i know i've posted this somewhere before..but this is so my song
Barenaked ladies
"What a good boy"
When I was born they looked at me and said
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy
And when you were born they looked at you and said
What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl
We've got these chains that hang around our necks
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls we just look away
Chorus
This name is the hairshirt I wear
And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair
This song is the cross that I bear
Bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me
Be with me tonight
I know that it isn't right
But be with me tonight
I go to school, I write exams
If I pass, if I fail, if I drop out, does anyone give a damn?
And if they do, they'll soon forget
'Cause it won't take much for me to show that my life ain't over yet
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
And everything around me stays the same
Chorus
I couldn't tell you that I was wrong
Chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song
I couldn't tell you that you were right
So instead I looked in the mirror watched tv laid awake all night
We've got these chains that hang around our necks
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls....
When I was born they looked at me and said
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy
And when you were born they looked at you and said
What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey
 
I can't seem to shake this good mood! :)
Best of What's Around
DMB
Hey, my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off of your mind
See, you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
And so can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
We'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not where but who you're with
That really matters
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
When you're around
And if you hold on tight
To what you think is your thing
You may find you're missing all the rest
She ran up into the light surprised
Her arms are open
Her mind's eye is...
Seeing things from a
Better side than most can dream
On a better road I feel
So you could say she's safe
Whatever tears at her
Whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done
She'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not where but what you think
That really matters
That really matters
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
 
{{{{sweetpea}}}}
I used to think maybe you love me, now baby I'm sure
And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now everytime I go for the mailbox gotta hold myself down
Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're comin' around
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
And don't it feel good, hey, all right now
And don't it feel good
I used to think maybe you love me now I know that it's true
And I don't wanna spend my whole life just a waitin' for you
Now don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day (no no)
I said baby I just want you back and I want you to stay
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
And don't it feel good, hey, all right now
And don't it feel good
Walkin' On Sunshine Walkin' On Sunshine (yeah)
I feel alive, I feel a love, I feel a love that's really real
I feel alive, I feel a love
I feel a love that's really real I'm on sunshine baby, oh
Oh yeah, I'm on sunshine baby, oh
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh
And don't it feel good, hey, all right now
And don't it feel good
I say it, I say it, I say it again, now
And don't it feel good, hey, yeah now
And don't it feel good
Now don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it feel good
I say it, I say it, I say it again, now :)
 
My glance is always darting as a strole the avenue
avoiding all the obsticles that terrorize my view,
and if you are there with me, I trust you to lead the way.
but when your not i follow you, and always go astray
Your silent in the morning, suspended in the trees,
when lunchtime comes you've found your voice, it brings me to my knees
The volume just increases, the resounding echoes grow
until once again i bask in morning stillness, i love so
the target that i shot for seems to move with every breath
I tighten all my arteries and make one last request
Divine creation hears me, and squashes me with fear
I think this exact thing happened to me just last year"
part of Silent In the Morning-Phish
i have been in love with that tune and The Horse for the past week or so, never realized how moving it actually is. seriously almost brought me to tears the other day
(I was having a rough day)
 
December 29, 1996.
The Chili Pepper, South Beach, Florida.
I looked at my watch.
Twelve o'clock midnight.
Forty-five minutes had passed.
Then, I felt it.
Glowbug and I exchanged knowing glances.
I knew he felt it, too.
We both realized that something special was happening.
The memory will be burned on my brain forever.
And this little ditty was playing . . .
Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (Ya know he's 2 bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
 
If there was nothing that I could say
Turned your back and you just walked away
Leaves me numb inside I think of you
Together is all I knew
We moved too fast, but I had no sign
I would try to turn the hands of time
I looked to you for a reason why
The love we had passed me by
And as the sun would set you would rise
Fall from the sky into paradise
Is there no light in your heart for me
You've closed your eyes you no longer see
There were no lies between me and you
You said nothing of what you knew
But there was still something in your eyes
Left me helpless and paralysed
You could give a million reasons
Change the world and change the tides
Could not give me the secrets
Of your heart and of your mind
In the darkness that surrounds me
Now there is no peace of mind
Your careless words undo me
Leave the thought of us behind
You could give a million reasons
Change the world and change the tides
Could not give me the secrets
Of your heart and of your mind
In the darkness that surrounds me
Now there is no peace of mind
Your careless words undo me
Leave the thought of us behind
If there was nothing that I could say
Turned your back and you just walked away
Leaves me numb inside I think of you
Together is all I knew
We moved too fast, but I had no sign
I would try to turn the hands of time
I looked to you for a reason why
The love we had passed me by
And as the sun would set you would rise
Fall from the sky into paradise
Is there no light in your heart for me
You've closed your eyes you no longer see
There were no lies between me and you
You said nothing of what you knew
But there was still something in your eyes
Left me helpless and paralysed
 
:) :) ((Mini & LL))
"Sun goes down on a dying day
Shadows fall around you again
And the sky is getting ready to change
The colours a riot with a trickle of rain
Hey Babe, put those blues away
You can be the god and then the light upon the day
Hey Babe, put those blues away
You can't see tomorrow
You can't see tomorrow today, hey, hey, hey
With a rainbow in your heart for me
Keep on wishing and we can be free
There's a dream and it's got to come true
A new day is dawning and it's looking for you
Hey Babe, put those blues away
You can be the god and then the light upon the day
Hey Babe, put those blues away
You can't see tomorrow
You can't see tomorrow today, hey, hey, hey"

hum-why i like the robins
The distance outside of view comes into focus, collapses away lovingly
and hands to the glass and eyes to sky and glued to the south she waits to see
She's looking for birds she met last fall,
Who said they would come back different than all
She's waiting for six who know about sound,
Who'd promised to come back upside down
and i like your raindrop collector,
Splash in my eyes and makes everything else look like you
So hand me the glasses and teach me to use them,
Show me the window, i want to look too
I'll take the glasses and cover for you,
You get some sleep and i'll stay til two.
I'm looking for six who know about sound,
Who promised to come back upside down
She's got colors to spare and i don't care what they choose
and i've got nothing to do and nothing like you left to lose

;) Good Morning everyone
 
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"No, oh no not me,
I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

rancid-turntable
He's gonna go go get it
Gonna run run set it
Hidden realm
Ahh! everybody knows, it's fucking wild and there's no fronting about it
It's not the style, nor a trial
It's the best of love and hate
Come on everybody, lets get together
I appall the backdrop of hate
Well there's no more food on the table
What was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
A million eyeballs and a blink and a smile
With no dimensions in sight
Well given an inch, a billion colors
The entire world's contrast light
Oh it ain't right, another fight
Well all of it's so very clear
With my passion on a stud, I walked through
I walked through the vicious ones
I really don't care
Well there's no more food on the table
What was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
My western mind has a hard time (hard time)
Getting across this trust
Passive resistance, Your assistance (You're the one smoking dust)
It ain't a style, nor a trial, it's the best of love and hate (love and hate)
Come on everybody lets get together, I appall the backdrop of hate
Well there's no more food on the table
I once/What was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starry-eyed
You'd think that I would have known by now
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
Only time will tell
One thing is sure
That time will tell
Only time will tell
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die
Now sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lying's over
Gone, like the tears that used to tide me over
You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
Only time will tell
I see it now, become so clear
Only time will tell
Your insincerity
And me all starry-eyed
You'd think that I would have known by now
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
Only time will tell
You're on your own inside your room
Only time will tell
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now
Only time will tell
One thing is sure...

Hey guys...
This one has been drifting in and out of my mind lately...when I find my life's path shifting irreversibly, I'm sometimes awash in thoughts of regret and melancholy over the "what ifs", and this one is a beautifully haunting ode to those thoughts...
It was raining hard in 'Frisco,
I needed one more fare to make my night.
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down,
She got in at the light.
Oh, where you going to, my lady blue,
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain.
She just looked out the window, and said
"Sixteen Parkside Lane."
Something about her was familiar
I could swear I'd seen her face before,
But she said "I'm sure you're mistaken"
And she didn't say anything more.
It took a while, but she looked in the mirror,
And she glanced at the license for my name.
A smile seemed to come to her slowly,
It was a sad smile, just the same.
And she said, "How are you Harry?"
I said, "How are you Sue?
Through the too many miles
and the too little smiles
I still remember you."
It was somewhere, in a fairy tale,
I used to take her home in my car.
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge,
The lesson hadn't gone too far.
You see, she was gonna be an actress,
And I was gonna learn to fly.
She took off to find the footlights,
And I took off to find the sky.
Oh, I've got something inside me,
To drive a princess blind.
There's a wild man, wizard,
He's hiding in me, illuminating my mind.
Oh, I've got something inside me
Not what my life's about,
Cause I've been letting my outside
Tide me over 'till my time runs out.
Baby's so high that she's skying,
Yes she's flying, afraid to fall.
I'll tell you why baby's crying,
Cause she's dying, aren't we all.
There was not much more for us to talk about,
Whatever we had once was gone.
So I turned my cab into the driveway,
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns.
And she said "We must get together",
but I knew it'd never be arranged.
And she handed me twenty dollars,
For a two fifty fare, she said
"Harry, keep the change."
Well another man might have been angry,
And another man might have been hurt,
But another man never would have let her go...
I stashed the dough in my shirt.
And she walked away in silence,
Strange, how you never know,
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for,
Such a long, long time ago.
You see, she was gonna be an actress,
And I was gonna learn to fly.
She took off to find the footlights,
And I took off for the sky.
And here, she's acting happy,
Inside her handsome home.
And me, I'm flying in my taxi,
Taking tips, and getting stoned.
I go flying, so high, when I'm stoned...
--Harry Chapin, "Taxi"
Good thread, Sweetpea...and Stasis, good call on The Connells-I love those guys...
 
Song of the day..
""well the satellite comes and goes
we give each other all we know
in silence we still talk
by the light of the stereo waltz
and will you rain down
in your cinematic love truck
I want to hold you like nothing's going to stop us
she come to take me away
its all that I needed
I don't breathe another lover
flicker on a T.V. screen
everything's more than it seems
the mighty backward fall
stare at the lights on the wall
I swear to this
she felt like velvet
second blond child she meant it
she come to take me away
its all that I needed
I don't breathe another lover
I'm an alien
you're an alien
it's a beautiful rain
beautiful rain
beautiful rain"
Bush-Alien
 
Damn, that Linda Evangelista can sing!
I won't let you down
I will not give you up
gotta have some faith in the sound
it's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
so please don't give me up
because I would really, really love to stick around
heaven knows I was just a young boy
didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirls pride and joy
and I guess it was enough for me
to win the race? a prettier face!
brand new clothes and a big fat place
on your rock and roll TV
but today the way I play the game is not the same
no way
think I'm gonna get me some happy
I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I told you so
there's something deep inside of me
there's someone else I've got to be
take back your picture in a frame
take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
sometimes the clothes do not make the man
all we have to do now
is take these lies and make them true somehow
all we have to see
is that I don't belong to you
and you don't belong to me
freedom
you've gotta give for what you take
freedom
you've gotta give for what you take
heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
what a kick just a buddy and me
we had every big-shot goodtime band on the run boy
we were living in a fantasy
we won the race
got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
for the boys on MTV
but today the way I play the game has got to change
oh yeah
now I'm gonna get myself happy
I think there's somethig youshould know
I think it's time I stopped the show
there's something deep inside of me
there's someone I forgot to be
take back your picture in a frame
take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
sometimes the clothes do not make the man
all we have to do now
is take these lies and make them true somehow
all we have to see
is that I don't belong to you
and you don't belong to me
freedom
you've gotta give for what you take
freedom
you've gotta give for what you take
well it looks like the road to heaven
but it feels like the road to hell
when I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
posing for another picture
everybody's got to sell
but when you shake your ass
they notice fast
and some mistakes were build to last
that's what you get
I say that's what you get
that's what you get for changing your mind
and after all this time
I just hope you understand
sometimes the clothes do not make the man
I'll hold on to my freedom
may not be what you want from me
just the way it's got to be
lose the face now
I've got to live

Alright, I've got Digweed turned way up but Tom Petty (Tom Petty?)in my head...and there's not a a reason in the world to feel positive about anything, but for some reason I just do - so I think this fits :)

You Don't Know How It Feels
Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me
People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream
So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me
My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I've got a little space to fill
So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I got to go
And you don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me
 
Imperfectly-VerucaSalt
Can I help it if I'm not neat
If there were creeps before you
How can I help you if I am weak
If I don't know how to help me
But I love you. I love you
Imperfect
I love you
Imperfect
Can I help it if I'm high strung
If I was born with a sharp tongue
Will you marry me if I stay sweet
If I am the one with the cold feet
But I love you, I love you
Imperfect
I love you
Imperfect
