Lyrics That Appeal To You Today!

N. Diamond - This Time

( Often I feel a regret in my life for the way I have treated the ones I love, the ones that are close to me, and this song often brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. It reminds me how I wish I could have changed a lot of things and if I had the time again, how I would change them )



If there was time enough for me
To do it all again
I promise you that I would find
A way to make it right this time.

This time I'd love you even more.
I never thought I could.
But now I know that I would find
A way to make it right this time.

Over again,
I close my eyes and I keep reliving it
Over again.
It's over but then
I got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no.
And you'll be mine this time for sure.
Only got to show I care the way I do.
And I'd be there this time for you.

If there was time enough to say
The things I feel inside
I promise you I'd find a way,
A way to make it right this time.

Over again,
I close my eyes and I keep reliving it
Over again.
It's over but then
I got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no.

And I'll be there this time for sure
'Cause I'm not the same man that I was before,
And I'm nothing at all if I'm not yours.
I only got to show I care the way I do,
And I'll be there this time for you.
Yes, I'll be there this time for you.

heatmiser - blue highway

wide awake at 4 in the morning
killing time on the blue highway
drag in the day like a body
burried the night under where i'd layed
on all the sides, the frost bites, a shadow creeping up on me

oh yeah, it's like the club in my hand
it's my favourite brand
and you've touched everyone
oh yeah, it's like the back of your hand on the tip of my tongue
and it's starting to get fun

kids say i didn't see it coming
busy just plucking your burrs
i take long walks cos they're numbing
only wanna speak in code
on all sides, the frost bites, a shadow creeping up on me

oh yeah it's like the club in my hand
it's your favourite brand
and you've touched everyone
oh yeah it's like the back of your hand on the tip of my tongue
and it's starting to get fun

cut me up like a jigsaw, whole reflection cracked apart
like the lines on my hand or the map of a broken heart

Rotating Head

Rotating head keeps on the right side, coiled up and tense
Remains on the lookout, expects to be shot or given the bullet
Rotating head tries to look on the bright side of things

Rotating head, friends in high places
No need to guess what he's got in that briefcase
A mind like a Gin-Trap
One swollen ankle
The Rotating head tries to stay on the right side of things
On the right side of things.

Living on tip-toe, waiting for the next step.
The wages of death, what a life for the swivelhead.
Understand, underhand, underarm protection
Each new passer-by a new wave of suspicion
In less than an hour the plane will be leaving
The lights and the cameras then sleep on a prayer and a wing...Ro..ta..ting

Living on tip-toe, waiting for the next step.
The wages of death, what a life for the swivelhead
Rotating head look on the bright side, coiled up and tense
Remain on the lookout

A mind like a Gin-trap
One swollen ankle
The rotating head tries to stay on the right side things
On the right side of things.

Dogs - Pink Floyd

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer.

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you've sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down alone
Dragged down by the stone.

I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake of this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one had a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a seat in the stand
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone.
 
Cool track haste!!!

Sugar and Stress

This world is upside down
The rights and wrongs couldn’t get much wronger
Mistakes found in the past turn into rules protecting power
It’s falling down so you should not depend on it

This world is upside down, but look, I can’t hang on for much longer

Sugar and Stress
Do everything at least twice
Catch your fingers in your private vices
Sugar and stress with a heart like ice
Hope heaven comes in a number of sizes

These thoughts are so unfair
If something’s there it’s worth taking
We know where our hearts are- right behind our wallets
Yes and that’s where they’re staying

Grow up together but we grow apart always
Climbing up is our downfall
A change of blood or a change of heart?
Another chance of address will not do good

Sugar and Stress
Do everything at least twice
Catch your fingers in your private vices
Sugar and stress with a heart like ice
Hope heaven comes in a number of sizes

This world is upside down,
This world is upside down
But look, I can’t hang on for much longer



Ricky Lee Jones Pirates

traces of the western slopes

We go down around
the far side of the tracks
lolitas playing dominos and poker
behind their daddy’s shacks
Vacant-eyed, glue-face boys
on a pearl splashing glass
If they give us any flack
if they come on our ass,
well just give”em the go-by
the Cadillac pass

take me now
from the blue and pale room I’d follow
through the faces and the traces of treasure
I keep hearing inside me
madmen throw their voices
from pretty boys
and from the best ones
you pick up connections
as they hand you directions
to the Western Slope

I lied to my angel so I could take you downtown
I’d lie to anybody
There was nobody around
And I know what people say about me
But I lied to my angel
And now he can’t find me

I’m sorry
I saw him….
I saw him….
laughing…
I could hear them…
Laughing…
alive….
I could hear them -

E.A. Poe
And Johnny Johnson
If you dial in
They’re calling from the Western Slopes
Who’s the thin thread of light
that keeps you strangled in the scenery
that follows my voice-
can you see me?
then follow my voice

who raised this banner?
that no-one hears – The Jack
beneath the Axis
digging under the current
someone’s crying to get back…
but who’s qualified to retrieve
the soul’s enduring song?
From the grottos of her eyes
and the clashing of the stars-

E.A. Poe
and Johnny Johnson
if you dial in
they’re calling from the Western Slope
who’s the thin thread of light
that keeps you stranded in the scenery
that follows my voice-
can you see me?
then follow my voice

See me….?


the returns

…but after all there are such things
and these are the things
who’ll turn memories back into dreams again
Oh, it’s all flying and waving
for you to keep trying
you’re so close.
So close.
All the returns
one of these days
one of these days
one of these days
one of these days

In loving memory of my ol’ buddy Greg; 1959-1982
 
For Fluffy :)

Etta James ~ At Last

This song's on the "Mad About You" soundtrack and has always struck a chord with me. And even though it is mushy - I still like it. It's not about being desperate, it's about finally finding the right person, to share one's life and love with.

At last
my love has come along
my lonely days over
and life is like a song


Ooh At last
the skies above are blue
well my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you

I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known

well

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last

I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I
could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known

well

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last

ooo yea
you are mine
you are mine
at last
at last
at last
at last
 
The Dark Kiss Of My Angel

The Dark Kiss Of My Angel - Macbeth

Cry with me in this gloomy silence
and take me in your arms.
Let your fingers caress
my marbled skin
and your face follow
my last breath.
The shadow of sin
has obscured my soul,
deep icy waters touch
my body like needles.
My eyes will see
the darkness of damnation
where memories of me
will sink and be forget.
The warmth of mortals
does not dwell here,
in this body frozen
by the kiss of death.
Immaculate blood-stained lilies
lie on the grave of innocence.
And now you can
feel my soul tremble
and a long sweet shiver
run down my skin.
You'll hold my hands in yours
and I'll follow you
in this mysterious voyage.
Lonelines, beyond the gates
of the unknown,
penetrates my bloodied depths.
Purity has died with me
and your tears will wash
the sinful blood away,
while you'll be listening to
the eternal cry
of the brambles around
my desolate tombstone.
 
The Cure - Fascination Street

Oh it's opening time down on fascination street
So let's cut the conversation and get out for a
Bit because I feel it all fading and paling and I'm
Begging to drag you down with me to kick the
Last nail in yeah I like you in that like I like you
To scream but if you open your mouth then i
Cant be responsible for quite what goes in or
To care what comes out so just pull on your hair
Just pull on your pout and let's move to the beat
Like we know that it's over if you slip going
Under slip over my shoulder so just pull on your
Face just pull on your feet and let's hit opening
Time down on fascination street

So pull on your hair pull on your pout cut the
Conversation just open your mouth pull on your
Face pull on your feet and let's hit opening time
Down on fascination street

:P
 
I love Bon Jovi!

BON JOVI - YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Chorus:
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Chorus

---------------------------------------
BON JOVI - ITS MY LIFE

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
A silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Chorus:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

--------------------------------------------
BON JOVI -LIVING ON A PRAYER

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby it's okay, someday

We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

Chorus

We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

Chorus
 
wish today would never end by Nathan Tasker

Love songs
All that I can hear are love songs
But I don’t feel the love they sing about
No there’s another side

To a love song
It’s the pain you feel when your love is gone
Your heart tries to define
Feeling embodied in a tear

I wish today would never end
Cause I don’t want to lose you now
And memories cannot remember every word you said
Every beat of my heart
Every tear I’ve cried
That’s why
I wish today would never end

Loneliness
All I know I’ll feel is loneliness
When you can’t share a joke that’s on your mind
Or strong emotions in your heart

But happiness
It’s like I’ll never know what that word means
I’d trade the happiness that one day I might feel
For all the pain of knowing you cause our love is real

I wish today would never end
Cause I don’t want to lose you now
And memories cannot remember every word you said
Every beat of my heart
Every tear I’ve cried
That’s why
I wish today would never end

But the thing that hurts the most
Is the Colorado mountains
Whispering your name
In the summer breeze
And when I realize our future
Has now become our past
The pain and the emotion
It breaks my heart to tears

Breaks my heart to tears

I wish today would never end
Cause I don’t want to lose you now
And memories cannot remember every word you said
Every beat of my heart
Every tear I’ve cried

oh why
must today would never end
I never wanted to lose you at all
Why did you have to leave?
I started to believe
This was true love
This was all I ever needed
You were all I ever needed
You were all I’ll ever need
Oh will today ever end?
Will I ever begin to love again?
Can I ever love another one like I loved you?

Wish today would never end
 
The Mess We're In - PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke:
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
And ooooh...

PJ Harvey:
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me

Thom Yorke:
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
And ooooh...

PJ Harvey:
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me

PJ Harvey:
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me

PJ harvey talking/Thom Yorke singing:
What were you wanting / What was he wanted
I just wanna say
Don't ever change now baby
I'd thank you
I don't think we will meet again
And you must leave now
Before the sun rises
Above the skycrapers
And the city landscape comes into view
Swell on my skin
Oh
This mess we're in
Ooooh...

PJ Harvey:
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
 
The Used - Taste Of Ink

Is it worth it can you even hear me
Standing with your spotlight on me
Not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired and I felt it for awhile now
In this sea of lonely
The taste of ink is getting old
It's four o' clock in the fucking morning
Each day gets more and more like the last day
Still I can see it coming
While I'm standing in the river drowning
This could be my chance to break out
This could be my chance to say goodbye
At last it's finally over
Couldn't take this town much longer
Being half dead wasn't what I planned to be
Now I'm ready to be free

So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this

And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there to so you can see
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
And we'll drink and dance the night away
Drink and dance the night away

So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this

As long as you're alive
Here I am
I promise I will take you there

Don't Think You're The First :: The Coral

Don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To follow your heart
Or gaze at the stars
To stare at the night
To the clear daylight
Don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To feel sorrow or shame
As you walk in the rain
Do I love you?
Yes I love you or I wouldn't tell you

So don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To be caught in the act
Numbered and wrecked
Put in your place
Made to feel like a fake

Don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To be untouched by the time
Think you're one of the kind
Do I love you?
Yes I love you or i wouldn't tell you

So don't think you're the first

Don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To dance with the light
From the meak to the might
As the birds in the trees
Sing their sweet melodies

Don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To hear a thousand violins
As the trial begins
Do I love you?
Yes I love you or I wouldn't tell you

So don't think you're the last
To be tied to the mast
While you watch from afar
As your world falls apart
You hang on for help
But the rest help themselves

Don't think you're the last
To be tied to the past
While you future's controled
While the present untold
Do I love you?
Yes I love you or I wouldn't tell you

So don't think you're the first
 
Ricky Lee Jones cont..Self titled album - 1979

Coolsville

I and Bragger and Junior Lee
That's the way I always thought it would be
In the Winston Lips of September
How we met
Decked out like aces
We'd beat anybody's bet
Cuz we were Coolsville
Cuz we were Coolsville

You stick it here
You stick it there
But it never fits
And the hungry night wants more
And you're chipping your little kiss

I jumped all his jokers
But he trumped all of my tricks
But I swear to God
I thought this one was smart enough
To stick it into Coolsville
And stick it into Coolsville
Oh Daddy stick it into Coolsville

And now it's J & B and me
That sounds close but it ain't the same
But that's okay
Hot city don't hurt that much
When everything feels the same
The real thing come, and the real the go
Well the Real Thing is Back in Town
Ask me if you want to know
the way to Coolsville

I hear you want to go back to Coolsville?
Then come on
I'll take you back to Coolsville


To all those like Greg, who never made it out of Coolsville alive

NIRVANA -WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT?

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
 
This a song by a friend of mine from highschool...

Decide Not to Decide by Janine Stoll

From the tip of my tongue to the tip of my toe
With a single glance from you anything will go
And we own this bar tonight and we own this whole city
When you own the world it's hard to think that it's pretty
But war is far off tonight you're my comrade unarmed
If you see your reflection I'm sure that I am charmed
Don't write me off my friend cause you'll pay twice in the end
And I'm not going home alone tonight

Never was an advocate of rational thinking
I did a lot of stare and think and stare and think and stare and think
I'll buy another round of whatever you are drinking
And decide not to decide anything at all

Mary is five and she plays with G.I. Joe
Mommy won't find out if she keeps her voice down low
All the other girls have a pink carriage in tow
And little Mary smiles cause she's the only one who knows
And if Billy played with dolls they'd kick sand in his eyes
And no one would help him, because a big boy is not supposed to cry
What if I was Mary and you were little Bill
Could we spend the night together hold the interrogator's drill

Never was an advocate of loving and leaving
I guess I'm not strong enough to love and leave and love and leave
I couldn't live without his voice or the sound of his breathing
So I learned not to love anyone at all

So maybe I'm tired and nothing tempts me anymore
Nothing makes me laugh the way I laughed long before
Or maybe I grew out of dressing in and dressing up
Or maybe I grew too much forgot to tell myself to stop
But I never joined the army so I guess I haven't lost
But somewhere in my childhood my will to fight got tossed
And you were beaten out of your bangles and your braids
I guess there's more to learning life then competing for good grades

Never was an advocate of learning and losing
My memory is weak so I must learn and lose and learn and lose
This bar is getting crowded maybe we should go cruising
And learn not to lose any time at all

Take it away
Take it away
The pain
And give me ten fold
This love


listen to this song here: http://www.janinestoll.com/cgi-bin/m4/listen

i strongly reccomend listening to it... nice acoustic guitar piece, and i just love her voice...

modest mouse - edit the sad parts

Sometimes all I really want to feel is love
Sometimes I'm angry that I feel so angry
Sometimes my feelings get in the way
Of what I really feel I needed to say
If you stand in a circle
Then you'll all have a back to bite
Back logged voices on the 7 wonders
We're all so funny but he's lost his joke now
A communication from the one lined joke
A stand up comic and a rock musician
Making so much noise you don't know when to listen
Why are you judging people so damn hard
You're taking your point of views a bit too far
I made my shoes shine with my coal
But my polish didn't shine the hole
If you stand in a circle
Then you'll all have a back to bite
(Back?) long books on the 7 wonders
We're all so funny but he's lost his joke now
Our communications come from one lined joke
From stand up comics and a rock musicians
Making so much noise you don't know when to listen
Think it over
There's the air of the height of the highrollers
Think it over
You aint got nothing till ya know her

The Cure - Friday I'm in Love

(This song reminds me a little of my own life from time to time. It seems as though it would describe each day perfectly)

--------------------------------------------------

I don't care if monday's blue
tuesday's grey and wednesday too
thursday I don't care about you
it's friday I'm in love

monday you can fall apart
tuesday wednesday break my heart
thursday doesn't even start
it's friday I'm in love

saturday wait
and sunday always comes too late
but friday never hesitate...

I don't care if monday's black
tuesday wednesday heart attack
thursday never looking back
it's friday I'm in love

monday you can hold your head
tuesday wednesday stay in bed
or thursday watch the walls instead
it's friday I'm in love

saturday wait
and sunday always comes too late
but friday never hesitate...

dressed up to the eyes
it's a wonderful surprise
to see your shoes and your spirits rise
throwing out your frown
and just smiling at the sound
and as sleek as a shriek
spinning round and round
always take a big bite
it's such a gorgeous sight
to see you in the middle of the night
you can never get enough
enough of this stuff
it's friday
I'm in love
 
radiohead - myxomatosis

The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his new found friends
He said I been where I liked
I slept with who I like
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice
But now

I don't know
why I feel so tongue-tied
Don't know why I feel
So skinned alive

I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down in neat
They were cheering and waving
Cheering and waving
Twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
But it got edited fucked up
Strangled, beaten up
Used as a photo in time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in Devon

I don’t know
Why I feel so tongue-tied
I don’t know
Why I feel so skinned alive.

My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and I salivate like with myxomatosis
You should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
Yeah no one likes a smart ass but we all like stars
(for a reason) That wasn't my intention (for a reason) I did for a reason (reason)
It must have got mixed up
Strangled beaten up
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis

I don’t know
Why I feel so tongue-tied
