"This Isn't Everything You Are" - Snow Patrol

You can’t find the phone, so you can call it off
But it might be for the best
You can’t walk away, anyway
Because you’ve nowhere else to go

Is he worth all this, is it a simple yes?
Cause if you have to think, it’s f*cked
Feels like you loved him more, than he loved you
And you wish you’d never met

Don’t keel over now
Don’t keel over
Don’t keel over now
Don’t keel over

You’ve been up all night, and the night before
You’ve lost count of drinks and time
And your friends keep calling, worried sick
And there’s strangers everywhere

Don’t keel over now
Don’t keel over
Don’t keel over now
Don’t keel over

And in one little moment
It all implodes
But this isn’t everything you are

Breathe deeply in the silence
No sudden moves
This isn’t everything you are

Just take the hand that’s offered
And hold on tight
This isn’t everything you are

There’s joy not far from here, right
I know there is
This isn’t everything you are

When you took the call
How could you know
That he’d slipped away last night
And you wish you’d went home, days ago
To say goodbye or just hello

Don’t keel over now
Don’t keel over
Don’t keel over now
Don’t keel over

And in one little moment
It all implodes
But this isn’t everything you are

Breathe deeply in the silence
No sudden moves
This isn’t everything you are

Just take the hand that’s offered
And hold on tight
This isn’t everything you are

There’s joy not far from here, right
I know there is
This isn’t everything you are

This isn’t everything you are

This isn’t everything you are
 
"Love Can Destroy Everything" - The Raveonettes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CW-bd_kEZM

If You Were Me And All You Could Think Of
Was To Die In Your Arms Tonight
How Would You Tell Me And How Would You Hurt Me
When Hearts Are Not Chained At First Sight
Here I Go Not Even Surprised
When Love Is Gone Like Something You Stole
It Takes A Little Time Of Getting Used To
But Love Can Destroy Everything

I Vaguely Remember Something You Told Me
When I Took A Shot At Your Heart
You Said You Could Never Die For Someone
Who Tore All Your Dreams Apart
Here I Go Not Even Surprised
When Love Is Gone Like Something You Stole
It Takes A Little Time Of Getting Used To
But Love Can Destroy Everything

It Takes A Little Time Of Getting Used To
But Love Can Destroy Everything
Yeah Love Can Destroy Everything


... why I prefer to be alone.
 
The Killers

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
Yeah

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain't changing me
The bold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

[x10]
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

Pink Floyd - Brain Damge (for Pagey :) )

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"

I'm lying on the sofa and the radio is blaring
and I'm scanning through the stations as the boys declare their feelings
but it doesn't feel like feelings, it feels like they're pretending
it feels like they just want blowjobs
and they know these songs will get them
 
"Hard To Explain"


Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control

Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

Oh, we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same

Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

Raised in Carolina
"I'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back

I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain
I say the right things, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
"You're right it's true"

Says he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great

Oh, I just can't remember
I just can't remember

Raised in Carolina, she says:
" I'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back

I say the right things but act the wrong way
I like it right here but I cannot stay
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
Oh, man, can't you see I'm nervous, so please
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I miss the last bus, we take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain
 
"Shake It Out" - Florence & The Machine... because sometimes you have to throw your eggs in one basket even if you know they're going to break.

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

Our love is questioned, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh whoa, oh whoa...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
 
Arrested Development - Revolution

This is Headliner from Arrested Development, and I come here tonight
To give thanks to the rain, so brothers and sisters please put down your
Umbrellas, you won't be needing those today
Look to the clouds with the most rain coming from it, for without the
Rain there's no me and there's no you
I said a drip-drop, a drip-drop, drip-drop
Viva bum bum bum drip-drop
Let it rain, let it rain, let God's water feed me
The water of life, mentally rinsing me, physically drenching me
Most are frowning upon your arrival
But I need you for survival
And when you fall on my community
I run outside to properly
Greet you
Let it rain, take my pain, I'm glad to meet you
Fill my eyes with a colorful rainbow
Every drop hits me, fills me
With an unmeasurable amount of security
Knowing my God acknowledges me
As if each drop of rain is aimed toward me
My Lord thanks for life thanks for my rain
My Lord thanks for life thanks for my rain

It's raining revolution
It's raining solutions
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution

I struttle strut through the ghetto
The rain this time I feel is mental
The goal of this rain I feel is spiritual
Saw through the eyes of the inflicted people
Their eyes are hard as a million tombstones
Marked with the names of the millions of kin thrown
To the dust that gave them their colored skin
Fade to black is the scene they're embalmed in
The rain many nights have witnessed her
Receiving the sperm of a brother into a sister
And blessed that life to guaranteed existence
A conscious baby for a black resistance
I feel the rain enhances the revolution
And reminds us of a spiritual solution
And reminds us of an unnatural supernatural solution

It's raining revolution
It's raining solutions
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution
It's raining revolution

Lost between reality and psychology. 1990's mentality is described
By the honorable truth message which is 'True knowledge is so priceless'
Which is so true
Rain, rain, stay here! Wow
Love that power
Brothers and sisters, haha
Raise your hands up high and let me see the colors of your beautiful skin
Now the ceremony begins
Lord, let that heavenly rains cleanse
Run into your nearest rainbow
To grab, hold, to ride on
Each color, learn it!
The importance of each color oh yeah
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
Haha
Yes
Oh yeah
 
The Chemical Brothers - Hold Tight London <3

So do, I warn you
I see things when I hold you
But I’ve whispered: "it’s alright"
It is you and me and a long night

You're a ghost in the doorway,
I can see through, but I hold tight,
I’ll just stay on holding until it hurts,
I just want you to know you're lovely,


You're a ghost in the doorway,
I can see through, but I hold tight,
I’ll just stay on holding until it hurts,
I just want you to know you're lovely,

Don’t worry, nothing can go wrong,
Don’t worry, nothing can go wrong,
Don’t worry, nothing can go wrong,
Don’t worry, nothing can go wrong,
(nothing!!)
 
Damien Rice - Cannonball

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little piece of your face i haven't kissed
You step a little closer to me
Still i can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words i long to hear
You step a little closer each day
So close that i can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And i don't want to scare her
It's not hard to fall
And i don't want to lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
 
Underneath the leaves where the blackbirds turn blue
If there’s room for me
There’s room for you
Place your ear to the ground, you hear a voice
It sings the song The whole night long I am the melody of the fallen tree
What comes between me You and me So sadly transient, you’d never guess It could ever be
So easy to see
Across a frozen field you hear a call With the urgency
Of the boiling sea All your hopes and dreams they rise and fall
Secretly
A cacaphony
The love and brutality
They all turn on me
You hope to someday see Patiently
So sadly obvious, you’d never guess It could ever be

So hard to see
 
"Under Cover Of Darkness"


Slip back out of whack at your best.
It's a nightmare,
So I'm joining the army.

No house phones, but can i still call?
Will you wait for me now?

We got the right to live, fight to use it,
Got everything but you can just choose it
I won't just be a puppet on a string

Don't go that way.
I'll wait for you.

And I'm tired of all your friends
Listening at your door
I want, what's better for you,

So long, my friend and adversary.
But I'll wait for you.

Get dressed, jump out of bed and do it best.
Are you OK?
I've been out around this town
Everybody's singing the same song for ten years.

I'll wait for you.
Will you wait for me too?

And they sacrifice their lives
In our land are all closed eyes.
They've said it a billion times and they'll say it again.
So long my adversary and friend.

Don't go that way.
I'll wait for you.

I'm tired of all your friends,
Knocking down your door.
Get up in the morning, yelling no more,
So long, my friend and adversary.
I'll wait for you.
 
The Verve - Already There

Seen it all I'm already there

Save your books and your pills
I don't need them I'm there


You can do anything you want to
All you've got to do is try


I thought my best days had left me
My best years had left me behind


Then I felt them come back (to me)
And all the wild eyes
All the wild eyes no what I mean


It trees cut stars and eyes to heaven
I'll bend them back and bend them again
If my skin looks tired and ol from living
I'll turn right back and live it again
You better pray when the music stops
And you're left alone in your mind
Cause I'll be hearing music till the day I die


Then I heard it turn off
I swear I heard the screams
And all the wild eyes
All the wild eyes no what I mean
They're scared they've lost their dream
They press down on me
You know I thought I was there


Hello high are you?
Yes, well that explains it
Oh you were walking rould like some kind of angel
You were walking rould like some kind of angel
Hello high are you yes
Well that explains it
Well that explains it
 
"On a Beach" - Richard Ashcroft

have swam those raging seas
washed up by an ocean who had tired of me
how I survive
I will never know

this wreck got a home
and a whole lot of hope

I'm out on a beach
sat on a rock
thinking of you and the love I've got

I saw the devil's servant
I sent her home
said bring me you master I don't want his dog

I'm on fire
I'm full of love and new desire

I lit my fire blew my conch
nobody comes
I built my boat from bamboo
but it sunk

I looked at the sky for vapour trails
nobody comes

I wrote your name on a tree
along with the days this is taking you away from me

I'm out on a beach
sat on a rock
thinking of you and the love I've got

I saw the devil's servant
I sent her home
said bring me you master I don't want his dog

I'm on fire
I'm full of love and new desire

I ain't afraid to die
ain't afraid to die
and here we go
ain't afraid to die

I'm out on a beach
sat on a rock
thinking of you and the love I've got

I saw the devil's servant
I sent her home
said bring me you master I don't want his dog
 
The enemy is within
Don't confuse me with him
The truth is otherwise
Stupidity tries


ELLIOTT SMITH - STUPIDITY TRIES
 
Dark is the light, the man you fight
With all your prayers, incantations
Running away, a trivial day
Of judgement and deliverance
To whom was sold, the bounty soul
A gentile or a priest?
Who victored over, the seljuks
When the holy land was taken

We will fight the heathens (x something)

Was it the riches, of the land
Powers of bright darkness
That led the noble, to the east
To fight the heathens

We will fight the heathens (x something again)

We must call upon our bright darkness
Beliefs, they're the bullets of the wicked
One was written on the sword
For you must enter a room, to destroy it, destroy it, destroy it,
No international security
No call of the righteous man
Need a reason to kill men
History teaches us all
Reason he must attain
must be approved by his god
his child, partisan brother of war

Of war, we don't speak anymore of war... (x something)

We will fight the heathens (x something)
 
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
 
Change your heart
Look around you
Change your heart
It will astound you
I need your lovin'
Like the sunshine

Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime

Change your heart
Look around you
Change your heart
Will astound you
I need your lovin'
Like the sunshine

Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime

I need your lovin'
Like the sunshine

Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
 
You Am I - Heavy Heart

Been watching so much TV
I'm thinner than I should be
I'm like a waterlogged ball
That no-one wants to kick around anymore
An all day morning hair-do
That no comb can get through
It's all granola and beer
A calling card and a silk cut souvenir
I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning's when it starts
I don't look so sharp
Now I got a heavy heart

I talk a lot about football
And girls I kissed in Grade 4
I piss off my friends
I'm digging a hole just staring at the floor
Now every t-shirt's got a wine stain
I'm loving cigarettes again
I know every tune about guys and girls
and hurts and hearts and moans

I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning's when it starts
I don't look so good
Now I've got a heavy heart

It's just a low rent paying, palpitating pulp inside my shirt
But there's a weight that's sitting
So hard oh God it hurts
Oh God it hurts

Been watching so much TV
I'm thinner than I should be
I'm like a waterlogged ball
That no-one wants to kick around anymore

I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning when it starts
Oh my heavy heart
 
The trouble with the trouble
Is the trouble in me
I might be mistaken
Might be forsaken
That sure could be

That seems like lust to me
I don't know what you think

The trouble is
That the trouble says
There's trouble in you

Don't let me say
That I just slipped away
That I just took the car and your keys

The trouble is
The trouble says
It's all troubling

Don't talk to me
If you're not on the leave
I'll never get to sleep

All those things
You sent my way
I never saved a thing

Don't let me say
That I just slipped away
And I took the car and your keys

'Cause the trouble
Is the trouble with me


The trouble with the trouble
Is the trouble in me
I might be mistaken
 
15 Ativan, alone in a townhouse rented to a kid
Don't call an ambulance, cold, alone

She knew it'd take a while
She held on tight to the dreams she had as a kid
She knew it'd take a year to kill the fear

Cold nights spent outside
A phone book filled with named of people she would call
Will you spare your time and share your crime

- 15 Ativan (Song For Erika), Foxes in Fiction

http://foxesinfiction.bandcamp.com/track/15-ativan-song-for-erika

So hazy and impressionistic, I think part of why I like the lyrics is that it took forever to find out what he was saying.
