Lyrics That Appeal To You Today!

Jesus' Hands

Well I'd like to hang out
But I can tell that you're not a drinking crowd
I got places to go, people to see
I got a thirst that would make the ocean proud

Hey brother, hey sister
Don't you see a crack form in the dam
For a loser, no one can touch him
He's out slipping through Jesus' hands

I'm walking in circles in a waiting room
For a welcome I don't feel in my soul
I watch the time pass, it pours in my glass
I drink it down, blood from a stone

Hey brother, hey sister
Don't you see a crack form in the dam
For a loser, no one can touch him
He's out slipping through Jesus' hands

Looking for love in all the wrong places
The sidewalks and the sky
Looking for something that no one can give me
And no one can help me buy

Oh brother, oh sister
Don't you see a crack form in the dam
For a loser, no one can touch him
He's out slipping through Jesus' hands

Well I'd like to hang out
But I can tell that you're not a drinking crowd
I got nowhere to go, no one to see
I got a thirst that would make the ocean proud

Mark Eitzel/American Music Club 1991
 
I'll rip it for you and pm a link. i'll be recording a cover of it sometime soon. American Music Club is undeniable awesome, a lost gem of the late 80's/early 90's alternative scene. They reformed and toured last year after being broken up for almost a decade. Mark Eitzel also has a bunch of solo stuff, but only West begins to approach AMC.
 
another song i'm learning


Sweethearts

'Cause he's always living back in Dixon
Circa 1949
And we're all sitting
at the fountain
at the five and dime

'Cause he's living in some B-movie
The lines they are so clearly drawn
In black and white life is so easy
And we're all coming along
on this one

'Cause he's on a secret mission
Headquarters just radioed in
He left his baby at the dancehall
While the band plays on
some sweet song

And on a mission over China
The lady opens up her arms
The flowers bloom where you haved placed them
And the lady smiles
just like mom

Angels wings are icing over
McDonnell-Douglas olive drab
They bear the names of our sweethearts
And the captain smiles
as we crash

'Cause in the mind of Ronald Reagan
Wheels they turn and gears they grind
Buildings collapse in slow motion
And trains collide, everything is fine
Everything is fine
Everything is fine

Camper Van Beethoven 1989
[from Key Lime Pie, an album everyone should own]
 
more camper van beethoven...the entire album is worth posting, but this really appropriate.

June

Are you weary of the lengthening days?
Do you secretly wish for November's rain?
And the harvest moon to reign in the sky (now that it's June)
There is nothing in this world more bitter than Spring

Now I wrote you this letter because
The clothes were hung on the line
And the crows flew out of the field
And up into the sky
I'm lying here in the station
And stretching out on the tracks
Are all the possible places that I might arrive

There is nothing in this world more bitter than love
In all those long days of June
Bring me the long, brown grass now that it's dry
There is nothing in this world more bitter than Spring

Camper Van Beethoven 1989
 
i LOVE this song!!!

Daniel Powter - Bad Day

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the brink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
 
Husband don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day
Daddy don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum

SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORLD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL

There's a funeral in the town, some guy from the top estate
Seems they found him under a train, and yet he had it all on a plate

SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORLD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL

Husband don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day

SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORLD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL
 
you can tuck it on the inside
you can throw it on the floor
you can wave it on the outside
like you never did before
you get the diplomatic treatment
you get the force fed future
get the funk after death
get the wisenheimer brainstorm

(I'm in touch with your world)
so don't you try to hide it
(I'm in touch with your world)
and nobody's gonna buy it
it's such a lovely way to go
it's such a lovely way to go

I been lying on your feathers
you keep talkin' about the weather
I'm a psilocybin pony
you're a flick fandango phoney
it's a sticky contradiction
it's a thing you call creation
everything is science fiction
and I ought to know

(I'm in touch with your world)
so don't you try to hide it
(I'm in touch with your world)
and nobody's gonna buy it
it's such a lovely way to go
it's such a lovely way to go-uh-o-o-o

(I'm in touch with your world)
(I'm in touch with your world)
(I'm in touch with your world)
(I'm in touch with your world)

trouble--coldplay

Oh no, I see
The spider web is tangled up with me
And I lost my head
And thought of all the stupid things I've said

Oh no, what's this?
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turn to run
And thought of all the stupid things I've done

And I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to do you wrong
And ah, well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh, no I never meant to do you harm

Oh no, I see
The spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
But here am I in my little bubble

Singing out
I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to do you wrong
And ah, well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh, no I never meant to do you harm

They spun a web for me
An<< They spun a web for me
An<< They spun a web for me
 
Razorlight- Get it and Go

We talked all night about suicide
And she said if this is living
How come i never feel alive?

First time you're there
Well it gets you up
Second time alright
But its just not enough
No, it shootss through your veins
Tears all you nerves appart

You know its alright

You give it a go
You give it a go
You get a little high
And you get a little low

I've seen you there so many times
You had your hands in your pocket
You said "I've just got this message on my phone, and its blowing my mind, You know its tearing me up inside out"
Strangles me, Strangles me

You know
First time you're there
Well it gets you up
Second times alright
But its the second circle of hell in your mind
It shoots through your veins
It tears all you nerves appart

Why dont you slide on down with me
And if your hanging on my words
Well thats alright with me
Because its just so easy
And we'll be alright

Count your fingers to four
One, Two, Three, Four,
And thats it
 
Undercovers On by Rival Schools

Crept on you slowly
But faster than you could see
It's not like I noticed
I wouldn't be the first one you let in
The same person that you know would forget to be honest
I might be the furthest from your mind
Whatever you told me somehow you sold me on
I want to believe it til I see later on
Apparition counterfeit
Can this racket go on another year
Overconfident, maybe
You're still here
Misplaced my fear
Whatever you told me, somehow you sold me on
I want to believe it til I see later on
You cross the other way
And hope I didnt see you
I start calling out your name
Cause I want to meet you again
Dont know why you say youre doing fine
That's not what it looks like
Something doesntfeel right
Your undercovers on
You'reacting kind of warm
But soon you'vegot to leave
There's something you need
I'm not invited to go
Those people that you know
Well, they don't care about you
Could live easily without you
 
I'm in a hard, ghetto, life's a bitch mood right now . . . :eek:

I Gotcha Back--GZA

Chorus: GZA and RZA

I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front
Cause it's the niggaz that front, they be pullin stunts
I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front
Cause it's the niggaz who front (they be pullin stunts)

Lyrics:

I was always taught my do's and don'ts
For do's I did, and for don'ts, I said I won't
I'm from Brooklyn, a place where stars are born
Streets are shot up, apartment buildings are torn
and ripped up, stripped up, shacked up and backed up
from fiends, cause the bosses on the scene, they got it cracked up
Kids are slingin in my lobby
Little Steve and Bobby
Gettin paid but it's a life-threatening hobby
Yeah, they still play hide and seek
The fiends seek for the crack, and they hide and let the cops peep
Grown folks say they should be out on their own
Before the gangs come and blow up their mom's home
Because they lifestyle is hectic, so fuckin hectic
Blaow! Blaow! Blaow! Bullets are ejected
My lifestyle was so far from well
Coulda wrote a book with a title "Age 12 and Goin through Hell"
Then I realized the plan
I'm trapped in a deadly video game, with just one man
So I don't only watch my back, I watch my front
Cause it's the niggaz who front, they be pullin stunts
Back on the Ave of Lavonia and Bristol with a pistol
Stickin up Pamela and Crystal
You know your town is dangerous when you see the strangest
kid come home from doin the bid and nuthin changes
What is the meaning of CRIME (what?)
Is it Criminals Robbin Innocent Motherfuckers Everytime?
Little shorties take walks to the schoolyard
Tryin to solve the puzzles to why is life so hard
Then as soon as they reached the playground, blaow!
Shots ring off and now one of them lay down
It's so hard to escape the gunfire
I wish I could rule it out like an umpire
But it's an everlasting game, and it never cease to exist
Only the players change, so...






Chorus 3X

RZA - I gotcha back (8X)
I gotcha back so you best to watch your front
Cause it's the niggaz who front, that be pullin stunts
I gotcha back but you best to watch your front
It's the niggaz who front, that be pullin stunts

Outro: (LP version only)

*old man*
Your, tech, nique, is, mag-ni-ficent
When cut across the neck
A sound like wailing winter winds is heard, they say
I'd always hoped to cut someone like that someday
To hear that sound
But to have it happen to my own neck is... ridiculous
*man gasps for air*

Death From Above 1979 - Luno (Bloc Party cover)

Code: 
And you're tired of your Mum
And you're tired of your Dad
Got you jumping through hoops
Got you shaving your legs
Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass over you

And you're tired of your face
And you're tired of your nose
Got you jumping through hoops
Got you shaving your legs
Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass over you

And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

There will be no hesitation
There will be no confrontation
There will be no indication
There will be no cause
There will be no exultation
There will be no justification
There will be no way at all

And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

Luno
Come back to me the the way you were
The way you were when we were young
I'm trying to tell you everything
I'm trying to tell you everything

I can heal the blind
I can cure the sick
I can say the right things
I can say the right things
Where d'you get so cruel
Where do you go
Cos you're never here

And your nose is bleeding
You deserve it
You've been lying to me
 
Ride - In A Different Place

Blowing bubbles, lying down,
Waiting for the rain to fall.
Laughing at the people,
Wonder why they always rush, never slow down.

And we're smiling, when we're sleeping.
And we're smiling, when we're waking.

Even if the rain falls down, and all the sky turns cold,
I will feel fine.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed,
But you and I are in a different time.

Floating in and out of time,
In and out of space.
No one can touch us,
We're in a different place.
 
I fucking love this song, I even loved it before it reminded me of her . . .

Luna--Smashing Pumpkins

What moonsongs
Do you sing your babies?
What sunshine do you bring?

Who belongs
Who decides who's crazy
Who rights wrongs where others cling?

I'll sing for you
If you want me to
I'll give to you
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break

I go along
Just because I'm lazy
I go along to be with you

And those moonsongs
That you sing your babies
Will be the songs to see you through

I'll hear your song
If you want me to
I'll sing along
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break

I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you
So in love
I'm in love with you
With you
I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you
So in love
I'm in love with you
I'm
I'm so in love
I'm in love with you
 
You make me feel like I’m a whore
Like I’m the one who’s there to bore you now
It’s always gonna be this way
Get the fuck away

‘Cause I can’t seem to show you what you wanna see
I can never give you anything you need
I’m sick of wasting time on what can never be
I cannot control you into wanting me

You always wanna steal the light
By stepping on the ones who fight for you
It’s always gonna be the same
Get the fuck away

‘Cause I can’t seem to show you what you wanna see
I can never give you anything you need
I’m sick of wasting time on what can never be
I cannot control you into wanting me

I hate what you are
I’ll break you and leave you scarred
I hate what you are
I’ll break you and leave you scarred
I hate what you are

‘Cause I can’t seem to show you what you wanna see
I can never give you anything you need
I’m sick of wasting time on what can never be
I cannot control you into wanting me now

Into wanting me now
Into wanting me now
Into wanting me now
Into wanting me


SO FITTING :X And a great angry song!


Lyrics by Seether
 
This song makes me cry. Somehow its about me.

Evenescence - Hello


playground school bell rings again
rain clouds come to play again
has no one told you she's not breathing?
hello i'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
hello

if i smile and don't believe
soon i know i'll wake from this dream
don't try to fix me i'm not broken
hello i'm the lie living for you so you can hide
don't cry

suddenly i know i'm not sleeping
hello i'm still here
all that's left of yesterday
 
i love this song :eek:

the terminal ~ rupert holmes
I've come back this mornin' to where I first
came alive
Here within this terminal where the buses
arrive
I was a commuter on the 804
Work for a computer on the 19th floor and...

You came down the aisle of the bus and you
sat by my side
Shoulder up to shoulder we shared that 9
o'clock ride
Oh, my heart was screamin' as you left your
seat
Followin' your movements I was at your feet
and...

Oh, down into the terminal both of us smiled
So we entered the terminal just as you smiled
"Won't you leave out work for today?" you
ask of me then
So I phoned-in-sick on the way to the home
of a friend
We were all alone from 10 A.M. till 3
Really thought the fire had gone out of me
but...

You awoke the sleep of my life from gray
into red
Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise
from the dead
Could have held up budding my entire life
But I had to get home to the kids and the
wife and...
So I left for the terminal where I began
Baby, no, I wouldn't have left if I'd been
half a man

So here I am this morning where love had
asked for the dance
Here within this terminal where I passed on
a chance
Lord, I'll never find her though I've truly tried
Probably she's found another bus to ride and...

I am now about to begin the last of my days
I'm within what others would call a terminal
phase
I myself can only say it's livin' dead
Ridin' to the office with a song in my head
that goes...

La da da...
And you know it grows
La da da...
Oh, la da da...
Oh, la da da...
 
System (off the Queen Of The Damned soundtrack)

You fell away,
What more can I say?
The feelings evolved,
I won't let it out,
I can't replace...
Your screaming face,
Feeling the sickness inside

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine…
We'll be fine…
Then your body will be mine

So many words
Can't describe my face
This feeling's evolved
So soon to break out
I can't relate
to a happy state
feeling the blood run inside

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine…
We'll be fine…
Then your body will be mine

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
Keep me down to what you think I should be!
Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry?

Keep on trying I’ll not die so easily

I will not die…

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?

I will not die…

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?

I will not die…

Why won't you die?
Your blood is mine….
We'll be fine….
Then your body will be mine (x 2)
 
Stare at the Sun- Thrice

I sit here clutching useless lists
and keys for doors that don't exist
I crack my teeth on pearls
I tear into the history
Just show me what it means to me in this world.

Cause I'm due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Til I understand or go blind.

I see the parts but not the whole
I study saints and scholars both
no perfect plan unfurls
Do I trust my heart or just my mind
Why is truth so hard to find in this world
Yeah in this world

Cause I'm due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
Stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Til I understand or go blind

I know that there's a point I've missed
A shrine or stone I haven't kissed
A scar that never graced my wrist
A mirror that hasn't met my fist
But I can't help feeling that I'm

Due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes.
