Lyrics that Appeal to you Today (v. 2)

[Mellabopper]

a continuation from this thread started by Sweetpea.
That's Life - Bleu
You've got a job
that you don't really like
i guess sometimes
it keeps you up at night
the coffee's bitter
at the corner store
you'd think you wouldn't
notice anymore
but with the traffic
everything is worse
sometimes you think
it's all an evil curse
you go to work
and try to stay awake
all for minimum wage
that's life
suck it up
you only get one.
you watch a clock
until the day is done
seems like you
hardly ever see the sun
the coffee's bitter
in the conference room
but not as bitter as you
just when you thought
it wouldn't ever end
you find a ticket
in the paper bin
you never thought that
you could scratch and win
but every now and again
that's life
suck it up
you only get one.
limit one per customer
cash value 1/100 of a cent
redeemable before you die
that's life
suck it up
you only get one.
that's life
suck it up
you only get one.

[femmme fatal]

this has always been one of my faves.... the kind of music i like to describe as 'top doing 140 km/h on a rural highway'
The Watchmen - All Uncovered
Lying in bedrooms is easy,
It's not like it's five days ago.
But lately your over my body,
Is that just the place that I want you to be?
Look at the pictures you've gotten,
They're like signals from oncoming cars.
Recovered,indicate from the last time,
I know it sounds very collected in jars.
Is that just the place that I want to be?
Oh can't you see it's a life I don't need?
Please don't make this thing hard for me
(The way that I wanna be)
Driving in style with a smile on,
I wish the light could turn red on me now.
The day's been so damn hard already,
So buckle me in on the highway to sin,
Cause that just the way that I wanna be.
Oh can't you see it's enough finally?
Please don't make this thing hard for me
Cause that's just the way
Cause that's just the way
All Uncovered
Cause that's just the way
Driving in style with a smile on,
I wish the light could turn red on me now.
The day's been so damn hard already,
So buckle me in on the highway to sin,
Cause that just the way that I wanna be.
Cause that's just the way
Cause that's just the way
All Uncovered
Cause that's just the way

Music & Lyrics :D ead Can Dance
Sail on silver wings
through this storm
what fortune love may bring
back to my arms again
the love of a former golden age.
I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take.
For, now that wheels are turning,
I find my faith deserting me...
This night is filledwith cries of
dispossessed children in search of Paradise.
A sign of unresolve that,
envisioned, drives the pinwheel on-and-on.
I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take.
When memory bears witness to
the innocence, consumed in dying rage!
The way lies through our love;
there can be no other means to the end,
or keys to my heart...
You will never find,
You will never find!
~Remake of Dead Can Dance's song, In Power We Entrust the Love Advocated...
The Gathering

 

[Sweetpea]

"We'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
we'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie without fear disagree sans judgement
we would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and
open and reach out and speak up
This is utopia this is my utopia
This is my ideal my end in sight
Utopia this is my utopia
This is my nirvana
My ultimate
we'd open our arms we'd all jump in we'd all coast down into safety nets
we would share and listen and support and welcome be propelled by passion not
invest in outcomes we would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
be gentle and make room for every emotion
we'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd all be heard we'd all feel seen
we'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful we would heal be humbled
and be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which we'd
release and disarm and stand up and feel safe
this is utopia this is my utopia
this is my ideal my end in sight
utopia this is my utopia
this is my nirvana
my ultimate"

Alanis Morissette-Utopia

 

[MiNiMoWs]

Sorrow for letting someone else define you
Know who you are at every age
What impression am I making?
I see me as other people see me
There is no going back
I can't stop feeling now
I am not the same, I'm growing up again
I am not the same
I'm growing up again
There's no going back I can't stop feeling now
I had to fantasize
I was a princess, Mum and Dad were Queen and King
I ought to have what feeling? (I have to hide this feeling)
I see me as other people see me
There is no going back
I can't stop feeling now
I am not the same, I'm growing up again
I am not the same
I'm growing up again
There's no going back I can't stop feeling now
Feeling now
There is no going back, and
I can't stop feeling now
I am not the same, I'm growing up again
I am not the same
I'm growing up again
There's no going back I can't stop feeling now
I had to fantasize
Just to survive
I was a famous artist
Everybody took me seriously
Even those who did
Never understood me
I had to fantasize
Just to survive
Evangeline/Cocteau Twins

Between the bars - Elliot Smith
drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make
drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
do what i say and i'll make you okay and drive them away
the images stuck in your head
people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still
drink up, baby, look at the stars, i'll kiss you again
between the bars where i'm seeing you
there with your hands in the air waiting to finally be caught
drink up one more time and i'll make you mine
keep you apart deep in my heart separate from the rest
where i like you the best
and keep the things you forgot
the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still

I was going to post his lyrics today too....wow

 

[silence]

Ohh ohh...
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..
This I promise you..
Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...
And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby
Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...
This I Promise You/Nsync

Still
Funny when you stop and think
times goes faster then you blink
nothings ever like it was
but girl we've got a special thing
all the happiness it brings
is more than enough
I know its hard to believe
your still the biggest part of me
all I'm living for
I still think about you
I still dream about you
I still want you
and need you by my side
I'm still mad about you
all I ever wanted was you
your still the one
It's hard to breathe when were apart
your like sunshine in my heart
I keep you here inside
you've been everything to me
you've been and always will be
the apple of my eye
And I know its hard to believe
your still the biggest part of me
all I'm living for
I still think about you
I still dream about you
I still want you
and need you by my side
I still mad about you
all i ever wanted was you
your still the one
If you love me
look into my eyes and say you do
I've been waiting all my life
for someone just like you
baby all that we've been through
girl im still in love with you
and I want you to know I do, I do
I still think about you
I still dream about you
I still want you
and need you by my side
I'm still mad about you
all I ever wanted was you
your still the one

1979 (Smashing Pumpkins)
Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around

-The Smashing Pumpkins
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June
We'll try and ease the pain
But somehow we'll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go
I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream
I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream
And I fail
But when I can,
I will
Try to understand
That when I can,
I will
Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad
When I can,
I will
Words defy the plans
When I can,
I will
Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I'll always feel this
No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When I can,
I will
Try to understand
That when I can,
I will

 

[lilygirl]

When I see you next time round in sorrow
Will you know what I been going through
My yesterdays have melted with my tomorrow
And the present leaves me with no point of view
When I see you next time round look into my eyes
Where we'd be never could decide
Borrowed moments they cannot fill the moments of our lives
And wishful thinking leaves me no place to hide
No place to hide
No place to hide
I see the shadows softly coming
Taking me into a place
Where they turn my life down
Leaving mourning with myself
And nothing to say
"Turn My Life Down" by Jefferson Airplane

 

[KAZ]

By a fave Canadian, Sarah Slean:
Blue Parade
I hear them coming
The Blue Parade
They're throwing snowflakes and
Singing my name
In deep blue voices
I hear them say
There's good love out there, just you wait, you wait
Oh hold on I'm coming
Don't let anybody in
He don't read stars now 'cause he's
Getting old
So busy neutralizing
So much it leaves me cold
And how could you lie,
How could you leave and take of my body
My hands, my deep blue dream
Oh hold on I'm coming
Don't let anybody in
Oh hold on I'm ready
Lock your doors and wait for me
Now leaves are falling from
The mercy tree
The blue surrounds me
So I can get some sleep and
Katie calls
Then she'll say
There's good love out there, just you wait, you wait
Oh hold on I'm coming
Don't let anybody in
Oh hold on I'm ready
Lock your doors and wait for me
Oh hold on I'm coming
Don't let anybody in
Oh good love I'm ready
Lock your doors and wait for me
On a cold blustry night, when the snow is coming down hard, and you've no where to go but bed with a big down comforter, a CD and a cup of hot-something, this is sweetness.

 

[Daisybabe]

The Promise, by When in Rome
When you need a friend,
don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.
But when you're in doubt,
and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around,
and I'll be there.
Chorus:
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.
When your day is through,
and so is your temper,
You know what to do,
I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout,
it's not what's intended.
These words just come out,
with no gripe to bear.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.
Still one of my all-time favorite songs.

 

[mashead testing]

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
That love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not living, it is not living
So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning
Ha im sure some of you know this one, oh and I edited it cos it said color not colour

 

[MiNiMoWs]

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
I'm packed and I'm holding I'm smiling
She living she golden and she lives for me
Says she lives for me
Ovation her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile
Like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play
She say I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life baby baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it to my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth
Will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down, I keep stock
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again said
How do I get back there to
The place where I fell asleep inside you
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said
I want something else to get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life baby baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right, all right
When the plane came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city we tripped
On the urge to feel alive but now I'm struggling to survive
Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess I must confess
Those little red panties they pass the test
Slides up around the belly
Face down on the mattress
One, and you hold me and we're broken
Still it's all that I want to do just a little now
Feel myself with a head made of the ground
I'm scared but I'm not coming down no no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile
But nothing is all right, all right
I want something else
To get me through this life baby
I want something else
Not listening when you say
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
The sky was gold it was rose
I was taking sips of it to my nose
And I wish I could get back there someplace
Back there in the place we used to
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
I want something else
Semi-Charmed Life/Third Eye Blind

 

[Furnace]

MiNi: thank you again
-----
Magdalena - A perfect cirlce
Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your
Holiest of altars
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my magdalena
I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black madonna
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One taste
One taste
One taste of you my Magdalena

Creed ~ "My Sacrifice"
Hello my friend, we meet again
It's been awhile, where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my heart a memory
A perfect love that you gave to me
Oh, I remember
When you are with me I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My Sacrifice
We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around
In an instant
It feels so good to realize
What's in yourself and within your mind
Let's find peace there
When you are with me I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My Sacrifice
I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again
When you are with me I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
Cause when you are with me I am free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My Sacrifice, My Sacrifice
I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again
My Sacrifice.

 

[Shuddr2Think]

5 years-bjork
You think you're denying me of something
Well I've got plenty
You're the one who's missing out
But you won't notice
'Til after five years
If you'll 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
Then they can't handle
You can't handle love
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
What's so scary ?
Not a threat in sight
You just can't handle
You can't handle love
You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle
I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms
I'm so bored of cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle
You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love,
It's obvious
You can't handle
I dare you, I dare you
I dare you, I dare you

Tenderness - General Public
I don't know when to start or when to stop
My luck's like a button
I can't stop pushing it
My head feels light
But I'm still in the dark
Seems like without tenderness there's something missing
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Where is it?
I don't know where I am but I know I don't like it
I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence
I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you're here,
But next night you're not
It always leaves me searching for a little
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?
Whistling in the graveyard
Calling up your girlfriend
Just trying to make her understand
You're squeezing the telephone like it was her hand
No question (so many questions)
She's going to catch you out boy
It all seems so underhand
Now she's the only thing that ever made you feel like a man, man
Madman, madman
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Tenderness
Tenderness
Where is it?
I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you're here,
But next night you're not
It always leaves me searching for a little
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?
Face like summer - Gorky's Zygotic Mynci
When you're sick to death of second best, pet
Why should the morning always find you unimpressed?
Is your love like a button?
You can't stop pushing it?
Oh this all night longing can be such a long time.
With a face like summer and hair like fire
Could you be the one to let in?
Cause I know that's where it begins
So young in years probably end in tears
But ? don't mind
Cause happiness is so hard to find
And I can still recall the sun going in
North wind came along today
And blew my dreams away
And when she lies in the sun
She don't cover her skin
From sun that's too strong to come in
I know that's where it begins
And I know that's where it begins (repeat to fade)
