Tie Me Up with Jackets- Fight Like Apes

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:30:02 GMT

Same goes for you, I like my meatballs in a dish
And I like other people too.
As the saying goes I'm pretty miffed,
But I'd love to see you in the nude
With faux fur coats tied around your head,
Japanese children in your bed
And then she looked at me and said
I don't like Simple Kid.
Holding hands with Eloise,
Taking smoke breaks as you please
You got a lot of fancy toys,
Christmas jumpers, lovely noise

Lovely noise (lovely noise)
Lovely noise that makes you love me
Lovely noise (lovely noise)
Lovely noise that makes you love me
Lovely noise (lovely noise)
Lovely noise that makes you love me

And I can't compete with all you talk about,
You're so informed
And yet you talk just like a lout you say,
"Yo la Tengo" like you're selling perfume
Like a brand new scent for modern man,
Invented by cartoons.

So tie me up with jackets,
And fumigate my room
It smells like socks and tastes like apple schnapps
But you can live there too
And we'll play

Lovely noise (lovely noise)
Lovely noise that makes you love me
Lovely noise (lovely noise)
Lovely noise that makes you love me
Lovely noise (lovely noise)
Lovely noise that makes you love me
Lovely noise (lovely noise)
Lovely noise that makes you love me

(Cha cha cha cha...)
Chimps don't like baths

Chimps don't like baths

Chimps don't like baths

Mrs. Potter's Lullaby- Counting Crows

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:28:33 GMT

Well I woke in mid-afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most
I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts
You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast

well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame
and though I'll never forget your face,
sometimes i can't remember my name

Hey Mrs. Potter don't cry
Hey Mrs. Potter I know why but
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me

Well, there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything

Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl will linger inside your head
And the ferris wheel junkies will spin there forever instead
When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in my bed

Hey Mrs. Potter don't go
Hey Mrs. Potter I don't know but
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me

All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep

So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem
But I'd sure like to find out
So why don't you climb down off that movie screen

Hey Mrs. Potter don't turn
Hey Mrs. Potter I burn for you
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me

When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
and orders another
Well, I wonder what he did that for
That's when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there before
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door

We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
We stand up in the palace like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars
We shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
You can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far
Oh, you can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far

Hey Mrs. Potter I won't touch
Hey Mrs. Potter it's not much but
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me

i had a match, but she had a lighter
i had a flame, but she had a fire
i was bright, but she was much brighter
i was high, but she was the sky
oh baby, i was bound for mexico
oh baby, i was bound to let you go

i don't know much about cinco de mayo
i'm never sure what it's all about
but i say i want you, and you don't believe me
you say you want me, but i've got my doubts

oh baby, i was bound for mexico
oh baby, i was bound to let you go

i had a match, but she had a lighter
i had a flame, but she had a fire
i was bright, but she was much brighter
i was high, but she was the sky
oh baby, i was bound for mexico
oh baby, i was bound to let you go

Grace of God Go I- Flogging Molly

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 06:15:28 GMT

Lookin' down through a tide of no return
Is a field where the crops no longer grow
Parched is the land, strangled an' be damned
There for the Grace Of God Go I

Down beside where the riverbed sleeps
Is a man not knowin' what he should feel
Mocked by the wave that beats the waters edge
There for the Grace Of God Go I

If I ever hurt another like thee again
I would drown myself beneath your name
Lost was the child, we all once did hide
There for the Grace Of God Go I

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea- Neutral Milk Hotel

Tue, 26 May 2009 18:14:48 GMT

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

1234- Feist

Tue, 05 May 2009 05:33:47 GMT

One, two, three, four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That is what my youth was for

Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, You know who you are

Sweetheart bitterheart now I can't tell you apart
Cosy and cold, put the horse before the cart

Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up to one little lie

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are

One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, who you are

For the teenage boys
Breaking your heart
For the teenage boys
Breaking your heart

Hard Feelings- Action League Now!

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 05:00:47 GMT

A little later on when she saw him crying,
she promised her self that she wouldn't tell a soul.
They met in winter when the birds were all trying
to get to anywhere away from the cold.

Startled sunlight hits the window of her bedroom
all of her friends have been shape shifting for years.
raised by pacifists in communist communes,
she always wanted her own place around here.

Tears are tears. love is chemistry.
Boys with sensitive and passionate thoughts
will have their place as a simple remedy
for all the tenderness that we never got.

Stop!
Just hold of for a second i just need a few seconds alone
baby please just let me be alone.
Won't you just let me be alone?

Now take a drink if this story sounds familiar
its another of the patterns that we choose
the fact that we've heard it before is the killer.
We think there's nothing if there's nothing to lose.

one two three ways to interpret the silence
passes between them when there's no one around
he says that small talk was invented by the spineless
feeling naked in the absence of sound

He hit the ground,
expecting tragedy
stocking up on fire extinguishers and bullet proof vests
you son of a bitch
you could try to be happy some times
maybe feel sorry for your self a little less

she lets her hands drop to her sides,
He keeps keeps his arms firmly folded against his chest
everything's a mess.

A little later on when she saw him crying
she lit a cigarette and grabbed her purple coat
it was summer by then and they were both trying
not to feel naked in the absence of hope
baby just let me be alone.
Just let me alone.
Won't you just let me be alone?
Baby just let me be alone.

Remember When- Castledoor- Follow the Dove EP

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 23:22:47 GMT

Remember when we left our homes, and moved to San Francisco.
We both had our hair dyed blonde, still listened to the radio.
You were Mr. Funny, and I was laughing loud.
The two of us got caught up in that cloud.

Remember when we left the bay, and drove to L.A.
We stopped and bought a rainbow flag, pretending we were gay.
We slept in every morning, stayed up the whole night long.
And then one day we started writing songs.

Remember when we made a CD, and flew to Tennessee.
That's when things got interesting, with a cussin', and a smoking a drag.
The world started looking different, our hearts were growing cold.
The girls we met just covered us in snow.

Remember when we cured our frown, and moved back to our home town.
Our girls were shopping wedding gowns, but the morning was running out.
We started talking funny, but this time I didn't laugh.
We never thought we'd see your bags packed.

Don't let this end, don't make me say Remember When.

Mario Kart Love Song

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:55:10 GMT

You be my princess,
I'll be your Toad
I'll follow behind you
On rainbow road.
Protect you from red shells
Where ever we go
I Promise

No one will touch us
If we pick up a star
And if you spin out
you can ride in my car
when we slide together we generate sparks
In our wheels and our hearts

And the finish line
is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
so our love will never end
Lets go again.

The blue shell is coming
So I'll go ahead
if you stay behind
it will hit me instead
but don't ever look back
cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you.

Don't worry about Bowser or Dk
Just eat this glowing mushroom
and they'll all fade away

And the finish line
is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
so our love will never end
Lets go again.

And the finish line
is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
so our love will never end
Lets go again,

To the Mushroom Cup
To the Flower Cup
To the Star Cup
To the Reverse Cup

Walawalawalawalaluigi!

Breaking Out - The Protomen

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 04:59:34 GMT

This city doesn't know what's coming
She doesn't feel the heat
This city doesn't know what hit her
What knocked her out into the street
This city's thinking that it's over
She's already fast asleep
I'm breaking outta here tonight
I am, I am, I am ready

We're given only what we need
Only the chance to survive
And even then its a coin toss
A roll of the dice
There's gotta be something better
Something that feels more alive
So, I'm breaking outta here tonight
I'm breaking outta here

You gotta feel it, baby
Feel it with me, girl
It feels like something's gonna change
There's no use putting it in drive
If all the wheels are stuck
There's something wrong with us
Like this whole city wants to scream
But no one makes a sound
You gotta feel it, baby
So I'm gonna find out what it is
And I'm gonna tear it down

The engine's running, babe, we don't have time for goodbye
I know you can't come with me, I see that look in your eye
So kiss me fast, 'cause theres no time to lose
Leave the light on, I'll come back for you
When everything is said and done, I swear I'm gonna make it right
I'm breaking out of here tonight

And I'm so tired of giving up
I am so tired of giving in
You wake up knowing things should change
Not knowing where to begin
This city won't say where she's going
She won't speak of where she's been
But I'm breaking out of here tonight
Break out

Oooooooh, Don't turn your back on the city

Say a prayer for all the children still sleeping
Say a prayer for all the fathers who still remember
Say a prayer for all the girls that learned to stand up
Say a prayer for all the boys who won't surrender

Sometimes I just wanna drive until the streets run out
I want to burn until there's nothing left to burn about
This city's waiting for a better day
When I get back there will be hell to pay
If I'm the only one left here I will not be afraid to fight
I'm breaking out of here tonight

I feel a fever coming on and burning out of control
Then I hear nothing but the static
For years I have heard nothing but the static on the radio
So if you year my voice outside these walls
If you can hear me sending out this message tonight
There may be silence in the signal but
-- a little guiding light

Don't turn your back on the city

Outloud- Dispatch- Bang Bang

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:12:42 GMT

Would you be the wind to blow me home?
Will you be a dream on the wings on a poem?
And if we were walking through a crowd
well you know I'd be proud if you'd call my name out loud
If you call my name out loud.

Do you suppose that I would come running?
DO you suppose I'd come at all?
I suppose I would.

And if we were walking down a dead end street
would you be the one to let our eyes meet?
or would you just keep walking down to the turn around,
And if we were walking through a crowd
well you know I'd be proud if you'd call my name out loud.
If you call my name out loud.

Do you suppose that I would come running?
DO you suppose I'd come at all?
I suppose I would

And If I was gone
From the land we know
Would you be there, darling?
Would your beauty still show?
And if you were out walking
In the cold night coming
Would you call my name?
Cause you know I would come running.
If you'd call my name out loud

If you'd call my name out loud
Do you suppose that I would come running?
Do you supposed I'd come at all?
You know I would.
You know I would.
You know I would.
You know I would.
I'd come running.
I'd come running.
If you'd call my name out loud.

The Boondocks Theme- Asheru

Sat, 15 Dec 2007 05:41:05 GMT

I am the stone that builder refused.
I am the visual,
The inspiration
That made lady sing the blues.

I'm the spark that makes your idea bright,
The same spark
that lights the dark
So that you can know your left from your right.

I am the ballot in your box,
The bullet in your gun,
The inner glow that lets you know
To call your brother son.
The story that just begun.
The promise of what's to come.
And I'm 'a remain a soldier till the war is won.

Somewhere in the Between- Streetlight Manifesto

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 03:59:36 GMT

You were gone when we found you
You were practically surrounded, you were trapped
But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold
When they saw the look of love in your eyes

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of the plan
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
And we all just idolize the dead

So you were born, and that was a good day
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

You had a love and that love had you
And nothing mattered, you were fine
And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame
They know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of our path
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the anthem, the slogan, the summary of events
And we all just idealize the past

So you were born, and that was a good day
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of the plan
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
And we all just idolize the dead

So you were born, and that was a good day
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end
But we can't just get in line again

Breakdown- Jack Johnson

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:08:54 GMT

I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And, see what there is to see
And time is just a melody
All the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
I just roll through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame im looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown

This engine screams out loud
Centipede gunna crawl westbound
So I don't even make a sound
Cause it's gunna sting me when I leave this town
All the people in the street
That i'll never get to meet
If these tracks don't bend somehow
And I got no time
That I got to get to
Where I don't need to be
So I

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now
Let me break on down

But you cant stop nothing
If you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind
That you kept in, you know
You don't know nothing
But you don't need to know
The wisdoms in the trees
Not the glass windows
You cant stop wishing
If you don't let go
But things that you find
And you lose, and you know
You keep on rolling
Put the moment on hold
The frames too bright
So put the blinds down low

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now

Somewhere over the rainbow/What a Wonderful World-Israel Kamakawiwo Ole

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 00:48:04 GMT

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
and the dreams that you dream of
once in a lullaby

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
blue birds fly
and the dreams that you dream of
dreams really do come true

someday ill wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
where trouble melts like lemon drops
high beyond the chimney tops
thats where you'll find me

oh somewhere over the rainbow
blue birds fly
and the dreams that you dare
oh why oh why cant i

well i see trees of green
and red roses too
i watched them bloom for me and you
as i think to my self what a wonderful world

i see skies of blue
and clouds of white
and the brightness of day
but i like the dark
and i think to my self
what a wonderful world

the colors of the rainbow
are so pretty in the sky
reflected on the people passing by
i see friends shaking hands
saying, "how do you do"
but they're really saying,
"i love you"

I hear babies cry
and i watch them grow
they'll know much more than
i'll ever know
and i think to myself
what a wonderful world

someday ill wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
where trouble melts like lemon drops
high beyond the chimney tops
thats where you'll find me

somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
and the dreams that you dream of
why, oh why cant I?

1234 1234- Catch 22

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 05:27:46 GMT

You, you try, you try to get by. "You're never going to pull it off", "You shouldn't even try" "You're a wet cigarette", "You're always second best", but they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves. You fight for them to realize; there's more to life, there's more to you, there's more than meets the eye. And when you're done, the battle's been won. You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum, you hum: ....12341234.... The years go by, the time it does fly. Every single second is a moment in time that passes oh, so quick and it seems like nothing, but when you're looking back, well it amounts to everything. I've got myself. I've got my friends. I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends. This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone. It's in the name of honesty because life has just begun. .... 12341234.... Look around little brother, Can you tell me what you see? You're a big boy now, so take responsibility. You never had it hard, but now it's getting tough, so you whine, whine, whine and you say you've had enough. You say i'm full of shit That i'm a hypocrite I shouldn't talk, when i can't take the advice that i give? Well maybe you're right, but open your eyes: the main difference here is that i try, try.

New Slang- The Shins

Mon, 20 Aug 2007 05:44:08 GMT

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only, i don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
And i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.

And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
And i'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?
And if you'd 'a took to me like
Well i'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

Caring is Creepy- The Shins

Sat, 18 Aug 2007 06:13:05 GMT

I think I'll go home and mull this over
Before I cram it down my throat
At long last it's crashed, this colossal mass
Has broken up into bits in my moat.

lift the mattress off the floor
Walk the cramps off
Go meander in the cold
Hail to your dark skin
Hiding the fact you're dead again
Underneath the power lines seeking shade
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when you know we should fold
On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped
And all the whole mess of roads we're now on.

Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is.
One day I'll be wondering how
I got so old just wondering how
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.

This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending

Oh these squawking birds won't quit.
Building nothing, laying bricks.

Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is.
One day I'll be wondering how
I got so old just wondering how
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.

This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending

Oh these squawking birds won't quit.
Building nothing, laying bricks.

Point/Counterpoint- Streetlight Manifesto

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 18:16:21 GMT

I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock
and even if I could I would never give up.
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung.
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song.

If there was something wrong would you be oh so strong?
Would you do what it takes to move this hollow life along?
I'd like to think I would, you know I'd like to think I would
but I can guarantee that what you see is not reality
and every time she makes a point, I make a counterpoint
She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
and you know that's only just the way it goes
You said it right man, That is just the way it goes

And the days, and the days they seem like forever
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
But forever isn't ever enough!!
I'd like to sing a song
Promise you won't be long!
I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong
There was a kid who never cared about the little things
Don't even bother because I'm tired and I'm sick of it
And every time she makes a point, I'll make a counterpoint!
She said It's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
And you know that's only just the way it goes
You said it right man, that is just the way it goes

I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock
and even if I could I would never give up.
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung.
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song.

Oh, You don't know where I've been!
Oh, You don't know what I've seen!

If I did something right
Would you give up this fight?
Would you say you were wrong and maybe someone else was kind of right
I'd like to think you would
You know I'd like to think you would
but I can't guarantee that what you get is an apology
Jump back to the day we met
I never thought that it would end this way
If ever I let you down I want to ask of you
To take it down a notch and we can talk it on through

And the days, and the days they seem like forever
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
But forever isn't ever enough!!
I'd like to sing a song
Promise you won't be long!
I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong
There was a kid who never cared about the little things
Don't bother 'cause I still don't give a shit
And every time she makes a point, I'll make a counterpoint!
She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
And you know that's only just the way it goes
You said it right man, that is just the way it goes

I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock
and even if I could I would never give up.
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung.
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song.

Oh, You don't know where I've been!
Oh, You don't know what I've seen!

So tell me friend, how's it going to end?
When the shit goes down and there's no one left around to get your back
You'll crack
You'll smile and agree with everything they say
They'll try to tell you that it's all okay
But it's not and you're shot and you're bleeding pretty bad
And you can't stop thinking about the things you never had
Like a wife and a kid and the things you never did
You're running around
You're living a life that's empty in the end, my friend

No, You'll take back all you've said
Oh, When the regrets fill your head

Trust me I've been there before
I would not wish it upon my greatest enemy
What irony!
Once friends, but I find
You'll have to learn this lesson on your own

So I waited by the phone but that phone never rang
and I sang so loud so I wouldn't hear the bang
When the bang never came and I never got the call
Fuck It! Thank You! I Love You All!
Some are going to say that we're doomed to repeat
all our past mistakes
Great!
But that's not me
and even if it was I would always disagree
Because in the end I always get the better of me

I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
and I can't stop staring at the tick tock clock
and even if I could I would never give up.
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung.
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song.

Oh, I'll take you where I've been!
Oh, I'll show you what I've seen!

Dilaudid- The Mountain Goats

the reception's gotten fuzzy.
the delicate balance has shifted.
put on your gloves and your black pumps.
let's pretend the fog has lifted.

now you see me.
now you don't.
now you say you love me.
pretty soon you won't.

if we get our full threescore and ten,
we won't pass this way again.
so kiss me with your mouth open.
turn the tires toward the street
and stay sweet.

all the chickens come on home to roost.
plump bodies blotting out the sky.
you know it breaks my heart in half, in half
when I see them trying to fly.

'cause you just can't do
things your body wasn't meant to.
hike up your fishnets.
I know you.

if we live to see the other side of this,
I will remember your kiss.
so do it with your mouth open.
and take your foot off of the brake
for christ's sake.

I Bet That You Look Good On the Dance Floor- Arctic Monkeys

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:07:30 GMT

Stop making the eyes at me,
I'll stop making the eyes at you.
What it is that surprises me is that I don't really you to
And your shoulders are frozen (as cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion but you're dynamite
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
Lightning the fuse might in a bang with a bang-go

I said I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or what
Don't know what you're looking for
Well I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
from 1984!

I wish you'd stop ignoring me because you're sending me to despair,
Without a sound yeh you're calling me and I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (as cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (You're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio but I don't care for sand
Lighting the fuse might result in a bang with a bang-go

I said I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or what
I don't know what you're looking for
I said I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care

And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

I see you - the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now? It's plain to see we're over,
And I hate when things are over -
When so much is left undone

And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care

And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

Story Of a Lonely Guy- Blink-182

Fri, 01 Jun 2007 01:51:08 GMT

Push it out, fake a smile
Avert disaster, but just in time
I need a drink, cause in a while
Worthless answers from friends of mine
It's dumb to ask, cool to ignore
Girls posess me, but they're never mine
I made my entrance, avoided hazards
Checked my engine, I fell behind

I fell behind

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone i'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on, days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move, cause i'm a fuckin' boy

Remember when I was in the grocery store, now's my time
Lost the words,lost my nerve, lost the girl, left the line
I would wish upon a star, but that star, it doesn't shine
So read my book with a boring ending
A short story of a lonely guy

Who fell behind

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone i'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on, days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move, cause i'm a fuckin' boy

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone i'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on, days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move, cause i'm still just a stupid worthless boy

Demon Days- Gorillaz

Mon, 21 May 2007 07:02:54 GMT

In demon days, it's cold inside
You don't get nobody, people sigh
It's so bad, lasting far, but love yourself
Hiding in a hole in there
All the glasses are too big
Bring it back, got to hold it back
To let you do that yet you don't want me back
Before it fall down, falling down falling down
Falling out to go far from the soul (ah)

In these demon days
It's so cold inside
So hard for a good soul to survive
You can't even trust the air you breathe
Because mother earth wants us all to leave
When lies become reality
You numb yourself with drugs and T.V.
So pick yourself up, it's a brand new day
So turn yourself round
Don't burn yourself, turn youself
Turn yourself around

In these demon days
It's so cold inside
So hard for a good soul to survive
You can't even trust the air you breathe
Because mother earth wants us all to leave
When lies become reality
You numb yourself with drugs and T.V.
So pick yourself up, it's a brand new day
So turn yourself round
Don't burn yourself, turn youself
Turn yourself around
To the sun!

To the sun, to the sun...
To the sun, to the sun...
