Lyrics That Appeal To You Today!

Ash - Lost In You

Lying wide awake under strange skies
Wanting to call you but it is late at night
And you're far away
But you are always on my mind
I feel like I'm on fire, nothing I can do
I'm troubled with doubt
Though I know it is not true
And it's times like these
When I am dying to speak to you
I'm dying to get through
I'm dying to speak to you
Dying to get through
I'm dying to speak to you
Staring at the wall I sink inside
I think about it all I get caught up in my life
I can't think straight
Because it's tearing up my mind
I feel like I'm on fire, nothing I can do
I'm troubled with doubt
Though I know it is not true
And it's times like these
When I'm dying to speak to you
Dying to get through
Dying to get through
The more that I think, how I need you
The more that I think, the more it seems true
And now it means more
Than I ever meant it to
Ever meant it to
Lying wide awake under strange skies
Wanting to call you but it is late at night
And you're far away
But you are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
 
T. Rex - Cosmic Dancer (1971):
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was ahh
I was dancing when I was ahh

I danced myself right out the womb
I danced myself right out the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself right out the womb

I was dancing when I was eight
I was dancing when I was eight
Is it strange to dance so late?
Is it strange to dance so late?

I danced myself into the tomb
I danced myself into the tomb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself into the tomb

Is it wrong to understand
The fear that dwells inside a man?
What's it like to be a loon?
I liken it to a balloon
 
Sophie B. Hawkins - Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

That old dog has chained you up alright
Give you everything you need
To live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero

Damn I wish I was your lover
I’ll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I’ll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won’t feel ashamed

Open up on the inside gonna fill you up gonna make you cry

This monkey can’t stand to see you black and blue
Give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good
Don’t say you’ll stay
’cause then you go away

Damn I wish I was your lover
I’ll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I’ll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won’t feel ashamed

Shucks, for me there is no other
You’re the only shoe that fits
I can’t imagine I’ll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

If I was your girl believe me
I’d turn on the rolling stones
We could groove along and feel much better
I could do it forever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven’s door I’m sure
We don’t need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever

I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind
I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you

Damn I wish I was your lover
I’ll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I’ll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won’t feel ashamed

Shucks, for me there is no other
You’re the only shoe that fits
I can’t imagine I’ll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

Just open up I’m gonna come inside I wanna fill you up I wanna make you cry.....
(damn I wish I was your lover)
Gettin’ on the subway and I’m comin’ uptown....
(damn I wish I was your lover)
Standing on a street corner waiting for my love to change....
(damn I wish I was your lover)
Feelin’ like a school boy, too shy and too young....
(damn I wish I was your lover)
Open up I wanna come inside I wana fill you up I wanna make you cry....
(damn I wish I was your lover)
Gettin’ on my camel and I’ll ride it uptown....
(damn I wish I was your lover)
Hanging around this jungle, wishing that this.....
 
so i cant find the lyrics

but quess - maroon

reminds me of everytime i hook up with this boy
 
oh my love ~ john lennon

oh my love for the first time in
my life
my eyes are wide open
oh my lover for the first time in
my life
my eyes can see
i see the wind, oh i see the
trees
everything is clear in my heart
i see the clouds, oh i see the
sky
everything is clear in our world
oh my love for the first time in
my life
my mind is wide open
oh my lover for the first time in
my life
my mind can feel
i feel sorrow, oh i feel dreams
everything is clear in my heart
everything is clear in our world
i feel life, oh i feel love

 
NIN - gave up

perfect little dream
the kind that hurts the most
forgot how it feels
well almost
no one to blame
always the same
open my eyes
wake up,wake up,wake up,wake up
wake up in flames

it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me see the light

smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do

covered with hope and vaseline
still cannot fix this broken machine
watching the hole it used to be mine
just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
of the trust i will betray
give it to me i throw it away
after everything i've done
i hate myself for what i've become

it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me see the light

smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do

i tried,i gave up,i tried,i gave up...

smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do (throw it away)

...

smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true (throw it away)
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do (throw it away)
(throw it away),(throw it away),(throw it away),(throw it away)
 
Kings of Leon....."The Bucket"

This song means so much to me right now, and probably will mean so much forever. It's not about the lyrics, it's about the memory.


I'll be the one to show you the way
You'll be the one to always complain
3 in the morning come a bang bang bang
All out of fags and I just cant wait
Cancel the thing that I said I'd do
I don't feel comfortable talking to you
Unless you got the zipper fixed on my shoe
Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two.

18, balding, star
Golden, fallen, heart.

Look at the shaky's, whats with the blush
Fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
Everyone's gathered to idolize me
I hate the way you talk your Japanese scream
It's been too long since I left the shed
You kick the bucket and I'll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made
Too young to die but old is the grave.

18, balding, star
Golden, fallen, heart.

I'm a gonna show the way
I'm a gonna show the way.

18, balding, star!!
 
Sean Lennon - Mystery Juice

She won't speak to me
Won't speak
And it's all my own fault.

Baby I'm afraid to let you know
They stole the show and towed the rowboat
Though slow
We're on the go like rabbits in the snow

Baby I'm a lonely kind of man
A rapper with a forty in his hand
I can't stand
When you talk about that other man

Everyday I watch the TV shows
It's getting so I know the shows hosts
I don't boast
Maybe I should try and make the most

I'm always biting more than I can chew
To lose the blues I choose to flew the coop
Who knew?
Is it news that you were out the loop

Dreaming is a singing of the mind
And taste is like seeing to the blind
 
sarah harmer - the hideout


look at that green
out through the screen
after a quick rain came
so fast that
there wasn't time
to roll up the window
and pull the clothes down off the line
but i don't care
it was so dry
and the grass is happy
and i think 'so am i'
'cause i'm through thinking about you

and for now i'm out at the hideout
far enough outside of town
you can come
you can stay
if there's something you need
to get away from

look at the day dropping away
hear the traffic
on a distant sideroad down the way
i think the dust has settled on me
but i don't care, it was so calm
i knew i wouldn't stay forever
knew i'd get some things together
and move on

but for now i'm out at the hideout
far enough outside of town
you can come
you can stay
if there's something you need
to get away from

i just thought of you
and what you said
laid out on the pullout
did you forget?
you said you wouldn't forget

look at that green
out through the screen
after a quick rain came
so fast that
there wasn't time
to roll up the window
and pull the clothes down off the line
but i don't care
it was so dry
the grass is happy and i think 'so am i'
'cause i'm through thinking about you

and for now i'm out at the hideout
far enough outside of town
you can come out
you can come out
ah when there is no one around
oh out at the hideout
far enough from being found
you can come
you can stay
if there's something you need
to get away from
 
Maxïmo Park - Apply Some Pressure

You know that I,
would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
still alive Next Year,
you might be fine,
with the way i think about myself,
before you came,
i rarely thought about myself,

How dya feel,
I found a body underneath,
inside your head,
things i never thought about,

You know that I,
would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
still alive Next Year

What's my view,
well how am i supposed to know
write to review,
well how objective can i be?

well how am i supposed to know
write to review,
well how objective can i be?

You know that I,
would love to see you in that dress,
I hope that I,
will live to see you undress,
the every dare, is part of what consumes me,
the hit i deal, is part of what fuels me,

I testify, to hide my guilty feelings,
I must confess, I'd like to be caught stealing,

You know that I,
would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
still alive Next Year

What's my view,
well how am i supposed to know
write to review,
well how objective can i be?
What's my view,
well how am i supposed to know
write to review,
well how objective can i be?

I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,
I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,

What happens when you lose every-thing,
you just start again,
you start all over again,
What happens when you lose every-thing,
you just start again,
you start all over again,

I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,
I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,

What happens when you lose every-thing,
you just start again,
you start all over again,
What happens when you lose every-thing,
you just start again,
you start all over again,

What happens when you lose every-thing,
you just start again,
you start all over again,
(Apply some pressure)

What happens when you lose some pressure,
apply some pressure,
you lose some pressure
apply some pressure,
you lose some pressure
apply some pressure,
you lose some pressure

What happens when you lose some pressure,
apply some pressure,
you lose some pressure
(on every-thing)
you lose some pressure
you just start again,

You know that I,
would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
still alive Next Year,
You know that I,
would love to see you in that dress,
I hope that I,
will live to see you undress.
 
Beck - Guess I'm Doing Fine

There's a blue bird at my window
I can't hear the songs he sings
All the jewels in heaven
They don't look the same to me

I just wade the tides that turned
Till I learn to leave the past behind

It's only lies that I?m living
It's only tears that I?m crying
It's only you that I?m losing
Guess I?m doing fine

All the battlements are empty
And the moon is laying low
Yellow roses in the graveyard
Got no time to watch them grow

Now I bade a friend farewell
I can do whatever pleases me

It's only lies that I?m living
It's only tears that I?m crying
It's only you that I?m losing
Guess I'm doing fine

Press my face up to the window
To see how warm it is inside
See the things that I?ve been missing
Missing all this time

It's only lies that I?m living
It's only tears that I?m crying
It's only you that I?m losing
 
Tom Petty - Last Dance with Mary Jane

She grew up in a Indiana town,
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around.
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night.

Well she moved down here at the age of eighteen,
She blew the boys away; was more than they'd seen.
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you, baby, but I got to keep movin' - on.
Keep movin' on."

Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain.
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again.

Well I don't know but I've been told, you never slow down,
you never grow old.
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of goin' down,
Tired of myself, tired of this town,
Oh my, my, oh hell yes - Honey put on that party dress.
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as I come . cause I can't stay long.

Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain.
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again.

There's pigeons down on Market Square,
She's standing in her underwear.
Lookin' down from a hotel room,
Nightfall will be coming soon.
Oh my, my, oh hell yes, you got to put on that party dress.
It was too cold to cry, when I woke up alone.
I hit my last number, I walked to the road.

Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain.
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again.
 
Saul Williams - Coded Language:

WHEREAS, breakbeats have been the missing link connecting the diasporic
community to its drum woven past.
WHEREAS the quantised drum has allowed the whirling mathematicians to
calculate the ever changing distance between rock and stardom.
WHEREAS the velocity of the spinning vinyl, cross-faded, spun backwards, and re-released at the same given moment of recorded history , yet at a different moment in time's continuum has allowed history to catch up with
the present:

We do hereby declare reality unkempt by the changing standards of dialogue.
Statements, such as, "keep it real", especially when punctuating or
anticipating modes of ultra-violence inflicted psychologically or physically
or depicting an unchanging rule of events will hence forth be seen as
retro-active and not representative of the individually determined is.

FURTHERMORE, as determined by the collective consciousness of this state of being and the lessened distance between thought patterns and their secular manifestations, the role of men as listening receptacles is to be increased by a number no less than 70 percent of the current enlisted as vocal aggressors.

Motherfuckers better realize, now is the time to self-actualize. We have found evidence that hip hops standard 85 rpm, when increased by a number as least half the rate of it's standard or decreased at ¾ of its speed, may be a determining factor in heightening consciousness.

Studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face of the
unchanging, the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth.

Equate rhyme with reason, Sun with season

Our cyclical relationship to phenomenon has encouraged scholars to erase the centers of periods, thus symbolizing the non-linear character of cause and effect --
Reject mediocrity!

Your current frequencies of understanding outweigh that which as been given for you to understand.
The current standard is the equivalent of an adolescent restricted to the
diet of an infant.
The rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional and deformative
symptoms and could not properly mature on a diet of apple sauce and crushed pears.
Light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness.
The role of darkness is not to be seen as, or equated with, Ignorance, but
with the unknown, and the mysteries of the unseen.

Thus, in the name of:

COUNTLESS UNNAMED.

We claim the present as the pre-sent, as the hereafter.
We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun.
We are not afraid of the darkness, we trust that the moon shall guide us.
We are determining the future at this very moment.
We now know that the heart is the philosophers' stone
Our music is our alchemy.

We stand as the manifested equivalent of 3 buckets of water and a hand full of minerals, thus realizing that those very buckets turned upside down
supply the percussion factor of forever.
If you must count to keep the beat then count.
Find you mantra and awaken your subconscious.
Curve you circles counterclockwise
Use your cipher to decipher, Coded Language, man made laws.

Climb waterfalls and trees, commune with nature, snakes and bees.
Let your children name themselves and claim themselves as the new day for today we are determined to be the channelers of these changing frequencies into songs, paintings, writings, dance, drama, photography, carpentry, crafts, love, and love.

We enlist every instrument: Acoustic, electronic.
Every so-called race, gender, and sexual preference.
Every per-son as beings of sound to acknowledge their responsibility to
uplift the consciousness of the entire fucking World.

Any utterance will be un-aimed, will be disclaimed - two rappers slain
Any utterance will be un-aimed, will be disclaimed - two rappers slain.

Both of these are kinda meant tongue-in-cheek :)

Courtney Love - Jennifer's Body

I know it
I can’t feel it
Well I know it enough to believe it
And I know it
I can’t see it
But I know it enough to believe it
Bet on you, bet on me
My bitter half has bitten me
Bet on you, bet on me
Sleeping with my enemy
Myself
Myself
The pieces of jennifer’s body
Found pieces of jennifer’s body
Found pieces of jennifer’s body
Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep
Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep
You’re hungry but I’m starving
He cuts you down from the tree
He keeps you in a box by the bed
Alive but just barely
He said I’m your lover I’m your friend I’m pure
And he hit me again
With a bullet
Number one
Kill the family
Save the son
Himself
Himself
Found pieces of jennifer’s body
Found pieces of jennifer’s body
Found pieces of jennifer’s body
Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep
Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep
Now it’s mine

The Beautiful South - You keep it all in

You know your problem
You keep it all in
You know your problem
You keep it all in

That’s right
The conversation we had last night
When all I wanted to do was
Knife you in the heart
I kept it all in

You know your problem
You keep it all in
You know your problem
You keep it all in

Midnight, a husband getting ready to fight
A daughter sleeps alone with the light
Turned on, she bears but
Keeps it all in

Just like that murder in ’73
Just like that robbery in ’62
With all there things that have happened to me
I kept it all in
Why do you keep on telling me now

You know your problem
You keep it all in
You know your problem
You keep it all in

That’s sweet
That conversation we had last week
When you gagged and bound me up to my seat
You’re right, I do
I keep it all in
 
Only partial right now . . . but the sentiment is there . . . at least tonight . . .

Provider--N.E.R.D.

Woke up I had the same clothes on I had on last night
Damn
I must have passed out
And cash is just like the clothes I worn yesterday
We are broke
Damn
I gotta get my ass out
I went to see what my friend was talking about
Drugs
He told me cocaine would get you clout
My momma said he’s trouble and schools my route
But I went to high school and got kicked out
So I’m driving this truck down the 95
I pray to God I make it home alive
I don’t get pulled over by the man
I just want to make it home to hold your hand


Chorus

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don’t see my face no more
I’m a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
You don’t see my face no more
I’m a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight


You say you don’t want me to go but I have to
Please don’t weep
I love you

I refuse to be a bum
Especially coming where I’m from
I’m a provider girl
And I love you
So it’s just like I said before
Heading down 95
Dodging Johnny law
I don’t need a ticket though I never got one
If he pulls me over
He can feel my shotgun
I think about life pull down my hat
It’s just like this road I don’t know where I’m at

I don’t want to be another cocaine story
Will I find my sanity
Where I find my glory
Come on

Repeat Chorus

Someday, Someday, this will be over
We’ll raise a family
I’ll get a job and I’ll be a voter
And if I die
It will change you
Change you
I watch over a family
But only as an angel

So don’t tell me you don’t know what you see
When you’re looking at a motherfucker just like me
I’m a provider girl
I said don’t tell me you don’t know what you see
When you’re looking at a motherfucker just like me
I’m a rider girl

Repeat Chorus

I love you girl
I’m doing this for us
I don’t know any better
What am I supposed to do
Nothing I love you
 
Wilco - Alone

Shakin' sugar from a sugar spoon
Peppermint tea, afternoon
Alone, alone, alone

Takin' a shower
Take another nap
Watching television
Takin' a bath
Alone, alone, alone

I feel like a book but I just can't start it
I feel like a lover, brokenhearted
I look in the mirror at the face in the glass
I look like a question no one ever asked

Alone
Like I'm supposed to be
Alone, lonely, alone
Like I'm supposed to be

I could go for a walk
I could go for a drive
Listen to the stereo
Staying inside
Alone, alone, alone

I feel like a book but I just can't start it
I feel like a lover, broken-hearted
I look in the mirror at the face in the glass
I look like a question no one ever asked

Alone
Like I'm supposed to be
Alone, lonely, alone
Like I'm supposed to be

Shakin' sugar from a table spoon
Bitter black coffee, beneath the moon
Alone, alone, alone

I feel like a book with the big ghost heart (?)
I didn't finish, I didn't start it
I look in the mirror at the face in the glass
I look like a question no one ever asked

Alone
Like I'm supposed to be
Alone, lonely, alone
Like I'm supposed to be
 
I've got a tounge that could lift you up and throw you against the wall, given the chance. ;-)
So, watch your filthy flirty mouth, 'kay? kay.
You only wish i had a dirty mouth,
You'd have to get the privilege first.
You'd have to do something,
something that would earn the touch across your face
with my gentle palm.

game on.

Death From Above 1979 - Romantic Rights

Your romantic rights are all that you got,
Push'em down son it's more than just lip,
C'mon girl I know you know what you want,
C'mon c'mon now and give'em all shhhh

You're beating walls now you just won't quit,
You play with shapes but they just won't fit,
I know you love me you don't know what you like,
You're watching TV I stay up all night.

I don't need you, I want you

South Carolina kid is heating things up,
His wounds are bleeding and we're filling the cup,
This game will save us if we don't die young,
C'mon c'mon yeah, have some fun.

Come here baby I love your company,
We could do it and start a family,
She was living alone, unhappily
We could do it, it's right romantically.

I don't need you, I want you
 
Brooke Fraser - Better

Take my shoulder back now
Your head's too heavy for me
Please don't come around here no more
'Cos I asked you to stop
And you wouldn't

[Chorus]
I would give anything to make you better
I would give anything to point you to free
I would give anything to help you realise

I loved you 'til it killed me
So my logic wouldn't hurt you
I know you might blame me anyway
Well I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

[Chorus]
[added]
You're not helping yourself to me

I've tried all the things they told me
Trying to close up the wounds left open by you
And if I seem doubtful, distrusting.....I am
You said you wouldn't do it agin
You said you wouldn't do it again

[Chorus]
[added]
You're not helping yourself
You're not helping yourself by hurting me

Anything just to try and help you see
You ain't helping yourself by hurting me
Time to let you go, time for you to see
You ain't helping yourself by hurting me
 
She calls out to the man on the street
’sir, can you help me?
It’s cold and I’ve nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me? ’

He walks on, doesn’t look back
He pretends he can’t hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it’s another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it’s just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she’s been crying
She’s got blisters on the soles of her feet
Can’t walk but she’s trying

Oh think twice...

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she’s been there
Probably been moved on from every place
’cos she didn’t fit in there

Oh think twice...
