Lyrics that appeal to you today v. 14

[Queen Beat]

I'm sorry for starting the new one...but this song is really important to me and the old thread was probably going to close soon.
This is for apollo. I love you so much.
Leonardo's Bride - Even when I'm sleeping
Don't be confused by my apparant lack of ceremony, my mind is clear.
I may be low or miles off in the distance
I want you near.
I love you
Even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes you're everywhere
And if they take me flying on the magic carpet, see me wave
If our communication fails I'll reconnect it, I want to rave
I love you
Even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes you're everywhere
No matter where the road is leading us, remember don't be afraid
We have a continent that sometimes comes between us, that's ok.
I love you
Even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes you're everywhere

dedicated to someone i may never see again:
Rival Schools - Undercover's On
Crept on you slowly
But faster than you could see
It’s not like I noticed
I wouldn’t be the first one you let in
The same person that you know would forget to be honest
I might be the furthest from your mind
Whatever you told me somehow you sold me on
I want to believe it ‘til I see later on
Apparition counterfeit
Can this racket go on another year
Overconfident, maybe
You’re still here
Misplaced my fear
Whatever you told me, somehow you sold me on
I want to believe it ‘til I see later on
You cross the other way
And hope I didn’t see you
I start calling out your name
Cause I want to meet you again
Don’t know why you say you’re doing fine
That’s not what it looks like
Something doesn’t feel right
You’re undercover’s on
You’re acting kind of warm
But soon you’ve got to leave
There’s something you need
I’m not invited to go
Those people that you know
Well, they don’t care about you
Could live easily without you

 

[Istigeit]

all i can think of...1969 by The Stooges. So i changed the lyrics a bit to make it relevant to today so now it's 2003 by The Stooges!
1969/2003
well it's 1969/2003 ok all across the usa/australia
it's another year for me and you
another year with nothing to do
last year i was 21/19
i didn't have a lot of fun and now i'm gonna be 22/20
i say oh my and a boo-hoo
it's 1969/2003 ok all across the usa/australia it's another year for me and you
another year with nothing to do
another year with nothing to do
it's 1969/2003 1969/2003 1969/2003 1969/2003 1969/2003 baby and it's 1969/2003 bayyyyyyybee baby baby baby

 

[harraser]

We're happy little vegemites,
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our vegemite
For breakfast, lunch and tea.
Our Mummies say we're growing stronger every single week
Because we love our vegemite
We all adore our vegemite.
It puts a rose in everyyyy cheeeeeeeeek
:D

The Streets - It's too late
She said 'Meet me at the gates at eight
'Leave now, don't be late'
She said one day she'd walk away
'Cause I was always late
Thought things were okay
Didn't care though anyway
Say 'Sorry, babe, I had to meet a mate'
Tempting fate
We first met through a shared view
She loved me and I did too
It's now seven-fifty
Getting ready, better be nifty
Do my hair quickly
Step out, it's cloudy
Mate bells me to borrow money
I've got two henrys and a dealer to pay
Call up on geezers to rid these green trees
From my reeking jeans
Got a You-Think-I-Care air
Out glaring geezers' stares
I'm here and I'm there
Couldn't see past the end of my beer
What was getting near
All of the silence after the tears
I didn't know it was over
Till it was too late, too ate
But if I ever needed you
Would you be there?
She said 'Meet me at the gates, don't be late'
But pretty soon the day came for change
And I was glad she never walked away
So I'm choosing what to wear
Doing my hair with an hour to spare
When my life went pear
She'd been there with a fixed stare
Big wheel climbed to the top
Geezers' stares bounced off
Standing at the top of this huge mountain
Smiling and shouting
Spring flowers sprouting
Not one inch of doubt in my mind
As I reached the gates
Came around the corner at a rate
Risked her love
But I was gonna set things straight
Never again am I gonna be late
Never again am I gonna be late
Never again am I gonna be late
I didn't know it was over
Till it was too late, too ate
But if I ever needed you
Would you be there?
I said meet me at the gates
Leave now, don't be late
I waited for a while
Listening to her voicemail
Mind set sail
Then the facts turned me pale
Wind, rain, hail
My fears unveiled for my fair female
She'd walked away
Too little to late
I step up the pace
Walk past the gate
Rain runs over my face
Spirit falls from grace
I purchase a hazy escape at the alcohol place
In the Chase, I sat down, got a fat frown
Weeping and drown in my senses
For this love game's expensive
I walk in a trance
Got a wounded soldier stance
And the everyday geezers' stares throw me off balance
Now nothing holds significance
And nothing holds relevance
Cause the only thing I can see is her elegance
I didn't know it was over
Till it was too late, too ate
But if I ever needed you
Would you be there?
I didn't know it was over
Till it was too late, too ate
But if I ever needed you
Would you be there?

...Might sound too overly gloomy but this song gets me.
Soundgarden - Fell On Black Days
Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now I'm doing time
Cause I fell on black days
Whomsoever I've cured I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled I've put you down
I'm a search light soul they say
But I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking when I get it right
Cause I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate
So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine
So don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No, not tying
No, not tying
I sure don't mind a change
But I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate

Uncalm
Listen to the drummer just listen to the strings
Listen to the DJ just rappin and things
Once I get a message from you I get all edgy
My minds racing but my you know not ready uh
For you
Baby all our dreams trickle through
We are back in your teenage bedroom
Salvador Dali honeymoon
For you
It's like
you and me on Plymouth Rock
Embarking on a journey that I never thought
would happen to me so effortlessly
sparks flying, your laughter is a symphony
Spring
What a little moonlight can do
Soon the summer sun is on you
All the while we don't hear the news
or feel blue
On the scales of desire your absence weighs
more than someone else's presence
I wanna kiss reason goodbye today
I wanna show its purple essence
On your lips baby it'll fade away
return your natural iridescence
On the scales of desire your absence weighs
more than someone else's presence
You make me feel uncalm and I think I like it
Make me think of a song that I could not write yet
Melodies create themselves I'm just a conduit
You make my heart accelerate and I'm on to it
For you baby there's so much that I will do
to be near the sweetness on you
Funny everything seems so new
when with you
On the scales of desire your absence weighs
more than someone else's presence
I wanna kiss reason goodbye today
I wanna show its purple essence
On your lips baby it'll fade away
return your natural iridescence
On the scales of desire your absence weighs
more than someone else's presence

Matchbox 20 - Push
She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well
This ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you around
You don't owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, yeah I will, I will
Well I will
She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to shine
'cuz It's a little bit dirty well
Don't just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated I've been wronged you,
And you don't know me, I can't change
I won't do anything at all
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, yeah I will, I will
Oh but don't bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so crazy, crazy
Don't rush this baby, don't rush this Baby, baby
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna take you, take you, yeah, well I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will, Yeah, yeah, push you around,
I'll drag you down, I wanna push you around
Well I will
Moist - Push
a little bit more than i ever wanted
a little bit more than you could ever say
did you really think that i'd forgotten
kicked out the windshield
water coming in
fade away fade away
push just a little too late
is this what you want
what you need
what you wanted me to be
always loved me strapped to you
lock it down and drive me through
tried to give more than you thought i'd take now
taking more than you could ever say
push come to shove
you kicked me in the head
you knock me down
i ripped the handle off again
i wanted more than this
wanted more than this
fade away fade away
push just a little too late
is this what you want
what you need
is this what you wanted me to be
always loved me strapped to you
lock it down and drive me through
hands gripped to the wheel
held too tight to feel
face pressed to the glass
please don't ask
one breath one more
it's alright
i could give enough
have enough
be enough
you could never stand to stay there
only only only
fade away fade away
push just a little too late
is this what you want
what you need
is this what you wanted me to be
always loved me strapped to you
lock it down and drive me through
push just a little too late
i wanted more than this
i expected more than this

Fabolous feat. Pain In Da Ass :: The Bad Guy
Billy Connolly :: Pain In My Ass
Yes, it fucking hurts.
Almost as much as my head.

 

[harraser]

This song, and band, is awesome!!! you should all give it a listen, the first version of it i heard was played simply by the singer on an acoustic guitar, while his freind played the drums on buckets etc. and i was amazed by the emotion in his voice, and in the music in general. these guys are amazing. check them out!!! NOW!!!!!
Walking Is Still Honest - Against Me!
Dear mother,
This is just survival.
Cannot promise your children everything,
But you would lie so they can sleep tonight.
Defeat tasted nothing like you said.
Still 22 days left till the end of the world.
My legacy was making you a man
For a justice I could not change.
This is one voice not to forget;
"Fight every fight like you can win;
An iron fisted champion,
An iron willed fuck up."
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?
Why death is easier than living?
You can be almost anything
When you're on your fucking knees.
Not today,
Not my son,
Not my family,
Not while walking is still honest,
And you haven't given up on me.
Dear shithead,
This isn't happening;
The sky is really falling,
The paint's all made of lead,
There's asbestos in the walls,
Hell's come over to rip off the doors
To the priveleged mansion.
Do you want to love and feel it?
You can look but you can't taste it.
You can reach but you'll never have it.
We are untouchable;
Untouchable is something to be.
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?
Why death is easier than living?
You can be almost anything
When you're on your fucking knees.
Not today,
Not my son,
Not my family,
Not while walking is still honest,
And you haven't given up on me,
And you haven't given up on me,
And you haven't forgotten me...

 

[Furnace]

Garbage - Push It
I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say you'll help me out
Don't worry baby
No need to fight
Don't worry baby
We'll be all right
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it
Make the beats go harder
Pu-Pu-Pu-Push it
Make the beats go harder
I'm sorry that I hurt you
But please don't ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine
Don't worry baby
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby
We'll stay up all night
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it
Make the beats go harder
Pu-Pu-Pu-Push it
Make the beats go harder
C'mon push it you can do it
C'mon prove it nothing to it
C'mon use it let's get through it
C'mon push it nothing to it
Don't worry baby
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby
We'll stay up all night
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it
Make the beats go harder
Pu-Pu-Pu-Push it (This is the noise that keeps me awake)
Make the beats go harder
Push it (My head explodes and my body aches)
Make the beats go higher
Pu-Pu-Pu-Push it (This is the noise that keeps me awake)
Make the beats go harder (My head explodes and my body aches)
Don't worry baby
We'll be all right
Don't worry baby
We'll be all right
Push It
Push It
Push It
Push It
Push It

Underworld - Push upstairs
Tina lives in Berlin

a smiling smiling
her voice so intentionally

and a cloud between us
and these are my intentions

Yeh, it might be gloomy, but i found myself singing these lyrics in my head recently. Note the first two lines of the song. *sigh* I guess its gotta happen every once in a while

[soulfly]

ok, i'm posting two today
it is new years eve and all...
The first song is in honor of what is undoubtedly going to be the saddest, morose, most pathetic New Years Eve of my entire life.
And the second song is reflecting on how I slept on the couch last night after yet another tear-filled knock-down, drag-out fight with my girlfriend.
Thursday - Jet Black New Year
"Don't even take a breath.
The air is cut with cyanide.
In honor of the New Year.
The press gives us cause to celebrate:
These air raid sirens
Barbed wire skylines,
By artificial night,
As we sleep to burn the red
From our bloodless lives.
Tonight we're all time bombs
on fault lines.
Have we lost everything now?
We're walking like each other's ghosts
Around these silent streets
(the sedatives tell you everything is alright)
Like calendars dying at New Year's Eve parties,
As we kiss hard on the lips
And swear this year will be better than the last.
Jet Black - the ink that spells your name.
Jet Black - the blood that's in your veins.
We say, "How long can we take this chance not to celebrate?"
There's music playing
But we dance to the beat
Of our own black hearts
And draw diagrams
Of suicide on each other's wrists,
Then trace them with razorblades.
Fire to Flames,
"Strike Match."
Burn these words from our lips
As 'The Dagger' screams,
"Love is dead,"
and it's a "newspaper tragedy."
Have we lost what we love?
Have we said everything?
Does it change anything?
Stare at the clock,
Avoid at all costs,
This emptiness.
Ten seconds left, until midnight.
Nine chances to drown ourselves in black hair dye
Eight faces turned away from the shock.
Seven windows and six of them were locked.
Five stories falling.
Forever and ever.
Three cheers to the mirror.
Now there are two of us.
Can we have one last dance?
Jet Black - the ink that spells your name.
Jet Black - the blood that's in your veins.
We say, "How long can we take this chance not to celebrate?"
**************************************************
Dashboard Confessional - Again I Go Unnoticed
"so quiet
another wasted night,
the television steals the conversation.
exhale.
another wasted breath,
again it goes unnoticed.
please tell me you're just feeling tired
'cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break
out of touch, out of time.
please send me anything but signals that are mixed
'cause I can't read your rolling eyes.
out of touch, are we out of time?
Close lipped.
another goodnight kiss,
is robbed of all it's passion.
your grip
another time, is slack
it leaves me feeling empty.
please tell me you're just feeling tired
'cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break
out of touch, out of time.
please send me anything but signals that are mixed
'cause I can't read your rolling eyes.
out of touch, are we out of time?
I'll wait until tomorrow
maybe you'll feel better then
maybe we'll be better then
so what's another day
when I can't bear these nights of thoughts of going on without you
this mood of yours is temporary
it seems worth the wait
to see your smile again.
out of the corner of my eye
won't be the only way you're looking at me then.
so quiet
another wasted night
the televison steals the conversation
exhale.
another wasted breath
again it goes unnoticed"

I knew she was too good to be true...
Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker
Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town?
It won't take long just watch and see how the fellas lay their money down.
Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago,
But from her eyes, a different smile like that of one who knows.
Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you.
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue.
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love;
But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above.
People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at.
One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you.
I try to make love but it ain't no use.
Work so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved;
Abuse my love a thousand times, however hard I tried.
Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way;
Go away, Heartbreaker.
Heartbreaker.
Heartbreaker.
Heart.

Cat Power - Great Expectations
I am like powder, I am like relaxation
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I live in a desert
And I let the wind make love to me
I dig in this ocean and i try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top, fill it to the top, fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself
Well that may be your best defense
I am from the moon, I am from the moon, I am from the moon,
So they say, so they say, so they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another
Great expectations, great expectations, great expectations
So they say, so they say, so they say
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
Doves - The man who told everything
Get out of bed, pick up the phone
Time to tell the press
Say to myself, I can't do no-one else
There's a whole world outside
I'm gonna tell it all
I'm gonna sell it all
I'm gonna sell
Get out of bed
Come out and sing
Blue skies ahead
The man who told everything
And I feel, like I'm losing my head
I didn't mean to stay
Lives have been wrecked, and I've picked up my cheque
Catch a plane out of here
I'm gonna get out of here
I'm gonna get out of here
I'm gonna sell
Get out of bed
Come out and sing
Blue skies ahead
The man who told everything

new project of Issac from Modest Mouse.
The name of the band is something I can related to...
Ugly Cassanova - Barnacles
i don't really need to see
so i don't need to see so i'll paint
i don't know, i'll paint it black
i don't need to see
i don't see how you see out of your window
i don't need to see, i'll paint mine black
i don't know me and you don't know you
so we fit so good together
cos i knew you like i knew myself
we clung on like barnacles on a boat
even though the ship sinks you know you can't let go
i was talking like two hands knocking
yelling 'let me in, let me in, please come out.'
black glass, dirt-based soap,
tell yourself what you know.
my friends, oh my friends,
bury your head i'll help you bury your plans.
hard hit, hard to miss, problems are what a problem is.
my light came up quick, call it your asterisk,
buried like boys in a boys first book of the stars
saw it as satellite
constant unblinking as
buried in the bottom of a bottom of a brackish lake

seriously, though...if "Jet Black New Year" is any indication of what they've been working on, their next record is going to revolutionize heavy music as the world knows it

sorry, soulfly
But I totally agree with you. I can't wait.

 

[batty]

nico-these days
I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.
I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.
I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.
P.S. --- I'not a granola cruncher, but I hate technology!!! (No offense to the granolas OR geeks! ;0)
