Lyrics That Appeal To You Today!

[Mariposa]

Juliana Hatfield- Easy Way Out

You want your mother
She is your heroin
Your daddy didn't love you
You're breaking things again

You don't want to love
You want to fight
You don't want to do it
You're too uptight

Well I know it's got nothing to do with me
I won't be your drama queen

Bad goodbye
You took the easy way out
You want it so bad to be bad
It's an easy way out

Your badge of honour
An image of disease
You bought it on the corner
Instant authenticity

I count the days
How long will it take?
You're selling tickets to the self-destruction
You want the world to see your pain
I didn't come this far to go back again

Bad goodbye
You take the easy way out
You wanted so bad to be bad
It's an easy way out

Your daily bath
Can't keep your conscience clean
You're unequal to the task
And you've got the nerve to be weak

Bad goodbye
You took the easy way out, out, out
You blame it on me
But you're the disease
It's an easy way out

And he cries
Like a girl
And he lies
To the world
And the hate
And the guilt
And the pills
It's an easy way out

The Corries - Scottish Soldier


There was a soldier a scottish soldier
who wandered far away and soldiered far away
there was none bolder with good broad shoulder
he fought in many a fray and fought and won
he'd seen the glory and told the story
of battles glorious and deeds victorious
now he's sighing his heart is crying
to leave those green hills of tyrol

because these green hills are not highland hills
or the island hills
they're not my land's hills
and fair as these green foreign hills may be
they are not the hills of home

and now the soldier the scottish soldier
who wandered far away and soldiered far away
sees leaves are falling and death is calling
and he will fade away in that fair land
he called his piper his trusty piper
and bade him sound a lay, a pibroch sad to play
upon a hillside a scottish hillside
not on these green hills of tyrol

and so the soldier the scottish soldier
will wander far no more and soldier far no more
and on a hillside a scottish hillside
you'll hear a piper play his soldier home
he'd seen the glory and told the story
of battles glorious and deeds victorious
the bugles cease now he is at peace now
far from these green hills of tyrol

because these green hills are not highland hills
or the island hills
they're not my land's hills
and fair as these green foreign hills may be
they are not the hills of home

 

[A Catatonic Simian]

Muse....."Unintended"


You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love.
You could be the one who listens
To my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love.

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before.

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you.
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before.

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before.

Before you.

Mudvayne - Severed

And we hide behind,
Lies, anger, Hate they shoo love away,
Build shells of ourselves outside,
It shelters body from cold reigns of reality,

Come on, Step out, of your rind, assemble strength, focus,

Release and run to me you can never look back to the visions from the
past they fade and wilt in time,
You've got to just trust me to hold your hand through,
Then I turn and walk away,

Eclipse you (Cut you away),
And bleed you strip you of your states of ain soph aur,
Eclipse you (Cut you away),
I spit up on my plate and I push everything away,
From me
And we sever all ties,
It creates disruption midst circle of friends,
I become the sacrifice,
Spare your life and leave me to my misery,

Get off the cross, and save yourself, run away

Run now get away from me if I can get my grip I'll pull you down into
the hell I call my head you'll never get away
I sit down in my ugly place and build walls out of fragments from my
past of all the people that I needed and loved that walked away,

You've got to just trust me to hold your hand through then I'll turn
and walk away

I walk under the clouds of gray,
Sphere of storms in my head,

I'm trapped again in endless rain
I divorce the thoughts of you I love with me,
I divorce your innocence and my guilt,
I divorce the lying sellout confidence,
I'm divorcing every mother fuckin' thing
I divorce the love bled meaningless,
I divorce the makeshift harmony,
I divorce the taunting acts of violence,
I divorce the pastime of jealousy,
I divorce control,
I divorce the faith,
I divorce the virtue,
I divorce the rain,
I divorce the excuse,
I divorce the greed,
I divorce the need,
I divorce iniquity in this mother fuckin' bullshit life,
Just want it all to go away,
Just want to run away to die, take it, myself, my life
Text book fucking mental, off me and pitch me in a hole

I'll always be your shadow,
And veil your eyes from states of ain soph aur,
I can't be the hero anymore,
I spit up on my plate and then I turn and walk away,
I spit up on my plate and I disrupt the family,
I spit up on my plate and I sever the entity,
And I feel your warm sun on my face
Separate .

Eclipse you and bleed you strip you of your states of ain soph
aur,
I need you,
It's always been this way, I push it all away,
From me

 

[Suki_Nova]

It's by Cat Power but I haven't got a clue what it's called...

Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better than what came before

And you’d better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come

Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better that what came before

And you’d better run run, run run to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come, come come, come come to me
You’d better run

 

[mariacallas]

over you ~ echo and the bunnymen

Jump right in
take the call
were you pushed
or did you fall?
Fell apart
Feeling low
happy ride
the merry-go
And I always hear them singing
and complaining about the world
but my chiming bells are ringing out
the word the word the word
Love rebounds
heart goes snap
Is she ever
coming back?
Let her down
break her fall
never ever
Felt so small
And I always hear them singing
and complaining about the world
and my chiming bells are ringing out
the word the word the word
Feeling good again
always hoped I would
never believed
that I ever could
Feeing blue again
never wanted to
Under the weather
And it`s over you
Over you (the hole in the holy)
(and the crack in our hearts)
Over you (it`s love and love only)
(that sets our world apart)
Over you (worlds apart)
(joined at the heart)
Jump right in
take the call
Were you pushed
Or did you fall?
Fell apart
Feeling low
Happy ride
the merry-go
And I always hear them singing
and complaining about the world
and my chiming bells are ringing out
the word the word the word
(repeat) Feeling good again...
Over you (the hole in the holy)
(and the crack in our hearts)
Over you (it`s love and love only)
(the sets our worlds apart)
(repeat) Feeling good again...
Over you (and a dream is a means)
(to an end of the things)
Over you (that will tempt you away)
(From the path to the true way in)
(repeat) Feeling good again...
Over you
Over you

 

[mealltach]

^^that is uncannily appropriate right now. thank you so much, CC.

 

[mealltach]

he told me to listen to this song, says it conveys how he feels

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
I'm going back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m going back to the start

Coldplay - The Scientist

 

[Suki_Nova]

I've posted these lyrics umpteen times, but it's only because they constantly put me in mind of a certain person. Plus, whenever there's a wee drama (quite often ) I nearly always hear this song on the radio or tv during or after.

U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

And it's you when I look in the mirror
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

 

[Honermen]

Gimme Shelter

THE ROLLING STONES - Gimme Shelter


Ooh, a storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get some shelter, oh yeah I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away


Ooh, see the fire is sweepin, our very streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet, mad bull lost its way
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away


Mmm, the flood is threatening, my very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter, or I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, it's just a thaught away, it's just a shot away

I said, love, sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, yeah

 

[Mariposa]

heard an amazing mix of this tonight... am most impressed.

Alicia Keys - Diary

Lay your head on my pillow
Here you can be yourself
No one has to know what you are feeling
No one but me and you (ooooo)

I won't tell your secrets
Your secrets are safe with me
I will keep, your secrets
Just think of me as the pages in your diary

I feel such a connection
Even when you're far away (mmmmm)
Ohh baby if there is anything that you fear
Call 489-4608, and I'll be here (here)

And only we know what is talked about baby boy
I don't know how you can be driving me so crazy boy
And baby when you're in town, why don't you come around boy
I'll be the loyalty you need, you can trust me boy

(Ohhh) I won't tell, (nah nah no) your secrets (I won't I won't I won't)
Your secrets are safe with me (safe with me)
I will keep (I will keep) your secrets, (yourrr)
Just think of me as the pages in your diary

Everybody say whoahhh (whoahhh)
Let me hear you say whoahhh (whoahhh)
Everybody say whoahhh (whoahhh)
Now sing it whoahhh (whoahhh)

Let me hear you say I won't tell (I won't tell)
I won't tell (I won't tell)
I won't tell (I won't tell)
Your secrets, your secrets
Break it down Oh

Liz

Dedicated to the Memory of Liz... 1981 to 2005... baby blue, there's another star in the sky. This one's for you x

PS. This is the only time I'll ever quote Mariah x

Mariah Carey - One Sweet Day

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it’s too late to hold you
’cause you’ve flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together

One sweet day

Evetually I’ll see you in heaven...

Darling, I never showed you (I never showed you)
Assumed you’d always be there (I thought you’d always be there)
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together

One sweet day
Eventually I’ll see you in heaven

Although the sun will never shine the same
I’ll always look to a brighter day

Yeah
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together

One sweet day

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together

One sweet day

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say...

 

[Suki_Nova]

Alanis Morrissette - Sorry To Myself
(in a fit of self-forgiveness!)

For hearing all my doubts so selectively and
For continuing my numbing love endlessly.
For helping you and myself: not even considering
For beating myself up and overfunctioning.

To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.

For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable
For myself love being so embarassingly conditional.
And for denying myself to somehow make us compatible
And for trying to fit a rectangle into a ball.

And
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.

I’m sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
I’m sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

For blaming myself for your unhappiness
And for my impatience when I was perfect where I was.
Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready,
And expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be.

To whom do I owe the first apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.

And
I’m sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
I’m sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest ?
Forgetting you or forgetting myself...
Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter,
I would’ve naturally loved the former.

For ignoring you: my highest voices.
For smiling when my strife was all too obvious.
For being so disassociated from my body,
And for not letting go when it would’ve been the kindest thing.

To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.

And
I’m sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I’m sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
I’m sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I’m sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else

 

[Suki_Nova]

Here's one for 1.2

Without whom, life would be terminally dull...

Pet Shop Boys - Somewhere

There's a place for us
somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
wait for us somewhere

There's a time for us
some day a time for us
Time together with time to spare
time to learn, time to care
some day, somewhere

We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
somewhere

There's a place for us
a time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
somehow, some day
somewhere

There's a place for us
a time and a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
somehow, some day
somewhere

 

[Furnace]

Nine Black Alps - Cosmopolitan

you're not pretty enough
you're not skinny enough
you're not healthy enough
you're not shaking at ourselves

you're not lonely enough
you're not holy enough
you're not saying too much
about what you think we want

so shock me
so shock me
so shock me

well, you spend the night
i'll take my life
we'll close our eyes
we'll be dead by sunrise

you're not dreaming too much
you're not sleeping enough
you're not burning enough
of your bodies in the morgue

so shock me
so shock me
so shock me

you spend the night
i'll take my life
we'll close our eyes
we'll be dead by sunrise

you spend the night
i'll take my life
we'll close our eyes
we're so uptight

you spend the night
i'll take my life
we'll kill our time
we'll be dead by sunrise

 

[Mariposa]

for Suki_Nova... the continuation.

It's better out here. I remember this song from when I was deciding to go west, too. Some days are better than others but I've made the sacrifices I have had to and I have no regrets.

Pet Shop Boys - Go West

Come on, come on, come on, come on

(Together) We will go our way
(Together) We will leave someday
(Together) Your hand in my hands
(Together) We will make our plans

(Together) We will fly so high
(Together) Tell all our friends goodbye
(Together) We will start life new
(Together) This is what we'll do

(Go West) Life is peaceful there
(Go West) In the open air
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West) This is what we're gonna do

(Go West, this is what we're gonna do, Go West)

(Together) We will love the beach
(Together) We will learn and teach
(Together) Change our pace of life
(Together) We will work and strive

(I love you) I know you love me
(I want you) How could I disagree?
(So that's why) I make no protest
(When you say) You will do the rest

(Go West) Life is peaceful there
(Go West) In the open air
(Go West) Baby you and me
(Go West) This is our destiny (Aah)

(Go West) Sun in wintertime
(Go West) We will do just fine
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West, this is what we're gonna do)

There where the air is free
We'll be (We'll be) what we want to be (Aah aah aah aah)
Now if we make a stand (Aah)
We'll find (We'll find) our promised land (Aah)

(I know that) There are many ways
(To live there) In the sun or shade
(Together) We will find a place
(To settle) Where there's so much space

(Without rush) And the pace back east
(The hustling) Rustling just to feed
(I know I'm) Ready to leave too
(So that's what) We are gonna do

(What we're gonna do is
Go West) Life is peaceful there
(Go West) There in the open air
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West) This is what we're gonna do

(Life is peaceful there)
Go West (In the open air)
Go West (Baby, you and me)
Go West (This is our destiny)

Come on, come on, come on, come on

(Go West) Sun in wintertime
(Go West) We will feel just fine
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West) This is what we're gonna do

(Come on, come on, come on)
(Go West)

(Go West)
(Go, ooh, go, yeah)
(Go West)
(Go, ooh, go, yeah)
(Go West)
(Go, ooh, go, yeah)
(Go West)
(Go, ooh, go, yeah)
(Gimme a feelin')

^nice lyrics, and nice quote

I was in the mood for the Velvet Underground this morning.

Velvet Underground - I'll Be Your Mirror

I’ll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don’t know
I’ll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you’re home

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you’re twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
’cause I see you

I find it hard to believe you don’t know
The beauty that you are
But if you don’t let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won’t be afraid

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you’re twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
’cause I see you

I’ll be your mirror

 

[Suki_Nova]

Frank Sinatra - I've Got You Under My Skin

I’ve got you under my skin
I’ve got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you’re really a part of me
I’ve got you under my skin

I’ve tried so not to give in
I’ve said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know damn well
That I’ve got you under my skin

I’d sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don’t you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
’cause I’ve got you under my skin

 

[Suki_Nova]

Pulp - Something Changed

I wrote the song two hours before we met.
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet.
Oh, I could have stayed at home and gone to bed.
I could have gone to see a film instead.
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends
Life could have been very different then but something changed.
Do you believe that there's someone up above?
Does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say?
Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway!
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today... something changed.
When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing
That in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going.
Where would I be now if we'd never met?
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead I dunno...
But like you said something changed.
