Kelly Clarkson :: Miss Independant

Miss independent
Miss insufficient
Miss keep your distance, mmmm

Miss unafraid
Miss out of my way
Miss don't let a man interfere

Whoa, miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her phone

So, by keeping her heart protected,
She'll never, ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love

What is this feeling taking over
Thinking a word could open the door
Surprise, it's time to feel what's real
What happened to miss indepent's no longer need to be defensive
Goodbye or you will love, it's true

Miss guided heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you wanna use that line, you better not start

Oh, but she miscalculated
She didn't wanna end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love

So, by changing a misconception,
She went in a new direction
And found inside, she felt a connection
She fell in love

What is this feeling taking over
Thinking a word could open the door
Surprise, it's time to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive
Goodbye or you will love, it's true (will love, it's true)

When miss independent walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to miss no longer afraid?
It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
So miss independent had more to say
I'm so glad I've finally seen

What is this feeling taking over
Thinking a word could open the door
Surprise, it's time to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive
Goodbye or you will love, it's true (will love, it's true)

Miss independent

This song fits the lives of all the people I'm chatting with, right now.

PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke - This Mess We're In

Can you hear them?
The helicopters?
I`m in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me in the eye directly
You met me
I think it`s Wednesday
The evening, the mess we`re in

The city sun sets over me
The city sun sets over me

Night and day
I dream of
Making love to you now baby
Love making on screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise over the river
The freeway, reminding of
This mess we`re in

The city sun sets over me
The city sun sets over me

What were you wanting?
I just want to say
Don`t ever change
And thank you
I don`t think we will meet again
I really must leave now
Before the sunrise
Above skyscrapers
The sin and
This mess we`re in

The city sun sets over me
The city sun sets over me.

Bad Religion - Heaven Is Falling

as I walk beneath the valley,
I shall fear no evil,
for thanks to King George and his rainbow cabinet,
today murder is legal

God I know that it's wrong,
to kill my brother for what he hasn't done,
and as the planes blacken the sky,
it sounds like heaven is falling,
it sounds like heaven is falling,
you promised me a new day a dawning
I've seen a thousand points of light,
like so many points of hatred, shame and horror

God I want to be a man,
but I don't want to die with a rifle in my hand,
and as the planes blacken....

well nothing here looks new to me,
but a score of mothers 'sons,
caught 'tween the devil and the deep blue sea


- Written in 92 but still just as relevant today

 

[harraser]

lately ive found myself worrying about being "fitter, happier" so its time for a change

Fitter Happier - Radiohead

Fitter, happier, more productive,
comfortable,
not drinking too much,
regular exercise at the gym
(3 days a week),
getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries,
at ease,
eating well
(no more microwave dinners and saturated fats),
a patient better driver,
a safer car
(baby smiling in back seat),
sleeping well
(no bad dreams),
no paranoia,
careful to all animals
(never washing spiders down the plughole),
keep in contact with old friends
(enjoy a drink now and then),
will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in the wall),
favors for favors,
fond but not in love,
charity standing orders,
on Sundays ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants),
car wash
(also on Sundays),
no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate,
nothing so childish - at a better pace,
slower and more calculated,
no chance of escape,
now self-employed,
concerned (but powerless),
an empowered and informed member of society
(pragmatism not idealism),
will not cry in public,
less chance of illness,
tires that grip in the wet
(shot of baby strapped in back seat),
a good memory,
still cries at a good film,
still kisses with saliva,
no longer empty and frantic like a cat tied to a stick,
that's driven into frozen winter shit
(the ability to laugh at weakness),
calm,
fitter,
healthier and more productive
a pig in a cage on antibiotics.

Artist : Evanescence
Song : Bring Me To Life
Album : Fallen


How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where Ive become so numb

Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

-CHORUS-
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I cant wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I cant wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing Ive become

Now that I know what Im without
You cant just leave me
Breathe into me and {make me real}
Bring me
To life

-CHORUS-
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I cant wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I cant wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing Ive become

{Bring me to life}
[Ive been living a lie..Theres nothing inside]
{Bring me to life}

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

[All of this I, I cant believe I couldnt see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me]

Ive been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

[Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul]
{Dont let me die here}{There must be something more}
Bring me to life

-CHORUS-
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I cant wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I cant wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing Ive become

Bring me to life
[Ive been living a lie.. Theres nothing inside]
Bring me to life

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D ps.i ended up just putting thw hole song in bold

 

[harraser]

the lyrics to this song are awesome and soooo fucking true. i love it. oh the futility

Greg! The Stop Sign! - TISM

Ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba,
Ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba,
Ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba,
Ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba,

The guy who slagged the football team,
Those yobs were not for him,
He turns into a real estate agent,
Who believes in discipline,

The guy who's first to use cocaine,
The wild boy breaking free,
He'll end up in a court of law,
As the prosecuting Q.C.

Remember the School Captain?
Success was a matter of time,
I can hear her now, as she screams,
"Greg! You missed the stop sign!"

Forget Snoop Doggy Dog,
Forget old Ice Tea,
The true word out on the streets,
Is produced by the T.A.C.

What's the use of striving?
Life's road in front unravels,
We get to do the driving,
Don't choose the direction we travel,

Do your homework or wag for weeks,
Grafiti the Dandenong line,
It don't matter much when you hear that scream,
"Greg! You missed the stop sign!"

Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!

Sometime in the next 10,000 years,
A comet's gonna wipe out all trace of man,
I'm banking on it coming,
Before my end of year exam,

The rich kid becomes a junkie,
The poor kid an advertiser,
What a tragic waste of potential,
Being a junkie's not so good either,

Your folks worked hard for what you got,
You are the fruit of their vine,
Who cares what you sow and what you reap?
'Cause Greg! You missed the stop sign!

Bought a car just the other day,
Man could that baby run,
But you know what they always say,
There's always a better one,
Got a tumor in my brain,
It's creeping to my lungs,
Man, I've searched around in vain,
Can't find me a better one,

Hardwired into everyone's head,
Is the person they're gonna be,
Growing up's not a matter of choice,
It's a matter of wait and see,

So kids, yeah you can do it,
You can be your best,
Girls can do anything,
You can past the test,

I'm OK, You're OK,
We're OK, We're fine,
I thought I heard a semi-trailer,
Greg! You missed the stop sign!

Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!

Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!

Lyrics that *Still* appeal to me today

A selection from lyricist/ songwriter Joni Mitchell

~ Album: For the Roses ~


COLD BLUE STEEL AND SWEET FIRE

Cold Blue Steel out of money
One eye out for the beat police
Sweet fire calling
“You can’t deny me
Now you know what you need”
Underneath the jungle gym
Hollow-grey-fire-escape-thief
Looking for Sweet Fire
Shadow of Lady Release

“Come with me
I know the way” she says
“It’s down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you want to contact somebody first
Leave someone a letter
You can come now
Or you can come later”

A wristwatch, a ring, a downstairs screamer
Edgy-black cracks of the sky
“Pin-cushion-prick-
Fix this poor bad dreamer!”
“Money” cold shadows reply
Pawnshops crisscrossed and padlocked
Corridors spit on prayers and pleas
Sparks fly up from Sweet Fire
Black soot of Lady Release

“Come with me
I know the way” she says
“It’s down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you want to contact somebody first
Leave someone a letter
You can come now
Or you can come later”

Red water in the bathroom sink
Fever and the scum brown bowl
Blue Steel still begging
But it’s indistinct
Someone’s Hi-Fi drumming Jelly Roll
Concrete concentration camp
Bashing in veins for peace
Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire
Fall into Lady Release

“Come with me
I know the way” she says
“It’s down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you want to contact somebody first
Leave someone a letter
You can come now
Or you can come later”


~Album: Ladies of the Canyon~

WOODSTOCK

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
I’m going down to Yasgur’s farm
I’m going to join a rock ‘n’ roll band
I’m going to camp out on the land
And try an’ get my soul free

We are stardust
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel just like a cog in something turning
Well maybe it’s the time of year
Or maybe it’s the time of man
I don’t know who I am
But life is for learning

We are stardust
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere the was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden


~Album: Blue~

BLUE

Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I’ve been to sea before
Crown and Anchor me
Or let me sail away

Blue, here is a song for you
Ink of pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in

Well there’s so many sinking now
You’ve got to keep thinking
You can make it through these waves
Acid, booze and ass
Needles, guns and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs

Well everybody’s saying hells the hippest way to go
Well I don’t think so
But I’m going to take a look around it though
Blue, I love you

Blue, here us a shell for you
Inside you’ll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song for me

~Album: Court and Spark~

PEOPLE’S PARTIES

All the people at this party
They’ve got a lot of style
They’ve got stamps of many colours
They’ve got passport smiles
Some are friendly
Some are cutting
Some are watching it from the wings
Some are standing in the centre
Giving to get something

Photo beauty gets attention
Then her eye paint’s running down
She’s got a rose in her teeth
And a lampshade crown
One minute she’s so happy
Then she’s crying on someone’s knee
Saying laughing and crying
You know it’s the same release

I know I told you when I met you
I was crazy
Cry for us all Beauty
Cry for Eddie in the corner
Thinking he’s no-body
And Jack behind his Joker
And stone cold Grace behind her fan
And me in my frightened silence
Thinking I don’t understand

I feel like I’m sleeping
Can you wake me
You seem to have a broader sensibility
I’m just living on nerves and feelings
With a weak and lazy mind
And coming to people’s parties
Fumbling deaf dumb and blind

I wish I had more sense of humor
Keeping the sadness at bay
Throwing the lightness on these things
Laughing it all away
Laughing it all away
Laughing it all away

DMX f/ Eminem, Obie Trice

Song: Go to Sleep

[Eminem]
I ain't gonna eat, I ain't gonna sleep
Ain't gonna breathe, 'til I see what I wanna see
And what I wanna see, is you go to sleep in the dirt
Permanently, you just bein hurt, this ain't gonna work
For me, it just wouldn't be, sufficient enough
Cause we, are just gonna be, enemies
As long as we breathe, I don't ever see, either of us
Comin to terms, where we can agree
There ain't gonna be, no reasonin, speakin wit me
You speak on my seed, then me, no speak-a ingles
So we gonna beef, and keep on beefin, unless
You're gonna agree, to meet with me in the flesh
And settle this face to face, and you're gonna see
A demon unleashed in me, that you've never seen
And you're gonna see, this gangster pee on himself
I see you D-12, and thanks, but me need no help
Me do this one all by my lonely
I don't need fifteen of my homies
When I see you, I'm seein you, me and you only
We never met, but best believe you gon' know me
When I'm this close, to see you exposed as phony
Come on bitch, show me, pick me up, throw me
Lift me up, hold me, just like you told me
You was gonna do, that's what I thought, you're pitiful
I'm rid of you, all of you, Ja, you'll get it too!

[Chorus]
Now go to sleep bitch!
Die, motherfucker, die! Ugh, time's up, bitch, close ya eyes
Go to sleep, bitch! (what?)
Why are you still alive? How many times I gotta say, close ya eyes?
And go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Die motherfucker die, bye, bye, motherfucker, bye, bye!
Go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Why are you still alive? Why, die motherfucker, ah, ah, ah...
...Go to sleep bitch!

[Obie Trice]
We got you niggaz, nervous
On purpose, to hurt your focus, you'se not MC's, you'se worthless
You'se not them G's, you'se a circus, you'se no appeal, please
You'se curtains, you use words, cool heard, slurred in two thousand third
You'se purpin, you'se no threat, who's ya servin?
When lyrically oughta bury you beneath the dirt when
You fuck with a label overseeing the Earth
Shady muthafucka, O. Trice's birth
And as I mold, I become a curse
So we can put down the verse, take it to the turf
Cock and squeeze, and he who reach the hearse is he who
Depicts fiction in his verse
And as I breathe, and you be deceased
The world believe you deceived just to speak
You'se not the streets, you'se the desk
Use not your chest nigga, use a vest
Before two's choose ya rest, you chose death
Six feet deep, nigga, that's the debt

[Chorus]

[DMX]
Hey dog, I'ma walk like a beast, talk like the streets
I'ma stay blazin New York wit the heat
Stalk on the beat, walk wit my feet
Understand my pain, the rain ain't sleet
Peep how I'm moving, peep where I'm going
Shit don't seep, then sleep not knowin
But I'ma keep growing, getting larger than life
Easy-going with the same one that started the fight
He be knowing how dog get, when dog gon bite
Tried to show him the dog shit, it's dog for life
Grand champ, and my Blood Line is tight
Cuz it's all good, it's all right
Niggas tried to holla, but couldn't holla back
Now they gots to swallow, everything in the sac
Blood Line, and, we can go track for track
Damn dog, why'd you have to do them niggas like that?

[Chorus]

[Eminem]
All you motherfuckers, take that!
Here, take this too, bitch! Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Waaaaaahoo
We're killing all you motherfuckers dead, all of you
Fake ass gangsters! No more press! No more press!
Rot, motherfuckers, rot! Decay, in the dirt, bitch, in the motherfucking dirt!
Die nameless, bitch, die nameless! No more fame!
Ahhhhhhhhhh! Hahahaha
Yo X, come on man, Obie, let's go, haha

Title: Im Only Happy When It Rains...

By: Garbage

I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me

I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down...pour
You can keep me company
As long as you don't care

I'm only happy when it rains
You want to hear about my new obsession
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains....pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me...pour some misery down on me...pour some misery down on me...pour some misery down on me,

This is exactly like I often feel:

JX - There's nothing i won't do

i heard this on the radio last night. i don't normally listen to the radio, so to hear some classic 90's pop/electronica cheese brought all the memories flooding back. it's also quite pertinent to my life right now in a weird and wonderful way. oh, to be young and in love again .


JX - There's Nothing I Won't Do

There's nothing I won't do
Anything you want me to
I can't keep my hands off you
There's nothing I won't do

And so I don't know why
And no matter how hard I try
I can't keep my hands off you
There's nothing I won't do

Oh baby I think of you
My heart is on the line
Oh baby I get with you
My mind feels so fine

Can't keep my hands off you
Can't keep my hands off you
Can't keep my hands off you
There's nothing I won't do
...

Something Corporate - Bad Days

Something Corporate - Bad Days
(for Jay)

It's been a bad day,
another bad day and all I want to do is look at you and know I'm okay.
From where I'm sitting these shoes ain't fitting and I'm walking backwards,
looking down, don't see the sky I see the ground.

Above
below you look and so you wonder,
where the time has gone of looking up, tomorrows on its way.
Above
below you look and so you say,
when I wake up in the morning is it 'gonna be another ugly day?

She sits in church its 2 pm and look whose back from work again.
I guess they thought your better off, without this life, without a job.
From where I'm sitting these shoes ain't fitting and I'm going nowhere,
killing time, just trying to feed my bleeding mind.

It's been a bad day,
another bad day and I cross my heart and hope to die
these dreams of yours are 'gonna fly.

Brian's Song
written by Louise Post
Found on: Unreleased demo

I don't know who I am or who I love
I don't know which way is down or which is up
But I'm a big girl daddy
Yeah, I'm all grown up

I don't know where you are or where you sleep
I don't wanna hear your tender voice or hear you breathe
'Cause you're buried in my heart, hon
That's enough

I don't wanna bring you down, boy
I'll hurt you like before
I don't wanna miss you anymore
'Cause I'm happy to be without you
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
Happy to be without you

I don't know how I sleep or why I cry
We were dancing in a corner bar
You held me tight
And I kissed your bare arm
There was love in your eyes

I don't know whatever night when it was snowing
I remember surfing on the ice
A slip was showing
Cigarettes, Jim Beam, anything to make you smile

I don't wanna make it bad, boy
We've both been there before
I don't wanna miss you anymore
'Cause I'm happy to be without you
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
Happy to be without you, yeah

I don't wanna make it worse by hanging on
I remember how you looked so hurt
And I was wrong
So I'll say I'm sorry in a song

I'm the one who cut you off, I gotta pay
We were dying in each others' arms
How could I stay
But without you baby, where do I belong?

I don't wanna bring you down, boy
I hurt you like before
I don't wanna miss you anymore
'Cause I'm happy to be without you
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
Happy to be without you
Of course, of course, of course

A Piece of You
Written by Louise Post
Found on: never released, played live

I'm just trying to live this life of mine
The more I look the more I'm blind
And all I ask for is piece of mind
But all I want is a piece of you

Well, I lost my way today back home from work
Snow fell like dust, I felt like dirt
It happens every time I start to search
For that long lost piece of you

A piece of you
A piece of you
A piece of. . .

It seems the last time I was sure of anything
I sold my heart, I wore your ring
But now the queen has lost her king
And all I want is a piece of you

A piece of you
A piece of you
A piece of. . .





added the below song today cause i felt the need to...people say crying is good for the heart but i am thinking it isnt...im so lonely and lone right now. i cant help but cry

[Allure]
All alone on a Sunday morning
Outside I see the rain is falling
Inside I'm slowly dying
But the rain will hide my crying, crying, crying
And you
Don't you know my tears will burn the pillow
Set this place on fire
'Cause I'm tired of your lie
All I needed was a simple "Hello"
But the traffic was so noisy that you could not hear me cry
(I) I gave you my love in vain
My body never knew such pleasure,
My heart never knew such pain
(And you) You leave me so confused
Now I'm all cried out, over you.
[112]
Cryin' over you, yeah
Never wanted to see things your way,
Had to go astray
For why was I such a fool (Why was I such a fool)
Now I see that the grass is greener
Is it too late for me to find my way home,
How could I be so wrong?
[Allure]
Leaving me all alone
Don't you know my tears will cause an inferno
Romance of these flames,
Why should I take the blame?
You were the one who left me neglected (So sorry baby)
Apology not accepted
Add me to the broken hearts you've collected
(I) I gave you all of me (Gave you all of me)
How was I to know,
You would weaken so easily
(I) I don't know what to do (I don't know what to do)
Now I'm all cried out (All cried out)
Over you
(I) I gave you my love in vain
My body never knew such pleasure,
My heart never knew such pain
And you
[112]
You left me so confused
[Allure]
Now I'm all cried out
Now I'm all cried out
Over you

Jewel ~ Painters

Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by
They remind her of her lover, how he left her, and of times long ago.
When she used to color carelessly painted his portrait
A thousand times-or maybe just his smile-
And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go
'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.

Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wall
He put water-colored roses in her hair
He said, "Love, I love you, I want to give you mountains, the sunshine,
the sunset too
I want to give you everything as beautiful as you are to me
'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.

So they sat down and made a drawing of their love, an art to live by
They painted every, passion every home, created every beautiful child
in the winter they were weavers of warmth,
in summer they were carpenters of love
They thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow
'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.

Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil
And in her heart she knew something was wrong
She went running
through the orchard screaming,
'No God, don't take him from me!,'

But by the time she got there, she feared he already had gone
She got to where he lay, water-colored roses in his hands for her
She threw them down screaming, 'Damn you man, don't leave me
with nothing left behind but these cold paintings, these cold portraits
to remind me!

He said, 'Love I leave, but only a little, try to understand
I put my soul in this life we created with these four hands
Love, I leave, but only a little this world holds me still
My body may die now, but these paintings are real.'
So many seasons came and many seasons went
and many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers,
talking to the trees and singing to his children

And when the wind blew, she knew he was listening,
and how he seamed to laugh along, and how he seemed to hold her
when she was crying
'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.

Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by, they remind her of her lover
how he left her and of times long ago, when she used to color carelessly,
Painted his portrait a thousand times, or maybe just his smile,
and she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go
Yes, she and her canvas still follow
Because they are painters and they are painting themselves
A lovely world

Let Him Fly
-Dixie Chicks


Ain’t no talkin’ to this man
Ain’t no pretty other side
Ain’t no way to understand the stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
I’m gonna let him fly - mmm

Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved good-bye
You know the light has left his face
But you can’t recall just where or why
So there was reallly nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
I said I’m gonna let him fly
Oh yea

There’s no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
Choices we are given
It’s no choice at all
The proof is in the fire
You touch before it moves away - yeah
But you must always know
How long to stay and when to go

And there ain’t no talkin’ to this man
He’s been tryin’ to tell me so
It took a while to understand
The beauty of just letting go
’cause it would take an acrobat n’
I already tried all that

physically, you ache like a cavity...

The Continuous Life
311

when things are outta whack
and they might collapse
and at the end of the day
you still can't relax
and physically you ache
like a cavity feelin' the blind
on your mind and the rest
of your body
listen to your heartbeat
flow and imagine
become jackson pollack
air brush chinese dragons
on a sky blue conversation
van or electra
buick of the mind full of
luminous matter
and slowly all the pressure
recedes and you stop to decay
naturally think clearly
ultimately through your grace
will give way to traffic jams
submachine guns in hand
city red-necks who think
like the omega man
feelin' the extremes
of the times we're livin'
stockpile spaghetti-o's
and cheerios plannin'
to survive that fall-out shit

its not ambiguous
it be continous
its all about us
its for real man
the continuous life there is no end
movin' through life
movin' through death

my radio emits a signal form
a strange noise the kind of which
i've never heard before
i scan the dial for more stations
but all i get is an eerie feelin'
i'm not dreamin' this is the real dealin'
there's nothin like this trance
i'm caught in a daze
cuz i'm finally out of my body
the blue lights are ablaze
yeah i'm really amazed
and feelin' so light that's right
lift off and i'm into the sky
as if a hologram were created
to shift my conciousness
changed again and i'm flung
in the rift
i wanna be free i wanna do right
i move through the portal
to be purified

Cass and Slide - Perception (Vocal Mix)

You can see forever
Look inside of your mind
Find a sense another wonder
Just realease the fears you left behind

Feel your way through the darkness
Guide your soul into the light
Swim into the open water
Drift on the tides that you may find

Find your soul in the sunrise
Look around you can see it in their eyes
Be as one together
Rise up as the emptyness subsides

You can see forever
Rise up together
Search and you will find the answer
If you look deep inside of your mind

This Used to Be My Playground



This used to be my playground [used to be]
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say

Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask



(chorus)
Live and learn
Well the years they flew
And we never knew
We were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire
Is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can't say goodbye to yesterday [can't say goodbye]

(chorus)

No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday [the dream]
Those are words I'll never say [I'll never say]

This used to be my playground [used to be]
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy



This used to be our playground [used to be]
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me


This used to be our playground [used to be]
This used to be our great escape
This used to be the place we ran to
This used to be our secret hiding place

This used to be our playground [used to be]
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
The best things in life are always free
Wishing you were here with me

the notwist - one with the freaks

You'll no longer be kissed and kind,
as you long for intuition,
as you have to learn the lesson twice.
You'll no longer be kissed and kind, as you long for intuition,
as you have to say the password twice.
Have you ever been all messed up,
have you ever?
You're the pincard,
you're the lifeguard,
you're the information guy,
but things look much bigger on the knees,
on your knees.
Miss the signal,
miss the signpost,
lose the access to it all,
and all a sudden,
you are one with the freaks.
