Lyrics that appeal to you today v 11.0

This is from Quadrophenia, a [somewhat] lesser-known rock opera from the Who (lesser known, of course, compared to Tommy).
Cut My Hair - The Who
Why should I care
If I got to cut my hair?
I got to move with the fashion
Or be outcast.
I know I should fight
But my old man he's really alright,
And I'm still living at home
(Even though it won't last.)
Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents
Five inches long.
I'm out on the street again
And I'm leaping along.
I'm dressed right for a beachfight,
But I just can't explain
Why that uncertain feeling is still
Here in my brain.
The kids at school
Have parents that seem so cool.
And though I don't want to hurt them
Mine want me their way.
I clean my room and my shoes
But my mother found a box of blues,
And there doesn't seem much hope
They'll let me stay.
Zoot suit, etc.
Why do I have to be different to them?
Just to earn the respect of a dance hall friend,
We have the same old row, again and again.
Why do I have to move with a crowd
Of kids that hardly notice I'm around,
I have to work myself to death just to fit in.
I'm coming down
Got home on the very first train from town.
My dad just left for work
He wasn't talking.
It's all a game,
'Cos inside I'm just the same,
My fried egg makes me sick
First thing in the morning.
 
A band I haven't listened to since the spring...
Mates of state - Clean out
Clean out your eyes
I never meant to be your disguise
So clean out your eyes
Covering is all just the same
Cover it, it's all just the same
You crucify every word that I say
Over and over
I couldn't hear a single word that was said
A stolid jest takes its times on the best
Crucify every word that I say
I could tell that you would never like it more
If I told you what you want
I can tell you what you want
I could tell that you would never like it more
If I told you what you want
I can tell you what you want
All words are lost
So clean out your eyes
I never meant to be your disguise
I only meant to widen your eyes
 
This song was one of the most comforting songs for me growing up and I am sure that most people can relate....
Travis "20"
Sure it's a gas
(We're) Stuck in an English class
Can't even dream
So it's hard to accept the role you're given
When you're sittin' there staring at the ceiling
Wishing you were so very far from here
When you're 13
What fors and whys
If he's got it why can't I
You're my queen
And I dream about you when I'm in my bed
And if all of these things are like you said
Then I'd rather be in another scene
When I'm 14
Just not fair
I'm not getting anywhere
Oh hard as a stone
They expect us to make it out alone
And they scream at us when we're on the phone
And they lecture us all about routine
When you're 15
Get out of here
You're crowding my tender years
Don't say you see
Cos you'd forgotten what it's like to be
And I'm sure that it's changed to some degree
Christ's advice ain't never as it seemed
When you're 16
Four years go
You've fallen before you know
You're now of age
And you're thrown in a different cage
And you're faced with another blank page
And I know I don't need to be told
oh....
 
Two songs that I originally posted in Lyrics that appeal...v 4.0/5.0
Julie Doiron- Sweeter
sure is nice to see you
you look good these days
but talking's not so easy
I wish I had more to say
and you turn away and I wonder
was it something I said
what can I do to make this change
what can I do to make this change
your smile is a sweetener
it really makes my day
and you get sweeter and sweeter
in every possible way
then you turn away and I wonder
was it something I said
and what can I do to make this change
and what can I do to make this change
it sure is nice to see you
you look good these days
but talking's not so easy
I wish I had more to say
and you turn away and I wonder
was it something I said
and you turn away and I wonder
was it something I said
what can I do to make this change?
what can I do to make this change?
what can I do to make this change?
what can I do to make this change?
Julie Doiron - The one you love
Take note of my staggered heart,
It’s gifted.
Good riddance to it,
anyway, to you.
And if I close my eyes…
Who needs a heart like mine?
Not you.
Who needs a body like mine?
Not you.
It’s over.
So over.
The man at the bar is asking me,
"what’s wrong? what’s wrong?"

"Two Voices" by Brian Eno
Two voices,
the one small
just a 10%
the other long and full
and capable of huge movements
(an all-terrain voice)
"Sweet dreams baby"
says the little voice
and snuggles me to its breast
"Thank you" booms mine
all inappropriate
and blind to the moment
blind to the moment
 
No Doubt
"Running"
(she did this acustic last nite.. it was great, made me cry)
Run
Running all the time
Running to the future
With you right by my side
Me
I'm the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the most
I'm so sorry that I'm falling
Help me up lets keep on running
Don't let me fall out of love
Running, running
As fast as we can
I really hope you make it
Do you think we'll make it?
We're running
Keep holding my hand
It's so we don't get separated

Be
Be the one I need
Be the one I trust most
Don't stop inspiring me
Sometimes it's hard to keep on running
We work so much to keep it going
Don't make me want to give up
========================================
"Marry Me"
I can't help that I like to be kissed
And I wouldn't mind if my name changed to Mrs.
This is one side, my conventional side
An attraction to tradition
My vintage disposition
My sincere architecture
And I want to cook him dinner
But I'm more indecisive than ever
And who believes in forever?
Who will be the one to marry me?
A girl in the world barking up the wrong tree
A creature conditioned to employ matrimony
Crumbling continuity, I pick up the pieces
The ceremony makes me zealous
As the past quickly ceases
Fear from being neutered
I'm now prude, now defensive
Quickly I'm altered and tempted by new love only rented
Do you believe you'll marry me?
You might be the one to marry me
Back, looking back, looking back at me
I'm not how I used to be
Take me back, take me back into history
Diamond ring, tie me down just like it used to be

Who will be the one to marry me?
 
A minor incident - Badly Drawn Boy
There's nothing i could say to make you try and feel ok
And nothing you could do to stop me feeling the way i do
And if the chance should happen that i never see you again
Just remember that i'll always love you
I'd be a better person on the other side i'm sure
You'd find a way to help yourself
Then find another door
To shrug off minonr incidents
Make us both feel proud
I'd just wish i be there to see u through
You always were the one to make us stand out in the crowd
Though every once apon a while your head was in a cloud
There's nothing u could never do to ever let me down
And remember that ill always love you
 
good one, strange.
New Foo Fighters came out this week. Their first single rocks out.
Foo Fighters - All my life
All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost
Come down don't you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my grip
Will I find something in that
So give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I've got nothing to hide
On and on I've got nothing to hide
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
AND I'M DONE, DONE AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT ONE
AND I'M DONE, DONE AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT ONE
AND I'M DONE, DONE AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT ONE
AND I'M DONE, DONE AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT ONE
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down
DONE DONE AND ON TO THE NEXT ONE
DONE I'M DONE AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT.
 
Mythical Kings and Iguanas - Dory Previn
i have flown
to star-stained heights
on bent and battered wings
in search of
mythical kings
mythical kings
sure that everything of worth
is in the sky and not the earth
and i never learned
to make my way
down
down
down
where the iguanas play
i have ridden
comet tails
in search of magic rings
to conjure
mythical kings
mythical kings
singing scraps of angel-song
high is right and low is wrong
i never taught
myself to give
down
down
down
where the iguanas live
astral walks i try to take
i sit and throw i ching
aesthetic bards
and tarot cards
are the cords to which i cling
don't break my strings
(i wish you would)
or i will fall
(i wish i could
i wish i could
i wish i could)
curse the mind
that mounts the clouds
in search of mythical kings
and only
mystical things
mystical things
cry for the soul
that will not face
the body as an equal place
and i never learned
to touch for real
or fell the things
iguanas feel
 
furnace - that song would be so much better, if they did the chorus better. but the beginning is awesome!
This is where i got my BL handle from. I love Pete.
Strange Condition - Pete Yorn
Read me the letter, baby,
Do not leave out the words.
Stories and cigarettes ruined lives of lesser girls,
And I wanna know,
‘Cause I want you to know,
And it’s a strange condition,
A day in prison,
It’s got me out of my head
And I don’t know what I came for.
Send me the money, baby,
Do not leave out the wage.
You know you’re the best thing ever
To come out of this place,
Hey I want you to know,
‘Cause I wanna know
So leave out the others, baby,
Say I’m the only one,
Cut out the uniforms
And settle with the sun,
Hey I want you to know,
‘Cause I wanna know,
And it’s a strange condition,
And life in prison,
It’s got me outta my head
And I don’t know what I came for,
I want you to know...
 
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny Dancer in my hand.
Jesus freaks, out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes a stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tunes she hums
But oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer Tiny Dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer Tiny Dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny Dancer in my hand.
But oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer Tiny Dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today.
Hold me closer Tiny Dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today.
~*~Tiny Dancer/Elton John~*~
 
Because I'm burnt too.
Finch :: What it is to Burn
Today's on fire
The sky is bleeding above me, and I am blistered
I walk these lines of blasphemy, every day
And still...
Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn
I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy, from the sun
The sky's still fire
But I am safe in here, from the world outside
So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory
Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn
Today is fine, and she burns
Today is fine, and she burns
She burns
Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn
 
RADIOHEAD "Let Down"
Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it's so so disappointing
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and ...
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Let down again
Let down again
Let down again
You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day....
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and...
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
 
wow, there are some great songs in this thread :)
the juliana theory
"is patience still waiting"
will there ever be time enough?
or are we just too naive?
i haven't just given up
oh god, i still believe.
is patience still waiting?
will i wait on my knees too?
are you laughing at us today?
and is this just one big game?
now cash me in while you can
we never were the same
is patience still waiting?
Will I wait on my knees too?
come on...
will you ever have all you want?
and are we just next in line?
don't throw out your one good chance
you only have this time.
 
I talked to an old friend of mine last night, and this topic was mentioned...
U2 - Pride (in the name of love)
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
(nobody like you...)
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
 
^^^^^^
great song furnace.....
My good friends favorite band. My fav U2 song (lyricially speaking)
Summer rain - U2
When you stop seeing beauty
You start growing old
The lines on your face
are a map to your soul
When you stop taking chances
You'll stay where you sit
You won't live any longer
But it'll feel like it
I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
In the summer rain
Tequila and Orange
Jamaica and rum
At the Morella
Honey on my tongue
In a small boat on a generous sea
You let me be your enemy
Tiny hand
With a grip on the world
Holding our breath now
Diving for pearls
I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself
Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
Now there's no one else
In the summer rain
Raining down
Raining down
Rain
Raining now
Raining now
Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself
Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself
It's not why you're running
It's where you're going
It's not what you're dreaming
But what you're gonna do
It's not where you're born
It's where you belong
It's not how weak
But what will make you strong

Sade - No ordinary love
I gave you all the love I've got I gave you more than I could give
Gave you love
I gave you all that I had inside and you took my love
You took my love
Didn't I tell you?
What I believe
Did somebody say that?
A love like ours will last
Didn't I give you all that I got to
Give, Babe
I give you all the love I got I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I give you all that I had inside and you took my love
You took my love
I keep trying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like
You and I
Baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
(Ordinary)
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
(Ordinary love)
When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile
Ahh
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
Love like ours wont' last
Didn't I give you all that I got to
Give, baby
This is no ordinary love
Ordinary love
(Ordinary)
This is no ordinary love
Ordinary love
(Ordinary love)
I keep trying
I keep trying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like
You and I
Baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
Ordinary love
Keep crying for you
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you

Foo Fighters - Everlong
Hello, I've waited here for you, everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into and out of the red, out of her head she
sang
Come down and waste away with me, down with me
Slow how, you wanted it to be, I'm over my head, out of her head she
sang
And I wonder when I sing along with you if everything could ever feel
this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when she sang
Breathe out, so I can breathe you in, hold you in
And now, I know you've always been out of your head, out of my head I
sang
And I wonder when I sing along with you if everything could ever feel
this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when she sang
And I wonder if everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

My story is much to sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
Then I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
Some like the perfume from Spain
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
But I get a kick out of you
Some like the bop-type refrain
I'm sure that if, I heard even one riff
It would bore me terrifically too
But I get a kick out of you
Some they may go for cocaine
I'm sure that if, I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
But I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see, you obviously do not adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you
Cole Porter/I Get A Kick Out Of You
 
This song still makes me teary eyed sometimes
Jets To Brazil - Starry Configurations
Starry configurations am just a receiver
divine recombinations am just a recordist
receptionist - unhappy medium receptionst - unhappy medium
excellent accomodations am just a bellboy
beautiful surroundings am just some gravel
or peat moss, what have you
or peat moss, what have you now?
why must you treat me like you do?
don't you know it's all for you
dear infatuation, you do not see me
die here beside you in see-through obscurity
governess, fancy less, we'll sound the alarm
and drum up some simpleton for you to eat these apples from your eyes
emptiness fills room
you love's bud goes full bloom
you don't love me aren't thinking of me
why am i waiting for you to see i'm alive
storybook ending am just a ledger
hardly worth a mention or the paper it's written on
and cried upon
and kissed once by wax
but still you treat me like you do
with everything i've done for you
striking like a bird of prey
along you notepad now
the only ear that turns your way
my dear diary: it's just you and me tonight
