

Holden wrecks and boiling diesels

Steam in forty five degrees

 

The time has come

To say fair's fair

To pay the rent

To pay our share

The time has come

A fact's a fact

It belongs to them

Let's give it back

 

How can we dance when our earth is turning

How do we sleep while our beds are burning

How can we dance when our earth is turning

How do we sleep while our beds are burning

 

The time has come to say fairs fair

to pay the rent, now to pay our share

 

Four wheels scare the cockatoos

From Kintore East to Yuendemu

The western desert lives and breathes

In forty five degrees

 

The time has come

To say fair's fair

To pay the rent

To pay our share

The time has come

A fact's a fact

It belongs to them

Let's give it back

 

How can we dance when our earth is turning

How do we sleep while our beds are burning

How can we dance when our earth is turning

How do we sleep while our beds are burning

 

The time has come to say fair's fair

To pay the rent, now to pay our share

The time has come, a fact's a fact

It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back

 

How can we dance when our earth is turning

How do we sleep while our beds are burning

and another Damien Rice one just cos I feel like it :)

 

 

'Volcano'

 

 

Don't hold yourself like that

You'll hurt your knees

I kissed your mouth and back

But that's all I need

Don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down

 

What I am to you is not real

What I am to you you do not need

What I am to you is not what you mean to me

You give me miles and miles of mountains

And I'll ask for the sea

 

Don't throw yourself like that

In front of me

I kissed your mouth your back

Is that all you need?

Don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down

 

What I am to you is not real

What I am to you you do not need

What I am to you is not what you mean to me

You give me miles and miles of mountains

And I'll ask for what I give to you

Is just what i'm going through

This is nothing new

No no just another phase of finding what I really need

Is what makes me bleed

And like a new disease she's still too young to treat

Volcanoes melt me down

She's still too young

I kissed your mouth

You do not need me

 

That is THE sexiest song. :D

Bright Eyes - A New Arrangement

 

if you could change your days

arranging them in some sweet new sequence

like any new arrangement's gonna make a difference

cos it's the moment that I'm livin' in

and not the one that follows

that makes this mess I'm cleanin' in my head

 

time still drags you forward

though you're kickin' and screamin'

cos you know it's what you leave behind

you'll soon start missin'

 

and all the people you once counted on

now they're say it's all depending on

on how you act and how you treat yourself

well, that's not very well

 

so baby when I call to you

I want you to come

and lay it out for everyone

 

you nod in an acknowledgement

of your frequent mood swings

yeah well what good's an acknowledgement

it still don't change things

 

we tried all forms of encouragement

but it's still no better

you just can't seem to fake or force a smile

not even a little one

 

but baby when I call to you

I want you to come

and lay it out for everyone

 

oh exactly how it was

before any of this happened

and why you can't leave it behind

 

don't just sit there when I call to you

I told you to come and lay it out for

don't feel awkward

lay it out for everyone

 

don'tcha, don'tcha

don'tcha sit there when I call for you

cos I told you to come

and lay it out for

no don't feel, don't feel awkward

just lay it for everyone

for everybody
