Lover I Don't Have To Love

Artist(Band):Bright Eyes

I picked you out of a crowd and talked to you.

I said, "I like your shoes."
You said, "Thanks can I follow you?"
So it's up the stairs and out of view.
No prying eyes. I poured some wine.
I asked your name. You asked the time.
It is 2 o'clock. The club is closed and we are up the block.
Your hands are on me. I am pressing hard against your jeans.
Your tongue is in my mouth, trying hard to keep the words from coming out.
You didn't care to know who else may have been you before.

I want a lover I don't have to love.
I want a girl that is too sad to give a fuck.
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
I thought he said to meet him here, but I'm not sure.
I got the money if you've got the time.

You said, "It feels good."
I said, "I'll give it a try."

Then my mind went dark.
We both forgot where your car was parked.
Let's take the train. I'll meet up with the band in the morning.

Bad actors with bad habits.
Some sad singers they just play tragic.
Well, the phones ringing and the van is leaving.
Let's just keep touching. Let's just keep singing.

I want a lover I don't have to love.
I want a boy who is so drunk he doesn't talk.
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
I have a hunger and I can't seem to get full.
I need some meaning I can memorize.
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind.

But you write such pretty words.
But life is no storybook.
Love is an excuse to get hurt and to hurt.

"Do you like to hurt?"
"I do. I do."
"Then hurt me."
 
evanescence - everybody's fool

perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool

modest mouse - dark centre of the universe

Well I might
disintegrate into the thin air if you like
And I'm not
the dark center of the universe like you thought
Well it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am
And I'm pretty damn sure that anyone can
Easily, equally fuck ya over
Well God said something but he didn't mean it
Everyone's life ends but no one ever completes it
Dry and wet ice, they both melt
and you're equally cheated
Well it took a lot of work...
Well an endless ocean landing on an endless desert
Well it's funny as hell, but no one laughs when they get there
If you can't see the thin air
Why the hell should you care?
Well it took a lot of work...
Well sure you'll tell me you've got nothing to say
And I went and shook hands the other day
If you can't see the thin air then
What the hell is in your way?
 
This may be a bit off topic, but do people empathise with the lyrics they post? Do they relate directly to their current emotions, or are they just the lyrics of a song you felt sounded catchy, the one you're currently listening to, or one you have stuck in your head?


Orgy - Platinum

You can't escape what makes you tragic you know
Vicious cause you want to be
Leaving time possessed to please you
What might have been was never the way you envisioned things
So difficult to stop pretending what's this to you anyway

Turn down the voluptuous
Keeping close to me again
Hold back your virtues
You're fearless in motion

You found your way
So why keep asking me
Nothing common suits you
You live again in solitary
Look away for now beautiful alone
Now who decides to settle down
Maybe nobody really cares
What's this to you anyway

Something dirty's got you dear
Makes me want to be with you
Something painful's with you dear
Makes me want to be with you

You're better off saying nothing
Wish for a happy ending
You're better off saying nothing
Repent so all's forgiven
 
The Great Misconceptions Of Me - WASP

Welcome to the show the great finale's finally here
I thank you for coming into my theatre of fear
Welcome to the show, you're all witnesses you see
A privileged invitation to the last rights of me

Remember me? You can't save me
Mama you never needed me
No crimson king, look in my eye, you'll see
Mama I'm lonely, it's only me, only me

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million

I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamed
The idol of a million lonely faces look at me
Behind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyes
I've got their footprints all across my crimson mind

Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live

There is no love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free

I was the warrior, with an anthem in my soul
The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago
And remember me when it comes your time to choose
Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true

Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy
The strap on my back
Red, crimson red, no I was never to be
Only one crimson son, no it never was me

Living in the limelight little did I know
I was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul

It was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamed
But the dream became my nightmare and no-one could hear me scream
With these six-strings, I make a noose
To take my life, it's time to choose
The headlines read of my suicide, of my suicide

Oh sweet silence, where is the sting
I am no idol, no crimson king
I'm the imposter, the world has seen
My father was the idol, it was never me
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes

No love, to shelter me, only love
Love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love
Love set me free
 
ok so 2 of every 3 songs i pst are Modest Mouse songs, but its not my fault he sees life so like i do.

Moe: a little from column A, a little from column B

MIGHT - MODEST MOUSE

I might
And you might
But neither of us do, though
And neither of us will

I broke every bone in my goddamn jaw
That's a lot it's the last one I ever got(?)
I might
And you might
But neither of us do, though
And neither of us will
Yesterday night I broke every bone in my jaw
Thought so hard it's the last thing I ever thought

NOVOCAINE STAIN - MODEST MOUSE

When I can work out how it was
Then I'll tell you
TV stained my memories, yeah
I don' think that she's...
Remember through sounds
Remember through smells
Remember through colors
Remember through towns
With fear and fascination
On what was here
And what's replacing them now
Interchange plazas a mall
And crowded chain restaurants
More housing developments go up
Named after the things they replace
So welcome to Minnow Brook
And welcome to Shady Space
And it all seems a little abrupt
No I don't like this change of pace
 
i bolded the whole song cause the words really eat at me right now...:\

powderfinger - already gone

You’ve been working all your life
All weekends and overtime
While you’re trying to unwind
You can’t relate to the leisured life

Another day meanders by
Keeping nature’s tabled time
All these things just pass you by
And you can’t relax in a scheduled life

Promises already gone
There’s no escape it’s said and done
So keep your love forever young

You’ve been trying to decide
Multiply or just divide
All these things are on your mind
And you can’t relax in a leisured life

Promises already gone
There’s no escape it’s said and done
So keep your love forever young


moe: bit of both. i tend to only listen to music i can identify with...eg: i post lyrics which mean something to me, that i think others will enjoy listening to :)

Title: I Don't Wanna Be


I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by a deadly crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can't be the only one who's learned


I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think about me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Can I have everyone's attention please
See, not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay, dust, stone
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I'm trying to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
 
Cub - Sweet Pea

I went to a dance the other night
Saw a girl there, she was out of sight!
I asked a friend of mine who she could be
He said that her friend just called her Sweet Pea

Oh, Sweet Pea
C'mon, dance with me
C'mon c'mon c'mon and dance with me
Oh, Sweet Pea
Won't you be my girl
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl

I walked on over and I asked her to dance
Thinking maybe later we could make it romance
But every guy there was thinking like me
I had to stand in line to get a dance with Sweet Pea

Oh, Sweet Pea
C'mon, dance with me
C'mon c'mon c'mon and dance with me
Oh, Sweet Pea
Won't you be my girl
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl

Finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear
Convinced her that we out to get away from there
We took a little walk, I held her close to me
Underneath the stars I said to Sweet Pea

Oh, Sweet Pea
I love you, can't you see
Love you, love you, love you can't you see
Oh, Sweet Pea
Won't you be my girl
Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl
 
do you feel used?

there's a couple of lines in 3rd planet by Modest Mouse that i would like to share.

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I´ve got this thing that I consider my only art
of fucking people over.


and

The universe is shaped exactly like the earth
if you go straight long enough you´ll end up where you were.
 
The Legacy - Testament

We're gonna take you back
Through the pages of the past
Just another lonely boy

I could laugh and play
And live in any other way
Then the devil took my soul

The fortune and the fame
I knew I was not the same
And I know I'd never return

Looking at the sky
I knew I would never die
And forever shining through

Wish the sky would say
That blue would turn to grey
And I know I'd be there

Like was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me

Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one stays the same

Turn the pages back in time
Through the chapters in my mind
Life's too short to leave behind
It's too late

Like was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me

Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one
Knows my name
 
Daylight Dancer - Lacuna Coil

Answer me, it can't be so hard
Cry to relieve what's in your heart
Desolation, grief and agony

Trying to move
down in this grave
Trying to believe in every faith
As another bridge to clarity

Want to stay another way

Take another chance
to find a distant sanity
and turn your pain in truth
Take another chance
to fight a different enemy
and try to free it

Dance with me,
it can't be so hard
Time to reveal
what's in your heart
Desolation
grief and agony

Walking through a life decayed
while you're repeating
your mistakes
There's another chance
to try to get away

Take another chance
to find a distant sanity
and turn your pain in truth
Take another chance
to fight a different enemy
and try to free it
 
weezer - why bother

i know i should get next to you
you've got a look that made me think you're cool
but it's just sexual attraction
it's nothing real
so i'd better keep whackin

why bother
it's gonna hurt me
it's gonna kill when you desert me
this happened to me twice before
won't happen to me anymore

i've known a lotta girls before
what's the harm in knowing one more?
maybe we could even get together
maybe you could break my heart next summer

why bother
it's gonna hurt me
it's gonna kill when you desert me
this happened to me twice before
won't happen to me anymore

it's a crying shame i'm all alone
not with you - nor her - nor anyone
won't deny me of my head
crack it open and then i would share

why bother
it's gonna hurt me
it's gonna kill when you desert me
this happened to me twice before
won't happen to me anymore
 
In The Mist She Was Standing - Opeth

Seven milestones...
Under a watching autumn eye
Contorted trees are spreading forth
The message of the wind

With frozen hands I rode with the stars

With anger the wind blew
Giving wings to my stallion
Clouds gathered across the moon
Blazing the white light

Passing the lake I know so well
I am near, yet so far away

Arrival...
I saw her shadow (standing) in the darkness
Awaiting me like the night
Awaits the day
Standing silent smiling at my presence
A black candle holds the only light

Darkness encloses
And the candle seem to expire
In her cold, cold hand
And as a forlorn soul
It will fade away

Touching her flesh in this night
My blood froze forever
Embraced before the dawn
A kiss brought total eclipse

And she spoke
Once and forever
I am so cold
In mist enrobed the twilight
She was standing...
 
English Summer Rain - Placebo


Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.

I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.
I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.

Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.

I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.
I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.

Hold your breath and count to ten,
And fall apart and start again,
Hold your breath and count to ten,
Start again, start again...
Hold your breath and count your step,
And fall apart and start again,
Start again... [x13]

Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.

Hold your breath and count to ten,
And fall apart and start again,
hold your breath and count to ten,
Start again, start again...
Hold your breath and count to ten,
And fall apart and start again,
Old your breath and count to ten,
And start again, and start again,

Start again... [x16]
 
Nothing Better :: The Postal Service

Will someone please call a surgeon who can crack my ribs
and repair this broken heart that you're deserting for better company? I can't accept that it's over and I will block the door
like a goalie tending the net in the third quarter
of a tied-game rivalry.. So just say how to make it right
and I swear I'll do my best to comply.
Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

[jenny lewis]
I feel I must interject here, you're getting carried away,
feeling sorry for youself with these revisions and gaps in history.
So let me help you remember. I've made charts
and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why I have to leave
So please back away and let me go.

I can't my darling I love you so.
oh oh oh.
Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better than making you my bride and slowly growing old together.

[jenny lewis]
don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

I admit that I have made mistakes
and I swear I'll never wrong you again

[jenny lewis]
you've got a lure I can't deny,
but you've had your chance so say goodbye,
say goodbye
 
Artist: Sheryl Crow
Title: If It Makes You Happy


I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?

I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

Chorus

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

modest mouse...

theres also this line from the album the moon and antarctica:

...It all will fall, fall right into place...

modest mouse - gravity rides everything...

Oh gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that riding on your everything?
It isn't anything at all
Oh gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels?
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I wanna go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place




...i love modest mouse cause their lyrics are so easily identified with :) *waits for them to tour Aus*
 
"Sometimes When We Touch"
sang by various artist in the 70's
from barry Manilow, Bonnie Tyler
but my favorite version is with
Dan Fogelberg


You asked me if I loved you
and I choked on my reply
I rather hurt you honestly
than miss lead you with a lie
and who am I to judge you
on what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
to see the real you

and sometimes when we touch
the honesty to much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you 'til I die
'til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til
the fear in me subsides
romancing all his strategie
leaves me battling with my pride
but through the insecurity
some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
still trapped within my truths
a hesatant prized fighter
still trapped within my youth
and sometimes when we touch
the honesty to much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you 'til I die
'til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til
the fear in me subsides
at times I like to break you
and drag you to your knees
at times I like to break through
and hold you endlessly
at times I understand you
and I know how hard you've tried
I watched why love comands you
and I watched love pass you by
at times I think we're drifters
still searching for a friend
a brother or a sister
but then the passion flares again

and sometimes when we touch
the honesty to much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you 'til I die
'til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til
the fear in me subsides
