Lyrics That Appeal To You Today!

Artist: Sarah McLachlan
Title: Push


every time i look at you, the world just melts away
all my troubles all my fears dissolve in your affections
you've seen me at my weakest yet you take me as I am
and when i fall you offer me a softer place to land

chorus
you stay the course
you hold the line
you keep it all together
you're the one true thing i know i can believe in
you're all the things that i desire
you save me
you complete me
you're the one true thing i know i can believe in

i get mad so easy, but you give me space to breathe
no matter what i say or do cause you're too good to fight about it
even when i have to push just to see how far you'll go
you won't stoop down to battle me, you never turn to go

chorus
you stay the course
you hold the line
you keep it all together
you're the one true thing i know i can believe in
you're all the things that i desire
you save me
you complete me
you're the one true thing i know i can believe in

Love is just the antidote
nothing else can cure me
there are times I cant decide
when i can't tell up from down
you make me feel less crazy, otherwise i'd drown
but you pick me up and brush me off and tell me i'm okay
and sometimes that's just what we need to get us through the day

you stay the course
you hold the line
you keep it all together
you're the one true thing i know i can believe in
you're all the things that i desire
you save me
you complete me
you're the one true thing i know i can believe in
you stay the course
you hold the line
you keep it all together
you're the one true thing i know i can believe in
you're all the things that i desire
you save me
you complete me
you're the one true thing i know i can believe in
 
An age old favourite, and it reminds me of the number 10... well, that and 'killing in the name of' by RATM :-)

Bolded for the significant bits.

'Basket Case' - Green Day

Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid
I’m just stoned

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it’s lack of sex that’s bringing me down
I went to a whore
She said my life’s a bore
And quit my whining cause it’s bringing her down

Grasping to control
So you better hold on

...

'Stronger' - Sugababes

I'll make it through the rainy days
I'll be the one who stands here longer than the rest
When my landscape changes, rearranges
I'll be stronger than i've ever been
No more stillness, more sunlight,
Everything's gonna be alright

I know that there's gonna be a change
Better find your way out of your fear
If you wanna come with me
Then that's the way it's gotta be
I'm all alone and finally
I'm getting stronger
You'll come to see
Just what I can be
I'm getting stronger

Sometimes I feel so down and out
Like emotion that's been captured in a maze
I had my ups and downs
Trials and tribulations,
I overcome it day by day,
Feeling good and almost powerful
A new me, that's what i'm looking for

I didn't know what I had to do
I just knew I was alone
People around me
But they didn't care
So I searched into my soul
I'm not the type of girl that will let them see her cry
It's not my style, I get by
See i'm gonna do this for me
 
I wanna do great things,
I don’t wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna know everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don’t wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something I do to myself.

All is fair in love and war,
Or so they say and so the saying goes,
But I’ve seen more broken hearts,
Than you can count the bullets in a war,
Oh what do I know,
There’s gotta be so much I don’t know.

I wanna do great things,
I don’t wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna try everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don’t wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something I do to myself,
Something I do to myself.

What is life apart from memories or
Dreams and friendships we have known
And it smells childhood tales
Contemplating clothes that you have worn
Oh what do I know
There’s gotta be so much I don’t know

I wanna do great things,
I don’t wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
Is it something I do to myself,
Something I do to myself.

Never wanted many things,
Except the chance to learn,
From my mistakes
Funny how you never learn,
But know them when they,
Come around again,
Oh what do I know,
There’s gotta be so much I don’t know.

I wanna do great things,
I don’t wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna try everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don’t wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something I do to myself,
Something I do to myself,
Something you do to yourself
 
Mind Games by John Lennon

We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers, planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the mantra, peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail

Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower, you got to let it, you got to let it grow

So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future, outta the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time

Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender, you got to let it, you got to let it go

So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love

Love...
(I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before)
 
This old one, for most of the last 2/3 weeks. *melts into puddle of self disbelief*


When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather.
In a beautiful world.
I wish I was special.
You're so fucking special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts.
I wanna have control.
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul.
I want you to notice when I'm not around.
You're so fucking special.
I wish I was special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

She's running out again.
She's running out, she's run, run, run, run...run...

Whatever makes you happy.
Whatever you want.
You're so fucking special.
I wish I was special.
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't belong here.

(Radiohead-Creep)

There’s blood in the streets, it’s up to my ankles
She came
There’s blood on the streets, it’s up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it’s following me
Think about the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
She came

Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
She came
Blood in the streets it’s up to my thigh
She came
Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city
She came

The women are crying red rivers of weepin’
She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered on dawn’s highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child’s fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of new haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of phantastic L.A.
Blood streams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
There’s blood in the streets, it’s up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it’s up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of chicago
Blood on the rise, it’s following me

Bright Eyes

Lover I Don't Have To Love by Bright Eyes

I picked you out
Of a crowd and talked to you
Said I liked your shoes
You said thanks can I follow you?
So it's up the stairs
And out of view
No prying eyes
I poured some wine
I asked your name you asked the time
Now it's two o'clock,
the club is closed we're up the block
Your hands on me
Pressing hard against your jeans
Your tongue in my mouth
Trying to keep the words from coming out
You didn't care to know
Who else may have been you before
I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
I thought he said to meet me here but I'm not sure
I got the money if you got the time
You said it feels good I said I'll give it a try
Then my mind went dark
We both forgot where your car was parked
Let's just take the train
I'll meet up with the band in the morning
Bad actors with bad habits
Some sad singers
They just play tragic
And the phone's ringing
And the van's leaving
Let's just keep touching
Let's just keep keep singing
I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
Where's the kid with the chemicals
I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full
I need some meaning I can memorize
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind
But you but you
You write such pretty words
But life's no story book
Love is an excuse to get hurt
And to hurt
"Do you like to hurt?"
"I do! I do!"
"Then hurt me."
 
Some new-year cheesiness...

No point in talking, what you should have been
And regretting the things that went on
Life's full of mistakes, destinys and fate
Remove the clouds, look at the bigger picture
And all that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try

~ Delta Goodrem "Born To Try"


To say I'm romantic would be quite semantically true
But make-believe passion has fallen from fashion's milieu
It's understandable why we're a little confused
It's asking for trouble just watching the six o'clock news
But for a moment, all things aside, look to yourself somewhere inside

Look to your your dreams
Don't they still seem worthwhile?
Don't they still seem in style?
Aren't you glad they're still there?

Look to your dreams
There's a need for them now
When the world has us down
Aren't you glad they're around?

Once conceived, once believed fantasy's reality's childhood
And like a seed, visions need constant care like a child would...

~ The Carpenters "Look To Your Dreams"


To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are to weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow the star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right, without question or pause
To be willing to pass into hell for a heavenly cause
And I know, if I'll only be true to the glorious quest

That my heart lies peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

~ Carter USM "The Impossible Dream"
 
"There is a house in New Orleans. They call it the House of the Rising Sun, and it's been the bane of many a poor girl, and me, O God, I'm am one.

"If I had only listened to what my mother said, I'd be at home today. But being so young an foolish, my Lord, let a gambling lead me astray. Now my mother is a tailor; she sews those new blue jeans, and my sweetheart is a drunkard, Lord, drinks down in New Orleans.

"Now the only thing a drunken man needs is a suitcase in the trunk, and the only time he's satisfied, Lord, is when he's on drugs.

"Somebody go get my baby sister. Tell her never to do what I have done, but shun that house in New Orleans. They call it the Rising Sun.

"Well, I'm going back to New Orleans, my race is almost won. Yeah, I'm going back to spend my life beneath the Rising Sun."--Nina Simone, _Anthology: The Colpix Years_

* * *

"When I was a young girl, I used to seek pleasure. When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale. Right out of the ale house and into the jail house. Right out of the bar room and down to my grave.

"Come Mama. Come Papa. Sit you beside me. Come Mama. Come Papa. Pity my case. My poor heart is aching. My heart it is breaking. My body salvating, and I'm bound to die.

"Go send for the preacher to come and pray for me. Go send for the doctor to heal up my wounds. My poor head is aching. My heart it is breaking. My body salvating, and Hell is my home.

"I want three young ladies to bear up my coffin. I want three young ladies to take me along. I want them to carry a bunch of white roses to put on my body as I pass along. One morning, one morning in May. One morning, one morning in May I spied this young lady, all clad in white linen, all clad in white linen, cold as a grave.

"When I was a young girl, I used to seek pleasure. When I was a young girl I used to drink ale, right out of the bar room, right out of the ale house, and into the jail house. Right out of the bar room and down to my grave."--ibid.
 
Neil Young - Too Far Gone

When I woke up you were gone
And the sun was on the lawn
Empty pillow with perfume on
I smelled it.

Well, we met in my favorite bar
Took a ride in my old car
But I still don't know how
We made it home.

Was I too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
For you.

*alternate lyric he changes it sometimes live

*Roll the window down and turn the radio on

We had drugs and we had booze
But we still had something to lose
And by dawn I wanted
To marry you.

With our attitudes by day
And our secret dreams by night
Can we really live our lives
That way.

Am I too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
For you.

Was I too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
For you.

Artist: Smashing Pumpkins
Song: Soma

Nothing left to say
And all I've left to do
Is run away
From you
And she led me on, down
With secrets I can't keep
Close your eyes and sleep
Don't wait up for me
Hush now don't you speak
To me
Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, your heart So now I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray my tears
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools
One last kiss from me...yeah
One last kiss good night
Didn't want to lose you once again
Didn't want to be your friend
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
And crawled back to you
I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray myself
To anyone, lost, anyone but you
So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me, yeah
Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
When god sleeps in bliss
And I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray myself
To anyone
 
The Pixies

Blown Away by The Pixies

now the sun is burning
in deepest space
that's the way things are
through a storm called you
it fell each day
i didn't get so far
my words get blown away

my lips are moving
if you touch my face
did you hear me scream?
while we were sleeping
i tried to say
even in my dreams
my words get blown away

now the sun is burning
in deepest space
i didn't get so far
 
Morrissey...."Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together"

Angel,angel
Don't take your life,tonight.
I know they take
And that they take in turn
And they give you nothing real
For yourself in return
And when they've used you, and they've broken you
And wasted all your money
And cast your shell aside.
And when they've bought you, and they've sold you
And they've billed you for the pleasure
And they've made your parents cry.
I will be here
BELIEVE ME
I will be here.

Angel,
Don't take your life
Some people have got no pride
They do not understand the urgency of life.
But I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life.
 
Found an old mix tape, had to post some lyrics from it :)

Monday Morning 5:19 - Rialto

At eight o`clock we said goodbye
that`s when I left her house for mine
she said that she`d be staying in
well she had to be at work by nine
so I get home and have a bath
and let an hour or two pass
drifting in front of my T.V
when a film comes on that she wants to see
It`s monday morning 5:19
and I`m still wondering where she`s been
cos everytime I try to call
I just get her machine
and now it`s almost six a.m
and I don`t want to try again
cos if she`s still not back
then this must be the end
At first I guess she`s gone to get
herself a pack of cigarettes
a pint of milk,food for the cat
but it`s midnight now and she`s still not back
It`s monday morning 5:19
and I`m still wondering where she`s been
cos everytime I try to call
I just get her machine
and now it`s almost six a.m
and I don`t want to try again
cos if she`s still not back
then this must be the end
At half past two I picture her
in the back of someone else`s car
he runs his fingers through her hair
oh you shouldn`t let him touch you there
It`s monday morning 5:19
and I`m still wondering where she`s been
cos everytime I try to call
I just get her machine
and now it`s almost six a.m
and I don`t want to try again
cos if she`s still not back
then this must be the end...

DJ Rap - Good to be alive

Don’t crucify if I feel alive
It’s a natural high and I’m satisfied
Absolved from sin
I called the devil from within
He told me live my life
Don’t let them criticise
It’s good to be alive
Sometimes I wonder how I survived
And in my minds eye
When you’re low no-one seems to know
A fallen angel tonight
I feel no shame when I’m high
It feels so good must be right
It feels so good inside
Inside
I’d love to love you but I’m too impure an angel
I’d love to love you
Don’t compromise
You don’t live my life
’cos l don’t judge you
When I look in your eyes
It’s good to be alive
Sometimes I wonder how I survived
And in my mind‘s eye
When you’re low no-one seems to know
A fallen angel tonight
I feel no shame when I’m high
Lt feels so good must be right
It feels so good inside
Inside
I’d love to love you

Kenickie - Acetone

ACETONE

Faster faster on your feet
you have to dodge the sick stains on the street
blow you dust into my mouth
I'll lick my lips and take it like a man
I would like another way to breathe
keep my eyes wide open in my sleep
cos when I'm underwater
you keep me under glass
Come on baby you're the one
bus station seats where we have all out fun
put this ring into your good hand
explain it in a way you'll understand
Keep me warm
you keep me cold
and rest your head in my blue bones
and as I spit my dying wish
you're listening to something else
I would like another way to breathe
keep my eyes wide open in my sleep
cos when I'm underwater
you keep me under glass
 
John Lennon

Working Class Hero by John Lennon

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be,
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasants as far as i can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

Audioslave - Shadow on the Sun

Once upon a time
I was on a mind to lay your burden down
and leave you where you stood
you believed i could
you'd seen it done before
i could read your thoughts
and tell you what you saw
and never say a word
but now that is gone
over with and done
and never to return
i can tell you why
people die alone
i can tell you why
the shadow on the sun
staring at the loss
looking for the cause
and never really sure
nothing but a hole
to live without a soul
and nothing to be learned
i can tell you why
people go insane
i can show you how
you could do the same
i can tell you why
the end will never come
i can tell you on
the shadow on the sun
shapes of every size
move behind my eyes
doors inside my head
bolted from within
every drop of flame
lights a candle in
memory of the one
who lived inside my skin
i can tell you why
people go insane
i can show you how
you could do the same
i can tell you why
the end will never come
i can tell you on
the shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
sun
sun
 
Mandinka || Sinead O Connor

I'm dancing the seven veils
Want you to pick up my scarf
See how the black moon fades
Soon I can give you my heart

I don't know no shame
I feel no pain
I can't see the flame
But I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do

They're throwing it all this way
Dragging it back to the start
And they say, "See how the glass is raised?"
I have refused to take part
I told them "drink something new"
Please let me pull something through

I don't know no shame
I feel no pain
I can't
I don't know no shame
I feel no pain
I can't see the flame

But I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do
I do
I do
I say I do
Soon I can give you my heart
I swear I do
Soon I can give you my heart

I do
Mandinka
Soon I can give you my heart
Soon I can give you my heart
Soon I can give you my heart
 
I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call

Whenever I fall at your feet
And you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Go, I'll be waiting when you call

Whenever I fall at your feet
And you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead

I fall at your feet
And you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I fall
