Lyrics that appeal to you today v. 14

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.
nico - these days
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 hate technology ;P

She's so beautiful... i love her voice... when i heard that she features in that Delirium song i went and listened to it... so beautiful i wanted to cry... :|
Here's my piece, it's by a little known aussie band now broken up...
Ammonia - Keep On My Side
I keep my photos clean
I follow the seconds hand
I preach but I never scream
I cry but I never plan
Keep on my side
I won't let you down
Scold my wicked tongue
My hands are never clean
So glad to see you again
You haven't changed much
I've got this photo of you
But this dirt just won't come off
I keep this photo in my pocket
It's getting old, but it's of you
Thanks for stopping by
You've really helped again
I'll see you around sometime
I'll just follow the seconds hand
Keep on my side
I won't let you down
Scold my wicked tongue
My hands are never clean
Keep on my side...
 
Goddamn you, coldplay
Coldplay - Clocks
The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and I plead
Singing
Come out of the things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head
And a trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed
Singing
You are
You are
Confusion that never stops
The closing walls and the ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop, that you now know
Singing come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease
Singing
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
You are, you are
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go (You are)
Home, home where I wanted to go (You are)
 
Rhett Miller, will you marry me?
There Is A World Inside The World :: by my future husband.
There is a world inside the world that you see
And it's okay to count the minutes 'cause how many could there be
And if love is all around us how could this have found us
The move you know is don't let go of me
There is a world inside the world that you see
Let's call her Halcyon and hope that she holds
'Cause every shore she's gonna touch is gonna turn to solid gold
She and I been wishing for a change in our condition
It's not given but it's obvious to me
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world that you see
There is a world inside the world that you see
I read it in Delillo like they'd written it to me
And if love is all we're made then what am I afraid of
Just 'cause freedom rings it doesn't mean we're free
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world that you see
 
another Canadian band that ended before its time...
The Grapes of Wrath - All the things I wasn't
Hours of hiding, spent apart
The wall was all we'd shared
About the closest you could get
About all I would bear
Tell me all the things I wasn't
Would have made this big a difference
To all the things you are
Years of listening taking in
To one day take away
From all the guilt and pity I
Could barely keep at bay
Tell me all the things I wasn't
Would have made this big a difference
To all the things you are
Time apart I'd realized
The name's the most we'd shared
Unlike you there's no way I
Could spend forever there
Tell me all the things I wasn't
Would have made this big a difference
To all the things you are
 
DJ Encore- I See Through You
I see right though to you
See right through to you
See right through to you
I see right through to you
It's not like I don't feel your mood
What you have for me is different
Then the rest that moves
I'll be positive I know that I could be there too
Cuz you have it all, have it all
I see right through to you
See your every move
See right through to you
See your every move
I know you now
I reach your mind
You've shown some how
What I could find
On the inside
There you will see
We're all alike you and me
I see right through to you
See your every move
See right through to you
See your every move
 
mmmmmmmmm......phishtour.
Seven Below - Phish
Blue splinter and grow
New crystals of snow
Seen several kinds
Through seven below.
 
Leadbelly - Where Did You Sleep Last Night
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
/fuck
ya i am posting two. give a shit? shoot me.
pretty please.
Thursday - Dying In New Brunswick
You told me on your birthday all the things that this place had done to you.
And in the streets you walk.
You hide your face because they don't believe that it's true.
They say it doesn't happen that often.
But it's happening right now.
I'm writing you this letter to let you know I'm not alright.
And in this city the streets are paved with hate
And you cry yourself to sleep tonight.
And say "no, there aren't enough love songs in the sky."
You counted down the days till you could say "Bye-bye, city, bye-bye"
You're walking down on Union
You see the roads and know they're apart of you.
They say it doesnt happen that often
But it's happening right now.
I'm writing you a second time.
To let you know nothing here has changed.
The streets are still paved with hate.
So you can cry yourself to sleep tonight.
Will you look back on this night
As the day that ruined your life.
Will you look back on these city streets and say,
"Oh, God, where are you?"
In these city streets I hide my face.
I turn away when you look at me
And every night when I try and sleep.
I feel your hands all over my body.
You streipped away the street signs and shot out all the stop lights.
If you smashed away all the building what would you have left?
/damn

I love this track...
The Ataris - Your Boyfriend Sucks
You're better off without him, don't call him...
He's breaking your heart.
He's hanging with your best friend and your waiting there,
It's tearing you apart.
He lied to you a thousand times,
When I was there he kept you waiting.
And I'm still here waiting there
To catch you if you fall.
I don't know why I care so much
When I shouldn't care at all.
Finally got the nerve to tell you
How much you mean to me you said that I was your best friend,
A real sweet guy, but that's all I'd ever be.
 
here is the greatest love poem to marijuana i've ever heard. it's by stoner rock band Sleep. this song was released as a 52 miniute track and the lyrics are hilarious. enjoy.
JERUSALEM-SLEEP
Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the smoke to the riff filled land
Proceeds the Weedian, Nazareth
Creedsmen roll out across the dying dawn
Sacred Israel, holy Mount Zion
Sun beams down onto the Sandcean reigns
Caravan migrates through deep sandscape
Lungsmen unearth the creed of Hasheesian Lebanon
Desert legion smoke covenant is complete
Herb bales retied onto backs of beasts
Stoner caravan emerges from sandsea
Earthing inserts to chalice the green cutchie
Groundation soul finds trust upon smoking hose
Assemble creedsmen rises prayerfilled smoke Golgotha
Judgement soon comes to mankind
Green herbsmen serve rightful king
Hemp seed caravan carries
Rides out believer with the spliff aflame
Marijuanaut escapes Earth to cultivate
Grow room is church temple of the new stoner breed
Chants loud robed priest down onto the freedomseed
Burnt offering redeems completes smoked deliverance
Caravans stoned deliverants
The caravan holds to Eastern creed
Now smokes believer
The chronicle of the Sinsemillian
Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the smoke toward the riff filled land
Follow the smoke Jerusalem
 
Xzibit
Carry the Weight.
Verse One:
You see I don't like to remenisce about the past
The lower class, no clout livin' hand to mouth
Each and every wrong move the police keep count
make it real fuckin' easy to get streched out
I was at the funeral when it all began
You know the painful transition from a boy to men
I lost sight of my mother at the age of nine
didn't understand death nearly lost my mind
But see life moves on and broke niggas can't change it
Age ten, new step family arrangement
at thirteen, I started gettin' hair on my dick
And noticed me and my sister were gettin' treated like shit
I would forever be hit with anything in reach
Then my father would proceed to go to church and preach
about forgiveness, patience all the shit that he lacked
Gettin' jump when he said and the head gat cracked
physical contact was in form of a slap
at the age of fifteen Xzibit now hit back
courtesy of my stepbrother, who taught me to scrap
Left the bitch on the ground with her eyes on black
Ran away from the house of Teresa and Nate
Into juvenile detention where I built up hate
I don't remember the date of the judical debate
but legally I was now in custody of the state
Chorus:
And niggas wonder why I sit up in the club and drink
Say what's up to Xzibit and I still don't speak
I'm trying to contemplate the next move to make
Gotta find some way to release this hate
And niggas wonder why I sit up in the club and drink
Say what's up to Xzibit and I still don't speak
I'm trying to contemplate the next move to make
Gotta find some way Xzibit carry the weight
Interlude: Xzibit, [J-Ro]
[Yeah it's fucked up though man]
[YouknowhatI'msayin']
Yo
[The fuck you doin' in jail]
Insane man, I don't know man, he he he
[Yeah wats goin' on down there, gotta get out dude]
Yeah I be out in couple of weeks man
YouknowI'msayin'
[It's popin' man]
It's cool yo fuck that
[It's popin' out here]
They can go on and on for that
[I'm tellin' you it's popin' man come home]
Verse Two:
And that was worse then the treatment I was gettin' at home
but only now I was fucked up plus all alone
My father talkin' all crazy to me over the phone
Turned age sixteen now on my own
Started running with cats who carried gats cause they had too
with no hesitation lock load then blast you
Without a hastle we in a town of hicks
fuckin' all these chicks
Sellin' rock by the bricks
so we feelin' like we mothafuckin' Nino Brown
At the house when the mothafuckin' man touched down
Screamin' demands "Let me see your goddamn hands (now)"
A.T.F. cause of handguns and contraban
we never kept it in the house
So of course we clounded
Only found one pistol took us all down town
We be out by the end of the afternoon
gettin' drunk on the strip let the system BOOM!
Who would assume Mr. QK would chill with a wife
Ty and Matt caught bodies
Now they spend there life behind bars
catchin' scars that will not heal
niggas don't know the half about keepin' it real
Chorus
And niggas wonder why I sit up in the club and drink
Say what's up to Xzibit and I still don't speak
I'm trying to contemplate the next move to make
Gotta find some way to release this hate
And niggas wonder why I sit up in the club and drink
Say what's up to Xzibit and I still don't speak
I'm trying to contemplate the next move to make
Gotta find some way Xzibit carry the weight

How is it even possible one band can be so good? Kept myself awake driving home last night screaming the lyrics to most of their songs.

The Doves :: Satellites
I want you to know this
My anger's all but done
Sweet Lord, I swear I've seen the darkness
Sweet Lord, I swear I've seen some pain
Satellites ahead, so hold on
Satellites I said, so come on
Here comes a strange cargo
Here comes a light that leaves out of here
Sweet Lord, all I've known is badness
Sweet Lord, all I've known is pain
Satellites ahead, so hold on
Satellites I said, so come on
For seven nights I slept, hold on
The satellites ahead, so come on
I want you to notice
My anger's all but done
and all I've known is madness
Satellites ahead, so hold on
For seven nights I slept, so come on
So hold on
So come on
 
This was me a month ago. Lisa Loeb is my fairy princess.
Lisa Loeb - Stay
You say I only hear what I want to
You say I talk so all the time so
And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don't belong
And now that I am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you
Yeah yeah, I missed you
You say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard, don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
To anyone, anywhere
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no bad
So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song:
Lover's in love and the other's run away
Lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay
Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
Dying since the day they were born
Well, well, this is not that
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown
And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure
You try to tell me that I'm clever
But that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you
You said that I was naive and I thought that I was strong
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you
Yeah, I miss you
You said, "you caught me 'cause you want me and one day you let me go"
You try to give away a keeper, or keep me
'Cause you know you're just scared to lose
And you say, "Stay."
You say I only hear what I want to
 
thanks for the phone call...
The Dears - Heartless Romantic
I've been a liar, I've been a thief.
But now I don't think that is what I want to be. I'll do anything you want any old time.
Oh yeah.
Don't have any money. (Pockets are empty)
Don't have any looks, (I am a dog)
just borrowed pianos (I'm coming over)
that I can't hardly play. (To use what I want to)
I may have a pen somewhere, staff paper too.
I'm asking for it.
You need some more brandy. (Got a pack of cigarettes)
You need cocaine. (Give me more drugs)
You're in self-destruct mode. (I'm self-destructing)
Maybe it's the pain. (And hurting all over)
I don't need anything, (Don't need nobody)
I just need you (Nobody else)
You and I.
It's all so shameful.
You and I...it's all...it's a shame.
You're just a loverful.
 
one more b/c it's been in my head for two weeks now...
Smog - Cold Blooded Old Times
Cold-blooded old times
The type of memories
that turns your bones to glass
Turns your bones to glass
Mother came rushing in
she said we didn't see a thing
We said we didn't see a thing
And father left at eight
Nearly splintering the gate
Cold-blooded old times
The type of memory
That turns your bones to glass
Turns your bones to glass
And though you where
Just a little swirl
You understood every word
And in this way they gave you clarity
A cold-blooded clarity
Cold-blooded old times
Now how can I stand
and laugh with the man
Who redefined your body
Those cold-blooded old times...
 
These guys are on Austin City Limits right now...
Spoon - Paper Tiger
I'll never hold you back
and I won't force my will
I will no longer do the devil's wishes
something I read on a dollar bill
a paper tiger can't tell you where he stands
we'll go back tonight the way that we came
I'm not dumb, just want to hold your hand
so alright
where we want to be
and alright
what that we could be
we could go kick down some doors together
stay out til morning sharp as knives
they new war will get you it will not protect you
but I will be there with you when turn out the light
said I will be there with you when you turn out the light
I will be there with you when you turn out the light
 
the questionmarks piss me right off coz they skip whole verses, but its the only lyrics for this i could find. i woke up soooo hung over and sick the other morning and this song kept running through my head.
Y'all Don't Wanna Step To Dis - Against Me!
Four sins past sainthood,
It's like I'm dying to forget
All the sleepless nights,
Lying perfectly alone and still
I can drink 'till victory,
I'll drink to the mighty,
Drink until I die,
Or at least until the sunrise
When honesty,
As popular as a plague,
Comes to remind me
The dead's winning the race
With me going nowhere.
Right down the street,
A prostitute is selling
The closest thing to love
That this country has to offer,
And Alachua still sleeps tonight,
And Alachua still sleeps tonight,
And Alachua still sleeps tonight...
????
And America still sleeps tonight,
And America still sleeps tonight,
And America still sleeps tonight,
And I hope it doesn't wake up tomorrow.
?????
We don't remember the dates,
We don't remember the reasons,
We have no idea what's going on,
????
And Alachua still sleeps tonight,
And America still sleeps tonight,
And the world still sleeps tonight...
And Alachua still sleeps tonight...
And America still sleeps tonight...
And the world still sleeps tonight...
 
I get into my car, turn on the radio, and this is playing...fucking Dave Matthews Band...
Dave Matthews Band - Where Are You Going?
Where are you going, with your long face pulling down?
Don’t hide away, like an ocean
But you can’t see, but you can smell
And the sound waves crash down
I am no superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure
But I do know one thing for sure
Is where you are, is where I belong
I do know, where you go, is where I want to be
Where are you going, where do you go?
Are you looking for answers, to questions under the stars?
If along the way you are growing weary, you can rest with me until a brighter day
It’s okay, where are you going, where do you go?
I am no superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure
But I do know one thing for sure
Is where you are, is where I belong
I do know, where you go, is where I want to be
Where are you going, where do you go?
Are you looking for answers, where do you go?
Where are you going?
Where do you go?
Let’s go.
