Lyrics that appeal to you today v 11.0

The Eels-Manchild
And you every time you crave for me, I'm here
And everything you hunger for, I'll share
And I will be quietly standing by
While slowly I am dying inside
Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel
Like I am a child in love
Every time I talk to you, you're down
And every time you need a laugh, I'm around
And when you forget I'm here, I'm not
It isn't really me that you forgot
Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel
Like I am a child in love
Whisper now, and tell me how
You'll watch me, and tell me
Somehow I'm gonna be alright
and i have more than likely posted this before, but its one of my favorites. so. yeah.
alkaline trio-bleeder
You came to me like a dream
The kind that always leaves
Just as the best part starts
It ends so abruptly
And leaves you stunned and naked
In your bedroom all alone
It's kinda funny how something so soothing
Gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone
And you broke me like the cigarette
That I busted on the day I quit
But now that i've been drinking
I'm out of smokes and I wish that I had it
Woke up to my daily headache
And the realization that you are gone
Oh my sweet darling happiness
You've been away from me all along
One thing that I've never said-
I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
A lonely liver suspended in liquid
You came to me like a dream
The kind that always leaves,
Just as the best part starts
It ends so abruptly
And leaves you stunned and naked
In your bedroom all alone
It's kinda funny how something so soothing
Gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone
One thing that I've never said-
I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
A lonely liver suspended in liquid
It's one thing that I never did was smile
Missing a case - lacking a lid
My heart bleeds for what you never did
You never did
For what you never did
Never did
For what you never did
Never did, never did, never did
You never did, you never did
It's one thing that I've never said-
I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
A lonely liver suspended in liquid
It's one thing that I never did was smile
Missing a case - lacking a lid
My heart bled for what you never did until now
 
Bright Eyes - I'm sorry for being such a crappy friend
you came to me yesterday, and you were feeling small
and you come to me today
'cause no one seems to like your style at all.
and you'll be back tomorrow when you've had it up to here
but you know, (i hope you know)
that when it's you and me there is no fear
and why is the bad so much easier to believe?
we've both admitted this, so how can it still persist?
and if it should come down to: "One of us has to leave"
i promise that it won't be you
no, it won't be you
and it won't be me.

AmorRoark: Whenever I hear the line "When the rain washes you clean you'll know.... Thank goodness for Stevie! :)
Hazey Jane I
-Nick Drake
Do you curse where you come from,
Do you swear in the night
Will it mean much to you
If I treat you right.
Do you like what you're doing,
Would you do it some more
Or will you stop once and wonder
What you're doing it for.
Hey slow Jane, make sense
Slow, slow, Jane, cross the fence.
Do you feel like a remnant
Of something that's past
Do you find things are moving
Just a little too fast.
Do you hope to find new ways
Of quenching your thirst,
Do you hope to find new ways
Of doing better than your worst.
Hey slow Jane, let me prove
Slow, slow Jane, we're on the move.
Do it for you,
Sure that you would do the same for me one day.
So try to be true,
Even if it's only in your hazey way.
Can you tell if you're moving
With no mirror to see,
If you're just riding a new man
Looks a little like me.
Is it all so confusing,
Is it hard to believe
When the winter is coming
Can you sign up and leave.
Hey slow Jane, live your lie
Slow, slow jane, fly on by.

So I never lose them.
darker :: the doves
Black snow
Freeze my throat
It numbs my soul
Eats me whole to pick me up
That's when you know
You're free to go
You caught a jones
Makes me old before I'm old
It's all in love, deep inside I go
In love, the less I seem to know
In love
That snow, numbs my throat
It leaves me dry, leaves me dry
Leaves me barely whole
Down to the wire, the rotten cold
You caught a cold
Like so many times before
It's all in love, deep inside I go
In love, the less I seem to know
In love...
 
Fav songs today - 2 of em - both to do in one way or another with how you feel when you are in love, or falling in love ? But the twist is they celebrate the fact that there must still be a strong individual person involved in any healthy relationship.
These songs are both by Byork - someone for who english is a not her mother tongue... yet she manages to communicate some really important things to me.
************
Byork - 5 yrs
To me this song says that love is something you can only give to another if you are a strong individual yourself. That a person giving true intimacy is actually more in control than pop culture would have us believe - that they are so much stronger and braver than a person hiding from true intimacy.
Byork - 5 yrs
************
Think your denying me of something
well i got plenty
your the one who's missing out
but you won't notice
till after 5 yrs
if you live that long
you'll wake up - all loveless
i dare you - to take me on
i dare you - to show me your palms
i'm so bored with cowards
that say they want
and then they can't handle
you can't handle
you can't handle love
you just can't handle
i dare you - to take me on
i dare you - to show me your palms
whats so scary
not a threat in sight
you can't handle
you can't handle love
you just can't handle love
**********
Byork - Hyperballad
This song is about someone in an important relationship with another. The metaphor of the cliff to me represents the fact that in any relationship the other person has the power to hurt you. The relationship itself is the mountain she speaks of.
By throwing meaningless things off the cliff, watching what happens and thinking about what would happen to her this person is demonstrating they understand the risks they are exposing themselves to by trusting another person in an intimate relationship.
And by facing these the risk and acknowledging them, they can be without fear in their relationship.
Byork - Hyperballad
***************
we live on a mountain
right at the top
this beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning
i walk towards the edge
and through little things off
like car parts, bottles and cutlery
whatever i find lying around
its become a habit
a way to start the day
i go through all this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe again with you
It early morning
no one is awake
i'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
i listen to the sounds they make on there way down
i follow with my eyes till they crash
i imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks
and when it lands will my eyes be open or closed
i go through all this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe again with you

^^^Hyperballad is one of my favorite all-time songs. Something in her voice when she's singing it always makes me pause in my day. (And not to be a pain ;) , but it's Bjork, with a "j"...).
She really is incredible!!!! Thank you for posting this. :)

you just reminded me of this song. its not much lyrically, but the way she sounds...it makes me wanna cry every time.
Sade - By Your Side
You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if only you could see into me
Ohh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
When you're on the outside
Baby, and you can't get in
I would show you
You're so much better than you know
When you're lost, you're alone
Can't get back again
I will find you
Darlin' and I'll bring you home
And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes (ooh)
You know time
You'll be fine
You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh
And if only you could see into me
Ohh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me (to me, yeah)
Ohh, when you're alone
I'll be there
By your side, baby
Ohh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me (to me, yeah)
Ohh, when you're alone
I'll be there
By your side, baby
-----------------------------------
and then these two are like, how i feel today...which is rather frustrating...
massive attack-protection
This girl I know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don't want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
And you can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her
I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
You're a boy and i'm a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And I don't have no fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
You've got a baby of your own
When your baby's gone, she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
You're a girl and i'm a boy
Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
And I've leaned on me for years
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love, that's the way it should be
Now I can't change the way you feel
But I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel
I'll put my arms around you
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
You're a boy and i'm a girl
----------------------------
foo fighters-walking after you
Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two, I'm on your back
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two, I'm on your back
 
Furnace: yeah i do know of the replicants :) theyre not bad eh. lately ive been checking out anything i can find with Ken Andrews in it, coz Failure are one of my favorite bands, so i know of the Replicants, and On, and Year of the Rabbit (i cant wait for their cd to come out, all ive heard so far is the song Hunted and some bootlegs, but they sound hell good!!)
ive been addicted to this song today, it makes me feel meloncholy and kinda lost, but in a peaceful way that i really like:
How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead
That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
 
Yesterday had highs and lows.

U2 - With or without you
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait..
..without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised,
She's got me with
Nothing left to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
 
Oh I'm all about some Sade. Hi Mini!! :)
From Love Deluxe (same album as No Ordinary Love):
-Bullet Proof Soul
I was so in love with you
You rarely see a love that's true
Wasn't that enough for you
Wasn't that enough for you
I would climb a mountain
I wouldn't want to see you fall
Rock climb for you
And give you a reason for it all
You kept on thinking
You were the only one
Too busy thinking
Love is a gun
Hit me like a slow bullet
Like a slow bullet
It took me some time to realize it
You kept on thinking
You were the only one
Too busy thinking
Love is a gun
I know the end before
The story's been told
It's not that complicated
But you're gonna need a bullet proof soul
You kept on thinking
You were the only one
Too busy thinking
Love is a gun
I know the end before
The story's been told
It's not that complicated
But you're gonna need a bullet proof soul
You were trigger happy baby
You never warned me let me free
It's not that complicated
But you're going to need a bullet proof soul
Think you got it but you got all the trouble you need
I came in like a lamb
But I intend to leave like a lion
It hit me like a slow bullet
It hit me like a slow bullet
-Sade
 
^^^ Hmmm, Sade. Now that is rainy-day, staying-in music if I've ever heard it. Hey Stase. :D
Money Can't Buy It
-Annie Lennox
Money can't buy it.. baby
Sex can't buy it.. baby
Drugs can't buy it.. baby
You can't buy it.. baby
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in love alone yea yea
Take the power to set you free
Kick down the door and throw away the key
Give up your needs... your poisoned seeds
Find yourself elected to a different kind of creed
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in the power of creation
I believe in good vibration
I believe in love alone
Won't somebody tell me what we're coming to
It might take forever till we watch those dreams come true
All the money in the world won't buy you peace of mind
You can have it all but you still won't be satisfied
Money can't buy it.. baby
Sex can't buy it.. baby
Drugs can't buy it.. baby
You can't buy it.. baby
Now... hear this
Pay attention to me
'Cause I'm a rich white girl and it's plain to see
I got every kind of thing that the money can buy
Let me tell you all about it
Let me amplify
I got DIAMONDS
You heard about those
I got so many that I can't close my safe at night
in the dark
Lying awake in a sick dream
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in the power of creation
I believe in good vibration
I believe in love alone

Victim Of The Paranoid-Six Feet Under
I can't take it anymore
Got me hiding from myself
They put me away long ago
Another P.O.W.
Lost my mind now twenty years
Let it slip - not too far gone
Can't go on another day
Freedom in this day and age
It's all just a fucking game
I'm not the criminal
I'm not the one to hate
Thrown away into the void
A victim of the paranoid
Victim of the paranoid - a victim of the paranoid
Victim of the paranoid - a victim of the paranoid
I feel like I'm living in another dimension
Misled minds keep on spreading confusion
Kill, kill, kill, I want to kill them all
And put an end to their fascist laws
Open - open your mind
Victim of the paranoid - a victim of the paranoid
Victim of the paranoid - a victim of the paranoid
It seems like such a waste of time
We all can't be this fucking blind
As I sit and wonder why
One more mind is locked inside
 
i am low today...but my thoughts are clear...
Dumb - Nirvana
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
my heart is broke
But I have some glue
help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover... have a hangover
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
 
Tori Amos
HAPPY PHANTOM
And if I die today I'll be the HAPPY Phantom
And I'll go chasin' the nuns out in the yard
And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
And I will never need umbrellas in the rain
I'll wake up in strawberry fields every day
And the atrocities of school I can forgive
The HAPPY phantom has no right to bitch
Oo who the time is getting close
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will we pay for who we been
So if I die today I'll be the HAPPY phantom
And I'll go wearin' my NAUGHTIES like a jewel
They'll be my ticket to the universal opera
There's Judy Garland taking Buddha by the hand
And then these seven little men get up to dance
they say Confucius does his crossword with a pen
I'm still the angel to a girl who hates to SIN
Oo who the time is getting close
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I been
Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back
You found a girl that you could TRULY love again
Will you still call for me when she falls asleep
Or do we soon forget the things we cannot see
Oo who the time is getting close
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I been
And if I die today
And if I die today
And if I die today
Chasin' the nuns out in the yard
 
I love this song...so hauntingly beautiful.
Lover, You Should've Come Over- Jeff Buckley
Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so
(you'll never know)
I'm broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no-one...
So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn oh
Will I ever see your sweet return,
oh/or, will I ever learn?
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.
Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
that will never come
It's never over,
my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles
when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over,
all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she is the tear
that hangs inside my soul forever
Maybe I'm just too young to keep good love
from going wrong
Oh... lover you should've come over...
'cause it's not too late...
I feel too young to hold on
I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind
to see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love I'm waiting [I waited] for you
Lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late
 
The Curtain - Phish
As he saw his life run away from him
Thousands ran along
Chanting words from a song:
"Please me, have no regrets."
Came from the, came from the
Baby's mouth
We follow the lines going South.
 
Sara Tonin: I heart the Buckley. Thank you.
Here's a little lilt with your angst...
The Smiths - Bigmouth strikes again
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head
Oh ... sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be
Bludgeoned in your bed
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her Walkman started to melt
Oh ...
Bigmouth, la ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh, bigmouth, la ... bigmouth, la
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her hearing aid started to melt
Bigmouth, la ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh ...
Bigmouth, oh ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh ...
Bigmouth, oh ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh ...
Bigmouth, oh ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh ...
 
this song is perfect for my feeling after last night.....
Fritz's Corner - Local H
I'm not mad
I'm just bored
And everything I do is only because
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you
Messing around with you
Piss away potential
Everyday is a waste
And I'm wasted everyday
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you - and that includes you
Messing around with you
You see me now a little bit clearer
the face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
- it gives me away
the things that I say
You think you know where I'm coming from
the words I say when I'm playing dumb
- it gives me away
- it gives me away
One more thing before we go
I've stepped over everyone I know
everyone I know
You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
- it gives me away
I'm always ashamed
and that's no way to be
