Sold into slavery down in New Orleans
Goddess of the bayou light
Black dog's head on the killing bed
Severed and left to bleed
There on fire
In the corner of the world
There in misery
There on fire
In the corner of the world
Left for God to see

Do you want to take a life
Do you want to cross that line
'Cause it's a long way back from Hell
And you don't want to go with me

Yea, poison father of the human race
God Of the tainted blood
Malevolence sneaking up the spine of the world
Ready for the bastard son
There on fire
In the veins of man
There in misery
There on fire
In the veins of man
Left for God to see

Do you want to take a life
Do you want to cross that line
'Cause it's a long way back from Hell
And you don't want to go with me

Do you want to take a life
Do you want to take a life, yea
Do you want to cross that line, oh
Do you want to cross that line
Wanna cross that line

Sold into slavery down in New Orleans
Goddess of the bayou light
Black dog's head on the killing bed
Severed And left to bleed
There on fire
In the corner of the world
There in misery
Lucifer's face
In the mirror when you look
Left for God to see

Do you want to take a life
Do you want to cross that line
'Cause it's a long way back from Hell
And you don't want to go with me

And it's a long way back from Hell
And you don't want to go


OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

[Niiru]

Who sings this song?!?! I DON'T KNOE!!!


She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You think you lost your love,
When I saw her yesterday.
It’s you she’s thinking of
And she told me what to say.
She says she loves you
And you know that can’t be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. ooh!

She said you were to know
That she almost lost her mind.
And now she says she knows
You’re not the hurting kind.
She says she loves you
And you know that can’t be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. ooh!

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a love like that
You know you should be glad.

And now it’s up to you,
I think it’s only fair,
If I should hurt you, too,
Apologize to her
Because she loves you
And you know that can’t be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. ooh!

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a love like that
You know you should be glad.

[Quoc]

er, the smiths paraphrased? um, some other band, next...

this game's boring.

[Niiru]

[talking]
The world today seems absolutely crackers,
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high.
There's fools and idiots sitting on the trigger.
It's depressing and it's senseless, and that's why...

[singing]
I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're always friendly, and they're ready to please.
I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
There's nine hundred million of them in the world today.
You'd better learn to like them; that's what I say.
I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They come from a long way overseas,
But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please.
I like Chinese food.
The waiters never are rude.
Think of the many things they've done to impress.
There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching, and Chess.
I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.
I like Chinese thought,
The wisdom that Confucious taught.
If Darwin is anything to shout about,
The chinese will survive us all without any doubt.
So, I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please.
All together.
[verse in Chinese]
Wo ai zhongguo ren (I like Chinese)
Wo ai zhongguo ren (I like Chinese)
Wo ai zhongguo ren (I like Chinese)
Ni hao ma, ni hao ma, ni hao ma, zaijien!
(How are you, how are you, how are you, goodbye!)
I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
Their food is guaranteed to please,
A fourteen, a seven, a nine, and lychees.
I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.
I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees...

[kupo]

Looking out the door i see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know

When i'm broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

So i'll wait for you... and i'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn

Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Well maybe i'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh... lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

Well I feel too young to hold on
And i'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage i've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love well i'm waiting for you

Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

[oliver purple]

he held his breath to hold your hand
to walk the stairsteps in pairs
climbing up a slippery slope

elliott covers the beatles' "for no one" (http://www.elliottsmith.com/covers/fornoone.mp3)

You Find That All Her Words Of Kindness Linger On,
But She No Longer Needs You

http://www.viner.biz/stockpile-images/measured-response.jpg

and in her eyes, you see nothing
no sign of love behind the tears
cried for no one
a love that should have lasted years

you want her, you need her
and yet you don't believe her when she says
her love is dead
you think she needs you

jonathan weiner - "measured response" (http://www.viner.biz/)

[oh_well_okay]

what's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?

[trucker's atlas]

there's a saltwater film on the jar of your ashes
i threw them to sea, but a gust blew them backwards
and the sting in my eyes
that you then inflicted
was par for the course, just as when you were living

[Jimmybobbin]

You're so beautiful to look at when you cry
Freeze, don't move
You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation
of the sequel to your life.

[simpsonopraphic]

In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection

..but before I go I got to ask you dear about that tan line on your ring finger

[statueofagirl]

You must leave now take what you need
You think will last
But whatever you wish to keep you better grab it fast

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out baby, the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now baby blue

The highway is for gamblers better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is fallin in over you- ooo
And it's all over now baby blue

Leave your stepping stones behind
There's something that calls for you
Forget the debt you left that will not follow you

Your lover who has just walked through the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet too is foldin' over you
And it's all over now baby blue

Well strike another match, yeah, go start a-new
Go start a-new
'Cause it's all over now baby blue
Hey, hey, yeah
It's all over, it's all over now baby blue
It's all over, it's all over now oh yeah
It's all over now, it's all over now baby blue

[statueofagirl]

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

Before you
:heart:

[heavymetalmouthagain]

I don't like the name tag between your toes.
I don't like the snot running out of your nose.
I don't like the stains on your pantyhose - just your cold stiff body when I hold you close.
I love rigor mortis when it just sets in.
I know where you're goin' I don't care where you've been.
A pillow in a coffin's just as good as a bed and baby how I love it when you fuck me dead.
Baby how I love it when you fuck me dead.

Every new girl's another three day affair.
I got to be gentle not to pull out your hair.
It really doesn't matter if she's gray haired and old.
It really doesn't matter if she's too young and cold.

Smiling in emergency a drag your O.K.
I'd rather make it with you when you're DOA.
Lying there stiff when it's time to play.
I can't wait till the undertaker goes away.
Hanging upside down when you're getting drained.
S&M pleasure on the wall when you're chained.
When you splatter love juices still remain and baby how I love you when you fuck me dead.
Baby I love it when you fuck me dead.

Baby, baby, I'll hold you close.
Quick, quick before you decompose.
Baby how I love it when you fuck me dead.
Baby how I love it when you fuck me dead.
Baby how I love it when you fuck.

[Ghostdog]

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
And would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so then let me know
If it's "no", well, I can go
I won't make you

and

cos everyone is a fucking pro
and they all got answers from trouble they've known
and they all got to say what you should and shouldn't do
though they don't have a clue

[help me inhale]

i have seen it all
i have seen the trees
i have seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
i've seen a man killed by his best friend
and lives that were over before they were spent

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.
There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.
Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be right back after a message
about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

[gaetano]

here's the lyric i can't get off my head.
it's in Italian and i had to translate it.
i did it badly but i tried...

"i fell in love with you
because i had time on my hands
by day i wanted someone to meet
by night i wanted something to dream about

i fell in love with you
because i couldn't be alone any longer
by day i wanted to talk about my dreams
by night i wanted to talk about love

and now that i have thousands of things to do
i feel my dreams vanishing
but i can't think about anything else but you

i fell in love with you
and now even i don't know what to do
by day i regret having met you
by night i come around looking for you"

breaks my heart every time i hear it.

[candylion]

i'm not sure if i have all of the lyrics right, but this is what it sounds like to me... this is my favorite song right now... it makes my heart so happy!! :heart:

farther on

it was a good time
good time to stop and watch the city breathe, doll
you know now we're lost and have nothing to lose

i remember simple things...
"how's a building get so tall?"
no one way to explain since we have not yet seen all!

the sights there are here to see
only then will we finally revel in...
the good times, good times
oh the good times shouldn't be this hard to find...

when i see the people standing there
shy, cerebral, and the lonely hare
disenchanted stoney-eyed,
bored to tears but dry inside
farther on they'll collide
initimate but still strangers
the dangers in each other's eyes

i remember simple
"how's a building get so tall?"
no one way to explain since we have not yet seen all..

the good times
oh the good times shouldn't be this hard to find

[joely]

What I say, I say only to you
Cause I love and I love only you ...

[joely]

I want to give you a dream
That no one has given you...

[meepmeep]

I felt so complete, married to heavenly bodies above,
And each night I look up at a bright honey moon

Cause it sure seemed built to last
Even after my honeymoon passed
I kept right on it man, like a ghost to the house it was haunting

[El Scorcho]

Snake in it
jack into the wall
TV amp on fire
blowin' in the hall
gun yr. sled
close yr. peeping toms
turbo organizer
crankin' on the knob

You got it
yeh ride the silver rocket
can't stop it
burnin hole in yr pocket

I burned a sonic youth mp3 disc before going skateboarding, after leaving I discovered that everything but Daydream Nation skips. I think I've heard silver rocket about 4 times this afternoon.

[Ghostdog]

agh, you made me listen to that song again :(

My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles
when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear
That hangs inside my soul forever

[statueofagirl]

i can't stand what you do
Sometimes I can't stand you
And it makes me think about me
That I'm involved with you
But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes


So... when you get out of the hospital
Let me back into your life
I can't stand what you do
But I'm in love with your eyes

[blunderful]

the moon is a lightbulb breaking
it'll go around with anyone
but it won't come down for anyone
and i won't come down for anyone

[joely]

and why you want to do it this way...

[gabria]

When I forget how to talk, I sing
Won't you please
Bring that flash to shine
And turn my eyes red
Unless they close
When you click
And my face gets sick
Stuck, like a question unposed

Just climb aboard
The tracks of a train's arm
In my fragile family tree
And watch me floating inches above
The people underneath

some of his work may be overrated but anyone who thinks Lover, You Should've Come Over is overrated needs to grow a new pair of ears :)
-------------------------------------------------

It's a motherfucker
Being here without you
Thinking 'bout the good times
Thinking 'bout the bad
And I won't ever be the same

It's a motherfucker
Getting through a Sunday
Talking to the walls
Just me again
But I won't ever be the same
I won't ever be the same

It's a motherfucker
How much I understand
The feeling that you need someone
To take you by the hand
And you won't ever be the same
You won't ever be the same

i miss my mom

what i've kept with me
and what i've thrown away
don't know where the hell i've ended up
on this glary random day

were the things i really cared about
just left along the way
for being too pent up and proud?

woke up way too late
feeling hung over and old
and the sun was shining bright
and i walked barefoot down the road
started thinking about my old man
it seems that all men
wanna get into a car and go
anywhere

here i stand
sad and free
and i can't cry
and i can't see
what i've done
no god
what have i done?

don't you know i'm numb, man
no, i can't feel a thing at all
'cause it's all smiles and business these days
and i'm indifferent to the loss
and i've faith that there's a soul somewhere
that's leading me around
i wonder if she knows
which way is down?

here i stand
sad and free...
...what have i done?

and i poured my heart out
i poured my heart out
it evaporated... see?

blind man on a canyon's edge
of a panoramic scene
or maybe i'm a kite
that's flying high and random
and dangling a string
or slumped over in a vacant room
head on a stranger's knee
i'm sure back home
they think i've lost my mind

here i stand...

...what have i done?...

I love that song so much; it says such a lot.

My lyrics of the day:

‘I think I’m in love’ she said
And vanished thru the glass
Whatever words in your head
Are banished to the past
Whisper in the looking glass
Flickered and diffused
Alone with your old guitar
The notepad sits unused…

spitting in a wishing well
gonna have a crash
i'm the last splash

[unsteel]

love is only for the lovely
and such a glamorous thing to waste
wait
i have to fix my makeup
wait

'cause no one likes to see a pretty
face
all sad and twisted up
'cause the beautiful were never meant to suffer
and i'm so beautiful

a peacock died to color my lips
so i died my hair in all their sweat
but now i'm haunted by these visions of me

and i don't wanna live forever
when the sky is full of little holes
exploding as they take my picture
let's explode

and i don't wanna know me better...

[floatingdown]

have you reached the point
where you must choose
between what you lost and
what you stand to lose

[floatingdown]

Leave it for a while; come back
Leave it for a while; come back
Leave it for a while; come back
What would make a smile on you?

Are you closing in? Come back
Are you still believing what you read?
Are you still believing every word?
(That is what I heard)
But before the day is done
You will notice one
Is caught inside a web somebody spun
In your imagination

Treaded water 'til I made you cry
But I loved you more
Than I will now recall at all
I was born to call that bluff
And isn't history
Just a bargain and a plea
That we'd all know what to break
And what to rise above
Do you think that love
Is a figment of your imagination?

Leave it for a while; come back
Leave it for a while; come back
Leave it for a while; come back
What would make a smile on you?

Are you closing in?
Are you now receiving what you need?
Go find your magician now
I'm an apparition
Under some suspicion
So I flew
And the sky's so blue
For a coup d'etat in your imagination...

and the sound of shooting guns
has been deafening

you know i saw it
i saw it happen at the factory
that's all that i saw

i'm trying to remember
the science of your mind
that ties all things together
but for me there's only one
and the sound of shooting guns
has been deafening

four eyes, four ears, four hands, two hearts tie us together. we sleep together. we breathe together in rhythm.


here we are but where are we going? it's times like these we wish we could know.


two words whispered 'you're beautiful'. oh... to me. there'll always be uncertainty. we just have to remember to lay back and breathe in rhythm.

here we are but where are we going? it's times like these we wish we could know.

whatever you do, wherever you go, i'll go with.

it's two o'clock on saturday. let's sleep the day away, we don't care, we feel great. if there's anything i've learned from the past, it's that i know nothing of the future. but, i know i wanna love a girl just like you. i just hope that you can be her.


here we are but where are we going? it's times like these we wish we could know.

hey statue,where does that lyric come from? beautiful.

since i'm on a jesus and mary chain roll,here's one of my favorite lines ever:

fuck with me and i'll fuck with you
isn't it that what we're supposed to do?
kick me down and i will kick you too
isn't it that what we're suppose to do?

"The AM radio is broken down and crying as on this hour drive we’re silent to ourselves. Let’s go back up to your house, take our clothes off, and just push and pull ourselves until we’re deep inside of sleep.

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now..

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die.

[rebekah]

as sung by ernie:

Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon

[Ghostdog]

I walked into this empty church I had no place else to go
When the sweetest voice I ever heard, whispered to my soul
I don't need to be forgiven for loving you so much
It's written in the scriptures
It's written there in blood
I even heard the angels declare it from above
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love

[unsteel]

howard, the strangest things
have happened lately when i
take a good swing at all
my dreams they
pivot and slip
i drop my fists and they're back
laughing, howard
my intention's become not to lose what i've won
ambition has given way
to desperation and i
i've lost the fight from my eyes...

well sometimes i punch myself hard as i can
yelling "nobody cares"
hoping someone will me tell me how
wrong i am...

now i'm told
"you're growing old"
the whole time you knew
a couple of years i'd be through
has boxing been good to you?

[sunflower]

and i tried so hard to resist
when you held me in your handsome fist
and reminded me of the night we kissed
and of why i should be leaving

:/

[unsteel]

my biggest fear
is if i let you go
you'll come and get me in my sleep

every single night i go to my favorite bar to get drunk while listening to cool music.
the bartender, a _huge_ Smiths fan, has put a little poster that reads the lyric you just mentioned on a wall at the entrance.
thank you for reminding me how grumpy and special my fave bartender is,Bex.

You're the colour,
you're the movement and the
spin. Could it stay with me
the whole day long. fail with
consequence, lose with eloquence
and smile. I'm not in this movie
I'm not in this song. never leave
me paralyzed, love. leave me
hypnotized, love.

[unsteel]

tied in a knot
but i'm not

calling a pot

every song is a comeback

wrap your hands around my throat while you kiss me now, and tighten up as you whisper goodnight.

[statueofagirl]

There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week
I keep on talkin' trash but I never say anything
And the talkin' leads to touchin'
and the touchin' leads to sex
and then there is no mystery left

And it's bad news
Baby I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you
but just bein' around you offers me another form of relief
When the lonliness leads to bad dreams
and the bad dreams lead me to callin' you
and I call you and say "C'MERE!"

And it's bad news
Baby I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

And it's bad news
Baby it's bad news
It's just bad news, bad news, bad news

'Cause you're just damage control
for a walking corpse like me - like you

Cause we'll all be
Portions for foxes
Yeah we'll all be
Portions for foxes

There's a pretty young thing in front of you
and she's real pretty and she's real into you
and then she's sleepin' inside of you
and the talkin' leads to touchin'
and the touchin' leads to sex
and then there is no mystery left

And it's bad news
I don't blame you
I do the same thing
I get lonely too

And you're bad news
My friends tell me to leave you
That you're bad news, bad news, bad news

You're bad news
Baby you're bad news
i don't care I like you
and you're bad news
I don't care I like you
I like you

[candylion]

you'll never know how much i really love you
you'll never know how much i really care...

listen, do you know want to know a secret?
do you promise not to tell?
woah, closer....



*sigh*
this song makes me so happy.... (but kinda sad at the same time...)

[joely]

....We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream....

[joely]

swervedriver - sciflyer

Let's go out and meet our friends They said they'd be here today They like to oscillate They say it's great They want to rollercoaster ride And drive into the depths of the dark night They love the bright lights And the lay-by's too And as the leaves blew up to the heavens They said they knew Just call me bucket rider Don't have a penny to my name And no coal to stoke my fire But it's a nice neck of the woods all the same This is where they came down To our planet, checkin' on our climate And our women too And as the leaves blew up They said they knew Below the apes above the angels (below the apes above the angels) Below the apes above the angels (below the apes above the angels) And I said "Yeah" But she only has two arms and one smile That's alright that's enough

[joely]

Wearing nothing is devine, naked is a state of mind
I take things off to clear my head to say the things I haven't said
I live inside the elements the the earth and sky are my best friends
Water is the evidence that washes me from end to end

With my naked eye I saw the falling rain
Coming down on me
With my naked eye I saw
If I said it all I could see

It's not a choice I tried to make
It's not a thought I couldn't take
Something told me it was time
To leave you yours and leave me mine
My vision started to be clear
I watched the sunlight coming near
I knew the day, I knew the night
I knew I could regain my sight
And it feels alright

Last night I came into your home to break some ice and throw some stones

I asked if we could be alone I had some troubles of my own
Knew I had to say goodbye to all the old things held inside
And if I let the moment fly
I knew they'd all be magnified
And it feels alright

Came around after dark
You are nothing but a lark
Though I snuck in like a narc
I knew I had to leave my mark
Wanted to be satisfied
I tried to be dignified
Wearing nothing is divine
Naked is a state of mind
And it feels alright

[joely]

Here we go, I'm hanging out in Camden
Drink with my girlfriends on a Saturday night

This guy says, "come and meet my girlfriend"
She's sitting in the corner looking rather uptight

So I say "hello" and I try to be nice
But I see he's feeling itchy
Trying to play us off each other,
"Girls, girls, please don't fight" (you get the picture)

Hey you, the muscles and the long hair
Telling me that women are superior to men
Most guys just don't appreciate this
You just convincing me you're better than them

So he talks for hours about his sensitive soul
And his favorite subject is sex
I don't think he even wanted it
But, Christ this guy's too much (I wanna tell him)

I'm as human as the next girl,
I like a bit of flattery
But I don't need your practised lines, your school of charm mentality so
Save your breath for someone else and credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you,
I know the score,
I've heard it all before

(Here comes the next one)
Blondie was with me for a summer
He flirted like a maniac but I wouldn't bite
I'm weak and he was so persistent
He only had to have me 'cause I put up a fight

Oh God, the boy had such an ego
He liked to talk about himself all day and all night
You think you're such a ladykiller
But you were nothing special 'til you turned out the light

When he's nice to me he's just nice to himself
And he's watching his reflection
I'm a five foot mirror for adoring himself
Here's seven years bad luck (I wanna tell him)

When you say you love me you're just flattering your vanity
But I don't need your practised lines your, your school of charm mentality so
Save your breath for someone else and credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you,
I know the score,
I've heard it all before

Ooh, you're such a ladykiller, always on a winner, thinking that you're in there
Oh boy, you're such a ladykiller, super sexy mister, call it what you will, oh
You think you're such a lady killer, I just bet you're still there, posing in the mirror
Hey girls, he's such a ladykiller, but we know where he's coming from and we know the score.

[joely]

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life -
cos it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus -
cos those rosey days are few
And - stop apologising for the things you've never done,
Cos time is short and life is cruel -
but it's up to us to change
This town called malice.
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come
fast and furious
In a town called malice.

Struggle after struggle - year after year
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice -
I'm almost stone cold dead
In a town called malice.

A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a town called malice.

The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere -
just going round and round
Playground kids and creaking swings -
lost laughter in the breeze
I could go on for hours and I probably will -
but I'd sooner put some joy back
In this town called malice.

[joely]

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I lost my girl and I lost my fun
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

well I live with snakes and lizards
and other things that go bump in the night
cos to me everyday is halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight

well any time, any place, anywhere that I go
all the people seem to stop and stare
they say 'why are you dressed like it's halloween?
you look so absurd, you look so obscene!'

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

well I let their teeny minds think
that they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
and I dress this way just to keep them at bay
cos halloween is everyday
it's everyday

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
I'm not the one that's so absurd

why hide it?
why fight it?
hurt feelings
best to stop feeling hurt
from denials, reprisals
it's the same it's the same in the whole wide world



life was tragic when you were 16 wasnt it;)

Learning lines in the rain
Special effects by Loonatik and Drinks
The graveyard scene
The golden years

She's in parties
It's in the can

Freeze frame screen kiss
Hot heads under silent wigs
Fall guys tumble on the cutting room floor
Look-a-likes fall on the cutting room door

She's in parties
It's in the can

Learning lines in the rain
Special effects by Loonatik and drinks
Freeze frame, screen kiss, hot heads, lights and power
It's patently obvious

She's in parties
It's in the can

Hot lines under a rain of drum
Cigarette props in action
Dialogue dub, now heres the rub
She's acting her reaction

She's in parties
It's in the can

[gaetano]

where do you think that i will find
this party girl who was so kind
raven hair and skin so fair
sadness never visits there

so go
with me
inside
believe
you have
so much
to give

[unsteel]

and it makes no difference to me
how they cried all over overseas
and it's hot in the poor places tonight
i'm not going outside

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

Ill send an sos to the world
Ill send an sos to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart

Ill send an sos to the world
Ill send an sos to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

Walked out this morning
Don’t believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I’m not alone at being alone
A hundred billion casatways
Looking for a home

Ill send an sos to the world
Ill send an sos to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

Sending out an sos

I wake up
And the day feels
Broken
I tilt my head
I'm trying to get an angle
'Cause the evening
I've always longed for
It could still happen

How do I master
The perfect day
Six glasses of water
Seven phonecalls


If you leave it alone
It might just happen
Anyway

It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Well it never really was
It's not up to you

If you wake up
And the day feels
Ah broken
Just lean into the crack
(Just lean into the crack)
And it will tremble
Ever so nicely
Notice
How it sparkles
Down there


I can decide
What I give
But it's not up to me
What I get given
Unthinkable surprises
About to happen
But what they are


It's not up to you
Well it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh, me, share
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
Oh, it never really was
It's not up to you
Well, it never really was
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you

There's too much
Clinging
To peak
There's too much
Pressure

Pick up the pieces and we’ll throw them away
Throw them away and replace them
Bring on the blues now, and we’ll chase them away
Chase them away, celebration

All that I want is for you to be there when I call
And after all I know you will be there
You’ll be there after all

Bring on the band now, set them playing away
And if they stay, well then embrace them
Bring on the people, we can dance and we’ll play
Let’s dance the night away, celebration

All that I want is for you to be here when I fall
And after all I know you will be here
You’ll be here after all

There’s only one thing it can be
There’s only one thing it can be
There’s only one thing it can be
There’s only one thing it can be

The body like soft serve, dripping down in the June sun,
I tried to shoot a thought, but the thought sunk.
Nothing to do but scratch words in the dirt and
Watch the water roll down.
Phantom kisses buzzing like the insects.
Beads of sweat dripping down on the rent check.
My Candyland melted down to syrup while I
Watched the water roll down.
And here comes the lust in phaze,
but you're down in Marietta.
So sweet my mouth was seared,
But the words you mouthed were sweeter.
My Sister,
Your words can be held against you in a court of law.
My Sister, You owe no allegiance to the facts.
And you're talking like the saint on the site of the accident.
Talking like the clause in the lease about the late rent.
Ringing like the random call patched to the payphone.
Talking like the water rolls down.
Talking like the saint on the site of the accident.
Talking like the botched shot, attempt on the President.
Ringing like the change in the legless man's Dixie Cup.
Talking like the water rolls down.
Day Undone,
Day Undone,
Day Undone,
Watch the water roll down.

It glittered and it gleamed
for the arriving beauty queen
a ring and a car
now you're the prettiest by far
No party she'd not attend
no invitation she wouldn't send
transfixed by the inner sound
of your promise to be found
"Nothing or no-one will ever
make me let you down"
Kiss them for me--I may be delayed
Kiss them for me--if I am delayed
It's divine, oh it's serene
in the fountains pink champagne
someone carving their devotion
in the heart shaped pool of fame
"Nothing or no-one will ever
make me let you down"
Kiss them for me--I may be delayed
Kiss them for me--I may find myself delayed
On the road to New Orleans
a spray of stars hit the screen
as the 10th impact shimmered
the forbidden candles beamed
Kiss them for me--I may be delayed
Kiss them for me--I may find myself delayed
Kiss them for me--kiss them for me
Kiss them for me--I may find myself delayed

You might've been hurt babe
That ain't no lie
But you seem to mark up and go, whoa
I remember you told me
That it made you believe in no man, no cry
Maybe that's right

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you
And you don't want lose it again
But I'm not like them
Baby when you finally
Get to love somebody
Guess what?
It's gonna be me

You got no choice babe but to move on
And you know there ain't no time to waste
The future's too bright to see
But in the end you know it's gonna be me
And you can't deny
So just tell me why

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you
And you don't want lose it again
But I'm not like them
Baby when you finally
Get to love somebody
Guess what?
It's gonna be me

(It's gonna be me)
Ooh yeah
There comes a day
When I'll be the one you see
It's gonna be me

All that I do
Is not enough for you
I don't wanna lose it
But I'm not like that
When finally you get to love
Guess what?

Every little thing I do

lookin for the fight of her life
in the real time world no one sees her at all
they all think she's crazy...

"Now that you're here
I got somethin' to say baby
I think that you should know" kinda hot

[joely]

"We gon' set it out
We gon' work it out
Baby can you handle"

[gaetano]

I’m lost in the see-through
Pane always needs a bath
Between a want and a need to

Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path

My country was of thee
Now why’d you have to leave
How’d this come to have to pass
Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path

Mark my path, mark my path down
Mark my path, mark my path down

[unsteel]

i said that i would return
when the robin makes his nest
but i ain't never comin' back...

[statueofagirl]

shes a very kinky girl...
the kind you dont take home to mu-thaaaaa...
:cry:

[unsteel]

you breathing into my mouth
i'll take it
i'll take it for you...

out of time
when you still got
so much to say...

you said
there's a special place
and it's scaring
the shit out of me...

well i wish i
had given you more time
to say thank you
my beautiful friend

but sometimes you gotta send it away
to bring it
to bring it back again

you'll always
have open eyes
you'll always
have a special place...

oh
what a way to go
i know that you're smiling...

:heart:
:(

[Brilliant Sun]

when the wind blows
and there's a chill in the air
I hope that someone is taking care of you

I'm alright, yeah I'm really o.k.
just so you know,
I'm always there for you...

oh my god,what a lyric! what is that,unsteel? great!
in my mind it fits completely the passing of Elliott,don't know why...

[gaetano]

my feelings always have been something
i couldn't hide
i can't confide
don't know what's going on inside

so every night i tell myself i am the cosmos
i am the wind
but that don't get you back again

i'd really like to see you again
i really wanna see you again
i never wanna see you again
i really wanna see you again

hey, thanks! :)
it's from PJ Harvey's song "Memphis", which she wrote in tribute to Jeff Buckley...
for some reason i got it in my head just a minute ago, and it also felt to me like it fit Elliott's situation, in some way...
glad i wasn't the only one.

Are you still believing every word?
(That is what I heard)
But before the day is done
You will notice one
Is caught inside a web somebody spun
In your imagination

Treaded water 'til I made you cry
But I loved you more
Than I will now recall at all
I was born to call that bluff
And isn't history
Just a bargain and a plea
That we'd all know what to break
And what to rise above
Do you think that love
Is a figment of your imagination?

Leave it for a while; come back
Leave it for a while; come back
Leave it for a while; come back
What would make a smile on you?

Are you closing in?
Are you now receiving what you need?
Go find your magician now
I'm an apparition
Under some suspicion
So I flew
And the sky's so blue
For a coup d'etat in your imagination... :D

Oh man,
look what the cat drug in
It's got the dress, tho the color's gone
that I gave my one true love on
Oh man, look what the wind blew home
Never had this much stimulation
since her low down elevation, but
Oh, don't look in those eyes
bluer than blue
her rule's on the rise
and if I wear apathy's crown
don't call me higness
it's a long way down

Oh, what terrible things she shows
I'm overwhelmed by rumors this high
and overcome by lows
Oh, what use is it to pretend
that I have the strength for this anymore
This is all in the world that she lives for but...
Oh, don't look in those eyes
bluer than blue
her rule's on the rise
and if I wear apathy's crown
don't call me highness
('cause) it's a long way down

Now I would suppose
that I'm not the only one
and one never knows...
but I got a feeling she's been
sleeping with the whole wide world

Oh, don't look in those eyes
bluer than blue
her rule's on the rise
and if I wear apathy's crown
don't call me highness
it's a long way down

brilliant f'n song.

[joely]

We were running everywhere with dirty feet and messy hair
racing through the Commons and I thought I'd let you win.
Turned your head and laughed at me, made a "V" for "vicotry.
Maybe it's a peace sign for the piece of me I left behind in you.

Yesterday I thought of you and all the things we used to do.
Got out your old poems and I read them out loud.
Maybe I could walk you home or I could call you on the phone
but every time I think of you, I melt to nothing.

[Paul Newman]

Baby I`ve got metal knees ooh.
Lady I`m beggin` of you please
Baby you think you`re a champ but
Girl you ain`t nothin` but a raw ramp.
Lady, your lips are the most
Baby, your mouth is like a ghost
Lady, you think you`re a champ but
Girl you ain`t nothin` but a raw ramp.
Woman, I love your chests ooh,
Baby, I`m crazy `bout your breasts
Woman, you think you`re a champ but
Girl you ain`t nothin` but a raw ramp
Baby I`ve got metal knees ooh.
Lady I`m beggin` of you please
Baby you think you`re a champ but
Girl you ain`t nothin` but a raw ramp.
Baby, I love your chests ooh,
Lady, I`m crazy `bout your breasts
Woman, you think you`re a champ but
Girl you ain`t nothin` but a raw ramp
You ain`t nothin` but a raw ramp......
Standin` on a corner by my old high school,
I let this female call me a fool
I got on my knees and begged to the sun
And I knew that my manhood had begun
Boogie on, electric boogie, boogie on
Embrace your brother, dance in the mud
Like a Palamino stud
Come along hold my hand.

What is it I must do to pay for all my crimes?
What is it I must do?

just like a buzzin fly
i come into your life
now i float away
like honey in the sun
was it right or wrong
i couldn't sing that song
anyway
-Tim Buckley

Just think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written

[elle]

ok i just finished reading this book this minute but love this quote so much...The book is "12" by Nick McDonell, I urge you all to go read it it's great.

anyway...
"you will not bve remembered if you die now. You will be buried and mourned by a few and what more can you ask for? But you feel tremendously alone, because you fear that your blood is not strong or good enough, and your friends are few and embattled too. But so what. That is the answer...You are not an artist. You will not leave something behind."

Ok i skipped a lot of it because it's too long but i just thought it was really beautiful and wanted to share.

sway

Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time

It's just that demon life has got you in its sway
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway

Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground
For all my friends out on the burial ground
Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

There must be ways to find out
Love is the way they say is really strutting out

Hey, hey, hey now
One day I woke up to find
Right in the bed next to mine
Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile, yeah

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me...

It's just that demon life has got me...

[statueofagirl]

for mr. trauma...who ive given enough chances to make things right...and he just wont take them.

Can I call you my friend?
It's been so long
Since we have talked
and I miss you
Don't worry I'm over you right now
So my feelings wont get in the way of it
Oh, I miss the way we talked
about the little things

[joely]

Angel eyes - am I deceived or did you sigh?
For all I know you let you love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes - you never close, who's got the time?
I can wait until your love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes - seems to me you fill the skies
I'm far below so let your love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes - on the wing and open wide
No matter how high the moon
Shine down on me

[wow&flutter]

Whispering Pines
R. Manuel and J.R. Robertson

If you find me in a gloom, or catch me in a dream,
Inside my lonely room, there is no in-between

Whispering pines, rising of the tide,
If only one star shines
That's just enough to get inside,
I will wait until it all goes around
With you in sight, the lost are found,
Foghorn through the night, calling out to sea
Protect my only light, 'cause she once belonged to me.
Let the waves rush in, let the seagulls cry
For if I live again, these hopes will never die,
I can feel you standing there
But I don't see you anywhere,
Standing by the well, wishing for the rains
Reaching for the clouds, for nothing else remains,
Drifting in a daze, when evening will be done
Try looking through a haze,
At an empty house, in the cold, cold sun
I will wait until it all goes around,
With you in sight, the lost are found

[Ghostdog]

O deserts down below us
And storms up above
Like a stray dog gone defective
Like a paper tiger in the sun

you look at him like
you've never known him

that you have
the last time you cried
who you'd think was inside?

[walkingcatfish]

You told me goodbye, how was I to know
you didn't mean goodbye, you meant please don't let me go?

I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know

The wheels are muddy, got a ton of hay,
now listen here, Baby, 'cause I mean what I say.

I'm having a hard time, living the good life, well I know.

I was losing time, I had nothing to do,
no one to fight, I came to you.
Wheels broke down, leader won't draw,
the line is busted, the last one I saw.
Tomorrow come trouble, tomorrow come pain,
now don't think too hard Baby, 'cause I know what I'm saying.

I could show you a high time, living the good life, don't be that way.

Nothing's for certain, it could always go wrong,

We could have us a high time, living the good life, well I know.

[joely]

Rosemary
Heaven restores you in life
Coming with me
Through the aging, the fear and the strife
It's the smiling on the package
It's the faces in the sand
It's the thought that holds you upwards
Embracing me with two hands
Write, we'll take you places
Yeah maybe to the beach
When your friends they do come crying
Tell them how your pleasure's set up on slow-release

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to faith not
Denial
But hey whose on trial?

It took a life spent
With no cellmate
The long way back
Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way?

He speaks about travel
Yeah, we think about the land
We smile like all people
Feeling real tan
I can take you places
Do you need a new man?
Wipe the pollen from the faces
Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to faith not
Denial
But hey whose on trial?

It took a life spent
With no cellmate
Find a long way back
Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way?
You're weightless, you are exotic
You need something for which to care
Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way?

Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
You've come to love me nightly
Yeah you've come to hold me tight
Is this motion everlasting
Or do shutters pass in the night?

Rosemary
Oh heaven restores you in life
I spent a lifespan with no cellmate
The long way back
Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way?
You're weightless, semi-erotic
You need someone to take you there
Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way?
Why can't we just play the other game?
Why can't we just look the other way?

[Ghostdog]

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
they have nothing that will ever capture your heart
theyr'e just thorns without the rose
be careful of them in the dark
oh if I was the one
you chose to be your only one
oh baby can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train
every night is just the same
you leave me lonely now

[unsteel]

i showed up at our wedding
to a church full of strangers
you never arrived
i sat on those steps for a long long time

the priest insisted on proceeding
'cause there were other couples waiting
she got both our names wrong
and promptly told me to move along

i never saw you again
i always hoped that in the end
i could have been a better man
and so much more than a long lost friend
and so much more than a friend

[gaetano]

My girl's got a big mouth
With which she blabbers a lot
She laughs at most everything
Whether it's funny or not
And if you see her
Tell her it's over now

I want a girl who will laugh for no one else
When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf
When I'm away she never leaves the house
I want a girl who laughs for no one else

My girl's got eyeballs
In the back of her head
She looks around and around
You know it makes me sad to see her like that
Please don't believe her - she says that for anyone
And if you see her
Tell her it's a hey hey hey hey

I want a girl who will laugh for no one else
When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf
When I'm away she never leaves the house
I want a girl who laughs for no one else

I hear you've got a pocket full of words
That you keep in the garage
Together with the feathers and the fireworks
A surftown hero who's got one foot in the garden
Where the neon-lighted cocktail glasses bloom
And they built you a model airplane
Like the one that brought you back to Lindbergh field
Now you're counting your change by the streetlights on India
"Hey, it's me again, I'm faded...could I please come over?"

You can do what you want
In umbilical town
In a waterfront bar

Old gap-toothed Annie was a friend of mine
The third time around she was born again
She must have burned at least a half-a-million dollars
In the little rooms next door to wash-and-fold
And there ain't no consolation prize
There is no backdoor to innocence
Just the wild-eyed faces and names that you've forgotten
"Hey, the money's gone, I'm broken, could I please come over?"

You can do what you want
In umbilical town
In that waterfront bar

I've been dreaming we were born together
I've been thinking about it
'Been lurking backstreets-kicking down alleyways
I've been thinking about it
How it's always worse than it appears
Raskolnikov's out on the stairs
Howling at the man in the moon
They say he lost control
Between the suburbs and the barrio
Tired from too much too soon
Now the air is thick with compromises
We're always on the way
So I take comfort in the only life I know

Well you can do what you want
In umbilical town
At the waterfront bar
In umbilical town
You can do what you want
You can do what you want
You can do what you want

:heart:

In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take
Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven?
I`d like to think so
Standards of living
They´re rising daily
But home oh sweet home
It´s only a saying
From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on
What to do there
Better pray there

Open plan living
Bungalow ranch style
All of it’s comforts
Seem so essential
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float my new pool
De luxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can´t throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I´ll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body
But you blew my mind

Oh those heartaches
Dreamhome heartaches

I do post in spurts, though - my ADHD manifests itself rather well in my posting style:

[gaetano]

i'm enjoying this thread way too much.



i've got a pocketful of words in my brain
i'll pull something out when i think it should
i feel like i'm going insane
i'm not,i just said cause i thought i would
i always feel the need to profane
i've always said fuck when i thought i could
to me this seems so inane

i don't need an attitude
rebellion is a platitude
i only hope the verse is good
i hate verisimilitude

[unsteel]

far, far away
from those city lights
that might be shining on you tonight
far, far away
from you
on the dark side
of the moon

i long to hold you in my arms and sway
kiss and ride on the CTA
i need to see you
tonight

and those bright lights
oh, i know it's right
deep in my heart
i'll know it's right

by the bed
by the light
that you read by
by the time
that i get home to say goodnight
i need to see you again
on the dark side
my friend
on the dark side

[El Scorcho]

This is stranger than I thought

Six different ways inside my heart

And everyone I'll keep tonight

Six different ways go deep inside



I'll tell them anything at all

I know I'll give them more and more



I'll tell them anything at all

I know I'll give the world and more

The think I'm on my hands and head

This time they're much too slow



Six sides to every lie I say

It's that American voice again

It was never quite like this before

Not one of you is the same



This is stranger than I thought

Six different ways inside my heart

And everyone I'll keep tonight

Six different ways go deep inside

"She said 'I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad'
And she's making me feel like I've never been born

I said 'who put all those things in your hair
Things that make me feel that I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I've never been born'

She said 'you don't understand what I've said'
I said 'no, no, no, you're wrong'
When I was a boy everything was right, everything was right

I said 'even though you know what you know
I know that that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born'

She said 'you don't understand what I've said'

Stumbled across this today... Any thoughts?

Walking in
Past the temp on the reception
I crane my neck to see her mini-skirt
As I wander to my section
Logging on,
When the supervisor knocks
‘We’ve had to make some cuts’
Malcolm tuts inside his box…

Coffee break
Malcolm plans his holiday
How he’s going to hit Ibiza
I can never think up what to say
Tapping keys
Screens freeze, I call I.T.
And I watch them fix the problem
Sitting back and drinking tea

Oo-ooh, oo-ooh, would you look in my direction?
Oo-ooh, oo-ooh, or is it over?

Malcolm sighs
Because the temp she thinks he’s ugly
She just sits there filing nails away
It seems fair enough to me
I lost my car
Just can’t remember where I parked it
And I search around the streets
In the car-park and the supermarket

I’ve got a bad bad feeling now,
That I’ll never get a piece of the action
Now the only two emotions I know
Are iritation and satisfaction.

Let's get together and talk about the modern age.
All of our friends were gathered there with their pets
just talking shit about how we're all so upset about the disappearing ground.
As we watch it melt....
It's all of the good that won't come out of us
and how eventually our hands will just turn to dust,
if we keep shaking them.
Standing here on this frozen lake.
I do this thing where I think I'm real sick
but I won't go to the doctor to find out about it
Cause they make you stay real still in a real small space
As they chart up your insides and put them on display.
They'd see all of it, all of me, all of it.
All the good that won't come out of
