Lyrics that appeal to you today v.15

For some reason.. can't stop singing it today
"Here we are
Hanging on to strings of green and blues
Break the chain and we break down
Oh it's not real if you don't feel it
Unspoken expectations
Ideals you used to play with
They've finally taken shape for us.
What's good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now you say
You're startin' to feel the push and pull
Of what could be and never can
You mirror me stumblin' through those
Old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
Oh maybe you're out of place
What's good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Good Enough) for you
Is good enough for me
It's good, it's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
Oh maybe you're out of place
What's good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Good Enough) for you
Is good enough for me
It's good, it's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah"
Good Enough(Goonie)-Cyndi Lauper

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you can't hang with the feeling
Then there ain't no room for you this part of town
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
You can shout out all you want to
'Cause there ain't no sin in folks all getting loud
If you take the chance and do it
Then there ain't no one who's gonna put you down
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
C'mon and groove, and let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
Do what you want to do
There ain't no rules it's up to you (ain't no rules it's all up to you)
It's time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)
Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul
Want to see an exhibition
Better do it now before you get to old
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy ourselves/yourself
C'mon and groove (yeah) let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
C'mon and groove (yeah) let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

Fats Domino/Ain't That a Shame
You made me cry when you said good-bye
Ain't that a shame my tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame your the one to blame
You broke my heart now we're apart
Ain't that a shame my tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame your the one to blame
So long good-bye although I cry
Ain't that a shame my tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame your the one to blame
You made me cry when you said good-bye
Ain't that a shame my tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame your the one to blame
You made me cry when you said good-bye
Ain't that a shame my tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame your the one to blame

"You Got Me"
I get shy around you
Don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
'Cause you do something to me
That I can't describe baby
Always catch myself thinkin' 'bout
The things you do
There ain't no one else
I got my heart set on you
You really got me, baby it's true

You know you got me
So in love
You know you got me
Daydreamin' 'bout us

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For :: U2
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
 
Only Lonely
Hello again
Your words they make me smile
As I drift away
In my little room upstairs
Oh I spend my nights
Imagining your face your touch
Then I realize
How I don't even know your name
If we could share our time
Would I disappoint your fantasies
I believe that you could be the one I'm needing
'cause I'm
only lonely on the inside
didn't mean to take away your dreams
only lonely on the inside
when you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts
I could start to give apologies
For all the stupid things That I will say and I will do
If we should ever cross the same place at the same time
Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me
If we could share our life
Would I disappoint your memories
I believe that I could be the one your needing
And I'm
CHORUS
If I could give back your hopes your joys your treasures
Don't you think that I would change my world
But there's so many things trying to pull us together
Even though we're far apart I can still watch you walk away
Only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
Only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes do you see me
(in your deepest thoughts do you see me)
(when you close your eyes, in your deepest thoughts do you see me)

"Hell Yeah"
life is a b movie
it's stupid and it's strange
a directionless story
and the dialouge is lame
but in the he said she said
sometimes there's some poetry
if you turn your back long enough
and let it happen naturally
oh, yeah
hell yeah
I got a face like a limp handshake
hair like an accident scene
I've been waking up slowly
savoring the same old dream
and somewhere between
the folds of your memory
I was sleeping soundly
oh, yeah
hell yeah
'cause I like you
but I know you don't know it
I like you soo much,
I talk to everyone but you
and I wonder
what you would think of this little number
I wonder
what you would say if you knew
If you don't ask the right questions
every answer seems wrong
I was a terrible waitress
so I started to write songs
and I don't know how I feel
but I wonder if you feel like me
do you ever get wrapped up
in the folds of my memory
oh, yeah
hell, yeah
'cause I like you
but I know you don't know it
I like you so much
I talk to everyone but you
and I wonder
what you would think of this little number
yeah I wonder
what you would say if you knew
there's a river of people
that runs past my eyes
and it's beautiful enough
just to watch it go by
but the trouble with water is
she'll always leave you for gravity
I never even told you
I had a crush on you or anything
oh, yeah
hell yeah
life is a b movie
it's stupid and it's strange
a directionless story
and the dialouge is lame
but in the he said she said
sometimes there's some poetry
if you turn your back long enough
and let it happen naturally
oh, yeah
hell yeah
 
Grateful Dead
"Box of Rain"
Look out of any window, any morning, any evening, any day.
Maybe the sun is shining, birds are singing,
No rain is falling from a heavy sky.
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago.
Walk out of any doorway, feel your way, feel your way like the day before.
Maybe you'll find direction,
Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you.
What do you want me to do, to watch for you while you are sleeping?
The please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too.
Look into any eyes you find by you, you can see clear to another day,
Maybe been seen before, through other eyes on other days while going home.
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago.
Walk into splintered sunlight,
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land.
Maybe you're tired and broken,
Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.
Just a box of rain, wind and water,
Sun and shower, wind and rain,
In and out the window like a moth before a flame.
And it's just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there,
Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.
And it's just a box of rain, or a ribbon for tour hair;
Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
 
The lyrics don't look like much but this song, when sang by Maxwell, is beautiful...
It reminds me of falling in love :)
Maxwell - Drown Deep : Hula
Confusing as this is
I hope my kiss can rectify
the lack of part time bliss
A weightlessness inside
Your life your life your life
Ooh-waah let's drown deep in us
Ooh-waah make no fight no fuss
Ooh-waah let's drown deep in us
in us in us in us
I'll wear your liquid kiss
and watch as if inside
Dispel the negative
as if a myth alive
Why should I let you go?
How could I let you go?
When we be up here all alone
Hula hula baby
Ooh-waah let's drown deep in us
Ooh-waah make no fight no fuss
ooh-waah come drown deep in us
In us in us in us
 
Shit on the Radio - Nelly Furtado
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no
You liked me till' you seen me on your t.v.
Well if you're so low below then why you watching?
You say good things come to those who wait
I've been waiting a long time for it
I remember the days
when I was so eager to satisfy you
and be less than I was
just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away
I see you've chosen to stay behind me
and still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself
You say your quest is to bring it higher
Well I never seen change without a fire
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning
Your face, the colours change from green to yellow
To the point where you can't even say hello
You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
Like that's what you expect from me, like that's what I'm about
I remember the days
when I was so eager to satisfy you
and be less than I was
just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away
I see you've chosen to stay behind me
and still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself
It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool
Than sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
Than to burn in the spotlight (open fire!), turn in the spitfire (open fire!)
Scream without making a sound (open fire!), be up here without looking down (open fire!)
because we're all afraid of heights
I remember the days
when I was so eager to satisfy you
and be less than I was
just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away
I see you've chosen to stay behind me
and still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself

Interpol - The New
I wish I could live free
I hope it's not beyond me
settling down... it takes time
one day we will live together
and life will be better
I have it here yeah in my mind
baby, you know someday you'll slow
baby, my heart's been breaking
I gave a lot to you
I take a lot from you too
you slave a lot from me
guess you could say
I gave you my edge
I can't pretend
I need to defend
some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time a-lying
I can't pretend
I don't need to defend
some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time a-lying
You're looking alright tonight
I think we should go
You're looking alright tonight
I think we should go
 
"Mad World" Tears for Fears (or sung bu Gary Jules in 'Donnie Darko')
all around me are familar faces
worn out places, worn out faces
bright and early for the daily races
going nowhere, going nowhere
their tears are filling up their glasses
no expression, no expression
hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
no tomorrow, no tomorrow
and I find it kinda funny
I find kinda sad
the dreams in which I'm dying
are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
when people run in circles it's a very very
mad world
mad world
children waiting for the day they feel good
happy birhtday, happy birthday
and I feel the way that every child should
sit and listen, sit and listen
went to school and I was very nervous
no one knew me, no one knew me
hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
look right thourgh me, look right throuh me
and I find it kinda funny
I find kinda sad
the dreams in which I'm dying
are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
when people run in circles it's a very very
mad world
mad world
enlarging your world
mad world
 
The dears are opening up for Matthew Good in March.
I can't wait. Here's a song that I used to listen to back when I was down...
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.
 
Parts in bold go with me today
"Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out,
Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong"
Elton John- Bennie n the Jets
 
i know it's long, but it's well worth the read. it's the most beautiful song i've ever heard, and it's called konstantine by 'something corporate.'
_________________________________
i can't imagine all the people that you know
and the places that you go
when the lights are turned down low
and I don't understand all the things you've seen
but i'm slipping inbetween
you and your big dreams
it's always you
in my big dreams
and you tell me that it's over
wake up lying in a patch of four-leaf clover
and your restless, and i'm naked
you've gotta get out
you can't stand to see me shaking
no
could you let me go?
i didn't think so
and you don't wanna be here in the future
so you say the present's just a pleasent interruption to the past
and you don't wanna look much closer
cuz your afraid to find out all this hope
you had sent into the sky by now had
crashed,
and it did,
because of me
and then you bring me home
afraid to find out that you're alone
and i'm sleeping in your living room
but we don't have much room to live
i had these dreams that i learned to play guitar
maybe cross the country
become a rock star
and there was hope in me that i could take you there
but dammit you're so young
well i don't think i care
and if i hurt you
then i'm sorry
please don't think that this was easy
then you bring me home
cuz we both know what it's like to be alone
and i'm dreaming in your living room
but we don't have much room to live
and konstantine is walking down the stairs
doesn't she look good
standing in her underwear
and i was thinking
what i was thinking
we've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere
my konstantine came walking down the stairs
and all that i could do is touch her
long
blonde
hair
and i've been thinking
it hurts me thinking that these nights
when we were drinking no they never got us anywhere
no
this is because i can spell konfusion with a k
and i like it
it's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it
it's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car
when the first star you see may not be a star
i'm not your star
isn't that what you said
what you thought this song meant
and if this is what it takes
just to lie in my mistakes
and live with what i did to you
and all the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock
it's 11:11
and now you want to talk
it's not hard to dream
you'll always be my konstantine
konstantine, they'll never hurt you like i do
no they'll never hurt you like i do
no, no, no no no no no no
this is to a girl who got inside my head
with all the pretty things she did
hey
you know
you keep me up in bed
this is to a girl who got into my head
with all the fucked up things i did
hey
maybe
baby
you could keep me up in bed
my konstantine
spin around me like a dream we played out on this movie screen
and i said
did you know i missed you? [x7]
oh god i miss you
and then you bring me home
and we'll go to sleep, but this time, not alone, no no
and you'll kiss me in your living room
i know
you'll miss me in your living room
cuz these nights i think maybe that i'll miss you in my living room
we don't have much room
i said does anybody need that room?
because we all need a little more room
to live
my konstantine
 
Neil Young
"California Sunset"
I remember long ago
How I wondered where I'd go
While the blizzards,
cold wind and snow
Pounded outside my window.
California sunset
Going down in the West
All the colors in the sky
Kiss another day goodbye.
Land of beauty,
space and light
Land of promise,
land of might
You're my home now
and it's true
California, here's to you.
California sunset
Going down in the West
All the colors in the sky
Kiss another day goodbye.
California sunset
Going down in the West
All the colors in the sky
Kiss another day goodbye.
The golden state!
 
:: Tori Amos ~ A Sorta Fairytale
on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining
and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
you said that-
you'd take it
as long as i could
i could not erase it
and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
and i ride along side
and i rode along side
you then
and i rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road
and i rode along side
till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
i had to steal it
and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
i could pick back up
whenever i feel
down new mexico way
something about
the open road
i knew that he was
looking for some indian blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be
on this road but
we're just
impostors
in this country you know
so we go along and we said
we'd fake it
feel better with
oliver stone
till i
almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
i don't know what
takes hold
out there in the
desert cold
these guys think they must
try and just get over on us
and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
and i was ridin' by
ridin' along side
for a while till you lost me
and i was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
the rear
view
you lost me
i said
way up north i took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and i put the hood
right back where
you could taste heaven
perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
and i, i don't
didn't think
we'd end up like
like this
 
squirt:
I agree. I first got hooked on the song when strange posted it in another forum. Since then, especially in the past week, I've listened to it while riding the bus to school in the morning.
:(
Thanks for reposting.
 
kaz, no problem. :) i think it may have made its way to the top of my favorite song list. i walked around my campus yesterday for about 45 minutes with it on repeat. i know what you mean...
