"Its probably cause we mixed it"

Title: House of Balloons – Glass Table Girls
Album: House of Balloons
Artist: The Weeknd


Been on another level
Since you came
No more pain
Look into my eyes
You can’t recognize my face
You’re my beloved*
You can stay
You can stay
But you belong to me
Moving on to me

If it hurts, to breathe
Open the window
All of mine, goes to me
What you came for

This is, a happy house
We’re happy here
In a happy house
Oh this is, fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, fun (oh)

Music got you lost
Nights ends so much quicker than the days did
Same pulls, you ain’t ready for your day shift
This place will burn you up
Baby it’s okay, them my niggas next door
They be working in the traps
So get louder if you want
Just don’t blame it on me
That he didn’t call your home
Just don’t blame it on me girl
Because you wanted to have fun

If it hurts, to breathe
Open the window
All of mine, goes to me
What you came for

This is a happy house
We’re happy here
In a happy house
Oh this is fun
This if fun for me

[Enter: Glass Table Girls]

Bring the 707 out
Bring the 707 out
Bring the 707 out
The 707 out
The 707 out
The 7

Two puffs for the lady who be down for that
Whatever, together
Bring your whole stash of the greatest
Trade it, roll it up, burn it up, cough it up, taste it
Now watch us chase it
With a handful of pills, no chasers
Jaw clenching on some super-sized papers
She bad in her headband, escaping, van is a wonderland
And it’s half-past six
Read stars cause time don’t exist
And when the stars shine back to the crib
Superstar lines back at the crib
And we can test out the tables
Got some brand new tables
All glass and it’s four feet wide
But it’s a must to get us ten feet high
She give me sex in a handbag
I got her wetter than a wet nap
And no closed doors
So I listen to her moans echo
“I heard he do drugs now”
You heard wrong, I been on it for a minute
We just never act a fool
That’s just how we fuckin’ live it
And when we act a fool
Its probably cause we mixed it
Yeah I’m always on that okey dokey
Them white boys know the deal
Ain’t no fucking phony
Big O know the deal
He the one who showed me
Watch me ride this fucking beat
Like he fucking told me
Is that your girl, what’s her fuckin’ story?
She kind of bad, but she ride it like a fucking pony
Knock her down
Know her man be so fucking sorry
Yeah I’m talking ’bout you man
Get to know me
Ain’t no offence though
I promise you
If you a real man dude you gone’ side the truth
But I’m a nice dude, with some nice dreams
And we could turn this to a nightmare on Elm Street

La la la la la la la la
I’m so gone so gone
Bring out the glass tables
Whip the 707 out

La la la la la la la la
I’m so gone, so gone
Bring out the glass tables
With the 707 now

La la la la la la la la
I’m so gone, so gone
Bring out the glass tables
Bring the seven on seven now

La la la la la la la la
I’m so gone, so gone
Bring out the glass tables
With the 707 out

La la la la la la la la
707 out

La la la la la la la la
707 out

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Sensitive boy, good with his hands, no-one mentions the unmentionable but everybody understands...

Il Adore by Boy George. On his album, called Cheapness and Beauty. He wrote it for the musical Taboo. It is about the late great Leigh Bowery. It's just the one line I keep hearing in my head but the song speaks to me of tenderness, love, loss and grief. Very personal.
 
This thread needs more poetry. Was debating between this Buk gem and a Hughes poem. Maybe next time, Langston.

Betting on the Muse by Charles Bukowski

Jimmy Foxx died an alcoholic
in a skidrow hotel
room.
Beau Jack ended up shining
shoes,
just where he
began.
there are dozens, hundreds
more, maybe
thousands more.
being an athlete grown old
is one of the cruelest of
fates,
to be replaced by others,
to no longer hear the
cheers and the
plaudits,
to no longer be
recognized,
just to be an old man
like other old
men.

to almost not believe it
yourself,
to check the scrapbook
with the yellowing
pages,
there you are,
smiling;
there you are,
victorious; there you are,
young.

the crowd has other
heroes.
the crowd never
dies,
never grows
old
but the crowd often
forgets.

now the telephone
doesn't ring,
the young girls are
gone,
the party is
over.

this is why I chose
to be a
writer.
if you're worth just
half-a-damn
you can keep your
hustle going
until the last minute
of the last
day.
you can keep
getting better instead
of worse,
you can still keep
hitting them over the
wall.

through darkness, war,
good and bad
luck
you keep it going,
hitting them out,
the flashing lightning
of the
word,
beating life at life,
and death too late to
truly win
against
you.
 
"If I Ever Leave This World Alive" by Flogging Molly:

If I ever leave this world alive
I`ll thank for the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I`ll come back and sit beside your feet tonight
Where ever I`m you`ll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive

If I ever leave this world alive
I`ll take on all the sadness
That I left behind
If I ever leave this world alive
The madness that you feel will soon subside
So in a word don`t shed a tear
I`ll be here when it all gets weird
If I ever leave this world alive

So when in doubt just call my name
Just before you go insane
If I ever leave this world alive
Hey I may never leave this world alive
But if I ever leave this world alive

She says I`m okay; I`m all right,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would
Now everything should be alright

She says I`m okay; I`m all right,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would
Now everything should be alright
Yeah should be alright...

"Three days was the morning.
My focus three days old.
My head, it landed
To the sounds of cricket bows...

I am proud man anyway...
Covered now by three days...

Three ways was the morning.
Three lovers, in three ways.
We knew when she landed,
Three days she'd stay.

I am a proud man anyway...
Covered now by three days...

We saw shadows of the morning light
the shadows of the evening sun
till the shadows and the light were one.

Shadows of the morning light
the shadows of the evening sun
till the shadows and the light were one...

True hunting is over.
No herds to follow.
Without game, men prey on each other.
The family weakens by the bite we swallow...

True leaders gone,
Of land and people.
We choose no kin but adopted strangers.
The family weakens by the length we travel...

All of us with wings...
All of us with wings...
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!

Erotic Jesus lays with his Marys.
Loves his Marys.
Bits of puzzle,
Fitting each other.

All now with wings!

Oh my Marys!
Never wonder...
Night is shelter
For nudity's shiver...

All now with wings..."

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

Babybird - Unloveable.

For times when I look back... when I know I shouldn't.

I’ve tried
And you’ve tried
You’ve cried
And I’ve cried
I’ve lied
And you’ve lied
Together we’ve died
But sometimes
Sometimes it gotta stop

I’m cold when you’re cold
I’m warm when you’re warm
We were friends
We’re still friends
That’s all
That’s all
That’s all

You can’t love me
I’m unloveable
But baby you could try
It’s all good, it’s not bad
It’s all smiles, it’s not sad
There’s just time to stop love
Love’s gone, move on
Life’s long

You can’t love me
I’m unloveable
But baby you could try
Sha la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la
Sha la

Love’s so sweet it suffocates us
Like a sickly kindly gag
And we’re floating down the sewer pipe
Like kittens in a bag
And the mirror screams to both of us
That we are not alone
Then the metaphors explode
And suddenly we’re home

You can’t love me
I’m unloveable
But baby you could try
I can’t love you
You’re so loveable
But baby let me try

You can’t love me
I’m unloveable
But baby you could try
I can’t love you
You’re so loveable
But baby let me try
 
Jet - Shine On <3

Please don't cry
You know I'm leaving here tonight
Before I go I want you to know there will always be a light

And if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away

So many times I'd planned
To be much more than who I am
And if I let you down
I will follow you 'round
Until you understand...

That if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away

When the days all feel the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
I will shine on
For everyone

So please don't cry
Although I leave you here this night
Where ever I may go how far I don't know
But I will always be your light

And if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away

When the days all seem the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
I will shine on
For everyone
Shine on
For everyone

When the stars all look the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
I will shine on
For everyone
I will shine on
For everyone
 
Morrissey - Friday Mourning <3

Friday mourning, I'm dressed in black
Douse the houselights, I'm not coming back
For years I warned you
Through tears, I told you

Friday mourning
There comes a time
Before that breaks
This very smug mug of mine

This dawn raid soon put paid to
All the things I'd whispered to you at night time
And I will never stand naked in front of you
Or if I do, it won't be for a long time

Look once to me just once to me
Look once to me then look away

And when they hold me down the hall
And when they kick me down the stairs
I see the faces all lined up before me

Of teachers and of parents and bosses
Who all share a point of view
You are a loser, you are a loser, loser

Loser, loser
Loser

Friday, Friday mourning
Dressed in black
I won't be coming back

Friday, Friday mourning
Dressed in black
I won't be coming back

Friday, Friday mourning
Friday, Friday, Friday
 
You may not believe it
But I don't believe in miracles anymore
And when I think about it
I don't believe I ever did for sure
All the things I've said in songs
All the purple prose you bought from me
Reality's just black and white
The sentimental things I'd write
Never meant that much to me

I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles heading west
Picking up my pain from door to door
Riding on the storyline
Furnace burning overtime
But this train don't stop,
This train don't stop,
This train don't stop there anymore

You don't need to hear it
But I'm dried up and sick to death of love
If you need to know it
I never really understood that stuff
All the stars and bleeding hearts
All the tears that welled up in my eyes
Never meant a thing to me
Read 'em as they say and weep
I've never felt enough to cry

When I said that I don't care
It really means my engine's breaking down
The chisel chips my heart again
The granite cracks beneath my skin
I crumble into pieces on the ground
 
For a Friend - The Communards (for Paula. R.I.P Sleep tight xxx)

I never cried the way I cried over you
As I put down the telephone and the world it carried on
Somewhere else, someone else is crying too
Another man has lost a friend, I bet he feels the way I do
Although Im left without, I know your love within
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
All the memories of you come rushing back to me
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
All I want to do Id kiss you goodbye

Summer comes and I remember how wed march
Wed march for love and peace, together arm in arm
Tears have turned, turned to anger and contempt
Ill never let you down, a battle I have found
And all the dreams we had, I will carry on
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
All the memories of you come rushing back to me
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
All I want to do Id kiss you once goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

And all the dreams we had, I will carry on
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
All the memories of you come rushing back to me
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
All I want to do Id kiss you once goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
 
"Drunken And Tearful" - Alisha's Attic

Here I am, there he is
I'm oh - so sad, feels like I've got no blood in my veins
You're so far away, like Venus and Mars
The girl with the violent smile is undressing for you
Don't think about it, don't think about it
What a weirdo thought, I confess to myself
Drunken and tearful, I pine for you
Are you having fun, are you thinking of me?
Drunken and tearful again,
(yeah-yea-h-h-h)
(oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo)

I dare my self, don't think of him
I try and try, but the bandage shrinks to my head size again
Insane you say, in love I reply
The girl with the intense smile lays down for you
Don't think about it, don't think about it

What a weirdo thought, I laugh to myself
Drunken and tearful, I pine for you
Are you having fun, do you think about me?
Drunken and tearful again
(na-naa-naa)
(oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo)

Drunken and tearful
(oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo)
(oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo)

Drunken and tearful
(oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo)

(na na na, na na na, na na na...)

Kenickie - "Acetone"

Faster faster on your feet
You have to dodge the sick stains on the street
Blow your dust into my mouth
I'll lick my lips and take it like a man

I would like another way to breathe
Keep my eyes wide open in my sleep
Cos when I'm under water
You keep me under glass

Come on baby you're the one
Bus station seats where we have all our fun
Put this ring in your good hand
Explain it in a way you'll understand

Keep me warm
You keep me cold
And rest your head in my blue bones
And as I spit my dying wish
You're listening to something else

I would like another way to breathe
Keep my eyes wide open in my sleep
Cos when I'm under water
You keep me under glass

Lenzman - Open Page (ft. Riya)

We're in this thing together
Neither one of us pretends
Naturally progressing
And we'll be here till the end

Afraid of what I feel and see
But doing what just comes to me
That was then, and this is now
We're gonna get through this, somehow

I can't just turn pages over baby
I don't like what it's doing to me
Words don't seem to heal me lately
My broken heart needs healing, yeah

Can't just, turn the pages, over..
 
Arab Strap: The Shy Retirer

Another bloated disco, another sniff of romance I'll forget
We promised to ourselves before we came out we'd do something we regret
These people are your friends
This cunted circus never ends
I won't remember anything you say

I lost my social skills a while ago but now I feel them coming back
My eyes were rolling when we met and now they are preparing for attack
I want to fall in love tonight and form the perfect unbreakable bond
You can be my teenage Jenny Agutter, swimming naked in a pond
You know I'm always moaning
But you jump-start my serotonin
How d'you know you've ever really loved?

But when I feel like this, I know it doesn't matter
When I eat when I'm not hungry I'm sure I feel my face get fatter
Then I thin out every weekend and I think that she might want me
but I always slip off my own 'cos...

I let those feelings haunt me, they control me, but tonight I'm letting go
You're more then just a photo album, you're more than what some people let you know
And if we ever make it home, I'll tell you all the things that shaped me thus;
Something forged in a phonebox but lost in a restaurant we've got so much to discuss

Here, have you tried the blue ones?
I hear he's got some new ones
Sleep is not an option tonight

Look at us just stand and stare
Look at them just pose and pout
And we'll all be standing here
Until the pigs chuck us out

*Dedicated to every foot soldier of the lost infantry of bullshit conversationalists I spent times with when recreational drugs were properly beautiful. Why did we let ourselves grow up?*
 
"Return To Oz" - Scissor Sisters

Its three o' clock in the morning
You get a phone call from the queen with a hundred heads
She says that they're all dead
She tried the last one on
It couldn't speak, fell off
And now she just wanders the halls
Thinking nothing, thinking nothing at all

She says is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
There's a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town

The wheelies are cutting pavement
and the Skeksis at the rave meant
to hide deep inside
their sunken faces
and their wild, rolling eyes
But their callous words reveal
That they can no longer feel
Love or sex appeal
The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal

To return to Oz we've fled the world
With smiles and clenching jaws
Please help me friend from coming down
I've lost my place and now it can't be found
Is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
There's a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town
 
Last lyrics I'll be posting for a while I think. I need to stop trying to express my thoughts on life through other people's words and use my own. God only knows I've got enough of them.

"Through The Dark" - KT Tunstall


As I walk away
I look over my shoulder
To see what I'm leaving behind

Pieces of puzzles
And
Wishes on eyelashes fail

Oooooh!
How do I show all the love
Inside my heart

Well this is all new
And I'm feeling my way through the dark

And I used to talk
With honest conviction
Of how I predicted my world
I'm gonna leave it to to star gazers
Tell me what your telescope says

Oh what is in store for me now?
It's coming apart

I know that it's true
'cause I'm feeling my way through the dark

Try to find a light on somewhere
Try to find a light on somewhere
I'm finding I'm falling in love with the dark over here

Oh oh what do I know I don't care
Where I start

For my troubles are few
As I'm feeling my way through the dark
Through the dark
I'm feeling my way through the dark
