Lyrics That Appeal To You Today

We felt it was time to make just "The Lyrics Thread", no version whatever, now that we dont need to close threads at 100 posts anymore.. so here it is..the lyrics thread to end all lyrics threads :p now forever conveniently located at the top of the page :) arent we thoughtful, now you dont even have to go looking for it...

All of the previous versions can be found HERE

and to start it off a beautiful song by an amazing band... this song fits me well... so just consider the entire thing bolded ok

O SONG - AUGIE MARCH

You don't keep me company,
You all turn out wrong,
If you are my daughters, if you are my sons,
I can only hold you inside for so long,
O song, did I lead you on?

If you are my love, well love what's wrong?
You don't keep me company for near enough long,
I can't feel or touch you, or hold you for long,
O song, are you leading me on?

Friends come in time, and then they are gone,
I know what it's like to be floating along
Without a warm body to heap your cares on,
O on and into the night.

For I have been bad now for twenty years long,
For centuries you have been pure and strong,
If you thought me a good place to stay you were wrong,
O song, did I lead you on?

Have A Nice Day lyrics:


She puts the coffee on the counter before he takes his seat
And slides the sugar closer to him. She knows he likes it sweet.
And then she lingers with busy fingers, waiting for his smile
They talk about the rainy weather, she's thinking all the while

What she wants to say is:
"I can love a man like you.
Oh, how I wish you knew.
I have seen you're good and kind,
Strong enough for two.
You could sweep me off my feet
And carry me away,"
But all she says is:
"Have a nice day."

They talk about how unemployment is finally coming down,
The factory that's going to bring some life back to this town.
She wonders if his words mean more than what it really seems
And she's still looking for the courage to say just what she means.

What she wants to say is:
"I can love a man like you.
Oh, how I wish you knew.
I have seen you're good and kind,
Strong enough for two.
I'm more woman than I can show you
In this old café,"
But all she says is:
"Have a nice day."

He winks once, then he's gone. She's got time to kill.
And in her dreams she's leavin' with him, she knows some day she will

What she wants to say is:
"I can love a man like you.
Oh, how I wish you knew.
I have seen you're good and kind,
strong enough for two.
I'm more woman than I can show you
in this old café,"
But all she says is:
"Have a nice day."
 
Evanescence ~ Whisper

catch me as i fall
say you're here and it's all over now
speaking to the atmosphere
no one's here and i fall into myself
this truth drive me
into madness
i know i can stop the pain
if i will it all away

[chorus]
don't turn away
(don't give in to the pain)
don't try to hide
(though they're screaming your name)
don't close your eyes
(god knows what lies behind them)
don't turn out the light
(never sleep never die)

i'm frightened by what i see
but somehow i know
that there's much more to come
immobilized by my fear
and soon to be
blinded by tears
i can stop the pain
if i will it all away

[chorus]

fallen angels at my feet
whispered voices at my ear
death before my eyes
lying next to me i fear
she beckons me
shall i give in
upon my end shall i begin
forsaking all i've fallen for
i rise to meet my end

[chorus]
 
i know but those huge merged threads are all messy and crap. ive never liked the idea of having a 3200 post thread lol, its intimidating :p im happy to leave it how it is, but one of the other mods can do it if they feel the desire, i dont mind lol.

just call me old fasioned ;)
 
Massive Attack, Sinead O'Conner - What Your Soul Sings

Don’t be afraid
Open your mouth to say
Say what your soul sings to you

Your mind can never change
Unless you ask it to
Lovingly rearrange
The thoughts that make you blue
The things that bring you down
Will mean no harm to you
And so make your choice joy
The joy belongs to you

And when you do
You'll find the one you love is here
You'll find you
The love yeah

Don’t be ashamed no
To open your heart and pray
Say what your soul sings to you

So no longer pretend
That you can’t feel it near
That tickle on your hand
That tingle in your ear
And ask it anything
Because it loves you dear
It’s your most precious king
If only you could hear

And when you do
You’ll find the one you need is here
You’ll find you
Love you
 
It's my Song of the Week (tm)

Something Corporate :: Forget December

on christmas morning
outside it was pouring
all was hopeless in this home
and no one speaking
no one creeping
to see if she was on the phone
and u were quiet
this routine riot is all but practical to me
and if we see it why can't we be it?
can we let eachother be?

forget december
it won't be better than i remember it before
and this month only
would be so lonely
and not so homely anymore

new years eve came
but nothing had changed
all the problems just got worse
we sat in silence
the routine science could heal the sickness we reherse
and if im talking
my words are mocking
the deaf ears they have fallen on
these words are tainted
with years of jaded
in a sense thats all but gone

forget december
it won't be better than i remember it before
and this month only
would be so lonely
and not so homely anymore..
anymore... anymore... anymore...

forget december
it won't be better than i remember it before
and this month only
would be so lonely
and not so homely anymore

forget december
it won't be better than i remember it before
a silent night won't feel quite right
its not so silent anymore..
anymore... anymore... anymore...

on christmas morning
outside it was pouring
all was hopeless in this home
 
Aguilera Christina: Walk Away

What do you do when you know something's bad for you
And you still can't let go?


I was naïve
Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet
I was deceived by the wrapping

Got caught in your web
And I learned how to plead
I was prey in your bed
And devoured completely

And it hurts my soul
Cos I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cos I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from


I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

I should have known
I was used for amusement
Couldn't see through the smog
It was all an illusion

Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds)
Woke up in love and seems so great (deeper, deeper)
We both can't subdue
Darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner)

I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your lure
and I'm feeling for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need...

I can make it
It's some state I'm in
Getting nothing everytime
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this moment
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from

I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

Everytime I try to grasp for air
I get smothered and this sky, it's never over, over
Seems I never wake from this nightmare
I let out a solid breath, let it be over, over

Inside I'm screaming
Breaking, pleading the world
Ahh...

My heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true
Each peep reminds me of you

It hurts my soul
Cos I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cos I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need...

I'm about to break
I guess I missed it
I'm addicted to your lure
And I'm feeling for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need...

I can make it
It's some state I'm in
Getting nothing everytime
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this moment
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from

I say...
I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

Only thing I need to do is walk away

I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away
 
Alkaline Trio - I lied my face off

Well it's not fair, it's not even close
You tied me down where I'm forced to watch
As you poke holes in every part of me
Containing something secretly
Something sacred to me
I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay
It's never fine when you go away
These cuts run deep, these scars are permanent
And always on display
This makes things difficult for me

It's not fair, it's not even close
You fed me the sun, burned me up inside
And watched me choke on everything we did
On everything we lived
Let's see if I can live again
I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay
It's never fine when you go away
These cuts run deep, these scars are permanent
And always on display
This makes things difficult for me

Head like an empty, sterile room
Somehow I made a mess
Like watching newborn babies crack
from work related stress
Head like an empty, sterile room
Somehow I made a mess
Like watching newborn babies crack
from work related stress
I'm bad luck, can't fuck, got no reflection today
Maybe I'll stay down next time I get hit by a train
By a train
I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay
It's never fine when you go away
 
"I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what you are?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what

Nah-nah-nah-nah
I say, I say, I say
I do hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what you are?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what you are? "

Emma Bunton - What I am
 
radiohead

where i end and you begin
there's a gap between
there's a gap where we meet
where i end and you begin

and i'm sorry for us
the dinosaurs roam the earth
the sky turns green
where i end and you begin

i am up in the clouds
i am up in the clouds
and i can't and i can't come down

i can watch and can't take part
where i end and where you start
where you, you left me alone
you left me alone.

X' will mark the place
like parting the waves
like a house falling in the sea.

i will eat you alive
i will eat you alive
i will eat you alive
i will eat you alive

there will be no more lies
there will be no more lies
there will be no more lies
there will be no more lies

---------------------------------------------------
Follow Me Around

I see you in the dark
falling down the fast lane
calling out to me
oh that's where i'll be
crawling out to me
crawling out to me

you follow me around
you follow me around
you follow me around
you follow me around

even when your coming down
and i'll take you for a walk
then i can see you
I'm feeling it coming down


you follow me around
you follow me around
you follow me around
you follow me around
I feel it
I feel it
 
Armin van Buuren featuring Ray Wilson ~ Yet Another Day

Some things disappear inside
Should I try to run away
If I could I would escape you
I won't argue anymore
I have lost the will to be
Hope you don't think I'm ungrateful
Why, why are you laughing ?
Is it something that I said ?


I don't like this place at all
Makes me wonder what I'm here for

Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don't want to be your friend
Or pretend I can fit into
I'm incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day


Close the curtains lock the door
Left my note upon the stair
In hope you wouldn't read it
Fake emotions in my head
Everything I've seen and read
Can't begin to find a reason
Why, why are you laughing ?
Is it something that I said ?...


I don't like this place at all
Makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don't want to be your friend
Or pretend I can fit into
I'm incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day
 
this is for a girl i used to know so well. im trying to let her friendship go because it seems its what she wants. i just wish shed stop appearing in my dreams.

The Upstairs Room - The Cure

I love it all
These games we play
I close my eyes
You run away
I'm sure I asked you to stay
But now you're gone

And so I feel the grey
Pulse in my head
I turn off the lights and crawl into bed
I try to think of sunshine
But my body goes wet
With the first crash of thunder...

I don't think I can know
Anyone but you dear
That's for sure!

When it gets to four
It's my turn to go
Oh the kiss!
So alcoholic and slow
Arranging me for Saturday
I thought you would know
That I always sleep alone...

I don't think I can know
Anyone but you
Dear
That's for sure!

The upstairs room is cool and bright
We can go up there in summer
And dance all night...

Your sister started talking at a minute after ten
So everyone jumped up
And then fell over again
In April you can join them
And stare at me
At the ghost from your past...
 
Jewel ~ Standing Still

Cuttin' through the darkest night in my two headlights
Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here to the twilight
There's a dead end to my left, there's a burning bush to my right
You aren't in sight, you aren't in sight

Do you want me, like I want you?
Or am I standing still, beneath the darkened sky?
Or am I standing still, with the scenery flying by?
Or am I standing still, out of the corner of my eye?
Was that you passing me by?

Mothers on the stoop, boys in souped-up coupes on this hot summer night
Between fight and flight is the blind man's sight and the choice that's right
I roll the window down, feel like I'm gonna drown in this strange town
Feel broken down, I feel broken down

Do you need me, like I need you?
Or am I standing still, beneath the darkened sky?
Or am I standing still, with the scenery flying by?
Or am I standing still, out of the corner of my eye?
Was that you passing me by?

Sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow
Sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow

Do you love me, like I love you?
Or am I standing still, beneath the darkened sky?
Or am I standing still, with the scenery flying by?
Or am I standing still, out of the corner of my eye?
Was that you passing me by?
Are you passing me by? (Passing me by)
Do you want me? (Passing me by)
Do you need me, like I need you too?
And do you want me, like I want you?
Are you passing me by?
 
We Suck Young Blood - Radiohead

are you hungry?
are you sick?
are you begging for a break?

are you sweet?
are you fresh?
are you strung up by the wrists?

we want the young blood (la-la-la-la)

are you fracturing?
did you do anything?
are you torn at the seams?
fleabitten? motheaten?

we suck young blood (la-la-la-la)
we want the young blood (la-la-la-la)

won't let the creeping ivy?
won't let the nervous bury me
our veins are thin
our rivers poisoned

we want the sweet meats (la-la-la-la)
we want the young blood (la-la-la-la)


Wolf at the Door - Radiohead

drag him out the window
dragging out your dead
singing i miss you
snakes and ladders
flip the lid
out pops the cracker
smacks you in the head
knifes you in the neck
kicks you in the teeth
steel toe caps
takes all your credit cards
get up get the gunge
get the eggs
get the flan in the face
the flan in the face
the flan in the face
dance you fucker dance you fucker
don't you dare
don't you dare
don't you flan in the face
take it with the love is given
take it with a pinch of salt
take it to the taxman
let me back let me back
i promise to be good
don't look in the mirror
at the face you don't recognize
help me call the doctor
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside


i keep the wolf from the door
but he calls me up
calls me on the phone
tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
steal all my children
if i don't pay the ransom
but i'll never see him again
if i squeal to the cops


walking like a giant crane and
with my x ray eyes i strip you naked
in a tight little world and are you on the list?
stepford wives who are we to complain?
investments and dealers investments and dealers
cold wives and mistresses.
cold wives and sunday papers.
city boys in 1st class
don't know we're born
just know someone else is gonna come and clean it up
born and raised for the job
oh I wish you'd get up
go over and turn this tape off.


i keep the wolf from the door
but he calls me up
calls me on the phone
tells me all the ways that hes gonna mess me up
steal all my children
if i don't pay the ransom
but i'll never see him again
if i squeal to the cops

I've been up all night, you've been puttin' up a fight.
Seems like nothin' I say gets through.
How did this old bed fit a world between me and you.
We said 'Goodnight' but the silence was so thick
you could cut it with a knife.
We've hit the wall again and there's nothin' I can do.
You're the one, yea, I've put all my trust in your hands.
C'mon and look in my eyes, here I am, here I am

You don't understand me, my baby.
You don't seem to know that I need you so much.
You don't understand me, my feelings,
the reason I'm breathin', my love

The mornin' comes and you're reaching out for me
just like everything's the same
and I let myself believe things are gonna change.
When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close,
do you wonder who's inside?
Maybe there's no way we could feel each other's pain.
Tell me why it gets harder to know where I stand.
I guess loneliness found a new friend, here I am

You don't understand me...

You don't seem to get me, my baby.
You don't really see that I live for your touch.
You don't understand me, my dreams or the things I believe in, my love.
You don't understand me. You don't understand me. Understand me.

You Dont Understand Me *Roxette*
 
inside my skin there is this space
it twists and turns
it bleeds and aches
inside my heart there's an empty room
it's waiting for lightning
it's waiting for you
and i am wanting
and i am needing you here
inside the absence of fear

muscle and sinew
velvet and stone
this vessel is haunted
it creaks and moans
my bones call to you
in their separate skin
i make myself translucent
to let you in, for i am wanting
and i am needing you here
inside the absence of fear

there is this hunger
this restlessness inside of me
and it knows that you're no stranger
you're my gravity
my hands will adore you through all darkness aim
they will lay you out in moonlight
and reinvent your name
for i am wanting you
and i am needing you here
i need you near
inside the absence of fear

Absense of Fear *Jewel*
 
Kid 606 does a cover of this song. I heard it on my way over to your house today.

New Order - Temptation

Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before

Heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling I need, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to see you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me
From time to time, I find I've lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh no, I've never met anyone quite like you before
 
I heard this on the radio the other day, and the lyrics really stood out to me....


Linkin Park - 'Somewhere I Belong'


When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I let it all out to find /that I'm
Not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Nothing to lose
Just stuck/hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I want to heal
I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
[Erase all the pain 'til it's gone] I want to heal
I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something i've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
I was confused
Looking everywhere/only to find that it's
Not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
So what am I
What do I have but negativity
'Cause I can't justify the
Way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain/hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
The fault is my own

I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
Anything 'til I break away from me
And I will break away
I'll find myself today

I want to heal
I want to feel like I'm
Somewhere i belong
 
^^^ asm - i like that song too from their new album.

Been listening to this song all morning.

Fleetwood Mac ~ Landslide

i took my love, i took it down
climbed a mountain and i turned around
and i saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'til the landslide brought it down

oh, mirror in the sky
-what is love?
-can the child within my heart rise above?
-can i sail thru the changin' ocean tides?
-can i handle the seasons of my life?
i don't know.....

well, i've been afraid of changin'
'cause i've built my life around you
but time makes you bolder
even children get older
and i'm getting older too

oh, take my love, take it down
climb a mountain and turn around
-and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
well the landslide will bring it down

-and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
well the landslide will bring it down
the landslide will bring it down
 
When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soo I'll be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights

You just call out my name
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there (yes i will)
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
keep your head together
and call my name out loud
soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see
Winter, Spring, Summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there (yes i will)
You've got a friend

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
they'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there (yes i will)
You've got a friend

*carole king...you've got a friend*

im singing this at a friends wedding early next year, and the few lines i have re-wrote after it remind me of a dear person i know, who has helped me through so much lately...actually the whole thing is...*hugs* ----< @
