Post Some Good Lyrics If You Feel Like It

[Foxing Peculiar]

Garage Sale Saturday. I need to pay
My heart's outstanding bills.
A cracked-up compass and a pocket watch,
Some plastic daffodils,
The cutlery and coffee cups I stole from all-night restaurants,
A sense of wonder only slightly used,
A year or two to haunt you in the dark.
For a phone call from far away
With a "Hi, how are you today?"
And a sign recovery comes
To the broken ones.

A wage-slave forty-hour work week weighs
A thousand kilograms.
So bend your knees comes with a free fake smile
For all your dumb demands.
The cordless razor that my father bought
When I turned 17,
A puke-green sofa and the outline to
a complicated dream of dignity.
For a laugh, too loud and too long.
For a place where awkward belongs,
And a sign recovery comes
to the broken ones.
To the broken ones.
To the broken ones.
For the broken ones.
Or Best Offer.

"Everything Must Go!"
The Weakerthans
Left and Leaving (2000)

[Atomsk Iscariot]

I hate that song but I love those lyrics.

This is how I feel about the Weakerthans in general, though.

[Kris K]

My favorite Common song.

Common - A Song for Assata (featuring Ceelo)

(common)
In the spirit of god.
In the spirit of the ancestors.
In the spirit of the black panthers.
In the spirit of assata shakur.
We make this movement towards freedom
For all those who have been oppressed, and all those in the struggle.
Yeah. yo, check it-

There were lights and sirens, gunshots firin
Cover your eyes as I describe a scene so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she laid in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against open flesh
No room to rest, pain consumed each breath
Shot twice wit her hands up
Police questioned but shot before she answered
One panther lost his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the police were as they kicked and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, tryna hold on
To life. she thought shed live with no arm
Thats what it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her room to room-she could tell by the light
Handcuffed tight to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put guns to her head, every word she got hit
who shot the trooper? they asked her
Put mace in her eyes, threatened to blast her
Her mind raced till things got still
Opened her eyes, realized shes next to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her: thats where she would be next
Hurt mixed wit anger-survival was a reflex
They lied and denied visits from her lawyer
But she was buildin as they tried to destroy her
If it wasnt for this german nurse they woulda served her worse
I read this sisters story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if that woulda been me?
All this shit so we could be free, so dig it, yall.

(cee-lo vocals)
Im thinkin of assata, yes.
Listen to my love, assata, yes.
Your power and pride is beautiful.
May God bless your soul.

(common)
It seemed like the middle of the night when the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies cracklin, I see em when they takin her
Though she kinda knew,
What made the ride peaceful was the trees and the sky was blue
Arrived to middlesex prison about six inna morning
Uneasy as they pushed her to the second floor in
A cell, one cot, no window, facing hell.
Put in the basement of a prison wit all males
And the smell of misery, seatless toilets and centipedes
Shed exercise, (paint? ,) and begin to read
Two years inna hole. her soul grew weak
Away from people so long she forgot how to speak
She discovered frredom is a unspoken sound
And a wall is a wall and can be broken down
Found peace in the panthers she went on trial with
One of the brothers she had a child with
The foulness they would feed her, hopin shes lose her seed
Held tight, knowing the fight would live through this seed
In need of a doctor, from her stomach shes bleed
Out of this situation a girl was conceived
Separated from her, left to mother the revolution
And lactated to attack hate
Cause federal and state was built for a black fate
Her emptiness was filled with beatings and court dates
They fabricated cases, hoping one would stick
And said she robbed places that didnt exist
In the midst of threats on her life and being caged with aryan whites
Through dark halls of hate she carried the light
I wonder what would happen if that woulda been me?
All of this shit so we could be free.
Yeah, I often wonder what would happen if that woulda been me?
All of this shit so we could be free, so dig it, people-

(cee-lo)
Im thinkin of assata, yeah.
Listen to my love, assata, yeah.
Your power and pride, so beautiful...
May God bless your soul.
Oooh.

(common)
Yo
From north carolina her grandmother would bring
News that she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant what they needed them to mean
What made them real was the action in between
She dreamt that assata was free in they old house in queens
The fact that they always came true was the thing
Assata had been convicted of a murder she couldna done
Medical evidence shown she couldna shot the gun
Its time for her to see the sun from the other side
Time for her daughter to be by her mothers side
Time for this beautiful woman to become soft again
Time for her to breathe, and not be told how or when
She untangled the chains and escaped the pain
How she broke out of prison I could never explain
And even to this day they try to get to her
But shes free with political asylum in cuba.

(cee-lo vocals)
Im thinkin of assata, yeah.
Listen to my love, assata, yeah.
Were molded from the same mud, assata.
We share the same blood, assata, yeah.
Your power and pride, so beautiful...
May God bless your soul.
Your power and pride, so beautiful...
May God bless your soul.
Oooh.

[Dovecoat]

If I could have grown
All upon my own
If I could have grown I grew
If I could have grew I do

If I had throne
You could call if home
If I cry my tears are yours
To open any frozen doors

Hey, let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it, do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it, do it
Hey let's do it like we're frie-ie-iends

Diamond Meadows, by T. Rex

And...

Sometimes I'm wandering under prehistoric skies
I feel it's all beginning right before my eyes
Must go back, re-examine my love
Here she comes with her penetrated stare
I don't know when, but I wish I knew where
Quick calculations, there's not nearly enough

Because we're lost, because we're lost
Cold desert stars, feel them sparkle and frost
They are so lost

Follow her down to worship some god
Who never speaks to me, I wonder if that's odd
Then he says you're never listening
The pursuit of adulation is your butter and your bread
It's an exquisite corpse and its lips are red
And its teeth are glistening

But you are lost, but you are lost
Now hang up 'cause the lines are all crossed
You are so lost

If you're alone and you're feeling blue,
Everyone in Persia probably feels like that too
I just hope they don't believe like you do
And here she comes with her unforgiving web
Almost forever I've been drinking these dregs
It must be time to change our brew, cruel, view

Before we're lost, before we're lost
Look at the map, add up the cost
Before we're lost

Lost, by The Church
(best part in bold)

[SoonIWillDisa?pear]

I know of a sad sad place
Where a sick man dreams
Of dieing while smiling
All is well, all is fine, all is clean

In a world where we rely on substance
To decide exactly who we are
Why would I expect what’s right
These fucks live like shooting stars

They swallow themselves even though they hate the taste
Nothing ever matters, for in this time and place
Emotions are artificial & awareness is too thin to see
I myself, was this way too, but somehow now I’m free

Time will bring change, for after happiness inclines
I’ll plummet so much lower than every other time
I just can’t wait to be fake again. The way I was before
It never really helped my mind, just made it easy to ignore

[SoonIWillDisa?pear]

oh, shit. Those aren't good lyrics.

[eme]

I've been crazy over this song lately:

Thrice - The Whaler

My lover's arms,
they beg me to stay.
But I know the storms,
they will sweep me away.

My daughter's eyes,
they are two tiny seas,
whose water will rise
and then run down her cheeks.

"Father where do you go,
so far out upon the sea,
and when are you coming home to me?"
"Darling why do you leave,
as the north wind begins to blow?
Will you be coming home to me?"

The boat and the blade,
they are all that I know;
the sea calls my name,
and so I must go.
And while they still sleep,
I slip out the door;
but how can I leave,
with my anchors ashore?

"Father where do you go?
It's farther than I can see,
and when are you coming home to me?"
"Darling why do you leave,
as the north wind begins to blow?
Will you be coming home to me?"

[Kinbote]

She's walking down the street
Me, I'm just invisible
And who or where she walks with makes no difference to me
The people that she meets
She turns them into sideshows
They're just here for their amusement
That's not what I want to be
But I'm insanely jealous of you
Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you
The night is black and thick
I wander past your window
And I catch a cigarette thrown from a jewel encrusted hand
It comes on pretty quick
Exactly like a crocodille
In search of a mirage across the undulating sand
But I'm insanely jealous of you
Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you
I don't know why the people want to meet
When all they know is that they'll breed like rabbits in the end
Cause ordinary people on the street
They never know
But if they can't be rabbits they'll be friends
And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you see
And I'm insanely jealous of the people that aren't me
And I'm insanely jealous of you
Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you
I just can't let it out
This feeling of insanity
Is thicker than a barge upon a shattered heap of coal
I know what it's about
Like crying from a nightmare
And the one who lies beside you cannot hear to save a soul
But I'm insanely jealous of the people that you know
And I'm insanely jealous of the places that you go
And I'm insanely jealous of you
Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you
The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong
They call it love
And the damage that we do it just goes on and on and on
Not long enough
Paint is cracked and dry
The name is now illegible
And everything is lost upon the cracked and misted hull
Beneath a yellow sky
The lovers trip beside a ship
But all I hear when they embrace is just the kiss of skulls
But I'm insanely jealous of the people that you see
And I'm insanely jealous of the people that aren't me
And I'm insanely jealous of the places that you go
And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you know
And I'm insanely jealous of the hairs upon your back
And I'm insanely jealous of the spiders in your path
And I'm insanely jealous of the stains upon your feet
And I'm insanely jealous of the stuff inside your feet
And I'm insanely jealous of the things upon your bed
And I'm insanely jealous of the jerk that's in your head
And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you love
And I'm insanely jealous of the fingers in your glove
And I'm insanely jealous of you
Insanely jealous of you
Insanely jealous of you
Insanely jealous of you

Want to buy some illusions
Slightly used, second-hand?
They were lovely illusions,
Reaching high, built on sand
They had a touch of paradise,
A spell you can't explain,
For in this crazy paradise
You are in love with pain

Want to buy some illusions
Slightly used, just like new?
Such romantic illusions,
And they're all about you
I'll sell them all for a penny,
They make pretty souvenirs
Take my lovely illusions,
Some for laughs, some for tears

Illusions, written by Friedrich Hollaender (best sung by Marlene Dietrich)

[Dovecoat]

I :heart: this thread, btw

She is there, she is dead
She is yours, she is theirs
She is dead, she is theirs
She is his, she is love
Well I try to tell her I want to believe
Everything that she's been saying to me
Well, the Pop Heiress comes
And she tries to explain
It's all like the love
When you find it's the same
She is dead, she is there
She is his, she is theirs
She is love, she is here
She is his, she is dead
Well, how can I tell her when I'm all alone?
There's nobody here and she's leaving for home
Well, the Pop Heiress pleads
You've got to believe
It is no different for you
Than for me
She is dead, she is there
She is yours, she is theirs
She is love, she is dead
She is his, she is theirs
Don't take it all back when you know that it's gone
Don't write it all down when it doesn't belong
She is love, she is dead
She is there, she is theirs
She is dead, she is there
She is yours, she is theirs
And Pop Heiress dies tonight!

Pop Heiress Dies, by Chainsaw Kittens

[Atomsk Iscariot]

Red House Painters - Medicine Bottle

Giving into love
And sharing my time
Letting someone into my misery

I told it all step by step
How I landed on the island
And how I swam across the sea
And it crosses my mind
That I may wake to a knife in me

No more breath in my hair
Or ladies' underwear
Tossed up over the alarm clock
Blood dripping from the bed
To a neatly written poem
A heartfelt last line reading:

"There is no more mystery
Is it going to happen, my love?"

It's all in my head, she said
Morning after nightmare
"You're building a wall," she said
"Higher than the both of us
So try living life
Instead of hiding in the bedroom
Show me a smile
And I'll promise not to leave you"

It happened under a rainy cloud
Passing through the dark south
We went into a big house
And slept in a small bed
I didn't know you then
As well as you of me
We talked of our sad lives
And we went off separately

And we went off separately
I found your overseas souvenirs
Holiday greeting cards
And some long forgot high school fears

"It's all in my head," I said
Banging a piano
I've not been so alone, I thought
Since kicking in the womb
I drank so much tea
I wrote my letters in Kanji
Around the block I walked and walked
Pretending you were with me

Not wanting to die out here
Without you

The hurting never ends
Like birthdays and old friends
We forget that this flesh blood and bone is human
Trading phone lines for airlines
Unwilling to face
That love is found on the inside
Not the outside

And like a medicine bottle
In the cabinet I'll keep you
And like a medicine bottle
In my hand I will hold you

And swallow you slowly
As to last me a lifetime
Without holding too tight
I do not want to lose
The thrill that it gives me
To look out from my window
And scowl at the houses
From my world in the bedroom

"It's all in his head," she read
In her girlfriend's self-help book
"It's all his own making
A war with himself
Like two sides of a war
That separates two countries
He shuts out the world
And wants only to love you"

Not wanting to die out here
Without you

[Daysleeper]

Does she walk, does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My home-brew, home-room angel
Just pulled me to my feet

She was pure like snowflakes
No-one could ever stain
The memory of my angel
Could never cause me pain

The years go by I'm looking through a girly magazine
And there's my homegrown angel on the pages in between

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold (Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
(Angel is the centerfold)

Slip me a note under the desk
Loud and speaking about her dress
I was shy, she turned away
Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by

Those soft jersey sweaters too magical to touch
To see her in that langerie is really just too much

My blood runs cold
Yeah, my memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold (Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
Oh yeah! (Angel is the centerfold)

Nanana...

It's OK, I understand
This ain't no never never land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I see you when your clothes are on

Take your car, yes, we will
We'll take your car and drive
Take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been ripped, angels from my mind are stripped
Oh no I can't hide it, oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold (Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold
Oooh, my memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold!

Alright, alright
One, two, three, four!

Nanana...

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold, angel is the centerfold

My blood runs cold, oh yeah!
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold, angel is the centerfold!

perfect disguise -modest mouse

You've got the Perfect disguise and you're lookin o.k.
From the bottom of the best of the worst
Well what can I say.
Cuz you cocked your head to shoot me down, down and I
don't give a damn about you or this town no more.
No cuz I know the score
Need me to fall down so you can climb up some fool as
ladder well good luck. I hope.
I hope there's something better up there.
Cuz you cocked your head to shoot me down, down and I
don't give a damn about you or this town no more.
No cuz I know the score.
Well good luck believing every world that's said.
I hope you have enough space in your head.
I Don't know.
Broke my back.

[SoonIWillDisa?pear]

hit meh!

[Foxing Peculiar]

The echo to your yell,
The ripple to your dive,
The currents under your waves...
Electricity flows through me.
I send it out to you.
We were charged with the founding poles
Of a million years.
A million years, before us,
Trembled in their fears.
I never saw you,
Never heard you,
But I knew that you were there,
Everywhere.
I could feel you
All around me.

I know that I am just a grain of sand
Meeting water at the land,
But we could make our castles here
And sweep them all away.
I know that I am just a drop of water
Frozen into ice
On the stormy Earth
That gave us birth
Over and over, in cycles, lovely cycles.
I never saw you,
Never heard you,
But I knew that you were there,
Everywhere.
I could feel you
All around me.

[Foxing Peculiar]

And the light, it burns your skin
In a language you don't understand.
It's not that hard.
It is not that hard.
That's not all.
Voices small...
Heed them either way they call.

Two-step around the room,
Kneel down on white.

[Foxing Peculiar]

Streak the windows, smear the walls with coconut oil.
Fill a cast-iron kettle with water and magnolia blossom.
Let it boil. Let the water roll. Let the fire take its toll.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.

Dust off the idols, give them something to eat.
I think they're hungry.
I know I'm starving half to death.
I know you're waiting.
I know you've been waiting for a long, long time.
And I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.

Set the table, those three extra places:
One for me
One for your doubts
And one for God.

Let the incense burn in every room.
Feel the fullness of time in the empty tomb.
Feel the future kicking in your womb.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.

[Atomsk Iscariot]

in comes you, not the same person I knew
looking roughly the same
but something hungry getting restless in your brain

so there I go, not the same person that you used to know
peeking through the fisheye lens at you

and the coronet blows
where the oleander grows
and us two, not the same people that our old friends knew

and so down the street you head in the high summer heat
white long sleeved Oxford pushed up to just before your elbows

black pumps and a medium length black skirt
eating a path through the dark damp earth
I hope they've got plenty of money where you're going

and the coronet blows
where the oleander grows
and us two, not the same people that our old friends knew

[Daysleeper]

Its poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
She blinded me with science
And failed me in geometry

When she's dancing next to me
(Blinding me with science)
(Science)
Science
I can hear machinery
(Blinding me with science)
(Science)
Science

It's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And hit me with technology

When I'm dancing close to her
Science
I can smell the chemicals
(Blinding me with science)
(Science)
Science

It's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And hit me with technology

Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto
You're beautiful

I, I don't believe it
There she goes again
She's tidied up and I can't find anything
All my tubes and wires
And careful notes
And antiquated notions
But, it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm, but she blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with

:yes: One of my favourites

[SlingeroGuitaro]

In my home town
For anyone who sticks around
You're either lost or you're found
There's not much in between
In my home town
Everything's still black and white
It's a long, long way from wrong to right
From Sunday morning to Saturday night

Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
We follow the roads that lead us
To drugs or Jesus

My whole life
I've tried to run, I've tried to hide
From the stained glass windows in my mind
Refusing to let God's light shine
Down on me
Down on me

Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
There's not much space between us
Drugs or Jesus

Everybody wants acceptance
We all just want some proof
Everyone's just looking for the truth

Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
We follow the roads that lead us
To drugs or Jesus
To drugs or Jesus
Oh I need you Jesus
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah

[SlingeroGuitaro]

Well, up in the backwoods, down in the holler,
Ol' boys feelin' like a dog on a collar.
Keepin' that chain pulled tight.
Waitin' on saturday night.
Put on the smell good, put on Skynyrd,
Head into town like a NASCAR winner.
Cruisin' back and forth to the Tasty Freeze.
Everywhere you look all you see is,

Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick up trucks.
Big timin' in a small town.
Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
Black denim and chrome to the bone,
With a little home-grown.
A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.

Couple kids, sweet things, drivin' a fast bash.
Shoot 'em a coons' smile.
Hopin' that they smile back, "Hey, baby, what's your name?"
Burn a little rubber when the red lights change.
Here come the blue light, here come the bonnie.
Hot on the bill y'all, let's move the party.
Gotta go, but that's alright.
Do it all again next Friday night.

Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick-'em-up trucks.
Big timin' in a small town.
Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
Black denim and chrome to the bone,
With a little home-grown.
A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.

Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick-'em-up trucks.
Big timin' in a small town.
Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
Black denim and chrome to the bone,
With a little home-grown.
A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.

Hillbilly deluxe.
Hillbilly deluxe.
Hillbilly deluxe.

[Foxing Peculiar]

I dreamt you were leaving on a train
With old souvenirs by your side.
I watched ghosts of the evening slip away.
The past kissed the future goodbye.
All the times I should have stopped you
Seemed to drown me in the flood.
I still need you like some unforgiving drug.
Will you be there when I wake up?

And fear is a good thing when you're young.
It keeps passion and anger alive,
But don't allow strength to come undone
Or fashion your faith to subside.
For each story about failure
Is a story about love.
Every page turns on mere consequence and luck.
Will you be there when I wake up?

Cast aside all the paintings and pictures
Of everything you used to be.
Criticize all the fact and the fiction
That's bringing you misery.

Hey, I hope you're listening Emily.
The fire's burned out, I confess.
But sometimes it's better to be free,
So I wish you a sweet happiness.
For I'm weary of these feelings
That I only give in song.
Now I realize all we used to have is gone.
I won't see you when I wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.

[Foxing Peculiar]

One of few songs of hers I REALLY like:

I'll sing you a song that starts out descriptive
And locates a time and a place
Like a dinner table where a whole family
Is just sitting down to say grace
An old, old song that moves into action
Taking its sweet, sweet time
And waits until they all say "Amen"
Again and again in rhyme
It's the story of a father and a mother
Who battle each other over nothing
With a couple of kids trying to figure
Which way the plot's spinning
Who's winning and who is bluffing
It's a story as common as a penny, son
It ain't really worth anything to anyone
It ain't really worth anything to anyone

Poor little, sore little song that just aches
Like a muscle each time that it moves
Sad little song that you play and you play
And you play and you play 'til you lose
While outside history's writing a recipe book
For every earthly pain
This song is inside fingerpainting dark swirls
Again and again and they all look the same
Cos what if you come home from school one day
And you find your whole family's a war
And there's this ominous silence just waiting to be broken
And there's secret places for hiding underneath the floorboards
And everyone seems to be bracing
For the subharmonic thunder of the next bomb
And everyone seems to be waiting for the cops to bust in
With their guns drawn in the bleak light of dawn
It's a story as common as a penny son
I don't think it's worth anything to anyone
I don't think it's worth anything to anyone
I don't think it's worth anything to anyone
I don't think it's worth anything to anyone...

Midnight wish
Blow me a kiss
I'll blow one to you
Make like this
Try to pretend it's true

Show me all your favorite things
Show you all mine too
Make a wish
I'll give it all to you

Welcome to your favorite promises
Welcome to mine too
Caught like this
I'll turn it in with you

Fall apart my bleeding heart
Nothing left to do
Once in love
I'll be the death of you

[Dovecoat]

The best line ever written in bold...

She says it's OK
The rent just went on entertainment
But who's gonna say
It's just not my day
She's got enough stuff to get real tough
Well, she's the girl who plays
The holiday is over, the honeymoon is over
The garden's overgrown
The trust is rusted, the link's been busted
The seeds are sown
The sounds of my breath, what do you expect
Echo in the hall
The ghost of the picture still haunts the master
Bedroom mirrored wall

I suppose you'd say she made a fool of me
Oh, but she has authority

It used to be fine
Days full of music, nights full of music
Music all the time
Invisible light
I try my best but I transgressed
It used to be fine
The chances are used up, the finances used up
The energy is low
Letters are returned, lovers are spurned
Delivered quite a blow
The signs of disaster, I wouldn't put it past her
The dagger's in the dark
The stale perfume in her old room
Heart of a shark

I suppose you'd say she made a slave of me
Oh, but she has authority

I guess that that's all
The curtain comes down and the circus leaves town
The leaves begin to fall
I guess that that's it
The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning
And all the rest is just bullshit
The shadow's getting longer, the widow's gettin' younger
The cup doth overflow
The luxury of pity, babe this wasn't pretty
On with the show
Life is a tangle, a one night triangle
Some tangle of life limbs
You sleep like a baby precious as a ruby
Goodbye everything

I suppose you'd say she made a fool of me
Oh, but she had authority

Authority, by The Church

And...

Hey Jack I better shake it off. Put her out of my head
Thinking I balled just another young girl last night
Oh brother! I left a woman in that morning bed
Been on that trip so many times
Good God! Was it really yesterday?

I've tried so many, many, many, many, many, many ways
I've lied and taken off into the day
Leaving another girl to weep over the breakfast tray
Loved her before I knew her name, hit me Jack, 'cos I'm
Gonna love her way

Come back, my babe
Be holy again, I gave her
Ooh, maybe, maybe
Gotta give her, ooh baby, baby
That kind of love
Can only destroy, I gave her
Ooh maybe, maybe
Get it down if I'm gonna be her baby, 'cos
Ooh baby
It's gonna be me

There was no rein to check me
When all of those little things walked on by
Oh! But I couldn't really stammer out a word
When that angel stuck in my mind
Oooooh, looking for love won't hold me back
No! I'm gonna love her way

Come back, my babe
Be holy again, I gave her
Ooh, maybe, maybe
Gotta give her, ooh baby, baby
That kind of love
Can only destroy, I gave her
Ooh maybe, maybe
Get it down if I'm gonna be her baby, 'cos
Ooh baby
It's gonna be me

Just playing that latest record
Waiting for the telephone to ring
Wiped out and bitter with a bag clutched in her hand
All the cars sound like they're pulling in the drive
Hmmm, no, no, no

I see her now
A little tear running down her cheek
Lost, let down
People looking for me
I want to race down her street
And knock hard, hard, hard on the door
Until she breaks down into my arms like a
Treasured toy and I feel her pain
I'll be so strong, again and again

Come back my baby
I'm hold you again, I'll take you
Ooh, baby, baby, baby
We're gonna have, ooh baby, baby
My kind of love
Can only bring you joy, I'm gonna
Yeah, baby
Ooh baby
Yeah, I'll give you baby, baby
'Cos it's gonna be me

It's Gonna Be Me, by David Bowie

[SoloArtist]

surely there is
no substitute
for company
my mom's ripping
off her hands
one flake at a time
all her children left the house
and left her all alone
but just like she'd tell me
things get better
just wait
and you'll see

take one day at a time
everything else you can leave behind
only one thing at a time
anything more really hurts your mind
i don't want for us to
take pills
anymore
not that it's bad
i don't want for us to take pills
because we're stronger
and we don't need them

[Drevpile]

Things Have Changed - Dylan

A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

This place ain't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove

Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through

I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand

Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street

I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake

[mc_festus]

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of edu---cation
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
everything looks WORSE in black and white

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

This is for Kris and any other Jay-Z fans...this is a bad ass song from his new album...

Jay-Z & Lil' Wayne - Hello Brooklyn 2.0

[Intro:]
Helloooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Brooklynnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
Hello Brooklyn, how you doin?
Where you goin? And can I come to?
And If I can, I'm a be your man
You could be my lady, and have my baby
And drive my cars, and drive me crazy
Wherever you goin baby girl just take me
Cause I'm so taken, if you taken
I'm just sayin baby I'm just sayin

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
Like a mama you birth me, Brooklyn you nursed me
Schooled me with hard knocks, better than Berkeley
They said you murked me, by the time I was twenty one
That shit disturbed me, but you never hurt me
Hello Brooklyn, if we had a daughter
Guess what I'm a call her, Brooklyn Carter
When I left you for Virginia, it didn't offend ya
Cause you know I only stepped out to get dinner
And I'm eatin, so much i bought extra
So much so the dinner now turnin to breakfast
I only roll Lexus, to hug your road
I love your corners, I'm half your soul

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
Hello Brooklyn, how you doin?
Where you goin? And can I come to?
And If I can, I'm a be your man
You could be my lady, and have my baby
And drive my cars, and drive me crazy
Wherever you goin baby girl just take me
Cause I'm so taken, if you taken
I'm just sayin baby I'm just sayin

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne] (Jay-Z)
Hello Brooklyn, what's your story?
She said she eatin' on the run but she ain't N.O.R.E.
She said she got a man but he ain't worried
But baby I'm a have to +Rob+ him like +Horry+
She said she love B.I.G. and she like 2Pac
And when I said Jay-Z she said it's The ROC
And I'm a leave it like this, like this like that
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?
Have you seen her?
And when she tell you somethin you better believe her
She told me she like my New Orleans demeanor
And so I said goodbye Katrina, and hello Brooklyn
But baby you are, the sweetest sight eyes could see
I said hello Brooklyn, but baby I hope you never say goodbye to me
I said hello Brooklyn, but but baby you are so damn fine to me
And I remember the time (Time) place (Place) and the weather
On the day you said hi to me and let's say hello Brooklyn

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Brooklyn we crazy, look how you made me
Razor blades in my mouth walkin 'round behavin
Or demented black hoodies and Timberlanded
Always schemin you see the green on that niggas pendant
Hello Brooklyn, you bad influence look what you had me doin
But I ain't mad at you, look at my attitude
It says my life too real, check out my ice grill
Baby I'm cold as ice, like I'm from Brownsville
But my Bed's in the Stuy so while I Flatten your Bush
Till we smoke a C.I. what up to the boy B.I.
You know I handle B.I. I dont half step on a Kane
Ask the dreads 'bout I, how you gwaan so?
She like it hardcore, So I grind slow
Iller than Albee Square Mall back in the 9-0
My fine hoe we got some victims to catch
So in a couple years baby I'm a bring you some Nets

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
Hello Brooklyn, how you doin?
Where you goin? And can I come to?
And If I can, I'm a be your man
You could be my lady, and have my baby
And drive my cars, and drive me crazy
Wherever you goin baby girl just take me
Cause I'm so taken, if you taken
I'm just sayin baby I'm just sayin

[Outro: Lil Wayne]
And hello Brooklyn, but but baby you are, the sweetest thing eyes could see
Hello Brooklyn, baby I hope you never say goodbye to me
I said hello Brooklyn, but baby you are, so damn fine to me
But I remember the time, place, and the weather on the day you said goodbye to me
